hmm sexy idea to have spec help for stacktrace. I expect something cute like elm error messages.

About the parens, it's true it's one great thing, every construct has a value [1].

It's funny because You hear about object orientation where things are uncoupled and standalone yet the language isn't this way. Lisp has this, it's the incarnation of its own idea. But it looks silly if you're in it for the syntactic appeal.

[1] Although I often wish for a helper thing when evaluating the body of, say a let to grab the bindings instead of saying "unknown var a in (inc a)". This is lisp in general
You might not be allowed to sell the shares per an insider trading policy or per a disclosure policy ("CEO of XYZ dumped 50% of their shares" looks way worse than "CEO of XYZ borrowed $25MM to build a luxury house.")

You might not want to sell shares that you've held 306 days, preferring to hold them an additional 2 months to get long-term capital gains treatment on them.

You might not want to take capital gains (even if long-term) on this year's income tax. Maybe you want to defer it to January; maybe you want to defer it to a later year when you expect to have a lower capital gains bracket or when you expect to be able to avoid the Obamacare surtax on investment income (via repeal or via lower AGI)

You might not want to sell shares if the margin loan rate is lower than your expectation for growth of the shares.

What on earth does this have to do with clojure? Programmers will do this in any language, there's nothing special about clojure here.

I personally don't find LISP languages to be the most readable, but I'm fairly sure it's subjective. If you learned LISP and then went to Java, your brain would probably struggle to process all the verbosity...

I wonder the same. And the author writes:

>"and Clojure is the first Lisp I'd consider using in production".

I can't really understand the logic in this. If anything, CL has more going for it for production​ usage, like ANSI standarization and many high-performance compilers.
Clojure also affected the way I think about programming in a very positive way. There are downsides to it

- stack traces
- jvm
- lein is pretty slow

but the upsides

- immutable data structures
- lisp/macros
- repl (you can send code from your editor to the repl)
- community
- great open source web app libraries (for me, anyway)

outweigh the downsides.

I encourage everyone here to try clojure at some point, it might just become your favorite language.
Every estimate I've seen is incredibly idealistic or simply ignores the problems. Safety alone is an incredibly complex issue - the pod travels at high speeds in a tube a few inches from the walls, in vacuum. Any imperfection or leak immediately results in a catastrophe. Even if you somehow manage to stop the pods, how do the people get out?

When you start adding all the safety features, the costs grow extremely fast.

Hyprerloop is not impossible, just very very expensive to build and to maintain.
I'd say Bittrex is the most reputable out there.
Yes, you can reload any symbol in the CLJ REPL directly from the editor. You can also evaluate any function within the context of the running application without going through the main. The REPL is an integral part of the development process in Clojure. You can see this in action here around 15 minute mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nItR5rwP4mY
By far the most incredible thing for me was to see how far a few characters of code can go. Clojure is a very tight language where you can accomplish a lot in just one line of code. You end up suddenly having all this new, extra time to just think about your problem instead of coding it.

This is exactly what I'm doing as well.

The price difference between Hetzner and AWS is large enough that it could pay for 4x as much computational power (as much redundancy as you'd ever need), three full time system admins (not that you'd ever need them), and our office lease... with plenty of money left over!

And it's not like AWS is any easier to use than Hetzner - they both take just as much time to setup and Hetzner is at least as intuitive as AWS.

I'm always surprised when resource scarce startups are paying ridiculous amounts for AWS instances. It is a huge waste of money and I have a hard time telling if it is laziness, following the herd, or ignorance as to how expensive cloud hosting is.
What about putting the effort to support Vue or Ember? What happens if they fall out too?

They never suggested those frameworks are dead or inferior. They just made a product and launched it.

I mean I imagine adding support for each framework takes a lot of work and if the audience is too small then they might feel the time was better spent making the current three frameworks work well.

This is the idea of mvp right?

They just released it. Should they have waited until they had X framework that Y person feels they are missing? Maybe 50 frameworks added later they can release it and you'd be happy at that point?

Seems like more negative with nothing really added.

I thought HN had more quality comments but i've been seeing these kind of low-effort comments that are mostly negative that seem more about complaining then being constructive. I hope you can understand where I am coming from and I hope if you enjoyed their product they are considering adding support for a framework you enjoy.
I think sending from a no-reply with a reply-to defined works though.
Clojure is a lot more focused and opinionated. It's unarguably a functional language first and foremost. Note that you can write any style of code in any Turing complete language, the key difference is what style of code the language encourages.
Hyperloop appears to be a niche solution to a specific transportation situation. It may work (be profitable/useful) for a time between specific destinations. Then the population situation (density, distribution) will change and it will become less profitable or even be discarded.

Its not clear that any current pair of cities currently fit the sweet spot for hyperloop. Even if some did, its not clear a hyperloop could be built in time, before the situation changes and they exit the sweet spot.

Execution and timing will be especially critical to a successful venture.

