Excellent point - reminds me of a quote about Prolog that stating problems in a solvable form is as hard as solving the problem. Creating a graphical environment can't sidestep the difficulty in rigorously defining a problem or figurin

I think it depends on how you feel when doing extracurricular work - if you're energized and excited, awesome. If you eventually find yourself drained and/or beating yourself up, take it easy on yourself and rest up.

Don't we already have reddit to commiserate about injustice? Honest question - just not sure why this is a good fit for hacker news.

Thanks for making this! It seems like I can't skip ahead to further chapters and start working through it there - for instance if I start here: http://xuanji.appspot.com/isicp/3-0-modularity-objects-and-s... and c

Perfect intro to core.async in a web app - just enough of an example (jsonp within a click handler would require a nested callback). It would be nice to update the tutorial with a final instruction on compiling with advanced mode so people

One thing I love about knockout is how focused it is at doing one thing really well without forcing a full blown single page application. It makes it easier to sprinkle in the data-bound rich interactive UI to the pieces of your page that n

Love the quote, "Phrasing problems in solvable terms is more effort than solving them." as to why Prolog didn't take off. I'm surprised, however, given the talk about ASTs, that the article mentions nothing about LISPS a

To offset the negative top comments - I actually really like Pogue - his posts in the nytimes tech at least. He seems to understand the products he's using well enough to do a good job without getting so geeky or over concerned about m

Seems like this is more of an autocomplete for git commands than what I was hoping for - for instance in Jetbrains IDEs (pycharm, rubymine, intellij) the killer feature IMO is the ability to see inline highlights of diffs when I have work i

Yeah good point, impossible to forget what it's like not to know something. I also haven't done systems programming in a long time - so it would really be more fair to have someone comment who is considering a language under highe

Great points in this article - though using something like cascalog makes hadoop suck a lot less - e.g composable more complex queries closer in power to sql. Wouldn't be quite as crazy to use on smaller datasets be it just for fun or

pretty cool - I've used something similar for python JSON validation: https://code.google.com/p/jsonvalidator/ but love the idea of something for validating nested data structures as well.

Can't you expose the internal methods individually via the module for testing purposes without making them vulnerable to manipulation as they are used by the public methods? Just tried this in the developer console: //

Yeah, I think it's just unfamiliarity with this approach + deep familiarity with the callback approach, and I'm merely reporting my experience and not making a judgement on the approach in general. Sometimes when I see a callback

Thanks - I like those analogies. I want to invest some time to see if the unlearning works for me. Most times when converting to a higher level way of doing something it eventually does. Also - thanks for all the awesome core.async gists -

Two first impressions: - whoa, this is cool! - this is harder to read than the callback approach right now Makes me want to dig deeper, fully grok and reevaluate whether or not I'd really prefer this approach to callbacks.
