Fun project! I also used Clojure for a transit status project - calling the REST API of my local bike share system to display how many bikes were in the nearest station. Clojure is great for exploring and transforming that kind of data. On

You stopped short of the worst of them! e.g. 97 is assembled from 4 parts. Quatre-vingt-dix-sept (4 20 10 7).

I enjoyed those too.. for example, Onion (Union) Square, not too far from where I live. I talked for a while with Sussman at a Clojure conference last year, partly to let him know I enjoyed his presentation, but also to ask how his co-autho

Nice! The direct use of symbols makes the data set look unlike most Clojure code, but it's really pretty handy in this case. I'll have to remember that. Btw, love the joke names from the (original) data set: Alyssa P Hacker, Cy D

Very nice indeed! Fun to see this implementation in Clojure direct from SICP. Someday I hope somebody completes SICP in Clojure. AFAICT it's been attempted many times but none have finished. Btw, miniKanren from Reasoned Schemer has lo

I suppose you heard from the right wing echo chamber that Tlaib called for the destruction of Israel and just passed that lie along uncritically as though it were a call for bombing or overthrow. Do your homework. It was actually a call for

Trump is so eloquent, yet you feel the need to double down on your spin to help him out? And talk about simpleton narratives, only a simpleton would swallow whole the idea that trump was just making a sincere plea for gathering and sharing

False. What he said: "Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough.&quot

Yikes, $16, that's terrible. Movies in Cambridge, MA (includes many indie and foreign selections) can be had for $9 if you go to a matinee, or buy in books of 25, or patronize a local restaurant. They also have give away free ticket gi

Makes no sense to measure from day of taking office. With a 1 year offset, Trump's market goes from performing "very well" to the erratic mess that it has been ever since.
