| 00:01 | icey | thanks ibdknox, technomancy, jli :) this gives me a good starting point |
| 00:02 | ibdknox | jli, icey: yeah, split the html into two parts, the "layout" and then the content |
| 00:02 | ibdknox | you share code between pages |
| 00:02 | ibdknox | it ends up much cleaner |
| 00:02 | ibdknox | smaller |
| 00:05 | pdk`` | jli take a look at graham's lisp book and practical common lisp |
| 00:06 | pdk`` | they always have an example chapter stuffed in the back talking about writing a mini language to produce html from s expressions as a handful of macros |
| 00:06 | icey | ibdknox, jli: good feedback - i started using layouts recently once i transitioned to noir (although i am still making many of the mistakes mentioned here in my newer code - this code is from a few weeks ago) |
| 00:07 | jli | pdk``: hm? |
| 00:07 | pdk`` | http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/practical-an-html-generation-library-the-interpreter.html for example |
| 00:07 | pdk`` | talks about writing a set of macros so you can write your page code in a lispy structure and have it spit out html from that |
| 00:07 | jli | he's already using hiccup (I think?) - it's just that the layout stuff is together with code for getting data |
| 00:07 | scottj | Does every loop/recur involve a function invoke? |
| 00:08 | scottj | is each recur a function invoke? |
| 00:08 | pdk`` | you can use recur just to restart the loop it's in iirc |
| 00:10 | ibdknox | icey: if you're using noir, you should basically never return a map |
| 00:11 | dnolen | scottj: loop/recur is efficient, no more overhead than a for loop in Java. |
| 00:13 | icey | ibdknox: i'm a little better now (although I'm still not using :only here) - this is how i'm using noir: https://gist.github.com/1164329 |
| 00:14 | icey | (ignore the extra includes ;)) |
| 00:14 | ibdknox | icey: the only thing I'd do is put all those links into collection |
| 00:15 | ibdknox | icey: and then map over them |
| 00:16 | ibdknox | basically anytime you're doing a list with similar items, you should split that out into a partial and map the partial over the collection :) |
| 00:16 | icey | ibdknox: hm okay. you have an example of that on one of the noir webpages actually |
| 00:35 | scottj | dnolen: ok I'd heard that. I copied the scala version of that stupid josephus benchmark but was still about 5x of it and almost all the time was in my main function's invoke, and I had 2 loop w/ recurs in it so I thought maybe that was it |
| 00:36 | srid | nope, a fix is available at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6182626 |
| 00:37 | replaca | dnolen: loved your ClojureNYC talk (oddly it got me thinking about core.logic more than match, but hey) |
| 00:38 | replaca | dnolen: did you propose a conj talk? |
| 00:38 | dnolen | scottj: that's the most pointless benchmark ever IMO. the requirement to have a growable array is easily done by just writing a C++ vector like abstraction over Java primitive arrays. |
| 00:39 | dnolen | replaca: interesting that the talk made you think of core.logic more. |
| 00:39 | dnolen | replaca: yes, I pitched a talk on core.logic and on predicate dispatch. |
| 00:40 | replaca | dnolen: well, I just began to think of cases where relationships between elements matter in a way that seemed to be beyond match but in the wheelhouse of logic techniques |
| 00:41 | replaca | dnolen: mostly around producing explanations of how certain things change over time |
| 00:41 | replaca | which gets really ugly in normal code |
| 00:42 | dnolen | replaca: definitely. where predicate dispatch ends core.logic begins. and vice versa. |
| 00:42 | replaca | dnolen: yeah, it's like a numeric stack of logic |
| 00:43 | replaca | but I haven't done any logic programming since college, so I'm having to rekearn a lot |
| 00:43 | replaca | *relearn |
| 00:44 | replaca | if I really get something interesting, maybe I'll do a lightening talk about it |
