My exposure to Lua is limited around writing Hammerspoon scripts. Lua is nice but I really wanted to write those scripts in a Lispy language, maybe something Clojurescque. Has anyone done Hammerspoon …

Oh yeah, Rich Hickey's famous: "hammock time"

I've been writing code for long time. No tool or methodology has helped me to become more focused, organized, productive and predictable as Org-mode. I do not start a task without clocking in or …

I've done it recently using Hammerspoon, if anyone interested https://github.com/agzam/spacehammer …

don't forget Clojurescript employs Google Closure compiler that has the best in the market dead-code elimination. Code on prod can be pretty small.

I had a bicycle accident once. My arm got swollen. I called nearby offices and couldn't find a single doctor who could see me immediately. I went to ER hoping they'd give me some ointment or…

You just need to know about these keys on Youtube: Pressing ">" speeds up the video, "<" - slows it down. "f" - toggles fullscreen, "c" - captions. You ca…

Try Spacemacs

> You can make it act exactly like vim if you wanted to Thanks to Spacemacs, Emacs is already better Vim than Vim itself. I know what I'm talking about. I'm a die-hard vimmer.

Clojurescript today is probably the best, most pragmatic choice to do web dev in. It's not difficult to learn, FFI isn't cumbersome, compiled code is extremely optimized, tooling is pretty n…

Anyone who wants to grow anything in a tank should read this incredible book: "Ecology of the planted aquarium" by Diana Walstad. If you don't know what aquascaping is about, try googli…

Chromium is

I'm not trying to persuade people to stay in Spacemacs. I'm asking to try it. It has some nice ideas that I would've definitely tried to re-implement in Vim myself, if I would've c…

I skimmed through the comments, looked at code examples - they hurt my eyes. Read arguments of Scala people. Read about C# vs Java. For the life of me I don't get it. Why people simply wouldn…

anything similar for Emacs?

Well, in every blogpost about a editor or IDE there's gotta be someone who starts a flamewar. It's my turn I guess. I am a diehard Vimmer. I use Vi bindings system-wide. I've been using…

Clojure being a Lisp has the ability to adapt to whatever future throws at it. Whatever you could do in any other language (in the same domain), Clojure debatably would do it better.

Maybe they finally fix their crappiest android app. Or open api for third-party developers, because obviously Twitter doesn't know shit about designing apps.

I didn't even know about Rich Hickey talks and "Simple made easy" when I decided to start learning Clojure. I came to conclusion that I needed to learn a Lisp after learning Emacs and d…

> its march has stalled Clojure being a Lisp probably exceeded and overachieved its goals when it comes to popularity. Sadly, not a single Lisp probably will ever become a mainstream. And for the s…

according StackOverflow survey - Clojure developers are the most well paid in the industry. What a miserable failures they are.

One thing that was a personal shocker for me to hear, from not just anyone, but Matthias Felleisen himself - "My research group has investigated the topic for almost 3 decades, and we came to the…

well written!

two words: Kinesis Advantage

Headless coming to Firefox. I suspect Puppeteer would support it too very soon.

Yes, Clojure(script)'s REPL experience is really amazing. I don't think there are any general-purpose languages (beside Common Lisp) actively being used today that even come close in compari…

I have once worked at a startup where CTO literally forbade me writing any unit tests. - "We're not a consultantcy shop, we're trying to build our own product, we don't have time t…

Companies (should) try to hire people who are willing to work at either side. Fungibility of the team is more important than an individual's level of expertise. "Experts" have tendency …

Clojure doesn't have slow start-up, Leiningen and Boot-clj make it feel slow. But once you start a REPL you can keep it running. I keep mine running for weeks.

if you're on OSX you can install an app called Muzzle. it silences all notifications
