Outside Google, ClojureScript (with a "j") used to depend on the Closure compiler (with an "s") - partly because the library that came with the compiler provided a Java-like API which was convenient as the Clojure langua

I find it frustrating that web development moved away from encouraging developers to use a collection of consistent visual styles and basic components (like Bootstrap offered - and even Bootstrap itself is moving towards being a collection

The majority of the content and comments on HN tell about the benefits of remaining an IC and not moving into management. Why do people need to convince each other _not_ to move into management by content like this? To get a balanced view -

By who's authority should the word "who's" be spelled "whose" and not "who's"? In all seriousness, it's interesting to see how the live language is diverging from the rules. The dual ending

You probably meant 𐤁𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤉𐤕. Side note: to a Jew, this obsession of Christians over Hebrew and Biblical things feels rather... creepy - although I can't quite rationalise it.

The argument that US companies have a larger addressable market is valid, but it doesn’t seem particularly convincing. Israel’s domestic market is tiny, and most Israeli start-ups go global from day 1. Probably partly because of that, Israe

Why is Facebook singled out vs. all social media? I feel worse after half an hour spent reading Twitter, Reddit or even Hacker News than after half an hour spent on Facebook or Instagram. The amount of hate I see on the first three platform

The principles listed in the article look like general common-sense design principles. I can hardly imagine anyone designing a system without understanding the problem domain first - and likewise, the problem domain usually drives the under

As someone from outside the EU, I had to go through the bureaucratic hassle described in the article to get into the UK. After Brexit, the visa requirements were somewhat relaxed in comparison to what they had been for non-EU citizens. For

Basically it would be ideal to have a query builder that is easily integrated with shells and notebooks (so that it can be used outside the context of writing programs in a specific languages) and that is accepted across the community.

SQL and the relational model mostly works well and it's probably not practical to redo the enormous amount of work that was invested in SQL and its implementations and extensions. As someone who frequently used SQL for analytics and le

My experience in Go in production is limited to ~150 lines of code I wrote to contribute a small feature for one Terraform provider. The provider in question is a very thin wrapper over an API library. The feature I added contained almost n

The birth of our child was the greatest contributor to both happiness and stress for my wife and myself. Everything else that happened last year is inconsequential in comparison to that.

If I understand correctly, by "well-adjusted" you mean "a person who has no evident quirks" (like being a Tolkien fan to the extent of naming your practice Lorien, or blogging extensively in a way that can be perceived a

GraphQL specifies schema and documentation, and implementations usually come with introspection tools, which is not the case for REST. It would be more fair to compare GraphQL to something like Swagger. That said, GraphQL libraries and tool

Telegram is fine for a single-user setup or for a small team. If you need better multi-user and multi-channel support, you can use Slack. Both have an easy to use bot API and both support adding action buttons to messages that you can conne

I wonder what makes people launch new products using non-metric units in 2020. Oil trading has a tradition of using barrels, but crop areas are measured in hectares and water volumes in cubic metres in most parts of the world.

Not sure if that's relevant - but were you aware that you can pass GraphQL inputs as plain JSON in variables? In the vast majority of cases, you don't need to build mutation inputs (or anything else, really) in GraphQL syntax. Pyt

This has been discussed in the responses to the tweets, but still couldn't find a definitive answer - why Basic? I started with Basic too when I was a kid, but if I were to teach my child programming now in 2020, I would choose Python

Just in case - Luminus has options for adding re-frame and kee-frame (an add-on which adds a lot of convenience stuff to re-frame) to a new project.
