We use Clojure extensively at Room Key. Our main web API, various scheduled cron-like jobs, and AWS Lambda functions are all written in Clojure.

Yes, significantly upping the ulimit would have probably been sufficient for all practical purposes, although we might run out of JVM heap space if we are up long enough. Plus, it really bothered me that I didn't know what was going on

There were only two threads stuck, so monitoring the threads wouldn't have set off any alarms. One was a Clojure agent thread, which basically allowed all the clients marked for retirement to queue up. I used both Yourkit and Java Miss

This course is great: https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning It's all done in GNU Octave, which is mostly compatible with MATLAB.

You actually have to buy an add-on called WPAR Manager[1] to enable live mobility; it's not available in baseline AIX. They have been shipping this tech for several years now. Disclaimer: I was on the WPAR Manager dev team for several

Damn, this is sad. I'll echo the other comments here that he was a nice guy. I was an undergrad at Duke circa 1999-2000 and knew him through the Duke LUG. I was a noob, and he always showed a fair amount of patience with my questions o

Very well stated. A few months ago I wrote a post on my company's blog pushing Clojure, and the ideas just seemed to flow. Now I'm getting around to writing a specific post on ClojureScript, and even though I love writing cljs cod

Try to carve out a few hours during your real job to work on it. Build a little momentum, and then when you get home you'll be more inclined to reach for the laptop instead of the remote.

Nice writeup, but I would think watching Chelsea win the Champions League is the exact opposite of "an emotionally traumatic experience".

I know OSX does a lot of things right, but focus follows mouse and copy-on-select/paste-on-middle-click are two things that I can't live without.

I've been using Clojurescript with a Noir backend to build an internal tool for work, and I thought I'd share my experience so far. Some background: I'm a Java guy by trade, this is my first FP language, and I'm not that well-versed in Java

I've spent the past few days trying to implement a little utility app in Clojure/Clojurescript for work, and here's some of my initial impressions. I've been going back and forth between the approach explained in this article and the Clojur

Yep, I think I misread his comment, which was probably a misread of my original post, which I'll admit wasn't stated very clearly.

Oops, meant to say "adding a setter violates immutability"

by pigs 15y ago
The crux of the argument (and most of the book for that matter) is that you want to avoid mutability whenever possible. Adding setters for every field by default means mutability is the default mode for your application. Adding getters for

"In Java, it's considered best to just go ahead and add the getters and setters first" I don't think this is true. I'll concede that it may be a requirement for certain things like an ORM API, but in the general case, it's bad practice. The
