This is a really great looking service. I couldn't find a contact form that wasn't for sales inquiries, but I thought you might like to know that your website is extremely buggy on…

Ah, yes, I remember now that this happened with Yosemite too. I had to let the install finish over night. Thank you for the timely reminder.

Enlive and related libraries for Clojure, Lift for Scala, and heist for Haskell use node transformation. I know that there are a few others I'm forgetting. Basically given a fragme…

In terms of languages that facilitate doing work concurrently or in parallel with the HTTP request/response cycle: - Java / Scala / Clojure - Go - Erlang (add Elixir if you are com…

I'm teaching my kids how to program using the 2nd edition because it's the introduction to programming that I always wish I had received. They love it! Thanks.

This article contains so many elements of a Borges story that by the second paragraph I assumed I was reading a work of fiction. Upon further reflection, it seems plain that, while…

I haven't gone through the course so I can't vouch for it, but perhaps this is of interest: http://bitfountain.io/course/ios-design/?couponCode=general For people who purchased the…

Indeed. Not being familiar with that particular passage, my thought would be that he means, his uncle does not consider the status-signaling property of "beautiful" (and expensive)…

As Horace wrote around 14 BC: Graecia capta ferum victorem cepit et artes intulit agresti Latio. - Ep. II.i.156 "Greece, once conquered, herself conquered the artless victor, and p…

I haven't read it, but the developer of Luminus (a collection of libraries, not a framework) authored this fairly recently: Web Development with Clojure: Build Bulletproof Web Apps…

For those looking for some additional recommendations that are "literary" (by which I mean, densely allusive and layered with meaning, yet not painfully self-conscious or lacking i…

It is definitely thought-provoking on the subject of computation and human culture; it's also really enjoyable. It's available for free under a Creative Commons license: http://www…

What a strange fit of pique. I make extensive use emacs chords to navigate in the shell, and I show them to people all the time if they seem curious. It never occurred to me to be …

Wagtail's authoring interface and Django's admin coexist. I believe the demo sets up the Wagtail interface at /admin and puts the standard admin at /django-admin. Presumably you ca…

I'm not on the team, but I've used both. I would be interested in seeing both maintainer's answer to this, too. At a high level, I can see how there might have been a bit of fricti…

It's not like django-cms or various PHP-based CMS (Conrete5 comes to mind) where a template defines "slots" into which an administrator can drop different type of content widgets. …

Have you looked at http://www.chicagoboss.org ? "Chicago Boss is the answer to slow server software: a Rails-like framework for Erlang that delivers web pages to your users as quic…

The most striking similarity is the template syntax, it uses an Erlang implementation of Django templates. I think it draws some inspiration from Django's "batteries included" phil…

It sounds like you are comparing Zotonic to Django in an apples-to-apples sort of way, so I'm not sure why you don't consider it to be a framework. I think that it's definitely a f…

Very high failure rate (including one case where my wife called the fire department because something was burning in the house and she couldn't identify it), warm up time, and has …

Great, that's what I was hoping. The client is planning to stick with iOS devices so I may not test much cross-browser, but it's good to know we'll have options. Again, thanks for …

First of all, thanks for this @yesiamhuman, I came across it a few days ago just when I was despairing of finding something with the right look and feel (somebody mentioned it in a…

But close enough, if I understand, that an average Greek speaker might have accepted the statement as true, in the way that an average American English speaker might agree that "sa…

This is music to accompany spoken poetry, so the it's not necessarily comparable to opera or pop music, where the voice is used as an instrument. In Greek lyric poetry the syllable…

This is a great talk by Stuart Halloway on what sets emacs apart from typical editors/IDEs. It's 25 minutes and well worth the time. http://vimeo.com/1013263
