There is also miniKanren, available as core.logic.
asciihacker··on Ask HN: Is jQuery still a thing?

    > I had to build an AJAX heavy part of the page, and got a bit lost in callbacks and DOM manipulations
Have you missed all the posts on intercooler.js - http://intercoolerjs.org/
asciihacker··on Intercooler.js – Making AJAX as easy as anchor tags

    <!-- When this button is clicked an AJAX POST request is sent to /example and the 
         response content is swapped in to the body of the button -->
    <button ic-post-to="/example">
        Click Me!
    </button>

But what if I want the response to populate the content of another HTML element? E.g. if I wanted an accordion-style FAQ where when you click on the question (or on a plus-sign before the question), the div below the question is loaded with the answer from the server via AJAX.

William Basinski "Watermusic II" is wonderful!
asciihacker··on Music for Programming
I'd never heard of Roedelius. Kind of an interesting minimalist piano style. Very likeable. I'm listening to "self-portrait" (or at least that's my translation of the German).
asciihacker··on Google’s former happiness guru's three-second brain exercise for finding joy

    > The idea of savoring experiences is a good start.
Sort of. But real Buddhist mindfulness would call that 'savoring' craving. Nirvana lies in lack of attachment to the rise and fall of phenomena, not savoring the rise.

and here's mine. Torch up a phatty and inhale.

    > I'd bet it's inversely proportional to the number of things we have available to worry about.
When I was financially free I almost went crazy from lack of stress.
asciihacker··on PurpleJS – A JavaScript application framework running on the JVM

    > Combine the power of Java and your existing investments with the simplicity of JavaScript.
I would much rather use Clojurescript and Clojure to cover this technical area.
asciihacker··on Google's “Director of Engineering” Hiring Test
Beyond even that, Google is in sore need of some creative people with business sense. They continually create and cancel products. And the products they create in general just dont fly. Besides email, search engine and ads, they just fluster about confusedly.

    > They asked me the same questions back in 2012. I was applying for a Java developer position.
OMFG.

I dont see the application myself either. Why not leverage existing robust technologies like a relational database?

>It has a flagship SoC rather than a mid-tier SoC.

What is "SoC" an abbreviation for?

Also see PlantUML, which also has experimental code generation tech.

I fought like hell to install all the deps before throwing in the towel.
asciihacker··on Police complaints drop over 90% after deploying body cameras
It seems that the body cam often "falls off" just before the cops tase, beat the shit out of, or kill someone.
asciihacker··on Germany Says No Bailouts for Deutsche Bank or Any Other Struggling Lenders
Yes, a bank is a business not a charity. Customer service is important but saving their own skin appears to matter more.
asciihacker··on Modern Functional Programming: The Onion Architecture

    > Beginning at the center, each layer is translated into one or more languages with lower-level semantics.
    ORM mapping into Java?
An ORM would not have lower-level semantics would it?

I'm enjoying watching the boundaries talk, especially when he converts the serial code the concurrent code using actors.
asciihacker··on China’s Plan to Make the Yuan the World’s Go-To Currency
can you elaborate on what real estate bubble you are talking about please?
asciihacker··on 69% of Americans Have Less Than $1,000 in Savings Accounts
Holding wealth in the dollar means holding wealth in a depreciating asset. Gold, silver, bitcoin, real estate, etc much preferred.

But given that my income and expenses are head up (at the moment), I'm in the same boat ... 7k net in and 7k out, a lot of which is me re-buying my own CC debt with loans from lending club, etc.

asciihacker··on Say hello to Google Allo: a smarter messaging app
> one of the main reasons we tend to use WhatsApp and Slack, even for corporate communications as silly as that sounds -- because you can type long messages on it on the keyboard/desktop but also have access to it on the go.

WhatsApp does not run on tablets... period.

asciihacker··on Investing for Geeks

asciihacker··on Haskell vs. Clojure (2014)
>If you want to get shit done, and make sure the types are correct, and make sure all side effects are properly managed and accounted for, that's Haskell's niche.

Dont Clojure's immutable types handle the side-effect issues well? Without the contortions that Haskell puts you through.
