Anyone know of something like Rails for a Lisp?

Go to the website for the department. For public colleges the syllabi have to be available. Sometimes this means poking an administrator.

But remember, they are top schools usually in spite of, not because of, the textbook selection.

We should distinguish between fastmail being down and access to it being down.

This does not happen to me and I have used Fastmail with Safari for seven years. Could be an interaction with an add-on? You also might try beta.fastmail.com.

Can you just make some page that doesn't save anything so we can see what you mean by "visual"? Or embed a youtube preview?

My phone is not a home. It’s a filament in a fabric of affordances. I rely on others to support those affordances. I pay for some of them with money. I don’t want a castle. I want a society.

Everyone's talking about recommendations. I don't use GoodReads recommendations at all. It's a social network with a focus on books where people will actually read and discuss books and book reviews. It's also a good way of chronicling what books you read. I wish they'd focus more on that part.

i guess more friction will wear the nub down more but it's not a big effect

What have you done with all these tools, so fitted to your workflows? What, other than the tools, have you made? How have these tools helped you build a better world for other people? There are new tools, now, yes, custom-made to fit your hands, but what of the rest of the world?

This relative percentage stuff is silly.

If the response to a question isn't actionable, it's a bad question, not a problem with the question's granularity.

Historical entrenchment is not a chance occurrence.

This will fall on deaf ears, but if you have to title a note, it's not a Zettelkasten.

Sure. Still saves space. Also closes over the envelope of their legal exposure.

Data exhaust older than a month is not monetizable for them. This lets them save space and seem nice while nothing changes.

Depends on what you mean by performance. The same speed with double or triple battery life would be worth it.

As a language it is a work of wonder and it focused and refines thinking about programming. Learning it will make you a better programmer in whatever language or paradigm you more commonly use.

As a tool for building things it varies. I only know about the web, and on the web it's probably best as a secondary language to do heavy lifting as a service rather that the backbone of a SaaS, where Django or Rails will get you where you want to be faster. Trying to do fairly common web stuff in Clojure is a lot more work and happens at a much lower level of abstraction, even if you use curated selections of libraries like Luminus. The focus on libraries over frameworks is enticing for some engineers who want to spend a long time building reliable and totalized systems, but for quickly building out features it leaves a lot to be desired. The ecosystem also assumes you are going to make an SPA in ClojureScript. (That said, Fulcro is fascinating if you are committed to the SPA way of doing things; the way it manages data flow seems unique, at least to me.)

Fitzcarraldo makes Times New Roman sing. It's fine if you give attention to other aspects of typography.

We would be a lot better off if this term went away.

The barrels of these crack easily. Go with TWSBI.

Lots of folks would argue that's a feature that exposes a problem in the conceptualization and modeling of a domain.

That doesn't seem like a feature.

Some of us never left. Reading this is weird, like someone "rediscovering" your suburban house.

This makes me miss CoffeeScript. Ah, well.

To relax.

You can use JRuby and then have access to both library ecosystems.

I agree with this.

I've collapsed everything to Workflowy for myself, and Basecamp for projects with collaboration, or that may someday need significant collaboration. Documentation lives in repos in text files. Everything else starts to feel like busywork.

Seriously. I would love to work at this level of abstraction in Clojure, but to do something that is trivial in Rails with something like Devise is a chore in Clojure, and you have to put it all together yourself. Of course this makes it excellent for learning, but not so great for deadlines. More and more I think I might've made a mistake trying to do basic CRUD web stuff in Clojure for my current project.

I'm talking about physically moving cards from one column to another. The skeuomorphism is preserved there.
