> Don’t expect much more growth out of this language in terms of new projects written in clojure.

Why would an average dev not be able to maintain a clojure code base?
I'm going to guess what you really mean is a average dev that doesn't know clojure. In which case the argument your really making is that its hard to find "clojure devs". Which I think runs contrary to the numbers which suggest many more people wanting to work in clojure then can find jobs. This piece seems to echo that sentiment: https://juxt.pro/blog/posts/clojure-job-market.html

I think by and large companies probably struggle to find clojure devs in there immediate area. Which is why i see all the clojure jobs either

A) remote
B) in big cities

So its possible that companies could get great devs for less if they just allowed for remote.

Nothing backed up here by hard evidence, but worth considering that the language might not really be the only factor here.
I now buy flights direct from airlines because of the dirty tricks of resellers. They've been terrible at sorting out missed connections (please get a paper document in person from the middle-of-nowhere stopover airport to prove it was their fault, and not going to refund legs on a 2nd airline at all) and do dirty tricks like not actually booking your ticket when you pay but waiting till they expect to get it for a lower price, which might mean not getting it at all. I know airlines overbook too but it's one less reason for an already stressful trip to go wrong.

Custom pricing feels like buying from a shopkeeper with no price stickers. You expect to get charged according to what he judges you can afford. It removes the value of being able to rely on all the other customers to collectively decide if the price is fair or not. That means every customer has to individually evaluate every price which is a massive waste of effort.

Distance is no weasel word. China historically interfering with Korea or Vietnam is natural as it's neighbors and problems of one side of the border leaks on the other side, and cultural and economical influences are strong. But France or US interfering with Vietnam or Korea make much less sense. The real deep difference in the long span is that Chinese never sailed en masse to the other side of the planet to "propose" (with a gun in the hand) a foreign religion and a different way of life to people which never asked for anything.

This doesn't sound like a debunking of what people think at all. If the chance of getting infected from a kissing for a minute is 6%, and you spend a week around an infected person and you kiss them repeatedly, you will almost certainly get sick with that infection rate.
Yea, but couldn't I find an expert amongst the group of random Internet people posting on these places? What makes a bookstore employee more knowledgeable or an expert?

You've mentioned recommendations and exploration but things like Goodreads have similar tools - you can follow users who have similar 'likes' as you, you can read lists by people who have similar tastes, and you can get recommendations from the 'pros'.

I'm sorry I mentioned Reddit. I really did mean any online medium, Goodreads, random book forums, anything else.
Ask HN: What's a good way to wake up to my own music?
I want to wake up to my own music, but I'm not content with any of the solutions for Android. None of the music alarm apps have worked consistently for me, and I'm tired with fiddling with it. I want something more reliable, preferably with the appropriate software built into the firmware. I also don't like touch screens.

Here's what I'm looking for:

- An alarm clock feature with RTC wake, to save battery life

- Built-in speakers, preferably with good sound quality as well

- The ability to wake up to an entire album, either through playlist or FLAC support

- Reliability. So I probably want the alarm clock to be a native app, not a third-party one

- Nice controls. A click wheel would be perfect, but buttons are also fine,

I know I can connect the device to external speakers, but I don't want to miss an alarm when it isn't. That's why I want it to have built-in speakers as well.

Newer phones have touch screens and no RTC wake, PMPs generally don't have speakers, so I'm mostly looking at older feature phones like BlackBerries and Nokias. However, I don't know of any ones that will let me wake up to an entire album. Does anyone know of a good solution?
I was top of my class at the seminary, and I just don't understand why I never hear back from these jobs seeking a technology evangelist!
I also think macros are what keeps the language clean long term. Since most things can be expressed in user space using libraries, you don't have to bolt them onto the core language.

As time goes on, usage patterns change and something that might've seemed like a good idea at one time can become an anti-pattern later. Clojure has stayed remarkably small and focused over the years while the way it's used has changed significantly.

It is possible, but I wouldn't put too much confidence in conclusions I've arrived at through application of the Razor on the field I know little about.

An interesting concept to that effect is that of "epistemic learned helplessness"

http://squid314.livejournal.com/350090.html

Basically, if you're not an expert in some field, then for any given argument, arguments of either side can be made to sound equally convincing to you, so - unless you have time to become an expert in every domain you encounter - your best bet is to accept the general scientific consensus on the topic.

(If anything, Occam's Razor is very useful to determine who is arguing for the generic scientific consensus, and who is arguing out of political reasons, or fear driven by ignorance.)

