This is awful reporting. Aspartame has been studied for more than 40 years and no regulatory body in any country has found it to be cancerogenic; it is a risky substance for people with a rare desease called Phenylketonuria. So, the reader

That is a read replica, datomic peers can do writes as well, which further expands the possible use cases.

Consider this use case - in addition to your web app, you have a reporting service that makes heavy duty reports; if you run one at a bad time, bad things might happen like users not being able to log in or do any other important work, beca

These companies are not doing any lobbying though, they are helping with the huge amount of paperwork and compliance work that needs to be done.

With Clojure I like using uberjars + systemd .service files instead of setting up Docker

I love there is a rationale, more projects should have one. What problem is the project designed to solve?

It's survivor bias, and a great point to make when people say old construction is better. Really bad construction simply doesn't survive long enough to be considered old

One example is Rich Hickey who wrote Clojure, then his team wrote the Datomic database (on-prem and SaaS) in it.

So why would Clojure or Erlang or Elixir fail to satisfy the need for a functional language capable of taking advantage of the available cores?

Is there a friendly and active chat community for Emacs? There are so many topics where asking for tips and opinions is valuable and doesn't fit well wikis or Q&A formats.

I'm going to suggest Clojure. It is a very opinionated language made a person who was about to quit professional programming because of an explosion of complexity (both accidental and incidental). Check out the talks by Rich Hickey to

There isn't a standard, each cloud tries to lock in engineers to it, so they don't compete on price. Any abstraction that is build on top of the different APIs will leak as the implementations are not exactly the same. That is why

The collapse of the USSR wasn't caused by economics or arms races - see how regimes like Cuba, North Korea still survive. Low oil prices helped, but it could have happened during a boom, too. The 80s were not the worst economic or huma

It is what got me into writing code. I've tried low-level imperative programming in C which wasn't for me, I never seemed to find object oriented programming intuitive. What was my frame for reference was piping input and output i

It is not a good idea to have several tools managing the same resources, I don't and for relying on the state file hasn't caused me any issues.

The example you gave is of a wrong way to write Terraform; you should be able to query the cloud API using using data sources. In your case (getting a VNet) that would be this: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/ha

I was a technically a loan shark at school, in my early teens. So I had a fairly small allowance which I mostly saved. Other kids were spending their afternoons at the malls shopping, buying cigarettes and eating fast food. So the richer ki

I assumed employees that are generally high-skilled. So pretty much all of them don't apply if that isn't the case. Technical Experts-managers are unnecessary where the work is menial, very physical or low-skilled. Or simply best

I spent some time as a middle manager, talked way too much with friends in similar situations at other places and I learned the following: * It is very easy to be both very busy and do nothing useful at all. Just accept and schedule a bunch

I've worked in place where the majority of projects and the majority of code went in to maintenance. There could be several months or even a year or two of intensive development, with teams reaching a dozen or more developers + QA, DBA

Nothing beats a domain + website, then you can link all kinds of accounts there.

For smaller homes switching from convection to infrared heating helps a lot, heating the surfaces instead of the air, means that letting the air mix by opening a window is less of a problem.

I think the solution is to hire both, because there is also the Peter principle: "promoted to incompetence". The professional managers should be in a deputy position to the promoted ICs. This way they can bring their skills and ex

Have you tried work that comes to you? Like clearing a queue of tickets in technical support or even accepting calls? You basically have to show up to work and you are micromanaged by the queuing software. Sounds horrible, but it leads to c

I looked through the linked claim that Wikipedia is biased and it seems like the bias is not putting a particular political agenda front and center. In the example is the Wikipedia article not talking about highly dubious Fox news "sca

The author does mention debuggers. But you don't normally run a debugger on production or a testing environment and with a REPL you can. A debugger situates a program differently than it is normally used, a REPL connects to your code&#

The post by David Vujic actually mentioned the significant difference - REPL-driven in the way Clojure programmers understand it is not simply interpreting snippets of code in a separate process, but interacting with a running program, incl

Hmm I can't seem to find any Bulgarian sources citing any religious controversy around the statues, BNT vaguely mentioning that the statues "met the disapproval of some of the locals". I doubt a whole town will ever agree on
