Ok, but the site's first suggestion is to use Leiningen to install the koans. It links to a generic Leiningen installation page, but then doesn't tell you how to use it to install the koans. Unless they expect the new user to spend signific

Since this is for new Clojure users I think the install instructions should include how to install the koans with Leiningen. The instructions say to install Leiningen but once you've got that working you won't know how to use it to install

Wow, thanks! I very nearly bought one of those.

Actually I think some (many?) of the answers to the functional sets homework are that trivial in the sense that they're as short (or shorter) the the examples in the parent post. The only longer function was, I think, the one for which they

I find that hard to believe given that Linus Torvalds develops Linux on a MacBook Air: http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/19/an-interview-with-millenium...

Don't forget about Centralia, Pennsylvania ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia,_Pennsylvania ) where an underground coal fire in a coal mine has been burning since 1962, making the town uninhabitable.

I initially disliked the square brakets as well, but I got over it quickly because of the utter happiness I get from writing Clojure code in general. FYI, the square brackets are not an arbitrary deviation from lisp syntax. Square brackets

I occasionally need to print things, for example a train ticket last weekend that needed to be scanned and wouldn't scan on my phone. This might be good for me if it were less expensive.

Regarding #4, the worst aspect of boilerplate is reading it, not creating it. Boilerplate is just visual noise that makes it harder to see what the code's actually doing. I'm not saying that your Java example is hard to read per say, but th

I thought I'd hate the Apple keyboard (on my MacBook Pro) but I ended up really liking it a lot. Even more than my nice mechanical keyboard. It's very quiet and I can type much faster than I can with the mechanical keyboard.

The only downers I care about are stack traces in "Java" rather than Clojure and the lack of TCO in the JVM. I think there's some work going on to address the former. The latter issue isn't really that bad unless you need to use trampoline,

Odds of someone choosing to make a documentary when they can dispute commonly accepted wisdom: pretty good I haven't seen this documentary, maybe he started out thinking he'd prove that his diet was actually bad. If not, then I think it's p

I'm curious about how startups using Clojure are generating their HTML. Are you guys doing it in Clojure code (e.g. Noir) or are you using some sort of HTML templating support (e.g. JSP)? While I really like the idea of writing HTML in Cloj

This reminds me of an experience I had with my girlfriend's eight year old son who was raised on xboxes and other high-tech toys. One day we got him a baseball, glove and a net that allowed him to throw the ball into the net and catch it on

I got similar results compressing data for a mixed memory/disk based cache (Ehcache) using Java's in-built GZIP compression. Can't believe it took me so long to try this. The cache values were in the 2-8K range and GZIP gave me about %90 co

Just curious (and I haven't really used any SSDs yet) if your drive failure experience is with consumer or "Enterprise" SSDs? I'd expect that the enterprise versions would be more resilient but I don't know.

I'm kind of amazed that the pro is only that much heavier than the air. It feels like it's like it's at least twice as heavy.

I assume that you try to limit the number of queries to FlightAware in order to save yourselves money. So I wonder how many you make for a given flight. Obviously you make one when the user enters the flight number, but what about after tha

Just curious, isn't refining oil on an industrial scale easier than enriching uranium? Any idea why they are unable to do it?

I also feel annoyed by cuddled elses. My reason (rationalization?) is that because the else clause is visually further indented it seems to suggest that the clause is somehow less important, and it's also harder to see the structure of the

Maybe it's not possible if you're sharing a room, but in the past I was in a similar situation with regard to natural light. I turned off the ceiling fluorescents and brought in incandescent desk and floor lamps. It made the room much more

I'm envious, that's very enlightened. I've mentioned to my current and past bosses the fact that not everyone wants to work in a romper room environment and would actually prefer quiet instead, only to receive incredulous responses. The abi

There's really no conflict between the statement, "every request gets it's own thread" and the use of thread pools. The point is that a given request in a servlet container is handled in it's own thread. That thread will probably come from

I thought this way about Erlang code at first too, but after a short time I came around and now I think it can be extremely elegant and even beautiful.

I think that's what most people don't understand. Actually, I'm not sure if it's introverts vs. extroverts necessarily, but there are definitely some people who thrive in a busy, loud environment but many people who don't, such as my (admit

Depends on what you want to know of course but I'm more interested in what people would prefer to use. I'd imagine that many people are still using Java and I wonder how many would prefer to switch. For me, I use Scala at work now but I'd p

This worries me too, and I hope it doesn't go too far. However I am using Lion and in general I don't really notice it in this OS. In fact, other than the reverse scrolling behaviour (which would be easy to revert if I cared) I rarely notic
