   If I'm reading the source correctly, `clojure.xml/parse` consumes the entire XML document. However, its successor `clojure.data.xml/parse` is lazy. The techniques described in the blog post should work with a lazy sequence (l

   This looks really great. On the topic of manipulating data structures in a funky way, see also specter ( https://github.com/nathanmarz/specter ).

   The most important thing when it comes to web server configuration is to have a testing setup you understand and that is fully under you're control. That goes twice for working with mod_rewrite. My recommendation: use only curl -I so c

   I tried out nixos (the complete distro based on nix) on the weekend -- it's not saying too much that it's a revelation. I can see myself completely switching for my development machines and possibly for servers as well. The amazin

   Thanks! I'll try hnwatcher.com for now. I emailed the creators because I didn't get a confirmation email yet, but it looks like what I was looking for.

   Setting up email alerts for Clojure stories sounds useful. Can you describe how you do that? I couldn't find a way to set up alerts, either using hn.algolia.com or using Google Alerts.

    We use Clojure (in production, or almost) at Red Pineapple Media in Berlin, mostly for basic web dev stuff (compojure, http-kit, org.clojure/java.jdbc, cassaforte) and data analysis (Apache Spark, using flambo ( https://githu

    Excuses for the off-topic question, but would you be willing to share your imdb scraper? That would be very useful to me. (My contact data is in my user profile.)

    A "hello world" Java program starts up fast, sure. But Clojure start-up time usually takes more than 1 second; it can be 10 seconds plus if you include many jars. I don't know whether that's more the fault of Clojure or

    That's a potentially very useful project, thanks so much for working on this!

    Haha, that's surprising. Maybe the better presentation makes the examples look more plentiful.

    Fantastic, also has much better examples than clojuredocs.org!

    Thanks for sharing this. It's interesting that you can improve your performance so much by, essentially, getting rid of the automatic class-loader. On the other hand, the autoloader is one of the most important improvements to PHP in t

    As someone with a bit of experience scaling PHP, it seems to me that the main problem with the language is not its raw performance (which seems on a par with its more cousins Python and Ruby) but rather its single-request model . For eve

    This looks like an interesting, simpler alternative to stream-processing solutions like Spark or Storm, which require quite a lot of upfront investment in terms of infrastructure and learning. I'd be interested to know how this works b

    My secret weapon for writing English prose is the "Kenkyusha Dictionary of English Collocations". A collocation dictionary gives you words that commonly go together with another word. In particular, you find the right verb to go w

    I like your key bindings even better! However, I still prefer the "beginning-search" instead of just the "search" function: bindkey '^P' history-beginning-search-backward bindkey '^N' hi

    ^R is useful. But for me, there's something even more useful than searching for a string in your history using ^R: completing the line you're currently typing from your history using Alt-p. This comes in handy when you realize, af

    Not just CON but also con.txt, con.js, etc.! Try cloning a git repository with a file called con.js using msysgit. The result is that, when msysgit tries to clone the file, the contents of the file `con.js` are printed to stdout, i.e. to

    It can be used where ">" does not work, e.g. when using sudo. So you can do echo data | sudo sponge /etc/a.file `tee` can be abused in a similar way, but it also prints the data to stdout, which is ugly.

    Very interesting. If you haven't tried grepping the files in your git repository (as opposed to using regular `grep` or your editor's search function, which doesn't ignore files outside version control), it's surprisingl

    Sadly I agree that the O'Reilly book is of poor quality. Bad editing, sloppy writing style, terrible organization of the chapters. Whatever happened to O'Reilly's standards?
