I've used Om for several projects and have never run into a bug in the framework.

Agreed, and kudos for writing so much, so well, about these new paradigms.

I think the name "transducers" is a little unfortunate only in that it sounds very foreign to most coders, leading the concept to potentially be ignored. Don't let the name "transducers" or the relation to Clojure s

A typical emacs setup includes a keybinding (C-c C-d) to display the docstring for the function under the cursor, as well as the invaluable "M-." to jump right to the function's source definition.

We built tools that allow us to create and distribute applications and information at an incredible pace. The web, and the technologies surrounding it, emerged quickly, with bitter fights (Netscape v. Microsoft) and competing standards. Now

The interface seems unnecessarily confusing and unintuitive, though the ideas are worthwhile.

I once heard that they don't store that info, though I would love to be proven wrong.

I like to think most people would change their tone if they were talking to the creators face-to-face.

I agree that it should have come up in the discussion; I think that even if it did, it is a reasonable decision to think that his appointment as a whole would be worth the risk. That's really what this was -- a calculated risk, just li

It's unreasonable to expect the Mozilla Board to have the foresight of the community's reaction. There was no large sect upset by Brendan's appointment on political grounds. There were a few squeaky wheels, a few silent ones,

I'm saying two things: - A 4K monitor has less DPI than a "retina" monitor, so you still see the pixels, thus it's not like someone took a 27" cinema display and doubled the pixels. - Two 27" displays feel &#x2

Looks like it'll still be fairly expensive (~$4K+) if the exchange rate conversion is to be believed[1]. FWIW, I have an ASUS 4K monitor I purchased recently, and it feels like a world apart. It's not quite retina, but the extra r

PSA: The best way to delimit URLs is to enclose them with angle brackets (< and >) as per < http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt >. However, like many flaws with HN's underdeveloped software, you can&#x

Cool, has anyone made something similar for Clojure?

All snark aside, I wonder what the rationale was for doing this. It'd be a shame to load a website in a browser 20 years from now, only to see the site render incorrectly due to no-longer-implemented tags. Next, <center>? It&#x27

It's ambiguous the other way: (defn some-string [] "is this a docstring or a return value?")

I don't think so: "how will that impact X" vs "how will that affect X"

It's unfortunate that the sites and links that stay up are the outliers we remember, rather than the norm.

Next, someone should put that in LaTeX to automatically fix it rather than just detect it. (Or some sort of HTML/JS plugin, since using LaTeX again is somewhat disconnected from my immediate life goals).

That command runs drip only for that particular invocation of the command. You can put the following: export JAVA_CMD=drip into your ~/.profile (etc) file to have it affect all future Java launches from leiningen.
