I briefly tested the base M1 Air with 8gb of ram (bought for my wife) - enough to get my day-to-day stuff up and running. I’m comparing a 2017 MacbookPro, dual-core i5 with 16GB of RAM. Brew: under Rosetta everything seems to work Java&#x2F

Camera and screen have nothing to do with CPUs, right? And battery is also compared to size, so difficult to compare. AFAIK, iPhones do have the fastest benchmarks (and the smoothest experience) across all phones.

This is a great opportunity to use new languages and get a feel of how communities take on newcomers! I tried Clojure a few years back and I got a warm welcome, so I'd like to extend an invitation to anyone considering using Clojure fo

I ran across http://www.hedycode.com/ which is another take on kid-friendly programming languages. I ran the first few examples and it looked interesting - plus it runs in a browser so no archeology needed :)

Hehe I do agree with you though. As a Greek living abroad, I wouldn’t mind eating Feta that’s made in Turkey, Bulgaria, Albania etc (neighboring countries which share a lot of the culinary/pastoral tradition), as long as I knew that th

Feta is not a region in Greece. Feta is a type of cheese that has the whole of Greece as the terroir. It’s also made with sheep and goat milk and the cow-based cheese that resembles it (white cheese, salad cheese etc) just doesn’t compare t

Huh, when did this happen? I deleted cloud servers via the GUI a few months ago as we are migrating stuff to AWS, but I still have some clients on Rackspace.

The difference is solely on the workflow. Using the rich comment approach you setup some state, fiddle around, change a function, invoke it again, store some arguments in a variable, change the function again, split it into two functions an

Obligatory Clojure plug :) Most, if not all, code from 5 years ago runs with no changes whatsoever. The stewards of Clojure heavily advocate and practice “stable” development where backwards compatibility is a requirement. Combined with the

Do all that, of course. But when you’re writing applications for other people, go buy a shitty middle of the pack laptop, resolution 1280x768, with the windows start bar and menu bars eating like 150pixels of that, and try to use your softw

Clojure does hot code reloading as a built in. You essentially send code to a running system and you change it. It’s enabled by a dynamic class loader. I wouldn’t say it’s common outside of Clojure though, the whole language and ecosystem i

Well, sure, for hello world! But these days anything you do with CLJS will involve the data structures, which is what brings in the dependencies :)

ClojureScript has a baseline which you cannot go under. Can’t remember the exact number but it’s something like 250k (advanced compilation but not gzipped). For this you get the immutable data structures, and a decent chunk of the standard

One issue with Enterprise Software that I've experienced is that all subcontractors are scrutinised and have to be listed in contracts, clients has to be notified/approve changes etc. I would love to pay you money but run this som

Any suggestions on what that library/language could be?

It’s not meaningless words - it’s common English words that are overloaded and I think considering their position in sentences instead would give better results. I haven’t yet tried TFIDF though so I’ll see what that will do.

by orestis 7y ago
It might be that the corpus I was trying to cluster needs better preprocessing, or perhaps better n-grams. Using Bigrams only I saw a lot of common words that were meaningless, but adding them as stop words made the results worse. Hence my

Are there examples on how this can be used for topic modeling, document similarity etc? All the examples I’ve seen (gensim) use bag-of-words which seems to be outdated.

Can confirm -- people (used to) build apartments with extensions in mind, so you would get a permit and plans for a 3-story building, then only build the first two floors. The third floor would then be built 10 years later for children&#x2F

There’s a library called hx that embraces hooks and the native React way. You still write hiccup, but you get a React functional component.

Join the beginners channel in Clojurians slack, there are many patient people there volunteering to help with things like this. Try out Calva for VS code, read the official REPL guide here https://clojure.org/guides/rep

I like the checklist nature of this. I approached this problem from another side, which involved a very powerful REPL, but lacked the structure this shows: https://orestis.gr/clojure-unlocking-incremental-automation/

Any opinions on that cloud architecture solution service? Would you recommend it for a company with very little AWS experience?

I'm exploring ClojureScript on both client (browser) and server (node). Or perhaps, some day, https://github.com/clojerl/clojerl .

Wow, that's crazy - this is/was an internal project of the (now defunct) Resolver Systems [1] - now pivoted to Python Anywhere [2]. I remember working briefly on this when I was pairing with William - it does indeed implement the
