Favorite new command of the day: git config --list --show-origin It tells you where all the values are coming from ♥💖

New programming concepts often arrive named as negations of what came before (immutability, serverless, NoSQL). That leaves us stuck with terminology that emphasises innovations of implementation and leaves the value of the new approach implicit.

Here's a small reminder that the "State of CIDER" survey is open until next Monday. Over the weekend we got 350 responses, but I really hope to make it all the way to 1000 by the end of the week. The survey is here forms.gle/Cp6DW2zGUQkh42… Your opinion means a lot to us!

Elements of Clojure @elementsofclj

In theory, a namespace can hold an unlimited number of functions as long as none of them share the same name. In practice, namespaces should hold functions that share a common purpose so that the namespace lends narrowness to the names inside it.

If a function crosses data scope boundaries, there should be a verb in the name. If it pulls data from another scope, it should describe the datatype it returns. If it pushes data into another scope, it should describe the effect it has.

I really like Architecture Decision Records adr.github.io * Making a decision as a team * Choosing the best one for the system as it exists today * Recording not only WHY the decision was made but also trade offs that occur because of the decision.

[1/4] Ok this is really funny, check this out. I was in the process of booking a flight via @OneTravel. Trying to make me book ASAP, they claimed: "38 people are looking at this flight". Whoa, 38 is a lot, I have to hurry up. But first I have to check how they came up with 38 >>

Why did Clojure distinguish between namespaces and keywords like `:some.nested.namespace/keyword` and `:some.nested.namespace.keyword`? It seems to be a way to distinguish a container from a value, but containers are nested values. #clojure #namespacing

It's surprising how often companies strong-arm new hires into uncomfortably aggressive start dates. Sure, there is a lot of work to do and the clock is ticking. I always encourage leaving on good terms: colleagues are equipped to succeed, bridges aren't burned, stress is low.

Hey twitter, what resources do you recommend for learning about Datalog? Especially free &/or online? I've been asked this a few times now & I don't have a good answer. I feel like I mostly learned by word of mouth.

Design is not just the design of the thing, but the footprint of the thing. The car is not just a car, but the infrastructure necessary for cars. Vast stretches of land subjugated to asphalt and white paint, where things once stood.

When we watch TV, our TVs watch us back and track our habits. This practice has exploded recently since it hasn’t faced much public scrutiny. But in the last few days, not one but *three* papers have dropped that uncover the extent of tracking on TVs. Let me tell you about them.

Historically, we've always been free to reimplement each others' APIs. Oracle is trying to take that right away from all of us. Sadly, the Solicitor General briefed the Supreme Court not to hear the case. SCOTUS could still hear it, but it's not likely. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/1…
