Ask HN: What are the best learning resources or ways for Clojure?
I have been trying to learn clojure for several days but I can't put its structure , syntax as easy as other languages because of its lisp and interpreting way. For instance when one look at resources of other languages, "loop topic" is one of first topics in that language resource however it is hard to understand loop in clojure "(loop (when recur ..." etc. What I mean is I cannot think in clojure paradigm as leaving classic syntax from left to right interpreting etc. I need some resources to make clojure paradigm easy to understand . Any suggestions ?
Maybe they went to ten linguists, and all they got as an answer is "there is no objective definition of 'fluent'. You are trying to find a single correct result that doesn't exist!"

Then, armed with the naiveté of thinking that if there is something like 'fluency' it must be possible to measure it, they just threw a bit of money at the problem. Note that asking a representative group of people is the closest you can get to exactly what you want to measure (apart from asking everyone). It doesn't matter that there's no agreed-upon method to measure the quality of pizza: if I maximise the subjective impression, I'll get exactly what I wanted.

It does sound very similar to plane checklists where the pilot has to call every item verbally.
This is a cultural difference. Nothing dehumanizing if you consider the stakes and increased safety that results from this.

Why would you pick the one with a degree? If two developers are of equal technical ability, I would honestly pick the one with better social skills over the one with a degree.

The largest flying creatures were pterosaurs. They, in turn, are reptiles or tetrapods, which makes them similar to dinosaurs and their modern representatives: crocodiles, lizards, and snakes.

Current understanding has pterosaurs as avemetatarsalians, just like dinosaurs and birds, and unlike crocodiles, lizards, and snakes.

I'm a little embarrassed to say that I lived in Japan for several years (in high school) and never really noticed this or thought of it as being out of the ordinary.
If I'm working on a hi-dpi display (most of the time I am), Source Code Pro is my font. It's not a great font at small sizes though.
Eh, you don't need massive VC to get quality resilient tech companies. You need massive VC for massive bubbles. Sydney has some good startups going now, I would say on a per capita basis Australia does well. It's not Australia's fault that companies become successful and then move to larger markets to be closer to customers and such.

Things have been rapidly changing too with the young generation. Smart people are skipping the investment banks for startups because they see the opportunity.

Just listened to this on NPR. The author went in for a routine laparoscopic surgery, and through a series or errors, ended up in a coma for a month. The hospital never told her about the errors committed by the doctors. She had to figure it out for her self.

Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the US. Most surgical consent forms provide no obligation on the doctors to inform the patient of errors that happen.
Your indirectly talking about the year. "January" is for the current year and "last January" would be last year.

I would interpret "this past" as most recent thing from the current. So "this past January" would, to me, sound like the most recent January (Jan 2017)
Around 2002, Australia stopped New Zealanders getting automatic Australian citizenship after residency. Also then, New Zealand changed the residency time to become a citizen from 3 years to 5 years. I haven't heard about the extra 2 years mentioned by amatix.

Until then, it was easier to get NZ permanent residency than Australian, and many people, especially from China, took that "back door" to Australian citizenship. During the 1990's, I met many who spent the 3 years in NZ unemployed, learning conversational English. After becoming NZ citizens they'd go to Australia and get a job within months.
Interesting, you see a similar action (I believe for the same reason) in cockpits [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEX0ZYDziiU&t=13s].
This is a topic debated to death between Mac and Windows users. Here is the argument in favor of the Mac/Ubuntu solution. The time it takes to hit a target is inverse proportional to its size, according to fitts law. A menubar at at the top has infinite height, thus it is a really large area to hit. In practice that makes it much faster to hit a menu bar at the top than inside a window.

What you don't want is an autohiding menu bar. When it autohides you can't see the location of the target before you move your mouse. For people who use this setup are used to throwing the mouse pointer up quickly to the target. You can't do that if the menu is hidden. Then it is a two step process. First throwing the mouse up to the menu and then making a selection.

