I got kinda intimidated with the Asciidoc toolchain that I instead just wrote a bit of Clojure to call the Java AsciidocJ API. A tiny script that did what I want (make Reveal slides) and it's simple/straightforward and I guess cro

But have any of the issues the article addresses been smoothed out? The guy basically built a whole macro layer to make inkscape less clunky

by geokon 4y ago
okay, i think we understand each other. It's an interesting thought experiment. And you're right that probably the majority of Clojure libs do involve interop. Thanks for taking the time to write :)

Thanks for the insight. It seems to match my understanding Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't typically interact with the host directly when using core data structures. If you were to rewrite those for instance in terms of lis

by geokon 5y ago
Maybe it's a bit naiive, but I'd imagine having a small-core interpreted Clojure and different host implementation would incrementally overload functionality and reimplement using the host's features. But the design (granted

I'm surprised people have managed to port Clojure to so many platforms. Seems like a ton of work! :) From what I understand the vanilla JVM implementation isn't built around a small core. So it's not like porting a Scheme. Al

I think you're just guessing In the link you provide the first picture "An unclipped siliqua" it's clearly not round and off center If anything the clipped ones are rounder and more symmetric

Anyone know why they had so much trouble making the coins round? In fact I feel a lot of ancient metal work looks a bit non-symmetric (dare I say sloppy?) - though there doesn't seem to be any technical limitation at play

Not my area of expertise, but in my limited experience DEM tiles are usually GeoTIFF. This can be 16bit greyscale. The catch is that these are actually signed... Elevation doesn't start at 0meters bc you have locations below sea level

oh that's really cool. What's the driver situation with something like that? On Linux do I just write to some file and it's mapped to some hardware pins? Or it's more complicated than that?

As far as I can tell, it has no output pins. So it's not comparable to Raspberry Pi (or other ARM SBCs). More akin maybe to an Android TV box? Short of making something through USB - you can't make your own header boards or easily

I don't understand your complaint. Are you regularly finding bugs in the runtime and in the core libraries? If you compiled to byte code how would that makes anything easier? Or you're just annoyed that stacks includes Java frames

What do you feel the "choice" with vaccines was? So even if they overlooked the politics/"optics", I don't think they could go to the Western pharmaceutical companies and just ask for 3 billion doses. With boos

So what is the difference between this and JNA? I assume it's not the same since it's taking a while to be added to the language
586.
by geokon 5y ago
If you are working with a crappy language then that's probably true. But it doesn't have to be a lot of boilerplate and it can be local in scope. In Clojure it's a one-liner. (extend-protocol libA/stringable

I'm sorry, but this whole comment section is in some collective psychosis from 2010. You don't need to mangle variable names or create custom types (and then the insane machinery to have them all interact properly) Have none of yo

So then the question is.. why have R/Python/etc. reinvented the wheel with their own datatable structures instead of using SQL?
592.
by geokon 5y ago
Right! the dplyr functionality seems to match 1-to-1 to what a cursory look at SQL told me - hence my confusion as to why they reinvented the wheel instead of using an industry standard The async table access is an interesting angle - assum

Oh the course starts today.. Is there way to view the lectures without enrolling? Just more generally, do you have some mental model when you move from using something like a dataframe to using SQL? For instance people working in R rarely t

So uhh, when are you gunna use a dataframe and when will you stick to SQL? My understanding is that SQL can sorta do a very powerful (and standardized/fast) subset of what a dataframe can

Piggybacking.. What's a good resource to learn SQL from scratch? Maybe out of ignorance, but in all the years I've programmed I've never had a situation when I said to myself "I need a database"! I either have data

In Clojure you can use JavaFX through cljfx https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx/ I haven't used React, but I think it's very similar. You have a state atom and then a datastructure that represents the GUI and

Oh right, I keep forgetting Nix has official stable channels :). I think they're pretty short lived though. 6 months from what I remember. Nonetheless definitely a leg up on GUIX. Thanks!

I'm not a unix guru, but from my experience with C++ build systems I feel the reproducible build thing seems completely at odds with rolling releases. When I have a reproducible built with C++/CMake/Hunter, what I want is a s

Oh okay, I see the distinction. The library would be interpreted and not compiled to JS - and I guess there would be a needless performance penalty. So it wouldn't be of much use outside of this particular scenario. Nonetheless it seem
