In a sane language you could just ask the function where it is defined. user=> (meta #'leiningen.gnome/uuid) {:arglists ([project]), :ns #<Namespace leiningen.gnome>, :name uuid, :column 1, :line 10, :file &quot

One of my favorite features on my current laptop is the USB port that is connected directly to the battery, so it charges even when the laptop is not turned on.

Xmonad has a 'Tabbed' layout that does just that. I'm planning a tiling window manager for gnome 3 that takes the idea further, treating switching to a tab and opening a URI with a UI similar to Firefox smartbar.

And yet if you work in an office the Health and Safety advice is to change position frequently and take regular breaks to standup, stretch and walk around. Sitting still for an hour is unpleasant and unhealthy.

I was not 'bashing' scala. I discussed the tradeoff between removing old cruft from the language and breaking old crufty code. I was careful throughout that entire comment to only discuss differences between the languages and comm

I've never even seen AOT compiled code. If it becomes common (maybe in proprietary projects?) then I would argee that its important to maintain binary compatability.

That's the kind of thing I was thinking about. The topology in lamina is described by data whereas in core.async it's described by code. I'll have to experiment more with both and see where the tradeoffs lie.

by jamii 13y ago
I would be interested in seeing a comparison to lamina. I haven't had a chance yet to think about it properly but my first impression is that core.async is strictly more expressive but it couldn't implement something like lamina&#

I didn't find that comparison very useful/accurate (having used clojure heavily for a year or two and scala full-time for the past month). The main differences I find are: When evaluating language tradeoffs the scala community val

There is substantial evidence that the rate of human violence has decreased dramatically over the course of human history. Two of the biggest turning points were the rise of the nation-state and the spread of democracy. Yes, individual poli

I just use emacs-live ( https://github.com/overtone/emacs-live ) with a few tweaks ( https://github.com/jamii/emacs-live-packs ) so most of the work is done by someone else.

I have a lot of hope for Light Table as a modern emacs-like runtime. I look forward to the day when extending my editor doesn't make me sad inside.

The core libraries are very large and there is no standard way of stripping them out. Clojurescript (partially) addresses this by passing the generated js through the google closure compiler. Perhaps a similar pass could be made in the jvm

I think it's this one - http://www.multimat.uk.com/store/products/superlite-compact-... Its pretty easy to get it down to about 25x10x3cm. I travelled with it for three years without any punctures. This is the tent - http://www.backcount

I don't really see the appeal for mattresses. I have a very comfy foam/air mattress just about fits in my pocket and inflates faster than their demo. My tent, on the other hand, has an inflatable beam that takes a good minute to blow up...

Register your own domain and sign up for the free version of google apps. I have a gmail inbox for jamie@scattered-thoughts.net but if I need to change services I just move the MX record and upload my backups elsewhere.

Also, if you run a command that prints a lot to stdout (eg tracing) it will make emacs unhappy. That works much better in the lein repl terminal.

If you use lein repl and emacs crashes, your repl will stay up and you can reconnect to the same session. Yeah, I crash emacs a lot...

I've just moved to London, but I don't expect it to be very easy to find freelance work in ML. There are a limited number of companies who want to just buy an API. While I've done ok going that route so far, I think long-term the way to go
