I've never used Fireplace, so I can't speak to the comparison. But CIDER (the Emacs Clojure IDE) is an utter joy to use - I can't recommend it enough. If you do try it out, I would be interested to hear how it compares to Fir

I've been using Emacs' lsp-mode ( https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode ) for professional Python development for months now and it's been a great experience. It requires a little more work than I'd l

Or you can just use CIDER in Emacs and have a fully-featured Clojure IDE that works out of the box ;)

Whoa, cool! What sort of work did you do during your internship? Pixar is definitely in my top-5 list of companies I would love to work for.

...do you? Unless the attacker has access to the private key associated with the SSL certificate, they can't read any HTTPS traffic encrypted via that certificate - mitigating the ability of that bad actor to perform a MITM attack.

Non-technical users just want Squarespace! Or hosted WordPress or any other CMS where they don't need to worry about whether the site is static or dynamic. They don't care about the technical details, and they barely about perform

This smells like a PR piece. No real content and the interviewer only asked 4 questions. No discussion of what the semantic web actually _is_ or how it works to make data interoperable. I kept waiting for the good part...

If you are using a Lisp-family language (any language with S-expressions, really), then Paredit for Emacs solves this nicely: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ParEdit

Whoa! Super cool, and masterfully played. I would love to get some more details on the tech involved though - how was the visualization created? How much of it is added to the video in post-processing and how much is real-time (it seemed li

Are you the Mark C. who organizes the monthly Clojure meetup in Kendall square?

Thanks! My favorite parts of the sample dataset are the Boston area names - since SICP was written and taught at MIT its authors were really familiar with the area, and as a Boston native I particularly appreciate the (still-used) joke name

I love generative art. I've only really dabbled in it myself, but if you want to see what professional-quality generative art looks like check out the work of Tyler Hobbs [0]. He uses the Clojure library Quil [1] to make his pieces, wh

This is so out-of-touch with the modern web. Lots of totally legitimate websites, including major news outlets and Wikipedia, render their web pages on the client using JavaScript. Whether or not this is a good thing is a separate issue (pe

This is absolutely part of the American cultural bedrock. The gap-year road-trip, the teenager's first car, every single fast and furious movie... A really good recent example of this sort of meme is the movie Baby Driver. American cul

This is hands down the best way to play CoQ. And it really speaks a lot to the depth of the game that you can play the whole thing hopping from mind-controlled character to mind-controlled character and the gameplay just adapts...
