What's your opinion on exposing the option of stale vs. consistent read in the API? I can see cases where I'd be ok with a stale read while for others I'd like the most up-to-date …

Hi, author here. I haven't tested it on ClojureScript yet, but since core.async is supported by CLJS I don't see the reason why it wouldn't work there as well. If it doesn't, let m…

Hi, author here. That was exactly my motivation for writing it. There's all sort of middleware and plugins out there for throttling from the server side, but I found nothing that w…

I shared your worries about the turnover time for unit tests. But if you use something like [Midje][1] with the 'autotest' feature on, your tests will run in the background after e…

Aphyr's Clojure from the ground up [1] series is the best place to start in my opinion. [1]: http://aphyr.com/tags/Clojure-from-the-ground-up

Specifically, core.async brings Go-like goroutines (channels) to Clojure.

I'm positively sure that they did. The sad thing is that they still thought that it was worth doing. To me, that says a lot about where Google's priorities are today.

I remember thinking how atrociously bad the idea of limiting your expression to 140 characters (or any other short limit) seemed to me. And here I am, going on my third year of bei…

I received an email yesterday and another one this morning.

On the other hand, I find the Coursera classes much better in quality. At least the CS ones seem to have a more formal and rigorous tone, which is something that I value more than …

Not even in Reddit would that comment be welcomed.

Try sorting the questions by "best". The quality seems to improve a bit.

You are right, of course.

No, the brain can only use ketone bodies after days of carbohydrate deprivation. You can't achieve ketosis overnight by skipping breakfast. If there's not enough glycogen in the li…

When the spec itself is as feature rich as Perl 6 is, having an 80% complete implementation still accounts for a very usable, very feature rich language to play with and implement …

What makes you think they are using enzymes?

No, the Na:Cl ratio should still be 1 to balance off the charges. It's probably reducing the size of the salt crystals so that it disolves in your saliva quicker, allowing for the …

blush Updated, thanks for the correction audrey.

I think he's talking about having to use C for Python's core code.
