At a previous job I streamed Clojure over a trusted wire and executed it remotely in some circumstances. We weren't using Spec (Prismatic Schema at the time), but it worked pretty well and we even validated our schemas in javascript vi

It seems pretty easy to fix this for Apple by relying on video to prove whether employees are in store/breakroom by default and allowing overrides for special circumstances. This might result in Apple paying a few minutes more here and

It took me around 6 months to find out that while we meet the enterprise criteria, our use case wasn't what they envisioned for the enterprise program. As such, they suggested we reapply for a normal dev account and overlook their publ

Bazel utilizes the cores near linearly. It even makes use of remote cores in an efficient manner for compiling c++. 128 thread and 256 thread machines are great if you also have enough ddr4 to let each gcc/clang do their thing.

Never. This is why we write small functions that, as much as possible, depend only on their inputs and avoid mutation. Code becomes simple to reason about. You don't need to worry when composing these small pieces like you do when pass

I use CentOS because it is Fedora with a slightly slower upgrade cycle. I've been using Fedora since it was called Red Hat Linux and I paid for a boxed set of CDs. Stability is nice.

I literally wrote code in .clj files and then my editor can slurp that up and barf it into a repl. There was never a point where I was writing something that "only existed in the repl" such that I couldn't just put it in a un

Jane Street has some blog posts talking about why they chose OCaml. I'm very torn on this. I've used Rust to quickly prototype things that I think could be used I prod. It's fine. In some places it is better than what we had

That's not true. Source: I work at an HFT. Rust is very interesting for Greenfield work. The major down side is millions of lines of legacy C++, the more useful already using C++17 or C++2a, which typically provides a lot of what you&#

Yes, we leveraged Clojure a lot. PostgreSQL has far more advanced indexing and querying capabilities, particularly around too big to fit into RAM data, than what I'd want to waste time on building myself (if my team could even do it).

This is not hard to write if you care about it (dispatching on data in addition to dispatching on type). Clojure-style multimethods with python-style type dispatch or data result dispatch can be had for under 150 lines. It's not partic

What is an expression tree? I've done this with arrays of structs in C as well as nested dictionaries in python, and sexps in both lisp and python. I could do it trivially in x86 if needed. Maybe sexps are "expression trees",
