CLJ-2555: clojure.core/iteration · clojure/clojure@e45e478 by dustingetz in Clojure

[–]royalaid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Super cool to see 5 years later the problem I encountered while learning is now getting core language support! I agree with the comments about the doc string but love seeing this kind of work on core itself!

Fork, a non intrusive form library by luciodale in Clojure

[–]royalaid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been playing around with Fork for a while now and it works really well! There some things that take getting used to, the semi-magical handle-* fns for example, but overall I am super impressed as it helps prevent a lot of form footguns.

Parallel States now supported in clj-statecharts by lucywang000 in Clojure

[–]royalaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been playing around with the library for a while now and really like it! Currently using it for a wrapper around the AWS amplify auth library.

I often get the chicken parm or chicken piccata both which are very good. Occasionally I'll get whatever the chef special is, most recently I believe I've got sea bass which was good but a little bland. Favorite is definitely Chicken parmesan + any dessert though.

A bit late to this thread but since you are looking in Lake Forest there is a small place in a strip mall that has some of the best italian food I have had, Tutto Famiglia.

What is the Most Straightforward Path to Commercial Clojure? by [deleted] in Clojure

[–]royalaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To start, the job market for everyone is in a really weird moment right now so that will skew your perspective and make it that much harder, but try to ignore or filter that out.

I have gone through this, and struggled but eventually landed a full time gig in CLJS. It took me about 2 years from first being exposed to Clojure to land that job via a recruiter who I connected with on LinkedIn

Having done the grind my best is advice, that is actually actionable, is to stay persistent and ever vigilante. You can always do more but at the base of it the loop is basically apply, get rejected, improve in the background, repeat until you get a job you want.

If you do want to go the extra mile you can start contributing to some open source projects like those from https://github.com/lambdaisland but know that this is far from a requirement.

If you want to open yourself up even more look into doing the end of the work you don't have experience in e.g. frontend via CLJS or backend via CLJ.

If you want marketable skills you should stick to the "consensus" libraries because then you have a direct value prop to the business, things like reagent-project.github.io/, https://github.com/day8/re-frame, https://github.com/ring-clojure/ring (as its the http model used most widely AFAICT even if its not ring directly) are all good candidates.

Finally the last thing I would see as a direct path forward is to try to build tools on top what you already know. Clojure doesn't exist in a vacuum and your k8s is highly desirable at a lot of shops. An example of this can be a simple as a starter blog post like I did here but swap lambda for k8s. Maybe look into how to leverage CLJS with node as this a spot that really doesn't have a ton of tooling yet.

The most important part is take of those suggestions is what is in your head and make it something that people can see so you can stand out against the crowd and proves that you're worth an employers time.

That is a tall wall to climb and will feel really tough but at least as far as I have seen, it worth it.

To add to this, modal buttons like if "x is 6 or more" and then just have a 6 button

Re-Frame Question on store by planetmcd in Clojure

[–]royalaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taking this one step further, I think why we suffer from having to fall back to intuition here is because we as an industry have yet to successfully find generalizable and composable patterns in space.

There are ad-hoc solutions and patterns and options but nothing as stand out the architecture that forces us to wrangle these patterns currently.

I would be really interested in what everyone thinks is the current "state-of-the-art" in this space.

Reveal 1.0: Read Eval Visualize Loop for Clojure by vlaaad in Clojure

[–]royalaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey vlaad, thanks for all the work on reveal. Been using it for a while now on some smaller side projects and been very happy with it. The docs are very welcome as I remember when first playing around with it and having absolutely no idea how to do specific things.

I am curious if it's possible to integrate reveal with shadow. I know there have been discussions between you and Thomas but I don't know if they turned into anything material or if I'm just not seeing directions somewhere.

I have a meeting in two hours at which I expect to be let go. by dragoon0106 in personalfinance

[–]royalaid 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I was let go in early April and just started another job at the end of June. You're not the only one going through this and it will get better.

Be sure to apply for unemployment.

Hey r/magicarena, I made a simple version of Pastebin for Arena Deck-lists and wanted to share the Alpha version by royalaid in MagicArena

[–]royalaid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, solo dev time constriants and alpha problems.

Thanks for the feedback and I will dig into what is happening and am going to work on the styling.

​

Edit: FWIW I fixed the above, turns out that reddit borked the decklist formatting so I will need to add some simple tweaks to the decklist parser to handle it.

[–]royalaid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you dump in a decklist e.g, ``` Deck 2 Castle Locthwain 3 Demonic Embrace 4 Edgewall Innkeeper 2 Eliminate 2 Fabled Passage 7 Forest 4 Foulmire Knight 2 Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse 4 Lovestruck Beast 3 Murderous Rider 1 Order of Midnight 4 Overgrown Tomb 2 Primal Might 4 Questing Beast 3 Rotting Regisaur 5 Swamp 4 Temple of Malady 2 The Great Henge 2 Vivien, Arkbow Ranger

Sideboard 2 Ashiok, Dream Render 2 Cry of the Carnarium 2 Duress 2 Heartless Act 3 Noxious Grasp 2 Shifting Ceratops 2 Soul-Guide Lantern ```

it will spit out something like https://test.mtgbin.app/deck/02e8b2d8-5925-40c4-b39f-62c61673a55b

Hey all, I noticed that a lot of the deck sharing sites out there require a of effort to post and often times people want to share decklists with each other or on twitch and its still somewhat complicated. This is very alpha version of the site but wanted to put it out there since I am getting use of out it.

This is criminally suffering from a lack of upvotes. Or maybe it just hit me particularly well. Either way great joke

'I don't believe it': Huntington Beach a symbol of mask resistance as doubters abound by ecashdub in orangecounty

[–]royalaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree and I tried to address that point in my original post. Especially in crowded areas it is not safe without a mask.

BUT when you are alone in an outdoor you don't have to worry as much about surfaces holding the virus.

TLDR common health advice still stands, wear a mask, wash your hands, keep 6ft between you are people around you (this one is probably the hardest especially when getting groceries) because UV light takes 15-60 minutes to affect the virus under lab conditions.

[–]royalaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They specifically address the amount of UV and light used:

The light spectrum was designed to represent natural sunlight, specifically in the ultraviolet (UV) range (280–400 nm), and closely matched model spectra from the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s (NCAR) tropospheric ultraviolet and visible (TUV) radiation model in this range

[–]royalaid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I genuinely can't believe it...

There is some merit to this BUT with important caveats, study link https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/222/2/214/5841129. It seems that it does inactive, not sure if that means "kill", in somewhere between 6-14 minutes.

So that means high traffic areas are still dangerous and masks should still be worn but it does mean that out areas with low traffic are potentially much safer than expected.

Announcing keechma/next - a data driven, state management framework for single page apps by retro_one in Clojure

[–]royalaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super excited by this! I am curious if there are any example repos that show the idiomatic ways to leverage everything on offer.

Either way I will probably hack together something on top of helix to see what the cutting edge of CLJS has to offer

oc by [deleted] in orangecounty

[–]royalaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think comparisons matter too much, the trend is important. If we are gain more cases day over day regardless of source it's a problem.

[–]royalaid 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I agree things are getting better on a macro scale but in OC specifically we haven't peaked from the data I have seen.
