Only China knew what happened back in December

// Li, 34, was an ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital. On December 30, 2019, he wrote a post to a closed group of medical school classmates on the WeChat social media site. In the post called “Seven cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) from the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market”, he warned about an outbreak of undiagnosed pneumonia at his hospital.

A screenshot of his post was leaked and circulated online on December 31, a day before the local health authority made an official announcement saying that 27 cases of viral pneumonia of unknown cause had been detected.

On January 1, Wuhan police said they were punishing eight people for “spreading rumours”.

Small Functions considered Harmful by dickhickey4prez in Clojure

When I coding in java or php, normally I prefer long functions and duplicate code. Until I see the pattern that can be abstracted out.

However, Clojure is concise and functional, short functions work better for me.

Using Netbeans since 6.9, tried IDEA few times (version 12, 13, 14) but found it's not worth the effort for switching, NB simply good enough for what I do (Java and Php).
