This is something I'm very interested in, and I've actually found it very difficult to buy these shapes. Do you have a link to a supplier? I've even approached ceramic studios about getting them custom made, but without any r

Seems like it draws a lot of inspiration from EDN. Tagged literals, commas-as-whitespace (and optional), and anything-can-be-a-key are features I sorely miss when I have to go back to JSON. Don't know how I feel about optional quotes a

I think the flocking behavior of birds is one of the most entrancing natural phenomena, it's great to see it play out in such an intuitive way here. Is a quadtree generalizable to three dimensions? This looks like so much fun, thank yo

I've been meaning to try this out, from my read it's a declarative way to get some structured concurrency. I work in a codebase that heavily uses core.async channels to manage concurrency and you really need to pay close attention

I think the RDF standards have produced many useful tools for those that work with graph data. And the W3C is a useful coordination place for new standards like Verifiable Credentials[0] and Decentralized identifiers[1] and JSON Linked Data

Haha, I read The Joy of Clojure way back in 2013 and conflated the different reference types with STM. So thanks for mentioning that, I always thought it weird that you'd need STM for vars and atoms too. That said, I have never used a

Clojure atoms use STM, though. I've been writing Clojure for almost a decade now, it's not that STM isn't great, it's just that immutable data will carry you a very long way - you just don't need coordinated mutatio

One of the fun things about Clojure that reinforces this "trivially true" perspective is that maps and sets are functions: ;; "maps" the keys to the values (map {1 "a" 2 "b"} (take 5 (cycle

I wonder if there's any chance of technology like Verifiable Credentials[0] getting any adoption because of these laws. I think there are legitimate use cases where you would want to say, "hey, some third-party authority can vouch

Is the Cybersecurity Fabric an open standard? I didn't see any licenses in the Github repository. Is Tidecloak just an implementation of an open protocol? Or is it entirely proprietary?

I could see using one of these as a landline replacement. I was lamenting with another parent the expense of a landline and how difficult it is for kids to call each other to arrange a park meetup or other games - this could fill that gap p

All data is a graph, and so graph query languages work well for this. SPARQL is my tool of choice but cypher and maybe GQL (though that's new).

That looks pretty nice - my youngest lost interest once the stories started, and I think that was partly because the stories weren't particularly engaging. But overall I was extremely impressed with the pedagogy, it was so easy it felt

For what it's worth, the oldest got all the way through on his own power, asking to do it each day. The next kid petered out around day 45 and we didn't try to force it, but she's even more advanced than the first one was at

I taught my kids how to read pretty early (4, not 2) using the Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons book, which was astoundingly easy. Both kids are now in school and reading significantly above grade level and I have different conc

They say naming is one of the hard problems of computer science, but there's not much concrete work addressing it. I'd recommend Elements of Clojure[0]. Don't be fooled by the title, it's not really about Clojure, it jus

The list of text links is basically what https://pinboard.in is, basically - social bookmarking. I only use it privately, but it does have the exact function you're talking about as well. I don't think I would use it w

The books weren't actually destroyed, there is a shot of Rey with them on Millenium Falcon at the end of the movie when they pick up all the survivors. I was actually really excited about this foreshadowing a Jedi reformation - a redis

I haven't seen much else that's competing in the same space, and it seems to be progressing as a standard, albeit slowly.

I worked on implementing this last summer in Clojure, is this the same URDNA2015 specification? I got all but three of the tests in the test suite working, but in the end ditched it for a java library that already had it. This is really use

Falling Free is a great place to start, as it has a stand-alone plot and introduces the setting very well. If you like it then I'd also recommend the Vorkosigan saga.

When lispers talk about lists, they are usually speaking about a very specific type of data structure - a linked list of cons cells[0]. Clojure's lists are not actual chains of cons, they are immutable hash array map tries. This means

I really like the Fastmail calendar because it has months on a giant scroll, so one leads seamlessly into the next. It works quite well for me because I really think on a "weeks" basis but knowing the month is still important.

I imagine the advantage is mainly in cost - getting a chunk of walnut that large is going to be many times more expensive than getting the boards necessary to laminate the same shape.

Tree-sitter[0] came out of Atom performance optimization, I think, and that's a legacy that will live on a long time. Atom was in my view the closest thing to emacs out there, and it's sad to see that sort of user-empowerment not
