I take an amphetamine pro-drug (Vyvanse) and I'm incredibly reluctant to recommend it any time someone expresses trouble with motivation/focus. But it did change my life at that critical I-don't-know-how-I'll-make-it-thr

Electrum is a thin client that has to ask a full node for the chain so that it can pluck out the relevant transactions to rebuild your local wallet state. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Thin_Client_Security It knows which

For me, it's: 1. Pick the simplest, most trivial concept at the core of your project and implement the minimal toy version of it in a REPL. 2. Now implement the next simplest thing that moves the needle of progress. 3. Repeat. I starte

Don't punish users. The goal here shouldn't be to silently redirect or deceive them with fake data or throw up goatse. Instead, make it annoyingly clear to anyone that visits 4co.in that the content is stolen. 4co.in users aren&#x

For a website like a forum, you could go ahead and display the "New Post" textarea to guests and then prompt them for registration on submit.

I hear this sentiment a lot, and I at least understand the sort of purity of deleting code instead of commenting it out, but that's the only value it seems to bring whenever I try it. Scrubbing back into history (or remembering that th

The absence of Clojure is what reminded me of the bubble I live in. Or should I say the Clojure Cave.

I'm 25 and live precariously off of the meager income from my own projects. My goal is to grow my income so that I can "finally do what I want", but sometimes I wonder if I'm squandering my life in a delusion. Recently,

I was used to Vim as well, but I decided to jump into Emacs and Clojure at the same time. Once I installed Evil-mode (Vim bindings), an Emacs buffer felt so similar to Vim that I was immediately productive. From there, I could just focus on

I've been productive with Clojure and Java-interop for over a year now despite never using Java before. Navigating the Java terrain is comical. Often, performing what I would consider a library's basic use-case involves the collab

The blogpost explains why they didn't use an off-the-shelf framework. (Spoiler: "We wanted control.") That they can generalize their homebrew abstractions into a new framework only shows that they didn't use an off-the-s

I don't know how similar the situation was, but Blip.tv did this to Rich Hickey's Clojure videos a year ago. https://twitter.com/richhickey/status/279210140425674754 > @blip tv cancels the #Cloj

Isn't the challenge of education-planning how to compel students, not how to agree that we need to? Perhaps exposing children to more novelty and creative outlets presents more opportunities to hook their interest.

Also, there's https://github.com/clojure/core.typed . I don't have much experience with static typing outside of basic Java interop, but I gave it a shot on a recent project and it was pretty cool once I got t

I was a full-time Rails developer until a crescendo of disillusionment finally cajoled me to learn Clojure. I don't really know that I miss anything. The things I might've thought I'd miss are the things that ended up souring

Clojure has a simple scratch->toyapp->deploy workflow. It's just that to find it as a newcomer, you either: A. Luck out and find it immediately. B. Get directed to it by someone more experienced. C. Chase a suboptimal solution be

I imagine yogthos was referring to this, but the clump of `)))))` itself is only a symptom of the real problem: that you've got too much nested logic. `)))))` at the end of a function doesn't matter. The function's over. Even

Invitation-only schemes only delay the inevitable, yet make the early members even more insufferably vocal about the gilded days of yore, the comments even more thoroughly interleaved with links to the Eternal September wiki page.

Right now, you and I and our friends could sign our transactions so that nobody can tell which outputs correspond to which inputs. What's missing is that it's not widely distributed in a major client where everyone will partake by

I'd wager that the most manipulative people in social settings are people with the most neediness but least experience, self-esteem, and emotional stability. And those are things most people wrestle with to some degree. Since I imagine
