Just wanted to say thanks for making such awesome stuff! I've used clj/cljs/datomic on several projects over the years and it's been great.
The Clojure core team does not get anywhere close to the praise it deserves.

Hi Sam,
PG in some of his older articles was really big on Lisp being the most powerful programming language and instrumental to his success. His writing actually inspired me to learn Clojure.
In your experience, does the power of a programming language, in a software business, matter as much?
Thanks for doing this!
Re:Developing Our First iOS App with React Native

This is on the top of HN because people, like me, are interested in it. You say learn to do it the "right way", by that logic we should have stuck to making desktop only apps instead of browser based web apps. I'm not saying this is better or worse. But I certainly think it's an approach worth considering.

If you're from a war torn country have you considered applying for asylum? I know cases were asylum was granted to guys from my old country, India, which is by no means a war torn country.
I'm going through the immigration process right now and everyday Canada looks like a good option. I know it's not the US but it's still an awesome western country and has a reasonable immigration system.
Good luck!
Re:Parallels Between Math and Software Engineering
on Sunday August 09, 2015 @08:00PM (#10032013)
Interesting article. I always thought math felt like programming but in a language far higher level than any of the available programming languages. So like programming but with a lot less friction when going from thought to symbols.
For example, creating new domain specific control flows with Lisp macros versus defining a Dirac delta function using limits and integrals. In programming it's easy for bugs to seep in because there are more little/subtle details and leaky abstractions. But math on the other hand feels much more abstract and clean.
Perhaps this is just because dumb silicon boxes interpret our code and humans interpret our math which gives us a much more sophisticated base language to work with.
Re:Tech industry's persistent claim of worker shortage may be phony
on Monday August 03, 2015 @04:04AM (#9994358)
I think you misinterpreted what I said. All I said was, a degree is not a necessary or sufficient condition for being a great developer. Evidenced by the fact that there exist great developers without degrees. I'm not drawing any whacky conclusions about one group being "better" than another.
Also, for what it's worth I graduated with two technical degrees from descent university. Most of the developers I know have engineering degrees.
Re:Tech industry's persistent claim of worker shortage may be phony
on Monday August 03, 2015 @12:18AM (#9993770)
There is a major flaw in this article. Software developers are not cogs. Just because someone has an engineering degree does not make them just as good as any other developer. Being able to write great software usually comes from passion and practice, not a piece of paper that says "Computer Science BS". Some of the best developers I know didn't even get an engineering degree. Is there a shortage of people with pieces of paper? Maybe not. Is there a shortage of people that love writing software enough to spend most nights and weekends doing it? Yes.
This is based on my experience interviewing candidates for two small tech companies.

Not bad for an intro to linear algebra but he covers a lot of topics without diving into the details.

It really depends on what the software does. I've mostly seen people make money off of their open source software by consulting for companies that use it. For example, I know a couple companies paid the creator of core.typed to develop it further. But those were one off gigs, not recurring revenue.
Re:Gabriel's Horn
on Tuesday June 16, 2015 @06:52PM (#9729191)
Depends on how many of the laws of physics you want to ignore. The horn has infinite length and sound waves have a finite speed (assuming sound is defined as the usual compression wave through a medium). So a sound wave starting at the narrow end would take an infinite amount of time to reach the other end. But the sound it self shouldn't be anything special.
