Link to lecture? The only video I can find is https://youtu.be/h5gnATQMtPg It’s strange how much meta-content has been written about how wrong Weinstein is, but none of the publications articulate his position or refute it.

I wrote Snake in 100 lines of ClojureScript for a talk at UCT a few years ago and used that shape of data structure: http://theronic.github.io/cljs-snake/ For anything more complex, I immediately reach for DataScript a

Yeah, I used to say CTO = main janitor of tech. Software mechanic says: I don't mind getting my hands dirty while doing intricate work (computers, who understands 'em?). Janitorial work seems to be regarded as lowly drudge work, e

Low signal-to-noise posts about Clojure are damaging to adoption because it doesn't say anything about why Clojure is a good option on the JVM. Instead, I will try to give some reasons why Clojure is a good fit for high-performance str

I type 85-95wpm (peaking around 130wpm) in Colemak on a Kinesis Advantage I with cherry brown keys. I documented my switch to Colemak five years ago (February 2013) and am still on it: - [7 weeks of colemak](http://petrusthero

Yes, Datomic is the killer app for Clojure [^1]. Have a look at Datascript[^2] and Mozilla's Mentat[^3], which is basically an embedded Datomic in Rust. Hickey's Spec-ulation keynote is probably his most controversial talk, but it

You will enjoy the fact-based database Datomic, which is the reason Rich Hickey made Clojure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cym4TZwTCNU Datalog is a much, much, much query language better than SQL: http://www.l

Drugs like pot and alcohol seem to lower our standard for happiness. Sitting alone on the couch at home with no friends, you may not feel so great; drink a bottle of wine, or smoke a fat blunt and suddenly that couch feels pretty comfortabl

This cleverly one-ups http://bropages.org/ by leveraging an existing command in the environment you are most likely to type "bro curl", but you don't need to install a tool first.

Hi Dustin. No, those function/method calls are equivalent. My central point is that it is not reasonable to expect the consumer of a value to recover from a failure mode that was generated at the producer. Rather, it is better to handl

Nil-checking is a form of input validation. Validation features often leak into helper functions lower down which don't have the context or control to solve the source of a problem, where they don't belong. Separation of concerns

As a masochist who has been willing to put up with the ecosystem pain of Clojure & ClojureScript for the love of the language, I can corroborate that it was a PITA to try ReasonML. By the time I was done installing ReasonML to my machin

The naive name for this product bundling would be Google Bundle, GBundle, but that would rub regulators the wrong way. The first rule of UX and branding is: don't make me think. Using a digit in a brand name is a question mark, just li
