I think #clojure got me. I officially can’t code in a large JavaScript project anymore. I’m sigh-ing every 2 minutes and can’t focus at all

It's so cool! Someone contributed a patch to my Clojupyter kernel Colab setup script, and it's now so much faster to install. github.com/qubit55/clojup…

I've been exploring with compilation errors through macro expansions, across files. This ends up requiring us to track a lot more source information, but the results can be very nice. #clojure

During today’s “close call” between two aircraft at Chicago’s Midway International Airport, air traffic control (ATC) can be heard telling FlexJet Flight LXJ560 several times to “hold short of runway 31 center” but despite this the pilots of the Challenger 350 decided to cross

I wrote a lot of documentation for ShipClojure and now LLMs work wonderfully with it. I get interactive UIs according to the coding standards in no time #clojure #llm

Clojure core (the Clojure standard library) has a lot of super useful tools for working with collections. Here's `frequencies`.

group-by: "Returns a map of the elements of coll keyed by the result of f on each element. The value at each key will be a vector of the corresponding elements, in the order they appeared in coll." #clojure

cycle: Returns a lazy (infinite!) sequence of repetitions of the items in coll. take: Returns a lazy sequence of the first n items in coll, or all items if there are fewer than n. Cycle will generate a lazy infinite sequence, so don't try to materialise that in REPL. #clojure

So, you probably won't believe how desperate Starliner's flight to the space station got last summer ... arstechnica.com/space/2025/04/…

just use a for loop they said. you don’t need a fancy map reduce they said. for loop is simpler they said.

I posted a 6 step tutorial on creating an LLM coding agent. * Uses LiteLLM * About 140 lines of python when finished * Can use the free plan of GitHub Copilot (no API sign-up/credit is needed to work through the steps) * Step 5 of the agent is used to create Step 6 ...

Do not agree. It's a skill. You can get good at it. The real problem is that people do not want accurate estimates.

Sure you can get better, especially if you limit the number of variables you change over time. Same tools, similar project, good notes ->better estimate. Hot new framework, new domain, new kind of customer ->worse estimate.

Amusement parks are such a gift from the 1890s, and if they didn’t exist, would sound like such a fever dream. “We’re gonna make a bicycle wheel as big as a house and put little seats in the spokes” “imagine high tea, but the teacups are enormous, you sit inside and they spin”

clojure-mcp by Bruce Hauman @[email protected] 🇺🇦 is great! I'm still a coding-agent newbie user, but it was easy to set up with vscode and immediately improved the quality of the work the agent can do. Collapsed file reads, the grep tool, the editing tool, and of course eval--all very helpful.

Recent "sleep thief"... Direct native Wayland GUI rendering from Clojure! 👀 DSL modeled after Reagent, Hiccup, Re-com. Sexy UI, declarative(ish) & reactive with atoms in a "normal(ish)" way. WIP!

Just used difftastic in anger for the first time today. Very nice!
