To what extent do tight-knit teams adjust their interpretation of confidence levels on an individual basis to reflect their ratio? Like, "Overconfident Oscar expressed a tiny bit o…

Yes. Perhaps this is a performance choice for DataScript since DataScript does not keep a complete transaction history the way Datomic does? I would guess this helps DataScript pro…

Yeah, I've used a transaction functions a few times but never had a case where two transaction functions within the same d/transaction ever interacted with each other. If I did enc…

I think the article answers your question at the end of section 3.1: > "This behavior may be surprising, but it is generally consistent with Datomic’s documentation. Nubank does no…

That's a good point. Even though this would weaken my argument (slightly), I now wonder if modern JITs can completely optimize debug.log(someExpensiveFunction()) into a NOOP if the…

Yes lots of programming consists of gluing together libraries, but in my experience languages vary dramatically at how well they do even this. For example, consider logging librari…

I have a Boosted Rev and live in Nob Hill in SF with some steep hills. It zooms up all the hills pretty easily.

Like others, it took me a while to understand what this actually does. Even coming from a Clojure+Datomic background. As best I can tell, this is like phpMyAdmin for Datomic. But t…

I know that algorithmic betting on horse racing is popular in the UK via exchanges like Betfair. Does anyone know if there is an exchange/API for Hong Kong horse racing?

You might think from the URL or logo that this is some kind of official ClojureScript page, but it's not. The official page is clojurescript.org (no hyphen). I don't speak in any o…

I recently used this algorithm in a project. For anyone looking for a high-quality Java or Clojure implementation, I would recommend: https://github.com/timothypratley/munkres (Clo…

I agree there are many considerations when choosing a library, but conciseness does come up. For example, I was recently impressed with how concise http-kit is. The author seems pr…

Yes. You put it better than I did.

This is great. I wish I had this when I was learning reagent.

I've been using Swiss Arrows. https://github.com/rplevy/swiss-arrows

The equivalent clojure code would be: (defn f [a b] (let [res (join "," (sort (distinct (mapcat keys [a b]))))] (if (empty? res) " " res))) Also I'm not a Scala expert, but I think…

BattleCode was the best thing I did while at MIT, and one of the most unique and rewarding experiences of my life. The way David and I were able to win it in 2003: at that time, ro…

It looks like drip does not automatically work with lein: https://github.com/flatland/drip/issues/36 Here's my workaround to use drip to start up lein repls instantly: https://gist…

Yes, it's really faster than biking. I average 12mph on the boosted board. I know because I use a GPS app on my iphone to monitor my rides. This is unfortunately necessary because …

I bring it in wherever I go. Haven't had a problem yet. While grocery shopping, I put it underneath the shopping cart.

I said that. I realized my world was divided into: places I could walk to, places I could bike to, and places I could drive to. Where I live (downtown Palo Alto), driving is a hass…
