I ported my 7-year-old vBulletin community to a forum I wrote from scratch with Clojure + Datomic earlier this year. Datomic was a nice choice since it makes it trivial to expose a post's edit history. It also makes it easy to query fo

Planning a missile strike by drawing a crude world map with an explosion (labeled "explosion") is like planning a killing spree by drawing a stick figure with an uzi in each hand mowing down other stick figures.

The original title is "Don't Link that Line Number" which also isn't what the article is saying, so the HN re-title is an improvement. An accurate title would look more like "Use commit-specific links when linking t

Any sort of system I've tried to come up with for reading and writing only ensured that I didn't do either. I rarely read my stuff. And much of it I don't really want to read. — Once I have the power of hindsight, reminding m

Consistently journaling has been my most valuable habit over the past 5 years. It's the only way to relive thoughts I'll never have again because I become jaded. It's also a great way to grasp just how much of everything I fo

It simply means there's no obvious fingerprint that builtwith.com was able to detect. For example, the default Express app contains `X-Powered-By: Express` in the response header. Ruby on Rails is usually sniffed by its predictable coo

I also went Ruby -> Clojure. Ruby appealed to me because of its simplicity and conciseness, but after a couple years it turned out to actually be rather complex. I found the simplicity and conciseness I was looking for when I was randoml

I had the opposite experience. It's pretty obvious how to do anything in Clojure. I don't need to hunt down magical incantations to use libraries like I had to in Ruby. I started Clojure for web development. Once I found out about
