We recently implemented a subset of JQ in Clojure, converting filters and functions into Clojure predicates to allow our users to apply (K)JQ queries directly to Kafka topics holding JSON-like data (e.g Avro, Json, Transit, etc). If it&#x27

Be sure to let me know when you launch, I'd love to see what you've built. Good luck!

I founded operatr.io. Our product, static site, and licensing systems are entirely built in CLJ/CLJS. JVM, brower, lambda, etc. Like JWR I feel there's absolutely zero chance we could have built this product as effectively in my p

I'm not sure how indigenous cultures are represented in North America today but the map shows Iwi in New Zealand that are present day, not a historical artefact.

This is superb, and I'm only on page two. I'm thankful that Rich finds the time to produce his thoughtful content and I hope he has the opportunity to present this at HOPL-IV when it is rescheduled. The distinction between Informa

I think we might be clones. My self-funded business ( https://operatr.io ) is built in Clj/Cljs. From the product, to the static website, marketing emails, even the licensing runs Cljs on Node in AWS Lambda. I would have list

The apology is cheap, and there are no repercussions. It is business as usual. That's Australia. 46,000 year old Aboriginal caves dating back to the last ice ace, where 4,000-year-old braided hair had been found. The timelines of Austr

I was going to make a joke, but I've edited it to point out that Australia's care and consideration for Aboriginal artefacts is a disgrace. To save you a click: 'Mining giant Rio Tinto has apologised for blowing up 46,000-yea

Pelorus Bridge is the most beautiful swimming spot if you're ever in that part of the world. The bridge runs over the river which runs into the sound that Pelorus Jack was named after. https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-

This is the point. I still work in Java occasionally but I'm much more effective delivering in Clojure today - with 10 years experience, than I am in Java which I used my entire career. Same host environment, many of the same libraries

I can imagine to a degree, I have zero experience with Javascript and I found the practice of getting a Clojurescript REPL very complicated. Once I was set up I quickly became effective, though I do tend to stay within the bounds of Cljs an

I studied Java at University and then worked with it for 15 years through various companies, finance mostly. I like the language but the opportunities and my use of it felt very stale in the end. I switched to Clojure a decade ago, around t

I use node.js in AWS Lambda because I run Clojurescript on top of it. My application ( https://operatr.io/ ) is Clojure (JVM / Back-end), Clojurescript (Browser / Front-end), Clojurescript (AWS Lambda) - there'

Which Lisp flavour do you use Mark? I worked in Java for 15 years before moving to Clojure a decade ago. I find it superbly powerful to be able to leverage the JVM and the Browser with the same language.

Is there a difference between 'raises' and 'borrows'? I read this as Tesla took investment of $1.8B (presumably in return for shares), but in this case they have issued $1.8B of bonds, so they've effectively taken o

Cassandra has a range of anti-entropy repair processes that run periodically, that's broadly speaking enough in my case. I don't require last-write-wins. It's an immutable time series with no updates, no deletes.

by d_t_w 9y ago
I have a system which computes over an immutable time series and stores the results in Cassandra, which I treat as the source of truth. I think it's fair to call it a DB.

Is it really that bad? I'm not American so perhaps I missed the decline, I've only noticed them breaking a number of stories recently (previous month for example) that all seem fairly credible, albeit often via anonymous sources.

I appreciate the contrast you are drawing with that comparison, it's a clever one. It seems that we agree that, in isolation, the caricature of two bare-footed, slack-jawed, slovenly, drunk, ignorant, impoverished indigenous Australian

If he's a moderator, he can shut this thread down if he likes. In my opinion my experience adds some context. On reflection I'd be happy to change 'crap' for terrible and so on, but I can't edit that (historical tim
