The issue is with consuming the tweets. Publishing the data somewhere else has the same problems as publishing on Twitter. 1. The Twitter ToS prevents scraping the content in section 4.iii. https://twitter.com/tos?lang=en 2

If @realDonaldTrump deletes a tweet, it's against the Twitter ToS to republish it using a bot. When it does happen I've seen people post screenshots of the old tweet. This doesn't prove anything more than trivial knowledge of

The data structures in Clojure are built on shallow 32-way trees. When you "change" a map or a vector, the algorithm only copies from the root node down to the parent of the leaf you're changing. That's log32(N) copied n

The argument only applies to unchecked exceptions because those can happen from anywhere without being mentioned by the calling code. It's easy to sneak through a layer of abstraction since the bubbling is implicit . The `try!()` in

That's a false dichotomy. Business apps become huge codebases due to lack of engineering discipline and cutting corners to make deadlines. It happens regardless of whether the code is written for the browser or the server because there

I recently discovered the work of Laurie Spiegel, whom I now have great respect for. My personal favorite song by her is the opener from her only album "The Expanding Universe": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN3u

He means the software requires Kafka as a dependency, not that the foundation is sponsoring it. The claim of "designed primarily for ease of use" is a personal one, not hard to make.

On my first admittedly unfair impression I feel the same way, but I'd love to be proved wrong. Chris Granger is a serious programmer whose work deserves careful consideration.

While I understand that "programming is not visual" is a common point of view, I strongly disagree with it. See here: http://worrydream.com/LearnableProgramming/

Exactly. This is great advice.

I agree with this. It reminds of a post I read a little while ago from Cognitect: > When you’re working with high leverage, you don’t have to put as much investment in to get the same functionality or value out. Because your code is simp

As a developer at Automattic, the most interesting thing about this to me is that our whole workflow is now public. There are lots of companies that release their code, but it's rare that they also make their development process transp

It's important to think about your performance needs before you add any kind of third-party dependency. In production, you might consider using IcoMoon to create your own font with just the icons you need. [1] This library provides eve
