Canonical example is rewriting a non transducing set of collection transformations like (->> posts (map with-user) (filter authorized?) (map with-friends) (into [])) That’s five collections, this is two

The key insight behind transducers is that a ton of performance is lost not to bad algorithms or slow interpreters but to copying things around needlessly in memory, specifically through intermediate collections. While the mechanics of tran

Bizarre to call this an F-35 problem, it's with the entire US supply chain and the F-35 is the least of it. The F-35 at least has been produced in quantity and the unit cost has come down and they're finally rolling out some decen

What you say makes no sense by your own logic. 200 words can be wonderfully filled with wisdom or devoid of insight depending how much work and experience went into those words . So it is not appropriate to judge an author by the length of

I'm probably not the sort of person you're referring to, but I do regularly restart the REPL because 1. multimethods, if you change the dispatch fn you can't get it just with a recompile, there are tools to help with this but

I did Ctrl-F on "proof-of-work" in this thread to see if anyone had tried this, you seem to be the only one. Seems like a good precaution before sending even a verification email. Did you have to roll your own or was there some pr

The latest clojure still works with Java 8 fwiw... Although I believe they are looking at moving to 17 soon as minimum.

Yea, this book worked like a charm for me too. The author recently weighed in on what he’d cut and add to a future version - could be useful to anyone reading today, if they want to skip some things. https://www.reddit.com/r

Your pubs kindly return the favor when we order whiskey. As Hunter S Thompson is reported to have quipped in a bar your side of the Atlantic: "What is this, a sample?"

And - learn to sharpen it The place where I bought my knife offered a sharpening class and sold stones. It’s meditative to sharpen, keeps your knife in good condition (vs mechanized commercial sharpeners) and saves money (vs outsourcing it)

Whatever you call it, it’s plainly calling repeatedly to the server once loaded. You couldn’t just throw it on GitHub or cloudflare as is.

Wrong. Ajax requests to server triggered when using either. Nice try.

Despite the tech layoffs and rise of AI, programmer hubris is alive and well, that is heartening. Here we see three engineers writing — at length! — about a hugely complicated matter of law. No one outside your bubble cares what you think.

For context for those not aware, CIDER is probably the #1 Clojure repl in terms of popularity for day to day work.

Anthropic is free to set its own boundaries and military is free to say that’s absurd and we’re not buying things we cant control. Are you going to tell a farmer they are violating John Deere’s rights for boycotting their enshittified tract

by eduction 7mo ago
Yes that’s precisely what I’m saying. The government should fully control the systems it buys.

Calm down, reactionary. Yes our democratically appointed government gets to tell contractors what to do not vice versa. I’d much rather that than have the contractors run things. You think Blackwater, Lockheed, Mark Zuckerberg should dictat

Democracy doesn’t work so we should let a tech oligarchy run things? No thanks. I think it works better than that would.

Obsolete enterprise shit I guess includes podcasting. Impressive for the enterprise. I’d be very curious what lasting open formats JSON has been used to build.

So why would we want them setting policy for the DoD? Laws are enacted through a fundamentally democratic process defined over hundreds of years. Why wouldn’t that be the way to govern use of tools? Why would we want to trade our constituti

Slow down. If you read my comment it’s about an aggregate trend, not you or even your comment, which I don’t mention. Plenty of native speakers are slipping. (Fwiw the quality of your writing is pretty native feeling, so good work)

This will likely be deeply unpopular but: Good! The place to set policies on the use of hammers and police enforcement is not at the counter of the hardware store. “You want a hammer but don’t have a contractors license? Are you in a traini

“Fantastical” means based on fantasy: not real. A fantastical journalism source is one filled with lies. You seem to think it means “extra fantastic.” Not correct.
