   That's true, I think a lot more can be done for the WFH perspective. If companies offered all employees a good home setup, good desk, chair, screen, keyboard, mouse, headphones, good mic, good webcam, a good whiteboarding solution as w

   Hum, I don't know much about statistics, so I'm not totally following, but this got me interested to read more about this "tails of our curve". I feel common metrics applied to software systems arn't very elaborate.

   I know that this is how the common thinking goes, but this is also the same thinking that those "big bad corporations" use, and that the "big bad government" uses, etc. My point is that we're no better. Do we stop a

   I think engineers are partially to blame for these type of situations. I can just imagine the internal scenario, the rep escalated, there's some support ticket sitting on some engineering teams backlog somewhere. Rep can't do anyt

   Profitec Pro 500 espresso machine. Eureka Mignon Specialita grinder. I'd highly recommend both, they each exceeded my expectations.

   I love coffee, brings me joy every morning. Feel it's worth it for me. That said, I drink specialty coffee only, have my own espresso machine, use only high quality freshly roasted beans, etc. I also don't drink more than 2 cups a

   One thing I did wish Amazon did was to have more localized options. Be able to restrict search to products or sellers from a particular area would be nice. Same for comments and reviews.

   From the creator of Elixir (Jose Valim) himself: > I’ve learned a lot also from Clojure because, at the time I was thinking about Elixir, Clojure was already around. I like to say it’s one of the top three influences in Elixir [...] >

    Bundle sizes have never been an issue for me. You're not really supposed to use ClojureScript for trivial JavaScript. So for anything non-trivial, bundle size of ClojureScript and pure JavaScript start to even out. Backend is Clojure o

    Visual Studio? First time I hear someone using that for Clojure/Script. Do you mean VSCode or the full on Visual Studio?

    You'll actually find it pretty easy to learn both. Elixir was very inspired by Clojure, so it works similar to it in a lot of ways. It is like taking Clojure and removing the Lispy aspect from it (which to me is the biggest downside of

    Clojure/Script is more geared towards experienced developers who want the power to do whatever they want, in a conscise, expressive and customized way. They value flexibility, and immediacy, and like to know all the ins/out of the

    It's not OO per say, but it is an imperative concept, OO is almost always imperative.

    I agree with you, but I also want to say it's often more complicated then this. Like, the Apple Watch example seems easy, but what happened to FitBit? FitBit went all in on your idea. Picked a single use case with a market, delivered o

    I'm with you, I just thought prior commenter was making a claim that Julia couldn't have been designed with a Lisp syntax, so I thought pointing out that it can already support representing all of its code as an s-expression kind

    I'm curious what would currently be the statistic for the level of death I cause as a consequence of choosing to socialize? Surely we should have some idea by now? I just think it be an interesting metric, if I decide to go get a hair

    I'm not sure I understand the issue your are pointing out? Julia calls itself homoiconic, it uses Expr to model its AST and the parser returns it. There's even a show_expr method that prints it as an S-expression. It just goes thr

    Haven't looked at them in a while, but already that difference there is my second listed point above. So it's no small difference. I'd also like to flip the question around: Why do these other languages bother with complicate

    Hum, I see. Yes, the maintainers of ClojureScript believe the bundle sizes would be too big if you always had to include the compiler with the APP. (also because the Google Closure compiler JS implementation is not as full featured as the J

    I do think Common Lisp is fun and different form Clojure, and it's cool to see it in the browser as well, and I totally support that effort. But, with regards to your description of inhabiting the browser, what would differ with JACL s

    So, a JavaScript assisted Common Lisp that has no demo that I can run in the browser? Or am I missing the link? It looks very interesting otherwise.

    Ya, OP is underestimating Lisp macros, the biggest of which is that Lisps tend to bundle their compilers within their runtime, so macros can actually expand at runtime, since compilation happens at runtime. The other of which is that they a

    > Should I start with Common Lisp, or some popular dialect (Clojure?) Clojure is not a dialect of Common Lisp. That would be like saying that C#, Go, Kotlin or Scala are dialects of Java. They are both Lisps, but neither is a dialect of

    I think this can be the curse of popularity. The demand from more and more users of different feature, especially backed by industries who rely on the language, means that slowly over time, all popular languages accumulate scope and feature

    Even better than NX is ThinLinc, much more reliable, faster connections and handle dynamic resolution resizing.
