The first time I read Anathem it was certainly slow to get through the first 200 pages, because I kept referencing the glossary to learn the vocabulary. The 2nd and 3rd times I read it the entire book flowed much more smoothly, and even the beginning was quite enjoyable.

Can we please knock it off with the linkbait titles?

I get a completely blank page when js is disabled.

True. I was more referring to it being a confirmation that this is an email address that anyone cares about.
If I wanted to be truly malicious I'd have my online checker return a "Nope, you're all good" and then add that email address to the short list of accounts to go after.

I'm not sure how that would help. They would have to generate a matching hash on their end, giving them a lookup table to work backwards from hash to email address.
Now if they wanted to supply a list of hashes to the public, then you could check your own without knowing any of the other addresses used to generate the remaining hashes.

Presumably 0, since there are already people who can legitimately claim multiple years of experience with Swift.

This linkbait style of headline writing really needs to die.

The chart that is included is ridiculous. There's no label on the Y-axis at all, and zero indication of what it is we're supposed to take away from it.
Professor Tufte is weeping somewhere.

I can't speak to the Clojure introduction, because I was already semi-familiar with the language. However, I found your site via Google a few weeks ago when I was looking for an introduction to Emacs + Clojure. Having gone down this road several times in the past, I have to say that this is the best tutorial I've ever found on that topic.
The repl and window examples were just what I needed as a complete Emacs newbie. The Emacs chapter was similarly good. It seemed to be aimed at someone who wanted to start writing code quickly. This is the first time in years that I've worked through an Emacs tutorial without firing up vim to edit a config file (at which point I usually realize that I won't be switching to Emacs that day).
Thank you for taking the time to write all of this.

It looks like user Tobu already fixed it, but that is quite ridiculous.

On multiple occasions I've searched for an answer, found it on S.O., thought "this seems vaguely familiar," and then realized that it was my own answer from a couple years prior.
Saved me time the second time around I guess.
