To me, his comments on transducers & types sounded more like: I don't care to write a type signature for this, and good luck to you if you do.

every morning I say, "Alexa, news" and that's pretty much it. Occasionally I ask for the weather (for which I still have to specify the city, because Alexa doesn't understand "Set my home [location] to [current cit

True, but it's more b/c his criticism of VC and PG specifically has a Captain Ahab level of intensity and persistence, which can get in the way of discussing, well, anything else.

I thought that was more about maximizing your hits, given that you have found some creative geniuses at specific parts of the process, like Ester Dean, Max Martin, etc.

Ken's blog is a consistently refreshing and insightful read. I had the pleasure to meet him last fall and his enthusiasm for and perspective on the future of how we experience art (and everything else, really) is energizing.

Curious about OP's assertion on this as well. Only one I ever got was from a company widely regarded as one of the best to work for in Atlanta (I ended up not taking their offer so I can't say). Unrelated to that -- one of my per

I work on something similar and from my perspective, the swapping for similar things is the fun part of the problem, and the figuring out what is available is the nasty part, given retailers' diverse and frequently bad ways of revealin

Maybe I've got too many layers enabled but I just had that feeling of relief because Spacemacs was just too slow.

I guess you can hold out for contacts or an eyeglasses form-factor, but I can't really wrap my head around a technology enthusiast thinking "I'd love for my sensory perception of reality to transcend the physical world, but I

I guess this got downvoted due to brevity, but I would guess this is contributing, along with Wordpress themes. Not on the level of e.g. Squarespace, but definitely a factor. For a while every site I looked at having to do with bitcoin loo

Thanks. One thing that looks promising for migrations is the language/ORM-independent tool Switch.

When I reflect on the ease of use question, I realize most of my frustrations with the Clojure REPL have actually been with trying to use it within an editor (Vim, Emacs, and Atom so far). And particularly with getting a ClojureScript REPL

I think most are related to easiness, and so not recognized as an advantage by many Clojure acolytes (see: Rich Hickey's Simple Made Easy talk). Others are a consequence of shared state; also not recognized as a positive in Clojurelan

From the last Clojure/conj (conference), it definitely seems that Clojure is at, or even past, an inflection point. I doubt any companies (that are themselves, aside from tech stack, appealing to work for) are having trouble at least g

It's pretty different. It's not flux or flux-like. And almost every Redux example or tutorial does use ES6 or more. As far as the platform, I had an easier time learning ClojureScript and Leiningen than Gulp/Webpack/Ba

Seems like that's as much (or more! esp. with docs) as you can expect from an open source maintainer. For something to take off, the community has to step up. I get the concern, though. There's a phase where (if you're an ea

Seems like it would save money in the interim though, and they'd still have the data of whether it fell or not.

Yeah -- I'd be willing to bet that "How To Win Friends and Influence People" is the most mentioned book here; maybe people just don't link to it.

All of this rings true from what I've heard my dad, a GP, complain about for years. It's hard for him to watch other doctors game the system to increase their earnings -- not only seeing more patients with unaccountably short ses

Replacing judgment with algorithms has always been part of bureaucracy. Once encoded as programs, though, they have a chance -- however unlikely, and still not without flaws -- of being audited either by the public or at least by independen

Hard to answer that with concrete numbers but Om Next handles optimistic and non-optimistic updates quite elegantly. Roughly speaking: each query expression is parsed twice, once locally and once in remote mode, and as long as your backend

Reagent is very nice and by itself very easy to get started with. That said, I think Om Next is more comparable to Re-frame ( https://github.com/Day8/re-frame ) as far as being more opinionated about handling data flow.

Mine would be the same as yours except that I live in Manhattan and often walk around Midtown / Union Square where there are tons of clothing retailers.

I walked into their store in Manhattan (unaware it was this model) because I'd heard of them, and knew from their ads that their pitch is about how great the fit is. The salesperson was busy with a customer who was confused (and a bit
