Noob question: Can HTMX be used together with hyperfiddle?

There's a ton of time-series databases out there (or databases that can be used as TS databases). Anyone know where LinDB differentiates itself?

I don't quite understand the YJIT excitement. A few benchmarks show that TruffleRuby generally beats YJIT, sometimes by a 10x margin. [0]: https://eregon.me/blog/2022/01/06/benchmarking-cruby-mjit-y

Since everyone seems to throwing their favorite format into the ring (), I will too: EDN [0] * no enclosing element (i.e., can be streamed) * maps, lists, even sets * tags (like "Person". UUIDs and timestamps are built-in tags)

Yes, please. :) I got a 3rd party MagSafe replacement, but I didn't trust the quality of the pins.

Safety razor. I got this one: https://hensonshaving.com/ Pretty happy with it so far. Small learning curve.

If you want an (entertaining) deep dive into heat pumps, I can recommend Technology Connection's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43XKfuptnik and its followup, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFEHFsO-XSI

Yeah, that's strange to me too. In Clojure (similar conceptual mode with Ruby, with sequences, hashes, etc.), the code is very similar, with predictable results: Clojure 1.11.1 user=> (first []) nil user=> (first {})

The frustrating thing for me personally is that we--as an industry--just keep rewriting/porting the same pieces of software from one API to another. Here is was Flash -> Steam SDK. In another HN article, it was PlantUML (Java) to D

Clojure. Some many Clojure libs, and state-of-the-art Java libraries available through interop.

It seems like a lot of the anti-Clojure sentiment boils down to 1) lack of static typing, 2) poor IDE support. I'm wondering, though, doesn't the same apply to Ruby, Python, and Node projects? I've over-hauled 80k line Python

It's this really nice combination of bash, curl, and libraries for JSON, CSV, ZIP files, and almost everything else you could need. Full list at [0]. You can always spawn a shell too. It starts just as fast as Python too, if not faste

That's fair. I remember those damn Java applets that froze the entire computer for a minute while they started. But that was 20-30 years ago, literally. A few things happened: SSDs, and Java startup time. A warm-start Java "Hell

Everyone is waiting for WASM to support garbage-collection (GC) officially. =) Clojure has Javascript, JVM, .NET, LLVM, Arduino, GraalVM, etc. targets, so rest assured, a WASM version will come out as soon as it makes sense!

by the-alchemist 4y ago
From what I've noticed, the Clojure community has embraced GraalVM the most out of any of the Java community. Babashka, think bash+Clojure with built-in JSON+YAML+CSV+REST support, is very popular. https://github.com/ba

There's two pieces to GraalVM: 1. The new JIT 2. The Native Image, AOT Reflection is an issue for (2), not (1).

by the-alchemist 4y ago
Yeah, I bet the GraalVM JIT will be under a flag: -XX:EnableGraalJIT or something like that.

TLDR: Hot compost first until it reaches 150 deg F, with lots of carbon to make sure the C/N ratio is good.

Funny, I was just looking for a PT clojure dev.

Yeah, quite different. Technical as much as procedural and psychological. In a Clojure REPL, you navigate "modules" like directories. And each directory has "files", or vars you've defined. Basically 'cd&#x2

Some quick questions: - are you using an already-existing HTTP engine, like Jetty or Tomcat? - how do virtual threads fit into a web framework? - do virtual threads make debugging more difficult? (A more general JVM question, I suppose) - a

Funny enough, that's exactly why the Clojure community created deps.edn [0]. - optional dependencies - use JARs on disk, local projects that build JARs, or Maven Central - pull in code from git repo via url and git hash or tag ("g

True, the CL REPL is more useful than the Clojure REPL, but CL has a 20-30 year head start in development. Plus, Clojure was developed as a hosted language, and runs on .NET, Javascript, JVM, and even Dart (in-progress). Since exceptions a
