There probably is, but I haven't used clojure for at least 4 years so I'm not the person to ask. Regardless, a linter might flag things like that, but in my experience the most pernicious ways that it hurts wouldn't be found

Not really. Although Clojure and Clojurescript are both dynamically typed, Clojure is strongly typed while Clojurescript is weakly typed. Clojure: (+ "1" 1) ClassCastException java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Number c

Thanks to the rise of SOA, basically any language no matter how obscure can claim multiple corporate users for for what are ultimately inconsequential projects. But as long as we're using personal anecdotes, I saw several teams using c

That's exactly the point. If I were trying to beat the infinitely compoundable returns of the whole market over a long period of time, I would have to make monumental changes to how I operate, and those changes would drastically alter

> Reacting before “individual investors” and trying to read the news 5 minutes faster than them is not a sufficient edge to consistently beat the market. You have to react faster than the market moves, which means you have to move faster

I trade futures and currencies. Short positions happen about as frequently as long positions. My average trade lasts less than 5 minutes. Macro trends don't really affect my strategy outside of the fact that I tend to watch Fed and ECB

Formula 1 cars probably couldn't even beat a Vespa in a 3000 mile endurance race. Does that mean f1 cars are slow? Does that mean Vespas are fast? Comparing returns between income-oriented day traders and compounding-orieted mutual fun

Honestly I have very little insight into how the bigger firms work. I've only ever done this by myself. But I can imagine that it's a lot harder to come up with 1000 strategies that don't compete with each other for the same

Your income from your employer is not taxed on the corporation. It's a cost of doing business and is tax deductible.

And while the rate of child and teen suicide has risen by 23.5 percent nationally during the years covered by the study, it "more than doubled" (a 136 percent rise) in Utah, according to researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disea

Handwavy dismissals from Mormons about the high suicide rate all have one thing in common: they may explain higher than average baselibe levels, but they don't explain the growth. It is certainly plausible, and as empirical understandi

I'd imagine that if you spent any significant amount of time tracking what Mormon apostles have actually said about a lot of controversial ideas, that you'd no longer be an active Mormon. The exmormon subreddit is littered with pe

That's true, and Utah was the only Red state with anything close to a successful protest vote this last presidential election. Then again, the only meaningful difference between that candidate and Trump was that he was less vulgar and

I can at least vouch for the fact that Cariocas have a tough time adjusting to normal Anglo punctuality demands. As a Portuguese speaking student I ended up with quite a few Brazilian friends and many of the Cariocas ended up flunking out o

Yep, just like college tuition, social security, health care, war funding, and housing prices. Pension promises have always been a way for boomers to get the things they want while making future generations pay for it.

> Roads are literally the classic example of induced demand. The price is the opportunity cost of using them. You build more, you lower that cost, more people decide to start driving. Not that hard to understand. Apparently it is hard

Caving to short term trends is how we got into this mess in the first place. Zoning-based cartels on housing is the microcosm of time, not the other way around.

There's plenty of culture in Kansas, just like everywhere else in the world. The problem is homogeneity of culture, not the lack of it.

It isn't a simile. If they are colluding to reduce supply and increase prices, they actually fit within the dictionary definition of a cartel.

The midwest is underrated, but even though they have the right mentality there are still major barriers to this idea: 1) People almost universally live close to where they grew up. Trying to get someone whose family lives in California to m

Yes, you are right. As it stands right now, upzones are valuable because high density land is scarce, upzones are rare, and the price difference between higher density zoned land and lower density zoned land is so drastic. A much larger sca

Construction costs aren't much higher than they have been historically. Slightly higher because of demand for things with inelastic supplies (like tower cranes), but we're talking average cost change by a few percent at most. And

Building cities is exactly how you preserve natural beauty and vistas. Maybe you prefer we convert Mt Tamalpais to a SFH subdivision, but I would much prefer we house millions of people in a few sqm of land than millions of sqm of land. San

That's obviously not an unpopular opinion. How do you think it got that way? The problem is that as people are slowly priced out of the city, out of the region, and out of state by these asinine policies, digging in the heels is only g

It is by far one of the best tequilas available at any price. In particular their añejos and reposados. Patron is still a great tequila. But if Siete Leguas is available, I'll choose it every time.
