Numergent

The story so far On Part 1 we went over the basic operations - creating a table, checking its status, getting data in and performing a simple retrieval.

DynamoDB and Clojure There are two main options of accessing DynamoDB in Clojure right now - Amazonica, which provides a Clojure client through reflection that’s comprehensive but a direct translation of Amazon’s; and Faraday, which does not take the refl…

Introduction At the recent Thingmonk conference in London, I got to chatting about Clojure and ClojureScript.

Introduction If you’re using re-frame as your pattern for single-page applications in ClojureScript (and why wouldn’t you?)

The problem You’ve written your Chrome extension in ClojureScript, whether using Khroma or any other alternative.

I started my recent Clojure talk by enumerating the “scary bits” for new users.

While we’re on the topic of Clojure being useful… I use git flow for all my projects.

I love Clojure.

I’m a tab-aholic I normally do a search, start opening the tabs that seem interesting, and then as I flip through them, I end up opening even more links on tabs as they seem relevant.

Perhaps the trickiest thing when developing an open source library is figuring out the balance between changes you feel are necessary, and respecting early adopters.

Introduction A few weeks ago I wrote a short piece about the available tools for building Chrome extensions in ClojureScript.

I recently spent some time pulling my hair at a Chrome extension problem, and it turned out to be something rather silly.

Anyone who has worked with Kinect will tell you that the information you get out of the sensor is somewhat noisy.

There’s not as much documentation on building a Chrome extension with ClojureScript, so I thought I’d document my findings on the current state of libraries.

Up until now whenever someone asked about our open source projects I referred them directly to my Github page.

On a previous post, I was commenting on how the Kinect’s lack of success as a gaming input device could easily be mistaken as a failure of the device itself, if one doesn’t look at the multitude of areas where it’s being used.

I had lots of interesting conversations after my talk at the recent nucl.ai conference in Vienna, but one in particular sticks to mind.

If you look at the lein cljs-build sample project, you’ll see that it states: ; The :builds option should be set to a sequence of maps.

I participated on a fascinating panel yesterday at the (still ongoing and live-streamed) nucl.ai 2015 conference.

Starlings A recurrent question about UnitySteer is how to implement behavior like that of a flock of starlings (seems that Mr.

Introduction Tropology is an experiment in visualizing conceptual networks from TVTropes.

Or, apples vs. papaya salad.

Episode IV: A new approach We got better performance with the last changes I made to the import process, at the cost of parallelization and a significantly less clean Clojure codebase.

The story so far Yesterday we were discussing our (admittedly) somewhat ghetto, not-quite-batched Neo4j implementation.

Welcome.

Introduction This is the first part of a series of articles on a small experiment I’m building.

This one bit me a bit hard and, seeing as I could find only one reference for it in the context of Clojure and Leiningen, I thought a small write-up would help.

DECEMBER 2015 UPDATE: I’ve run some tests with the latest ClojureScript and made some minor changes to the code, which significantly improved performance.

CoffeeScript is a huge improvement, but underneath all that synctactic sugar it’s clearly still Javascript:

On the datatypes chapter of Programming Clojure 2nd edition (page 155) there’s the following bit where the CryptoVault is extended to support the default input streams: The calls to spit/slurp didn’t work on my tests at first, even reloading the namespace.

UnitySteer currently has an acceleration smooth rate parameter on TickedVehicle.
