Stack Overflow does it well: recent posts are shown with relative times (e.g. 7 minutes ago), but beyond a certain point, the date is absolute. E.g. arbitrary question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47019433/e

What about the Supercharger network? Fewer highways make it logistically easier to plan for well-positioned charging stations so they can produce smaller batteries that have to be charged more frequently. And the Semi could always hook on a

I love Light Table and used it all the time for teaching Clojure. Unfortunately the instarepl feature was moved into a separate plugin which increased the barrier to entry for new adopters: https://github.com/LightTable&#x2F

As a Cape Town resident, I can corroborate all of the above. The city has instituted "Level 5B" water restrictions which mean <87L/person/day and no irrigation or washing allowed using municipal water.

`(pst)` prints the last stack trace, which can really help with debugging. I only learned this after two years of Clojure.

The least ambiguous terminology for me has been Martin Fowler's: `occurred_on`, `noticed_on` and additionally `recorded_on`. That way you keep track of when an event occured, when the accountants realized it and when the system recorde

Competitive coding competitions are useful because they force you to exercise some valuable real-world skills: shipping technical solutions on a schedule while prioritising problems of unknown size in order of your own team's abilities

Like the *-prefix, I derived significant readability by prefixing all reference type symbols (like atoms) with !, which goes hand-in-hand with the exclamation mark in `swap!` and `reset!`. For example: (let [!input (atom {:some "

Interesting. Considering language as a lever and a tool for thought, how do you think the position of a language on the analytic/synthetic spectrum affects its suitability for computer interpretation? Are there any major Japanese progr

The socket layer at OS-level is written in C and Erlang probably uses an SSL library written in C. Turtles all the way down!

I still teach in and prototype in Light Table, even though it is losing its "instarepl". Live evaluation visually matched up to an expression removes a lot of the cognitive load. Clojure stack traces are a big mental overhead.

AdBlockers are becoming more mainstream. I suspect shady practices that auto-click ads, which may be impacting their revenue. So even if you wouldn't click the ad, they may be losing out on padded clicks.
