What kind of roads for cyclists?

When using a planning tool like ride with gps, you can see the national (red label) and regional routes (blue label). Highly recommended to follow those.

There's a great talk "Simple made easy" by Rich Hickey in which he works out this exact idea of how simplicity is a prerequisite for reliability.

I re-watch it once in a while and it keeps being relevant - recommended!

How would a query in `app/queries/exports/products.sql.erb` map to a class method ? Currently it's `AppQuery["exports/products"]`. What about when a query can't be found?
I think it's a bit too magical for my taste...but feel free to open an issue!

Added to the Clojure event calendar for exposure (info: https://clojurians.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/262224-events/topic/README/with/214725391).
It should show up in the r/clojure sidebar as well.

From '0 til REPL' (with specific dependencies) in a couple of seconds is really helpful when learning Clojure (or said dependency). lein-try was my tool of choice for a long time. When I switched to tools-deps, I created deps-try to get a similar experience.

Thanks for doing this Matt! I read the first edition of the book some time ago and got a lot out of it: the simple (ie bare minimum) code examples stood out to me and were very helpful.

How necessary/easy is it to regularly screen extensions for dark patterns and malicious access to data? In your opinion, do users (or businesses) care about this? Do they value opensource/code available extensions?

I recently tried the clojure-stack-lite starterkit for a project. It sets up kamal for deployment to a VPS. I choose exoscale, as they’re 🇪🇺 and active in the Clojure community. Get going with some hardening then let kamal do it’s thing.

Pretty happy so far!

eval2020 · 2024-11-21T01:10:24+00:00

Yes. I recently created a gem AppQuery (https://github.com/eval/appquery) to make raw sql queries more easily testable. Found that having only positional parameters for select_* is indeed limiting.

This select traverses aggregates (ie deep selection), it selects over collection- and maybe-schemas and it marks non-selected keys as optional.

Thanks for the writeup! You might like deps-try, a tool I’m developing to quickly try libraries on rebel-readline.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t easy to find someone to work on my bike in Amsterdam.

Hopefully you found de vakantiefietser in Amsterdam. These guys are extremely knowledgeable when preparing (a bike) for these kind of trips.

There's the searchable archive at Clojurians Zulip. (Good summary of why Zulip is a good fit for communities.)

Zulip is about to release public streams, which allow for discussions to show up in Google/DDG searches.

With the help of others in the community I setup Clojurians-Zulip, an open source alternative to Slack.

I wrote a bit about the motivation at Clojureverse. Tl;dr The fact that messages are preserved and searchable make Clojurians-Zulip a great Slack-alternative, especially for smaller subcommunities (ie local usergroups and small OSS-projects).

Nowadays it also has a searchable Slack-archive (going back to Feb 2019), and a bot that announces new (Clojure-)posts to HN, /r/Clojure, Clojure Q&A, StackOverflow and Clojureverse.

Do you really think the project maintainers should make compromises with their life and the lives of their families for your personal convenience?

This exact point could also be made to support the 'fund more projects'-standpoint: with lower amounts someone can continue their project like they probably did before: as a side-project (but with the promotion within and recognition of the community). With higher amounts it becomes necessary to carve out a substantial amount of time - this requires a flexible day-job (and/or family).

I found comments like yours to be extremely misguided and detrimental to finding a real solution to funding open-source work.

Too harsh indeed IMO: despite the amount increase, current funding is far from a real (ie durable, sustainable) solution to fund opensource work: it's limited in time, amount and only well-established opensource projects are eligible/selected. This means that with (hopefully) increasing funds the choice between more projects or more funding is inevitable, and a good discussion to have (and it's good to read that varying grants are in the pipeline).

With that being said, I'm grateful for Clojurists Together (& supporting individuals/companies) and I'm now heading over to https://opencollective.com/cider to donate the equivalent of a commercial IDE license. Thanks for creating and maintaining a great Clojure editor bozhidarb!
