Clojure Geek

@clojuregeek I'm fine with being the CoE's heretic, I haven't taken their vow of faith.

#clj2el destructuring works: borkdude.github.io/clj2el/ #clojure #emacs

@t3dotgg Unit tests are overrated!

Update: We had ONE (1) user who managed to register without a username, which broke everything 😅

@nikitonsky Does that work? 😅

@clojuregeek (into {} (map vector kcol vcol)) ?

Look how easy Clojure is! Not intimidating at all!

@t3dotgg @ThePrimeagen Same can be said about typescript.

@ThePrimeagen Crazy how Netflix pays so much to write code that brings no value to users :^)

I just wrote 12 unit tests today

@ThePrimeagen You should check lisp conditional restarts. This is what try/catch should have been. blog.sulami.xyz/posts/common-l…

try-catch is the biggest language design flaw

@ThePrimeagen Wait until you discover clojure.

the hardest part of learning rust is learning how bad every other language really is

@RoxCodes @ThePrimeagen I've used ffmpeg to extract thumbnails and generate timelapses in the past and it can be done efficiently. Feel free to dm me if you have any questions.

@RoxCodes @ThePrimeagen If your workflow requires extracting large portions of the video that don't fit in your local storage (ie in a lambda function) then gstreamer is your best option because you can stream the output directly into s3. github.com/amzn/amazon-s3… Assuming that s3 is available. 2/

how the hell do I handle a 1GB file upload and parse it without exploding my server send help

@janetacarr Is there an advantage? Is it possible to implement primitives like acknowledge using these protocols? I have the feeling that core.async is one-way fire and forget kind of approach. Is there more to it ?

Did you know that Clojure core.async channels use a small handful of protocols? I once worked at a Clojure shop passing messages between hosts using channels Made their own channel type with a record to serialize itself and it's state, transmitting both over HTTPs No broker!

@janetacarr Or just get rid of PR reviews and do it together in the 1st place. This way people do it together and learn from each other instead of someone giving opinions after the fact.

#Clojure is fairly unopinionated, so it tends to attract opinionated devs If you want Clojure in a professional setting, have an opinion dictator to set style, convention, etc Otherwise conversations and PR reviews tend to be a battle of asserting opinions rather than shipping

@LeviticusNelson @jamiebrough @ThePrimeagen I think would be better to do it Spark to make sure it is future proof. You never know when you gonna encounter a 20 terabyte CSV.

@jamiebrough @ThePrimeagen It would depend on the size of the csv to load in memory or not, I was thinking about a large csv file. You could also use an ORM if you don’t want to write sql.

my boss reminded me again the power of knowing python and having access to a CSV

@ThePrimeagen It's not like we hate types. Integer , strings, vectors, lists and maps are perfectly fine types.

i don't understand why people hate types

The software industry got so bad that we had to create IDEs that generate code for us. Now we created AIs that write code for us. Maybe we should reflect on how we got here and how we normalized complexity. #clojure #js #java #ChatGPT

@nikitonsky github.com/chr15m/awesome… There are several alternatives or "alikes" already. I'm sure that it is a lot of work. Running on the JVM is actually a great feature, but I guess it depends on your goals

How hard do you think would be to implement alternative Clojure JVM compiler? The one that reports error positions correctly? I’m seriously considering it

I'm pretty happy with this little book cover :)

@bksgbr @borkdude @_honza Write once run everywhere? Whats the alternative? to distribute binaries for each platform? Distribute source like in go? What about JIT optimizations? Some optimizations cannot be performed at compiled time specially when dealing with code that is very dynamic.

@borkdude @_honza what is the point of a VM (in the JVM sense) in the age of LLVM? why not just emit native code to start with?

The worst part of Clojure is the JVM.
