Is this a repost? I swear I've seen a similar post recently with near-identical responses.

Reminded me of this article about how centering things is the hardest problem in computer science (with plenty of examples). https://tonsky.me/blog/centering/

Simple != Easy https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy/ I'm not sure if the author succeeded or not, but at least the goal is clear.

Or you could start a startup that codes circles around its competitors (see Nubank, which became large enough to acquire Rich Hickey's team). There's a growing list of Clojure unicorns, most of whom have a tech-forward culture. Ag

Have you tried it? I was skeptical too until I built a few apps with it. The learning curve is easier than it seems (I started by modifying the examples) and it really does cut down on development time - turns out much of modern web program

I largely agree with the comments here, that LLMs struggle with Clojure but Claude does it best at the moment. I also use it mainly for writing individual functions, though it occasionally correctly generates a simple Electric app with my d

Booster executed a successful landing burn and had a soft splashdown. Starship survived reentry, did the flip and landing burn, and splashed down. There was visible damage to the flaps.

You had to read pretty far to get to the reason for mounting upside-down: "The way to solve that problem was totally placing the aircraft upside-down. With antennae on the belly of the plane and the belly facing the sky, we could rotat

Want to put in a plug for Electric Clojure. More composable than React (mix server and client code in the same function!) and more performant. I've had a lot of fun using it over the past year, and it's IMHO the most transformativ

Tyler Hobbs writes about generative art, including getting started and improving. Some of his tips are Clojure-specific, and others are more general. I found the essay on flow fields especially interesting. https://tylerxhobbs.co

Are you a lisper? The article is mostly about the power of a lisp dialect. It's kind of "in the tradition" of lisp to write about it in glowing terms. I myself was inspired to learn a lisp after reading several of these types

That's wonderful! Would love hear about it / see some photos if you do decide to publish. Sounds like you've built a real community which is priceless.

I found out about this LAN-party-optimized house ( https://kentonshouse.com/ ) from a previous discussion on HN, and thought it was the coolest thing ever.

This is a hit, congrats on your success! My favorite part is sound and music design: the SFX and music mesh well, the transitions are seamless and intentional e.g. when the warp stalls there is also a breakdown on beat.

Congrats on shipping! I enjoyed my playthrough. I suspect it's the perfect length for blowing up on HN, since there's an emotional payoff for completing the game and if it were any longer, less people would complete it.

if it makes the game lots fun then there's a good case for the feature!

Looks nice! What does "small" mean in this case, and why the restriction?
