Lovely! Here's a Clojure version of the same that I write: https://git.calmabiding.me/scstarkey/dicegen

When you say "readable," do you mean to OO programmers? Functional programmers? All programmers? For example, as a 5-year Clojure convert who wrote Java for 15 years before that, old-fashioned loops are less readable now, as they

Where is this mystical coffee shop? I live in Chicago and would appreciate the tip. :-)

Thanks for being one of the few voices of humanity in this exchange. This whole situation just feels.. icky.. to me. I wish I knew what long term effects Rich's statement will have on the community, but I can't help but think that

Dang.. my sleep center is way behind. Had a take-home sleep study last week and I had to have the chest strap and finger sensor. Pain in the butt, but worth the data it captured. Going on APAP after trying for 6 years to work with an oral a

Correct me if I'm off-base, anyone, but it appears to me that the point of the original post is to express that, if you run an open source project, and you want to take advantage of people's hard-won experience and energy to the b

How do you find the branch associated with a specific point in time? Didn't see that in the docs. Also, are there guarantees that no two branches can be created at the exact same point in time? Thanks for the excellent work! I can actu

In case you're curious, one of the Clojure libraries I found while researching TOML seems to have an ABNF grammar. It sits at the top of this file: https://github.com/lantiga/clj-toml/blob/0.4.0-instapars

Dang. I just switched from KeepassX from Enpass, and this article doesn't mention anything about them. Have to say the experience in Enpass is far superior to KeepassX, but I get that security is quite important! If I had data that Enp

I absolutely love Enpass. Cost me a fixed $10 for all my iOS devices. I host my database on my local WebDAV (but there are many other options).

For folks who are confused, an interesting and useful article on why Scheme could be considered a Lisp, why it might not, and why it doesn't really matter. http://wiki.c2.com/?IsSchemeLisp

There is a difference, I think, between healthy and unhealthy conflict. This team was clearly averse to both. It was likely an awful team. My advice to anyone in a similar situation: work on the classes of behavior that are actually problem

To add to the confusion, this Wikipedia article says that Scheme is "one of the two main dialects of Lisp." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_(programming_language)

If people aren't getting value from a meeting, they should stop doing it. Or reflect on why they were doing it in the first place. Talk about it at retrospective! Or sooner! You do have those, right? :-) I once quit a job and when my b

A poignant point -- though I would replace skillset with talent (Gallup's definition: "naturally recurring patterns of thought, feeling, or behavior that can be productively applied"). See: http://strengths.gallup.

Brilliant!

I don't think the author wants programmers to "do" anything. Instead, they want managers to allow programmers to bring their whole selves to their jobs. That means not blockading their ideas from being implemented, regardles

Absolutely! And I've seen companies with reward structures that focus on individual performance cause a lot of these unhealthy teams to arise unwittingly.

This is an unfortunate experience. The best environments I've seen have a core value of respect for others, and code reviews exist to benefit not just the customer but also future programmers (which also ultimately benefits the custome

I'd say 40% of the time of my career I've been in a place where my ideas were valued and I felt like "part of the team" as a programmer, and later as a programmer/manager. Those places I stayed the longest. They mak

I have recently begun a campaign to unfollow everyone on my Facebook feed to reclaim my attention. Removing the addiction to seeing what I've missed in my news feed has given me back an hour a day. Haven't used it to buy and sell

That's not quite what mindfulness does in the long run. It actually reduces gray matter density in the amygdala, which is associated with immediate stress response. These changes are permanent. Therefore, it not only helps you "ha

Thank you for offering this middle way. I am doing this now.

Yikes! As an Agile Coach, I'm sad to hear this. Though I can imagine where the perception comes from. Weaponized Agile is a real problem, one that I combat actively, but it's quite hard to convince leaders that self-management is

I much prefer pair programming because: 1) I am sharing a thought process in-the-moment, and bringing my unique thoughts. This drives out a lot of the biases that engage when reviewing someone else's thinking after-the-fact. 2) Conver

You might have dropped the word "cold" and been a bit more inclusive.

I found it ironic that the "Delete your account" post had a Facebook feed underneath it.

At least it includes Clojure, which is technically a Lisp...
