it's probably necessary. and i must ask, you've studied philosophy? that's the only time i see people talking about "necessary and sufficient conditions"

Can you expand on this, I am quite curious.

Our engineering team has a #naming slack channel. It actually gets a pretty good amount of use and it's been pretty helpful.

I have had a similar experience over the past 15 years. re-frame is absolutely wonderful.

That seems likely. But then, I would think LISP does realize the lambda calculus in some sense. It naturally lends itself to this sort of exercise and it's really successful.

The post quotes McCarthy: "one of the myths concerning LISP that people think up or invent for themselves becomes apparent, and that is that LISP is somehow a realization of the lambda calculus, or that was the intention. The truth is

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is the one stop shop for most purposes. With any one philosopher or topic as a starting point, the additional resources and bibliographies will be about as good as you can get for a curated list. htt

I would like to read the article but between the background and the code font, I just can't do it. What is the thought behind this design decision?

Yes! These things are some of the best faux-meats out there.

His follow-up, The Dichotomy of Leadership is almost as good, and his podcast is a constant source of motivation. I am a Marine so I feel like I am extremely biased, but, everyone I've shared his work with has felt it equally as reward

I am surprised Jocko Willink's books aren't on here. His book on leadership, Extreme Ownership, is excellent. Intertwined are stories from his time as a Navy Seal leader and applications of what he learned there to the business wo

Meditation, exercise, and a diet that includes no caffeine, no added sugar, & no processed food has done wonders for my ability to focus. I also made it a point to become a morning person, usually up by 5:30.

I understand the font choice, but you might want to reconsider. It's not easy to read.

Hey this framework looks nice, but that carousel with the code example is really annoying, at least in my experience. Carousels are horrible, and to put a code snippet in one seems silly. This tiny point aside though, excellent work, and th

Among psychologists, Laurence Barsalou is one of the most prominent academics working in the emobodied cognition, or as his lab calls it, grounded cognition, tradition: http://barsaloulab.org/ His work has influenced one of

You might find some of this researcher's work of interest: http://www.cs.otago.ac.nz/staffpriv/alik/research.php It's not quite cutting edge AI, but it is a lab that takes seriously embodied cognition.

Arch. Always liked the rolling releases and the community is excellent. Even when I don't use Arch, I'm almost always finding myself on its forums when I need some help or guidance on something.

there are two issues at play. the force of the market, and the pedagogical concerns re: teaching/learning web development. neither of these has anything to do with privilege. i left academia because the stench of Foucault and Derrida g

I haven't been able to put my finger on why cljs isn't more popular, especially given all of the great stuff David Nolen did in the early days of React and the ease of use of figwheel and some other cool things in the ecosystem. I

If anyone gives these other compile-to-js languages a look, I would add ClojureScript to that list, especially if doing React work. The re-frame framework is great, and the cljs ecosystem is a joy imo. You won't get the kind of type sy

I bounce back and forth between TypeScript and Clojure. I've been keeping a close eye on Clojure's upcoming spec as it seems to be a nice opt-in, run-time type-checking solution. I like the flexibility and quickness with which dyn

re-frame is beautiful. the real world implementation in re-frame up on https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld has excellent comments and is a great way to learn it after the docs

Apollo has a persisted queries option. And there's a PR open on relay modern for it. At least for queries, both of these let's you store the query itself on the server then use a GET request with a query hash and variables. We use

Agreed. Having used React since the beginning and having taught it, this seems to me its natural evolution. I also thought the API was beautiful. I also think it will be easier to teach, but I'm less certain about that. While I think i
