It's nonsense, for Japan certainly, if not also wrt the English (which I don't know enough about to comment on, but I'm skeptical). When Japanese people are purchasing foreign products at least, they are responding to the sam

The Tony Hoare quote is about null _references_ which is about aliases to computer memory. (E.g. the dreaded NPE or null pointer exception.) He's not talking about _logical_ nulls such as "tri-state booleans" or "missin

I'm having trouble finding much value in this post. It seems to be a combination of the author picking apart very specific aspects of Clojure (clojure.set? clojure.test fixtures?) in a highly opinionated fashion to represent issues wi

by ddellacosta 11y ago
Pretty good list that I mostly agree with. I think the only point of contention I may have is with using timbre--having tried it in the past, I found it didn't do much that clojure.tools.logging couldn't do for most use-cases, an
