vijaykiran··on Leantime: Open-Source Jira Alternative
What exactly is the problem with AGPL if you just want to use it within your environment/company? It is no different than other OSS licenses in that sense.
vijaykiran··on What happens in your dog’s brain when you speak
Same with my dog, I always “talk” to him and he’s pretty good at vocabulary so far.

vijaykiran··on Vulnerability in the Mac Zoom client allows malicious websites to enable camera
Just to be sure, I don't think that's enough. You might want to kill the running process and remove the binary (as described under "Quick Fix" section in the blog post)
vijaykiran··on Problem Solving and Clojure 1.9 with Rich Hickey
I tend to disown because we call the podcast _irreverant_ for a reason :)
vijaykiran··on Problem Solving and Clojure 1.9 with Rich Hickey
If you consider Clojure Lisp-related there's https://m.soundcloud.com/defn-771544745 (disclaimer: I'm a co-host) and there is http://blog.cognitect.com/cognicast/ from Cognitect (the company that stewards Clojure)

Did you mean Stuart Sierra? :-)
vijaykiran··on Udash – Scala and Scala.js Reactive Web Framework
From my non-substantial experience in Clojure and Scala, I'd say that Clojure is simpler and faster to learn and get productive quickly than Scala. Scala has lot more syntax and concepts that you need to grok compared to simplicity of Clojure.

I'm curious why you say Clojure has a steep learning curve.

I use https://github.com/amperser/proselint with emacs fly check support + e-prime mode.

vijaykiran··on A Badass Way to Connect Programs Together
Side A: I use http://chengyinliu.com/whatfont.html to quickly check the fonts on a page with Safari, other browsers may have similar tools too.
vijaykiran··on Please do not delete this commented-out version
I guess you meant:

  #_((def some-state (create-state))
     (some-fn [1 2 3])
     (do-something some-state))
oh, and you can't have "invalid" code in (comment), but in #_ you can.
vijaykiran··on Clojure 2015 Year in Review
One primary thing I was interested in "visual-structural editing" at least presenting the program as a nice "pipeline" of functions.

I've been a fan of (disappearing) Cocoa-built IDEs (http://lists.apple.com/archives/java-dev/2007/Aug/msg00025.h... was another one)

vijaykiran··on Clojure 2015 Year in Review
I forked it in the hope of keeping track of it - but the "Whatever" commits weren't that encouraging. :)
vijaykiran··on Clojure 2015 Year in Review
Isn't it this: https://github.com/vijaykiran/Leviathan ? I briefly played with code, but never got time to hack on it.
vijaykiran··on Cultures of Code
I'm not sure if I understand your workflow - but the page also has a link to PDF, may be that works for you.

vijaykiran··on Emacs Is My New Window Manager
I think I had sluggish behaviour sometime ago - but the updates to the config are happening at a very fast pace. I'm a pretty happy user. Also, the chat on https://gitter.im/syl20bnr/spacemacs is very active too, may be someone there could answer your specific questions (if you haven't asked already).

EDIT: you can also disable the packages you don't need, perhaps that's an option.

vijaykiran··on Emacs Is My New Window Manager
You might want to try https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs
vijaykiran··on The best editor is neither Emacs nor Vim, it's Emacs and Vim
You do need Emacs installed - First get it from http://emacsformacosx.com

vijaykiran··on Microsoft Band
Looks like online ordering is also US only for now.

No, there isn't any requirement to make them open source - but most of the apps are and available at https://github.com/clojurecup2014/
