I mean, it's always useful to know what's happening under the hood, but it's not always realistic to expect that to happen. I don't think the average C programmer need to know assembly any more than the average Ruby programmer needs to kno

Seems nice. The only problem of using it instead of Nailgun for the Clojure development workflow is that starting a new instance of the JVM would mean to re-evaluate all the code, and not only the modified definitions.

There's no way to use Refs or Vars for indexing the same thing from two different places? You'll sure introduce mutability, but you'd still be able to keep a more Clojure-ish style than using an intermediate index.

I use Nailgun[1] with vimclojure[2] and lein-tarsier[3] to avoid the JVM startup pain. You'll end up with a JVM instance (server) running all time and the possibility to evaluate code from many different clients like REPLs and the editor it

Yeah, Chromium on OS X is also getting identified as Chrome.

And installing yaourt[1] makes using PKGBUILDs from AUR and ABS, and binary packages from the repos amazingly transparent and fast. I've never heard of such a level of flexibility on package management. For instance, you can install the pre

5) It scalability is a joke. I've worked as a Java contractor at a number of places and what a PERL/PHP/Python solution can get done in 5 boxes, it takes Java 30-40 boxes. This is NOT an exagerration. I wonder why Twitter is movin

Well, scientific metrics of code quality may be more related to software design than the code craftsmanship itself. A good experience would be get 4 experienced developers to read and evaluate a piece of code; that'd raise some interesting

'Good code' is more of common sense than personal preference. Maybe you should have a look at one of the cited examples ;)

You're right, point taken, I clearly misused the word; it has nothing to do with any personal opinion. I was using 'biased' thinking about its meaning on the Machine Learning context [1]. My intention was to state that idiomatic code is not

When you say "the next Minecraft", are you referring to the some innovation on game dynamics or to the fact that it is an attempt to mimic Minecraft's gameplay style? PS: Betteridge's law

Steam got much of it's traction due to the great Valve games. The audience there just grew faster.

This is pretty much the same idea of Leiningen's plugin system that Clojure developers are used to. It's a great functionality, but it is a move towards a more generic project automation tool functionality, something that unites Bundler, Ra

Hundreds of thousands of people could play Braid on their PCs, how does that differs from playing Fez? Is not about how many people connect their PCs to their televisions, but about how they enjoy playing their games. IMHO that does not jus

I frankly never understood the real reason why Fez was released exclusively for xbox. From the outsider perspective it seems like a very bad decision when it comes to a game as hyped as this one was.
