It was a figure of speech :) Here's a great paper about the topic of complexity http://shaffner.us/cs/papers/tarpit.pdf if you feel like digging deeper.

Yea, of course private sector will rationally benefit when government is running around like a chicken without a head throwing money around. I don't want to get into the reasons why the incentives are setup like they are - that's

The F-35 is one of those programs that completely boggles the mind. It's government abomination at its worst. Let's put a few numbers in perspective: SpaceX operated for 10 years with approx. $1 billion USD total. It designed spac

This should be the top comment in this thread. A lot of garbage comments overall.

Here's the simple, one line answer: "I expect a salary that's competitive for someone with my abilities and experience." Do not ever say any numbers, exact or ballpark (as the article says in so-many-words). If they insi

I see your point. Good discussion. Back to work now, and all the best. Cheers.

Staying frugal being a good strategy is something we can agree on. The agreement ends there though. Judging by your profile info and comment I assume you haven't previously started a company on your own from scratch (yes/no?). I t

Thumbs up. If this is getting down voted, all bets are off.

Have you ever gone as frugal as this to speak about it? And what would you suggest the "generation of fools" do otherwise? Get a 50k job at a big company and live happily ever after? Too much hate in that comment. (edit for gramma

Question for someone experienced with Racket: does Racket offer immutable/persistent data structures?

by raspasov 10y ago
It comes down to what you are most experienced and familiar with. Choosing based on that is fine, but you have to realize that might be a very bad decision mid or long term. The author seems to be aware of that so all is good. It took a few

It sounds like you have a startup idea on your hands : )

The story is already quite good (having shipped a production app myself and maintained it for 6+ months). Checkout re-natal for a good template to start.

You should probably find a new startup to join/start.

It's pretty amazing, isn't it, the type of infinitely useless brain loops we can get stuck in. Especially when we fail to take a step back and ask the question "Is this really the right way?".

I just upgraded the the latest ClojureScript two days ago - big thanks to swannodette and all the ClojureScript contributors! It's really a killer feature that allows generating externs almost pain-free! I'm making the jump to adv

Checkout clojure.spec - you might find it very useful. The problem with types is that they are only a static/at rest description of your data. For example, it's a String or it's a Date. But does that String contain @ characte

If you're really worried about someone from abroad coming and stealing your job, you should probably work harder and smarter yourself. Can't help but feel that most Americans don't have a legitimate fear of someone stealing t

I disagree. From 0 to production, it took me 1 month. I had never done a mobile app before. Granted, I did have React experience on the web - that certainly helps. I agree that the documentation can be better. My advice is - either contribu

Yup, the JVM is something that people (esp. startups & new-co's) are, all things being equal, vastly underusing or over-complaining about :). Before I started doing Clojure the JVM ecosystem was this "scary" thing but 4 y

Correct, a lot of the average application-level code you see in the wild does not have to worry about this. If we're talking about things like load-balancers or databases or endpoints/functions that will be hit 1000s of times per

If the author reads this: Can you elaborate more on what you mean by "lackluster performance"? What is the use case? If you're looking for top speed in terms of C/assembly performance - I'd say yes, probably the JVM

Eh, maybe - I just remember being wrong myself about things like the iPad, for example. There was a ton of "it's just an oversized iPhone" speak everywhere but it turned out to be a pretty successful product (not better than

How much total storage do you need? Something to consider: A few years ago I used Rackspace's OnMetal servers https://www.rackspace.com/en-us/cloud/servers/onmetal for a dedicated MySQL 128GB RAM server
