Re: Wolfram: 100 years since Principia Mathematica
He may have some interesting points but... Anyone who makes grandiose claims and can't bother to give credit to the people who have helped them along the way deserves to be ignored. My feelings exactly. His perception of himself seems self-aggrandizing as well. Why is John Carmack the only person to have made millions on software that he later open-sourced?? Just my two cents. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: Moderately off-topic: installing emacs on OSX
I don't use OS X so I can't comment on such a consensus, but while I appreciate the sentiment, it's actually harmful to some degree to have lots of blog posts scattered around everywhere that all have slightly different advice, especially since that advice usually becomes outdated within the year. Speak for yourself. Whenever I need to install SCIM on someone's computer I pull up three conflicting blog posts and just combine elements of all of them. I strongly suggest improving the docs on the Clojure wiki instead; that way errors can be fixed by the community. Why does the one preclude the other? Also, if people aren't going to blog about Clojure, what future does it have? Sorry if this is a bit academic, but I was rather looking forward to javajosh's blog post...

Re: Posted the Bowling Game Kata in Clojure w/ Video. Thoughts welcome. EOM
Because posting the link would make some modicum of sense… http://blog.twonegatives.com/post/2168030248/kata ^_^ Excellent blog post. I have yet to read Dave Thomas's book, though it's very high on my list. One note: As a fairly seasoned amateur of pretty much anything East Asian I object to the idea that 'kata' is Japanese in nature. The word/concept in English is, sorry to say it, an example of modern Orientalism, and just as much a product of a European image of Japan as it is Japanese. In Japanese, the word 'kata' is quite meaningless on its own. As such, the fact that as Europeans/Americans we'd use a Japanese word for this concept (rather than a Chinese, Korean, or English one) is also an example of modern Orientalism. Sigh... great blog post though. Alec -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: Downloadable Clojure mp3s
I use audio in much the same way. On the other hand, I hardly listen to music. I have nothing to contribute, but would be interested in seeing what people end up posting. I suppose extracting the audio track from a video lecture is in most cases a pretty good idea... (after all, if Feynman were alive today and still giving lectures, I'm sure people would do it just as readily as they'd purchase his 'complete lectures') maybe the people who own the rights to those videos wouldn't mind if the Clojure community made a place for all of these.

Re: Wolfram: 100 years since Principia Mathematica
Thought some Clojure folk might enjoy this: http://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2010/11/100-years-since-principia-mathematica/ Though I don't use Clojure (I follow this list out of curiosity), I have a hard time imagining why anything Wolfram writes is interesting, and furthermore why any a user of any not-so-mainstream language would find it interesting, and even furthermore why a mathematician would. And in mathematics, the difference between open-source and closed-source is more important, for the reason that any part of a mathematical solution that cannot be fully examined is fatal to the result. --http://www.arachnoid.com/sage/ Sorry if members of this group consider this off-topic, but I honestly couldn't restrain myself... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.