Abbvie (Mavyret) and Gilead (Solvadi, Harvoni) have both developed and marketed treatments which cure Hepatitis C.

Roche sells MabThera which (together with chemotherapy) cures about 2/3rds of a common type of lymphoma. They also recently failed with a large phase III study in this setting, having hoped to cure even more people with an improved treatment.

Celgene and Abbie/Pharmacyclics both have large phase III trials running in the same disease, aiming to cure more patients through the addition of their drugs to the current standard-of-care treatment.

Novartis has just launched Kymriah, a CAR-T treatment which offers the prospect of long-term remissions in paediatric ALL. (Too early to say whether some of these will effectively represent cures.)

Various pharmaceutical companies are attempting to develop new antibiotics, which would cure infections.

(Just recent examples, and off the top of my head...)
The Web is terrible for secure crypto, the best you can do is session secrets. However, they're working on a new standard that will finally allow you to store private keys securely. Until then, write your own native apps with webviews and browser extensions with local js that can be audited.
Computers aren't a black box mystery. We understand how they work. We understand that they are implementations of Turing machines (or similar computational models), and Turing machines are by definition a formalism and thus syntactic in nature. Computers are therefore no more than syntactic machines (I would further claim that computers aren't strictly speaking syntactic machines either, but physical artifacts -- and we can use different physical properties and states toward this end -- that simulate a formalized, syntactical system). Syntax as such is semantically blind, so to speak. Human beings, on the other hand, do "possess" meanings. We have concepts. Pure syntax can never amount to a single concept anymore than purely speaking about climbing Mt. Everest ever itself amounts to actually climbing Mt. Everest. Any semantics we associate with computer programs is entirely an act of interpretation on the human end.
If a dev can't work with Clojure, I'd be pretty suspect about their coding ability in general. I have yet to work with somebody who couldn't pick it up in a few weeks or so.
You are getting downvoted because pseudomedicine, including the idea that Vitamin C cures diseases, causes real harm. Low-information patients reject proven therapies in favour of quackery and make their ailments worse, ultimately leading to higher costs for all of society.

"It may not work for everyone but it works for me" is a fallacy – if you run a 50/50 blind study on yourself for the next 30 colds you catch, controlling for factors like season, air quality, stress levels, sleep, and nutrition, and you still find that Vitamin C consistently cuts your colds in half, then we'll believe you. Otherwise, stop pushing misinformation.

I think an important element in comparing Go to Java for webserver apps is language design. While Java 8 and Go's performance may be similar in small single-threaded request handler benchmarks, Java's baseline design encourages the creation of lots of expensive runtime abstractions, and makes parallelism difficult. Go on the other hand encourages a minimum of abstractions and makes parallelism trivial. That means that the marginal cost of business logic is much higher in Java, in both response times (due to unnecessary serialization) and overall computation. Some of this can be averted by careful engineering, but Java definitely isn't a "pit of success" in this regard - the easiest thing to do is usually the wrong thing.

I love it when people make a mess because they didn't really understand the problem initially, then rewrite it in something else and give all credit to the new technology they happened to be using.

When you rewrite a project it's always going to be a lot better, because you have a much better understanding of the problem being solved having done that once already.
It looks like you currently opt in to the paywall as a writer.

Of course, that could change.
"Free for Google, paywall for everyone else."
You revert back to more traditional pricing methods.

Pricing was advanced field even before the internet. Everyone doing it should first study pricing at least few days to get a feel and ideas and to know what kind of pricing methods to use and how to determine the initial price and how to change it.
The best way to avoid being manipulated in this way is to stop buying things.
The idea is similar but also there are important differences. In that
1. Who owns the debt(bubble) that is piled up and who is it owed to. The US stock market the debt was owed by private banks and on their balance sheets. In china there is not a lot of difference between monetary and fiscal policy and because of this the Banks spend as govt wants them to and so is the ownership of debt.
2. Not the 2008 crisis. Thats just poor due diligence of borrowers letting them use the same collateral for multiple loans.
I'm not sure that there's a myth to be debunked, is there? Java's known to be high performance as a web application server, if good architectural choices are made.

A few frames of the video caught my eye: https://screenshots.firefox.com/eOm06NUSg0CSkb1a/arstechnica...

It looks like there's some sort of harmonic wave in the blast. Does anyone have any insights on why the design would result in that?
I think we simultaneously agree and disagree.

I agree that older candidates typically have expectations of higher total compensation.

