I am guessing that the student in question was from India. That's how many Indians write official/business letters; likely a relic of the colonial times.

According to the author's update, it will cover core.logic - http://blog.fogus.me/2013/02/08/moar-joy/

Of course. His real name is Farokh Balsara.

And he clearly is a very interesting man - http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/47370000/jpg/_47370392...

The court judgement is ambiguous as hell. It doesn't mention either the website or the software that the plaintiff had tried to download.

This is how they explained the situation -

"The complainant has taken network service connection for his mobile since 5 years and subscribed for GPRS service. He tried to download an application from website using his phone GPRS service through torrent."

Bittorrent through GPRS? Mind boggling.

It took core.logic ~1100 msecs on my Macbook Air.

There is the :const metadata -

This is the THX sound synthesised using Overtone, a music synthesis program.

Etags are useful for static assets as well.

I am more excited about ETags support than SPDY & Websockets. Etags (when used correctly) are extremely handy.

+1.

Something like `(uuid "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000")` can't be carried around as data whereas `#uuid "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"` can be.

Think about data interchange between Clojure & ClojureScript.

We have been using Mailgun at our startup for a month now and to say that I am very satisfied with Mailgun would be an understatement. Mailgun rocks and I would highly recommend it for any startup.

A great computer scientist != a great programmer.

It basically shows the number of seats left in the same fare-basis. The problem is with the communication, and not the supposed "algorithm".

That's not true (at least not any more). You now get an account on Manning the first time you buy a book and you can download the electronic versions of those books any time from your account.
