    I do it. I always thought, "What's the harm? Everything important is over SSL these days". Apparently not!

    Pebble has a timer app that meets all your requirements. I use it for pomodoros, laundry, steeping tea, cooking rice, etc. Unbelievably handy.

    Think of strings in JavaScript. Those are already immutable: var fooString = "foo"; var secondFooString = fooString; secondFooString; // => "foo" fooString = "bar"; secondFooString…

    Looks like Sablono, which provides a Hiccup-style syntax you can use with Om, is your best bet there: https://github.com/r0man/sablono

    Interesting perspective, thanks. I suspect it depends on whether you're more used to langs like Ruby, Python, JavaScript (which are more like Clojure) or Java (which is more like S…

    Did you ever look at Clojure? If not, why not? If so, what didn't you like? While Clojure surely has a bigger learning curve than Go, it's much simpler and more approachable than S…

    Congrats on your company's success! However, I'm surprised that you single out a 40-hour work week as though it's something exceptional. Isn't that the standard? I would never cons…

    As a fellow Clojurist, I agree with the substance of what you're saying here but wish you could express it in a more friendly manner. Both your comments essentially say "you're wro…

    > Immutable arrays, where the entire array must be copied with the change of one element, are an example of that. Only in a naive implementation. Clojure, for example, has a persis…

    Music. You can have hundreds of thousands of fans and still not be able to quit your day job.

    It suddenly occurs to me that "startup" is the new "indie", or "viral". It's become a genre rather than a descriptor of the source of the content.

    It's true that historically "he" has often been used a generic pronoun, but singular "they" also has a long history. I'd start with this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org…

    Cryptocat was and is open source too: https://github.com/cryptocat/cryptocat That doesn't solve the problem. No one is going to manually view source and compare it every time they …

    Same here. After checking in a local ClojureScript REPL, I just changed the URL to sequence-comprehensions/6 and went on.

    Awesome site! Having done a few Clojure projects lately, I got most of these right immediately, but there were a few I messed up. It would be cool if you could go through these fla…

    Hmm... did this site get served a secret warrant last week? Or did they just forget to update their warrant canary? https://mediacru.sh/transparency/warrant-canary.txt (Note: the d…

    Isn't that Y Combinator, or any startup accelerator?

    Shoot, no patch for the 1.2.x series? That's disappointing. It's not that old, is it? I feel like I upgraded to 1.2.x, which was then the newest stable branch, just over a year ago…

    If you're going to comment mentioning it, you should probably tell people what it is :) For those who haven't seen it, Nightcode is a new, open-source Clojure and Java IDE written …