This is the reason why we keep all frequently accessed GUI elements on the corners of the screen. These are the quickest places to hit. E.g. the Windows start button is fast to hit for this reason. But to be fair you are using the application menu bar a lot more frequent than the start menu.
What you call cleansing is also a massive loss of wealth by the middle classes and a transfer directly upwards to the wealthy. So sad this has not happened /s

There's no law of physics that says wealth must be destroyed every few years.
Yes, but not because laziness was a technical failure, but for something more resembling PR reasons. Haskell's laziness by default ends up being a large stumbling block for many developers not used to thinking in that way.

Although I understand why Idris is strict by default, there is a part of me that dies a little from that understanding :(
Twist: there's an actual bomb, but everybody thinks you're talking about a napkin.

I'm not familiar with the Java applet model specifically, but Java's general security model is based on stack inspection, which is nothing like capabilities.
Neural Network Zoo Prequel: Cells and Layers
That is cool. I wish it wasn't dependent on the vertical alignment so much (e.g. if you have a single character, you can't tell an 'a' from a 'b' from a 'c' -- heck if you have a 'ab' that could also be a 'bc' or a 'cd'). Maybe it matters less in practice than I think.
Except that the "stable ABI" thing doesn't work in practice. Look at all the people who have to throw away perfectly good hardware every time a new Windows version comes out, because the hardware maker doesn't care about updating their drivers and just tells customers to buy a new version.

Extending the metaphor, some of the older Mesoamerican religions are imperative, in that they involve a lot of telling people what to do. Contrariwise, hermetic magic is purely functional, in that the practitioner expresses a series of state transformations with no side effects.
Yes, you can only invoke the publicly interface of an object. It's not an analogy, object references really are capabilities.
You are implying there is a downside. In my example they are the same in all aspects you measure.

But ALL houses have not increased in price, only the ones that were offered up for sale. So, niche salary gains and niche housing price spikes. If all the houses came for sale on the same day, I guarantee the prices would not remain this high, but that's not how it works.

Here are my 2cents: Robinhood is irrelevant and border line dangerous.

Irrelevant, because for someone who knows what they are doing in the stock market paying $10 or $0 per trade is not going to save them any money.

Dangerous, because it promotes more trades for the “unsophisticated” investor and encourages leverage = very dangerous situation.

Bottom line, if you do not know what you are doing, don’t do it, buy and hold is not a strategy and sooner or later will leave you very disappointed, especially if you are leveraged on top of that. Just ask the investors in the Japan asset price bubble when they’ll see the top again – looks like never in their life time...

To be able to invest successfully you need to spend the time and educate yourself like in any other profession or hobby and the first step is to go to eBay and search for historical stock market data, you can buy 20 years of data for less than $100 and you can test all your ideas for free and without losing a single penny...

Good luck!
Xilinx ISE does give the notion of raw concrete.
It's much harder to come by then traditional "incredibly hard to come by" substances like precious metals or coral snake venom; harder to store, harder to study, and consequently much more expensive. Keep in mind that something like a coral snake's venom goes for more than $1000 a gram (Platinum being ~$30), but antimatter according to NASA estimates? $62.5 trillion USD per gram.
Are you saying that "are comprised of" is not grammatically correct in its context in the article? Why?
Devops right now is very lucrative. Those that understand the cloud (AWS/GCE) and the tools (Terraform/CloudFormation/Ansible/Kub/ECS/etc...) are extremely sought after.
I don't quite get this... According to the bar graph, the automated systems fail to correct around half of even orthographic (spelling) mistakes. One example is "advertissment", which macOS is now trying really hard to correct against my will in this text area.

Another example is "From this scope, social media has shorten our distance", where "scope" is supposed to be "perspective". That seems to be something that machine learning should easily pick up on, and indeed, when I just tried it on google translate, I couldn't get it to make this mistake without my original (german) sentence also encroaching awkwardness.

So I'm unsure how much value it is to win against systems that fail rather spectacularly. I also don't quite understand why you would need manually-created data for this task, instead of just buying everything ever written in TOEFL essay questions and pitting it against the New York Time's archive.

It's obviously quite likely that there are good reasons for all this. They may have thought a bit longer about it than I just did.
He could have ask a friend to apply the exploit, is a matter of responsibility because you need proofs to support your statements. What would happen if the exploit is not real and he called it out incorrectly?
I noticed the problem on myself on several occasions and kind of invented the same solution.

