I think it is totally bizarre that the official getting started page just kind of throws a Maven invocation in, like it's no big deal. It's at the bottom of the page, but if you are going to mention additional software that needs

This was studied a couple of years ago, it was suspected that 5-15ms could be shaved from start time by removing doc strings entirely. https://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Improving+Clojure+Sta...

I'd like to highlight that knowledge of Java makes working with Clojure a lot easier. I think you can probably get pretty far by picking the right libraries and being careful, but eventually a mistake will be made and understanding Jav

I'm a little disappointed that the piece highlights unusual work environments like Google and Facebook and cites them as examples that things have changed in the last twenty years. A big part of what made the film work for me was that

Fair enough, after looking around the big quote seems to be this one: "Pijul started as an attempt to fix the performance of darcs, and ended up among the fastest distributed version control systems." https://pijul.org&

People can contribute in many ways, I don't agree that only contributions that furthers someone else's economic goals should be judged worthy. That said, I don't think we will see shortening of the workday without some sort o

It would be inconvenient for Plex to stop functioning. But with all the data stored locally, it will be pretty easy to move to another product. Worst case I might setup Samba and just watch from a laptop.

I wonder if some people are built such that they can't just put the phone down, similar to how many people really struggle to quit smoking. For those people there may be no "healthy" was to use the product.

I agree that C# would be a better fit. In terms of this ruling, I don't think the language really matters. Re-implementing any API that is copyrighted will be a problem no matter what the language. In terms of re-implementing the langu

by cmiles74 8y ago
I suspect that the implementation of any API would come under the shadow of this ruling. For instance, replacing a proprietary product with an open-source variant that has the same API would also be illegal or subject to licensing fees. In

I honestly believe that the ongoing battle between hospitals and insurance companies are a big contributor to the problem. After that, I think short-sited management is a big issue as well as the ever increasing executive compensation.

I don't disagree. But I don't think we can judge the intent of people who are discriminating in a racist way, aside from simply asking them what the think their intent might have been. At that point it's very likely we'l

A lot of people rationalize racist or discriminatory beliefs in such a way that they seem reasonable. Yet, when you judge their behavior as a whole, it tells a different story. The banker who consistently gives loans to people from [group x

by cmiles74 8y ago
I'm saying that racism cannot be solely an issue of someone's intent, it needs to be evaluated by the outcome. An outcome is a fact that we can all observe. An intent is internal to a person, we can never get a clear view of a per

by cmiles74 8y ago
I think it's important to note that there is no algorithm that can have an "intent". If we are to agree that racism is a feature of intent, then there will never be a racist algorithm. Yet the outcome will still be discrimina

by cmiles74 8y ago
Thinking of racism in terms of the intent is a way to take the issue less seriously, to force the issue into the realm of opinions and beliefs. If the intent of the perpetrator is the deciding factor, then it is always arguable that perpetr

It's painful to admit, but many of those people may have passed away already. In my own experience with my own relatives, they have all been in their nineties and in many cases their children had already passed away or moved out of sta

Caregivers are great, but I think you need to be pretty far in before your family figures it out and gets that kind of thing setup. I don't think it's reasonable for a person with dementia to schedule and manage their own care giv

I found the conversation to be sub-par and disappointing. I also find it discouraging that these arguments inevitably boil down to a Clojure-vs-Common-Lisp argument. What about Racket, Guile, Chicken Scheme, etc.?

I think this is very much the case, and most administrators are looking to make sure that billing tasks are completed in a quick and fulfilling matter. IMHO, this is where people should be concerned: one of the primary goals of these produc

There is a lot of copying and pasting data from one system (i.e. lab results) into the other. This is probably rooted in distrust of the system and fear that the lab results will become unavailable combined with a healthy amount of "co

Costs of insurance where rising steadily and faster before the ACA. Since the ACA has started to take effect, the speed with which the cost of insurance rises has slowed. While this plan you had ten years ago may have worked for you, many m

I think it's weird in this case that the methodology on each side is so drastically different. IMHO, the missing piece is clear rules on how to compare large crappy properties that only warehouse stores are interested in... Everyone us

After reading the article, the impression I came away with was that they were choosing "comparable properties" that were recently re-sold big box sites. It seems that the municipality's appraisers take the infrastructure arou

I have to disagree that the town's have been breaking the law. You can criticize their choice of comparable properties but it doesn't strike me as illegal or necessarily dishonest. However it seems like maybe we need an entirely n
