I upgraded my 13.04 system this morning and now it is unfortunately unusable. Any time I try to switch users, it consistently brings me to a black screen with a frozen mouse pointer that I cannot get out of, even when hitting Ctrl+Alt+F#. I

Clojure is a small core of a language that can be flexibly extended with libraries in ways that other languages would require built-in support for. See core.async for another example of this.

Just wanted to alert you that the issue has been fixed and will be pushed out in the next release.

I quit my job two months ago with close to $10k saved up. It's too early to claim success, though. I think location is really relevant. In Pittsburgh, rent is quite cheap, but I'm sure the situation is different elsewhere in the c

I'll make a note of this, thank you.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

I think Light Table is more innovative, while Nightcode has a more "all-in-one" experience, bundling its own copy of Leiningen along with a few of its plugins for ClojureScript and Android development. Additionally, if it matters

I actually wrote the initial release of Nightcode with Vim. I definitely don't expect many seasoned Vim/Emacs users to switch any time soon. I intended Nightcode to be a great "ready-made" way of getting started with Clo

It is using the Clojure seesaw library, which is a wrapper around Swing. The theme is the Graphite skin from the Insubstantial project.

The video has nothing to do with the "dangers of the internet", whatever that means. Moreover, I don't think anyone cares whether you shelter your kids and/or teens from sex (err, sorry, I meant "wait for the approp

Earlier this year, I was working for a small software company whose products were mainly PHP and Perl programs held together with duct tape. Our manager was doing some spring cleaning by removing old programming books from our shelf, shouti

For what it's worth, I am actively improving Nightcode, an IDE written in Clojure that bundles Leiningen. Last night I released 0.0.6. We have a long way to go before it's stable, but more feedback from users is the best way to ge

By providing a true API-compatible JVM implementation, they did the opposite of "foisting" -- they provided a way for you to run any JVM-compatible language you want. That, after all, is why we can run Clojure, Scala, and what-hav

I just released 0.0.2, so those who are having issues with running and building on 0.0.1 may have better luck this time. It also now correctly uses command instead of control for keyboard shortcuts on OS X. As I said before, it is still a v

Yeah I definitely made Nightcode with newbies in mind. Like I said before, it is half-baked and probably too buggy for normal use right now, but eventually I hope it serves as a good entryway for Clojure and Java programming.

I'm the creator of Nightcode, and I agree, which is why I didn't announce it here. It is pretty half-baked and I was hoping to fix some of the more obvious bugs before promoting it more. That being said, I can't really compla

You can't imagine any other motivation for me submitting this beyond trying to organize political change? What about the personal satisfaction that comes from discussing a substantive issue with other intelligent people? These sorts of

I'm not under any illusion that I am going to make any "meaningful change", and I'm not "organizing" anything. I'm a dude writing obscure software on the internet. Acts of principle, by definition, are end

No, my intention is not to make it as easy as possible for someone to legally use my code. I definitely consider it a matter of principle, and I think it's a shame when programmers choose a permissive license instead, purely out of exp

by gw 13y ago
I am specifically addressing people who already intend on using a permissive license. I understand that doesn't include everyone, but I'm intentionally restricting the scope of the subject.

Understood, but not being able to "legally" use my code is not the same thing as not being able to use my code. Public domain is an important enough principle that I don't think we should be ceding so readily, just so we can

Let's not equivocate on the term "restricted". My software is more restricted by your government if it doesn't recognize the public domain, but that is entirely different from (for example) saying that the GPL is more

This piece isn't meant to be an indictment of intellectual property in general (I'll save that for another time). I'm arguing that even those who believe in copyright should agree that it should be optional. The fact that it

What is it that you think I intend to do? I am fully aware that public domain doesn't exist in all jurisdictions; by the looks of it, it may not exist for long in my own legal jurisdiction! Whether it is legally recognized or not is

There are different variations of the idea. Whether or not it is income-based is basically irrelevant. People will still stop working, because the marginal value of employment will plummet.

Well the reliance on exit nodes isn't really what separates Tor from I2P; the latter requires exit nodes for accessing publicly-facing servers as well. Neither requires them for accessing servers that are internal to their network. Thi

So you understand my critique, and then proceed to bring up yet more unrelated subjects, referencing individuals at random who have nothing in common with the one we're discussing. I don't think you really understand my critique.