For example, sometimes I would take a medicament mechanically while doing something else and just a few minutes later, forget if I took it or not. Solution: say loud to myself "I'm taking a pill".

Another: sometimes I'd lend some amount money to a colleague, and a few weeks later I'd have a hard time figuring whether they gave it back, and they too. Solution: I tell them to hit me (or do some other stupid thing) when they give the money back, so we both remember.

Going even further, sometimes I have to set a reminder to myself like "take an umbrella when leaving tomorrow morning because it's gonna be raining". Putting umbrella close to the exit, or doing a phone reminder do not always work, particularly when I'm in a hurry. One thing that works is doing some notable physical disruption in the environment, like putting a can of tomato sauce, upside-down, close to the exit.

Movie Business Scrambles to Adapt to Changing Consumer Demand
For a small player like Ubuntu I think it makes sense to copy ideas from others as they don't have the resources to come up with advance and novel UI concepts themselves.

But I can agree with one thing. Don't jump around too much. Make gradual improvements. One of the things I like about the Mac is that the UI paradigm has stayed very consistent since Mac OS X was released. There are far too many changes in e.g. Windows, and it seems Linux is copying too much of this. E.g. removing the menu bar and making UIs look like mobile phone UIs is silly and wasteful. Many of the established UI paradigm on the desktop have been refined over decades and work very well.

- Keep regular menu bars
- Keep regular menu bars, don't go crazy with animated tiles and that sort of stuff.
- And please none of the crazy ribbon stuff.

Honestly I think Ubuntu would be pretty safe following Apple as they don't jump onto crazy ideas with every release like MS. They stick with what they have and refine it. That makes sense for Linux to do as well.

It's a caring profession. People spend their working lives mopping floors, wiping noses, changing bedpans, picking up road kill, helping little kids cross the street, caring for the elderly and disabled. Others -- repetitively -- cut up chickens all day, fasten on car doors, or fill out tax returns. How is that any different as a means of earning a living?

The linked book has a freely available chapter 13 available that shows how to create state machines with dependent types. Of course its easy in any language, but with Idris you can ensure at compile time that all state transitions in a program are valid.

You wrote about preceptions in another part of the thread. But that's not what I replied to. The words are above, and it wasn't about perceptions.

But on perceptions: naive perceptions don't justify a false statement. So why draw focus to them, why excuse them? Facts trump perceptions.
Accidental nepotism is still nepotism, and should be actively avoided.

I always wonder why photon is its own anti matter. If it was not so, we wouldn't be able to study anti matter with lasers for example.

Also, why is the anti particle pair of a charged particle the opposite charge, but neutral particle/anti particle pair are both chargless? Though it does make sense that in order to cancel each other out, it must be so..

Actually, it not. If you want the full account, you can read David McCullough's book about the Johnstown Flood

Frick was essentially Carnegie's right-hand man, having been appointed to run Carnegie's businesses after he withdrew from their day to day operations to enjoy his wealth. The club was explicitly set up as a retreat for executives from Carnegie businesses or those with ties to them (it was informally known as "The Bosses Club"). Carnegie not being a charter member is immaterial, as it's simply an artifact of his slight remove from the day-to-day operations. He was certainly caught up in the suit that, were liability laws the same as they were today, Carnegie's business' would have been dragged down with him.

> My question was "If you have a computer language which has defined elements of the syntax how can you not have clearly defined meanings of combinations of the syntax?"

During my time they were a big Haskell shop, working with Glasgow University (the G in ghc). There were also into custom research languages that nobody's ever heard of like Napier and, erm, S-Algol (again with Glasgow; the S stands for 'Scottish')...

I see that Idris generates real machine code. I see it goes through LLVM, so the code quality should be decent; but I see a reference that the binary needs to know where the compiler is, which makes me a bit worried about the needed dependencies.

Additionally, apart from the dependent types, does Idris fix some of the annoyances with Haskell --- modules, namespacing, field access, shudder strings?
