Updating “RELEASE” dependencies in ClojureScript
Sep 10, 2018 · original
TL;DR : Use lein -U deps to force leiningen to update SNAPSHOT and RELEASE dependencies in a Leiningen project. You may have noticed that some clojure dependencies allow you to specify their version number as "RELEASE" . This is useful when you’re working with libraries that need to be kept in sync with another piece of software that updates automatically. One example of this is the super useful Dirac REPL and debugger created by Antonin Hildebrand . Dirac provides ClojureScript developers with a fully-featured REPL and the ability to debug ClojureScript code right from Chrome DevTools (which is pretty sweet). To work it’s magic, Dirac uses a Chrome extension that establishes the connection between DevTools and your application’s nrepl server. The Dirac Chrome extension is actively updated and new versions are pushed regularly to the Chome App Store which is then updated automatically in
Exploring the Clojurescript REPL
Apr 5, 2015 · original
TL;DR: A beginner-level exploration of a ClojureScript REPL session complete with mistakes of the type made by me so that you might avoid these common pitfalls when starting your own ClojureScript adventures. I love the interactivity of working with code in a Clojure(Script) REPL (REPL = “read-evaluate-print-loop”). Understanding a few basic concepts can help ease the learning curve and give you the tools to bootstrap further exploration. I hope this annotated transcript gives you a headstart in your own ClojureScript REPL explorations! ClojureScript Quick Start This session is based on the ClojureScript Quick Start guide which illustrates how to configure a simple ClojureScript project without the need for external tools (like Leiningen). If you’re new to ClojureScript, the ClojureScript Quick Start guide is essential reading and you should read that first or this post won’t make much s
Simple Daily Planning Template
Oct 3, 2013 · original
TL;DR: Here’s a simple excel template to help you plan your daily routine and (hopefully) increase your productivity. For the impatient, download the: Daily Planning Template Daniel Markovitz wrote an interesting article on blogs.HBR.org titled “ To-Do Lists Don’t Work ”. I agree with Daniel that traditional to-do lists lack “commitment devices” and I’ve definitely felt overwhelmed while staring at a to-do list with 1000+ items. The antidote to this is called “living in your calendar” which means putting everything you need to do in your day onto a calendar format so you can visualize how much time you really have in a given day and to challenge yourself to finish tasks within the time you’ve allotted to them. The benefit to me is that I feel more comfortable planning my day first, focusing only on the current day’s tasks and then putting myself in “go mode” to just get stuff done. I can
Efficient Text Editing on MacOS
Sep 26, 2013 · original
tl;dr Bind Command + “j”, “k”, “l”, and “;” to the cursor movement keys for a more fluid, productive text editing experience on MacOS. (For the impatient: Jump straight to the implementation ) I recently read a great post by Jamie Buelta titled “ Vim speed is not really the point “. In the post, Jamie argues that the benefit for investing the time to install Vim or Emacs keybindings into your muscle memory is not because it makes you a faster coder but because it allows you to focus more of your conscious mind on the logic of programming and less on the administrative thoughts like: “how do I get the cursor to the beginning of that word”. Jamie’s point is that speed is not the goal but rather, it’s the feeling of calm control that is the real reward for all the hard work that you put into learning your code editor. With that idea in mind I’d like to share with you a rather unusual keyboa
Tip: Check Your Calendar First
Sep 2, 2013 · original
Do you ever run into the problem where you sit down at your desk with the goal of getting that important report done only to find that it’s 11am and you haven’t started yet? Well, here’s a tip for getting off to the right start on your day: Check your calendar and your todo list before jumping into email. Pretty simple right? Don’t be fooled – it’s a very powerful technique. Here’s why it works: Our brains are wired for newness and novelty and so we’re very attracted to the “unread” emails that have appeared in your inbox since the last time you checked it. Once we open the first mail we have unconsciously re-prioritized our day according to the messages, requests and spam that other people have sent us. By checking your calendar first you remind yourself what hard commitments you have made to yourself and others. Then you check your todo list (you are using a good todo list, right? to r
