I wonder, what would happen if Clojure was marketed as a configuration file format from the very start, without mentioning persistent immutable data structures, software transactional memory, and other scary words. Would it have more adopti

This plugin is 'bundled' which means it can't be uninstalled. There are examples of widely used plugins supported by JetBrains that are not bundled, for example IdeaVim. They could suggest installing AI plugin as part of inst

I don't see the usual 'uninstall' button for this plugin, it has 'uninstall update' instead. After I've pressed 'uninstall update' the plugin is still in installed plugins list (but with an older vers

I can relate to this, it seems that code hosting providers push their users into having more repos with their CI limitations. I’ve noticed that with GitHub Actions, I assume Atlassian does the same.

Looks like a statically typed PHP replacement with a lot of domain-specific type checks. I really wanted to see how they enforce this one: ‘Include client-side code that makes incorrect assumptions about the "AJAX"-style services

The quote is from an old blog post: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=42#:~:text=Clojure%20is%20the%20g... . The blog post itself is not very informative, but the quote is poetic, memorable and perfectly captures the sentiment of s

Right, but even if I have the source code but can't patch the version that I'm running, that's not very useful to me.

Isn't it a common practice for one's Masters/PhD thesis to be a compilation of several articles that were published while working on the thesis?

Good point. In short, I would rephrase it as "if your measurement doesn't show the difference between trained and untrained teachers, maybe your measurement is wrong?" There 2 other plausible hypothesis that the article ignor

Open plugins do have a meaning for many developers even if the platform itself isn't open. The meaning is: developers can easily find reference code to develop their own plugins and can easily patch open plugins when they break.

Yep, and as soon as you need non-local updates, the whole concept of HTML-over-the-wire starts breaking down. I really like this HN comment on this topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38081174

Note, that Java had to maintain backward compatibility, so they couldn't inject any new syntax into existing string literals. So, they had a choice between: 1. Introducing syntax for new kind of string literals (like JS did) 2. Make so
