Although I agree that LightTable is a more polished clojure IDE, it doesn't do the one thing that ganarajpr mentioned: create lein projects for you through the UI. Even though lein is easy to use, integration like this lowers the barri

What do you mean by "stir the pot"? The purpose of this site seems to be data-driven analysis of reddit. If the conclusions being drawn aren't rooted in that data, I don't see the point.

I'm going through "ClojureScript Up and Running" right now, and I'd also recommend it. However, for folks who just want to give cljs a try, lein-cljsbuild does make it pretty easy at this point. Once you have lein and th

I would argue that s-expressions are powerful for reasons other than macros, but I agree that the prefix notation and boatloads of parentheses can initially require a lot of extra effort for no apparent payoff. When I began writing clojure

For me, it isn't the price tag that is a problem. It is the lack of information about something that has a price tag. I would personally be interested in a product like this, and I have paid $200+ for development software before, but t

I agree with this completely. I use emacs for clojure and I really like it, but learning a new language and a new editor at the same time is going to make things harder. There are clojure plugins for most popular editors at this point. Lear

This post reminded me of something I read on HN last year: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3124-give-it-five-minutes My favorite line from it: "There’s also a difference between asking questions and pushing back. Pushing back means you alr

It costs $ but I really liked this pragprog book: http://pragprog.com/book/bhtmux/tmux Really good introduction, and the included config file is a good start.

I like ranger, and have used it for a few years, but I don't understand why it would be considered a clone of Finder. They are both file managers, that is about all they have in common.

This looks great, thanks!

I have been going through the O'Reilly book for clojure: http://www.clojurebook.com/ I like it so far because it relates many new functional programming concepts back to ideas from other languages. In the early portions of the book it fre

education discounts can be applied in store, as well as the other education offers they occasionally do, like the free iPod touch during the back to school season.

In the case of the Apple store, these kinds of sales are the last thing a salesperson wants. Apple salespeople are not paid on commission, and since the guy was told exactly what the students were buying and that they already had the money

I agree that this is odd, and I think it is the reason this thing was a problem in the first place. It was decided months ago that she would speak at this conference, according to Violet Blue's blog post. They are both aware of the focus of

I thought it was a good idea to include the disclaimer. As obvious as it might seem that these are opinionated modifications to the site's intended style, it may save some grief to make your awareness of the issue clear.

No docs aside from some cryptic nonsense in the readme, why is so much stuff like this hitting the frontpage on HN lately?

I don't understand how something like copying and pasting could be obviated from a text editor. There are a million reasons you might need this functionality, and they don't all have to deal with poorly structured code.

I agree. I think that the appstorification of computing is driven by the idea that the internet (and software from it) is dangerous, and that the app store (iOS,Android,etc.) is safe. Its like most of the adult world just got their first ga

unrelated to the game itself: Why does "screenshots" link to a zip file with 5 reasonably small png files in it? I mean, sure it works, but that is weak.

while it might eventually have some value, the effort itself is noteworthy, even if it is just a proof of concept.