My point is that, either:

1. That expectation is unfounded -- they are looking to be paid out of proportion to the value they would provide back to the company, or

2. That expectation is justified, in which case the cash-poor company should find some way of striking a deal, so that they can bring on an employee of high value.
Completely disagree with your disagreement. The brick definitely does not "fall out of most outlets."

I agree that it is hard to measure an employee's value. Furthermore, predicting a candidate's value is even more difficult.

Even then, I think the compensation can be structured to reflect that risk profile.
Well I have some suggestions, but it can be a little bit biased about what I want particularly for my project, but I think you can take something out of it:

I really like the looks, in the matter that the replys of the comments are followed but that arrow which is very user friendly and appealing.

Like the google like icon of the letter.

Like the heart (like) and the down (dislike) option, although I'm not sure why I need to click again once I click on the dislike, it should be inmediate, maybe change the icon so it is more friendly (like the facebook finger down or something related)

I'm not sure if comments get organized by likes, but I think it would be good if the admin of the page could select if he wants the comments to be displayed in chronological order or by likes.

Also following that, I think it would be good if as an admin, I could select a direct message system (no preview, no code structure, with little to no parsing) so users can reply inmediately and without hazzle. In the software-related community this is a good option, but think about other use cases - of your regular internet user - who just wants to comment. That option with the preview and parsing is not useful to him/her.

Hope this helps!

My team has been using Clojure for over 7 years now, We have never had a problem hiring people. You can take somebody who has no Clojure experience, and get them writing useful code literally in a couple of weeks.

Meanwhile, Scala is a much more complex language, and training somebody on it will be a lot more challenging.
You sound like you doubt the viability of automated and distributed tree planting which may be more statistically significant? I get your point that hundreds may not do, what about hundreds of thousands, then?

Let's agree that we can't know as long as nobody tried. And you're right, we don't have the numbers on how the survivorship ratio in larger magnitudes would behave, it might just shrink to ridiculously small. But then again the soil would be slightly "improved" by a dead sapling, maybe even increasing the chances for another try?

I haven't did think it was important unless I was sending emails. I will look into it.
I agree, and that's one of many reasons I like Clojure so much. I find its syntax maps very cleanly to the way I think. It's one of the most readable languages I've worked with. It primarily has to do with Clojure syntax being simple and consistent.
"If good architectural choices are made" is a high bar, considering that many popular Java frameworks (not the ones high up on the list) have already made bad choices (performance-wise) for you.

You've put an interesting perspective on the safety/cost balance. I find it ironic that the replier is effectively demonstrating your point: people have an emotional attachment to safety, but not opportunity cost, regardless of the math. This is perhaps a form of "one death is a tragedy, ten thousand deaths are a statistic."
> Namely that the trust model is no different from temporarily handing the encryption keys to the server.

True in this case, but not necessarily true. IPFS[0] allows you to ensure that the content you're receiving is correct (if you run a local gateway, which you should), because the URL is basically a content hash.

Therefore if you know the code is secure in the first place, you can always visit the same URL and know that you're getting "safe" code that doesn't exfiltrate the keys or plaintext. This then presents the same trust model as running code locally, except you don't need to install anything: you just visit the correct URL, and the code is running, with all the same trust as it would have if you downloaded it and kept it safe from modification.

> The problem is that despite that being so, ebooks also have zero incremental costs. People recognize that, and so they resent eBooks costing as much as hardbacks.

Thats more of a perception problem than an actual fact. It turns out that hosting/supporting ebooks does have incremental costs and people dramatically over estimate how much the price of a hardback is the physical copy. If they just priced the difference in physical production vs ebook support into the price, I think most people would be surprised at how little the discount would be.

Now there is a difference of course but the greater part of the price of a book comes from the creation of the intellectual property (including subsidizing all those books that don't get sold) and the sales process.

The bigger issue is that publishers have lots of expertise in selling physical books (100s of years) and ebooks are brand new. Further, the biggest platform for ebooks is run by a company that is not in anyway aligned with the publishers business interests and is in fact a competitor. This is not true of traditional book sales channels.

Your rhetoric doesn't match the world.

Part of society involves distributing decisionmaking and risks. And no, not always equally. I don't find the argument that those most adept at accurately and fairly assessing risks are necessarily those who can accomplish the tasks involved.

If things were made to avoid breaking, it would reduce the need for people to replace them every 1-2 years. This is what you get if you make maximizing profit margin the only goal of society.
I didn't specify how exactly you should be achieving that so I'm assuming you assumed that I was assuming that networking is all about drawing attention.
