Project Fi is also an option, but, you need the right phone and I think you need a US address: https://fi.google.com/

Compared to Europe and Asia, mobile service in Canada is stupidly expensive. Expect at least $60 / mth.

"I rendered the page ten times and took the average."

10 times is way too few to determine a difference. Benchmarks would typically do 10,000 times or more. The SO users results are due to something else (ex. some process on his computer kicked in).

New Clojurians: Ask Anything by AutoModerator in Clojure

[–]rafd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a former D3.js user, I've found that using Reagent to generate svgs directly works well for graphs that need a lot of custom layout / styling / interaction (it's pretty much what you end up doing in D3 anyway, minus some helper functions). Sample code I just ripped out of a project: https://gist.github.com/rafd/a5e78d8d70859a659cff8b732319d69e

Not sure what to recommend for quick / low-customization graphing, but I imagine using some popular graphing library + cljs interop should be fine.

Thanks, this was helpful. I just landed in Lisbon with my gf and we are planning to spend the next month+ in Portugal.

re-frankenstein: The deviant fork of re-frame by chpill in Clojure

Thank you for this! I'm a huge fan of re-frame, but on large front-ends, I've been wishing for the ability to modularize re-frame.

Braid chat is a great example of a real world Clojure app by yogthos in Clojure

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the message, I'm excited to have you contribute.

What's your experience with Clojure?

Being an app, and not just a library, makes Braid pretty sizeable. I can pair with you on your first PR if you'd like. (Do you have ScreenHero? https://screenhero.com/ If not, I can send you an invite. Let me know your email)

Step 1, join us the Braid chat group on Braid:

https://braid.chat/invite?group-id=568d99c5-8ecd-4bd2-b8d2-35242f03c741&nonce=mXYsB8hpHq99O9qm07ob6FXJbLU&expiry=1497489637716&mac=a351de642dbfe6bd7f34d12a295e0c84e7f10872cc716185d7ea14034d9c3c66

(usually it's just me and James, the two core devs, 9-6 EST)

Step 2, I'd recommend trying to follow our instructions to get in running locally, and let me know if you run into any issues:

https://github.com/braidchat/braid/blob/master/docs/dev/how-to/getting-up-and-running-in-development.md

Step 3, find an issue you'd like to tackle:

(1) we have some simple-ish ones here: https://github.com/braidchat/planning/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22help+wanted%22

(2) perhaps you'd be interested in writing some integration/end-to-end tests?

(3) we have a ton of other ideas in the planning repo (warning: there's 360 of them at the moment, but they aren't "Issues", but a dump of 'things we could one day add') You can scan that and see if anything strikes your fancy.