Nowadays, you can look into your router logs. And Telekom had serious issues with their VoIP stuff.

Likewise, even the apparently planned outages at my previous location exceeded the 30 minutes. (It's still good, but not that good.)
>Is it off-topic though

Yes. Someone identifying an issue encountered in an implementation in one language is not an invitation for a evangelist circlejerk over how another language doesn't have that issue.
Well, one can probably set up a "that shit doesn't really do anything serious" MVP on something even awfully host-prohibitive like Heroku, while preparing for a real deployment. Just to show off "we have a product and working on improvements".

Would probably work just fine if they don't do anything heavyweight but just some CRUD/form processing with a billing integration and a few extras, like many websites/webapps essentially are. ;)

In this sense it's probably a reasonable to not bother about the initial infrastructure before you actually need it. Just don't tie yourself to the cloud, because it'll bite very painfully.

If there is an item that is illegal to possess, typically both the buyer and seller can be prosecuted. That's nothing new.

BSD does not have a patent license clause so if Lior, et al. have a patent on any part of the algorithm then won’t commercial use will still be ambiguous? And even if they don’t it could still be using (infringing) on a patent of a third party. Basically software patents make using any software a risk but possibly more so when you’re using something based on novel ideas.

Edit: GPL and ASL have explicit patent clauses (obviously only applies to patents the software licensor has authority to license).

I don't think that's true at all. It would appear that way if you're only considering the public, "user space" internet. I've done nothing but build web applications in the enterprise sector for the last several years, all of which could not be "just pages".
As an Emacs user, from my experience the Clojure REPL has much better integration with my editor than any non-LISP I've used, which includes Haskell and Erlang. Most of the time I'm not typing commands into the REPL - instead, I'm evaluating code inline, which means I don't need to jump back and forth from the source file to the REPL. It's a much more interactive and productive experience for me, and I haven't been able to fully replicate anywhere else - though it's possible I haven't discovered the right tools for those other languages yet.

I use CIDER with Emacs for Clojure integration: https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider

I've been working with Clojure professionally for the past 6 years, and this is completely contrary to my experience.

Clojure is the first language I've used where I'm able to easily read through libraries and understand them.

Clojure uses a small number of common patterns that are applied to solving a wide variety of problems. Most code in the wild that I've seen tends to actually look very similar, and follows common structure.

I've contributed to many Clojure libraries, and many people have contributed to libraries I maintain. My team also maintains Clojure projects that have been in production for years, and we find them much easier to maintain than comparable Java projects we've written previously.

Which I explained was defended against by having counts at each voting site which could be compared to the online results.

Your (non) response to that was non-specific attacks on the non-planness of my plan as a whole.

Even non-planness attacks should be able to be made specific. You should be able to point to a specific unaccomplishable thing or missing detail... (Perhaps you could complain that I haven’t specified how to collect and save the voting site voter count tallies, which would be fair, but also seems solvable...)

Consider the speech the US founding fathers used leading up to the American Revolutionary War. Some of that speech wouldn't be allowed under any government, including the US. Yet it is by no means immoral or wrong (at least I don't think so). This is an interesting case where the law not only isn't moral, but cannot be moral (unless we take an almost anarchist view that even libertarians would be wary of).

As to focusing on hate speech in particular, I see two major issues at play. What exactly counts as hate speech and who is protected from it. Disagreements on these lead to some people saying hate speech should because they are viewing a definition of hate speech they don't agree with.

I don't have to have the same standard of evidence as courts to judge someone though.

'Beyond a reasonable doubt' doesn't have an agreed upon numerical probability AFAIK, but let's say it's 95%.

I can say, sure, don't put people in jail until it's 95% certain they're a bad guy, but if I think it's 75% likely they're a bad guy, I'm still gonna think they're probably not the most lawful person ever.

(I have zero evidence either way w.r.t to this case specifically, I'm not saying he's guilty, but I just don't think it's as black and white as you make it sound. If someone is accused of murdering children, and there is some evidence pointing to that, but not enough to reach 'beyond a reasonable doubt' so he is found not guilty, it's quite sane to refuse to hire him as a babysitter.)

Rubbish. I've worked with a dozen languages, and its unquestionable that certain ones attact a high ratio of terse complicated code.

Clojure is specifically renouned (and celebrated) for its low LOC counts; people go as far as saying (literally on /r/clojure) given a choice of library, pick the one with a lower LOC.

That's not because people write simple pointless libs like lpad; its because the community actively encourages terse complicated code.
Another interesting side-effect of tight code, is that you become a lot less attached to it. When I worked in Java, it would often take 100s of lines of code to solve a simple problem, and once I wrote that code I'd be very hesitant to throw away or refactor it.

With Clojure, it often takes 10 lines or less to solve problems that take 100s of lines of Java. This encourages a lot more experimentation and refactoring in my experience.

Also, since you're always working in the REPL, you can always run the code after you change it and see that it's doing what you want immediately.