| 00:44 | dnolen | I actually started up the predicate dispatch stuff because I wanted a pattern matcher to write the nominal logic version of miniKanren :) |
| 00:44 | dnolen | of course I got carried away. |
| 00:44 | jli | replaca: where you at clojurenyc? |
| 00:45 | replaca | jli: no, I watched it on TV :) (also known as vimeo) |
| 00:45 | replaca | I'm in SF |
| 00:45 | scottj | dnolen: I wonder if the benchmark is really only measuring function invoke time. the main function only runs for 0.0067 millis each iteration |
| 00:46 | dnolen | scottj: the benchmarks measures array operations. that's about it as far as I can tell. |
| 00:47 | dnolen | scottj: all the other langs benchmarked have mutable arrays. the OP had the audacity to post Clojure solutions that converted to seqs. I was going to respond but I lost interest, what's the point when the benchmark is that idiotic ? |
| 00:52 | jli | do you get an ack from rich when he gets your contributor agreement? |
| 00:52 | dnolen | jli: I think Clojure/core handles it now, and your name just appears on the list. |
| 00:53 | jli | okay, cool |
| 00:54 | dnolen | scottj: if you're doing it just for self education. Write a deftype over Java arrays that implements a push / pop interface that grows at the boundaries with System/arraycopy |
| 00:54 | dnolen | it's will be absurdly fast. |
| 00:57 | scottj | dnolen: see I don't think it's the datastructure that matters bc scala version uses ArrayBuffer w/o primitives I think and even a java version using ArrayList is like 10x my clojure version that uses ArrayList |
| 00:59 | dnolen | scottj: what does your implementation look like? and what version of Clojure? *unchecked-math* etc. |
| 01:07 | scottj | dnolen: https://gist.github.com/1164383 clojure 1.3.0-beta1, just turned on *unchecked-math* it made very little diff |
| 01:07 | scottj | no reflection warnings |
| 01:08 | scottj | -server makes very little diff on this benchmark |
| 01:08 | dnolen | scottj: how long does it take on your machine? |
| 01:09 | scottj | timings at bottom, 8 seconds for a million iterations |
| 01:09 | scottj | in clojure, 0.8 for java |
| 01:11 | srid | is it not possible to get compojure automatically convert types of route arguments? example -- in ` (GET ["/:site/:tag/:n", ...` I want the `n` to be of integer type. |
| 01:11 | srid | else, I have to manually Interger.parseInt it in all the route mappings. |
| 01:12 | dnolen | scottj: your using vectors for no reason |
| 01:13 | scottj | dnolen: the destructing part? yeah just noticed that when profiling |
| 01:13 | dnolen | vector instantiation, destructuring |
| 01:13 | dnolen | you're paying for instantiations too |
| 01:14 | scottj | I'll try getting rid of it but I found in another version I have that's faster tha nthis that that amount of destructuring doesn't impact total time much |
| 01:15 | dnolen | scottj: you can't put primitives in vectors |
| 01:15 | dnolen | so you've got boxing |
| 01:15 | dnolen | you've got boxing so JVM can't inline |
| 01:17 | replaca | dnolen: has core.logic been pushed anywhere or do I have to build from source? |
| 01:17 | dnolen | replaca: hudson |
| 01:17 | dnolen | org.clojure/core.logic "0.6.3" I think. |
| 01:17 | replaca | what's the latest version? |
| 01:17 | michaelr525 | hey! |
| 01:17 | scottj | dnolen: I've got ArrayLists, isn't that itself going to prevent inlining? |
| 01:18 | replaca | cool, thanks! |
| 01:19 | dnolen | scottj: Just by glancing at your code I can see it's not going to be very fast. |
| 01:21 | dnolen | scottj: there's no arithmetic on the contents of ArrayList so boxing is irrelevant there. |
| 01:35 | dnolen | scottj: where's the Java ArrayList version? |
| 01:37 | scottj | dnolen: in that gist, second file |
| 01:39 | khaliG | I start lein swank from a screen session, and sometimes when something goes wrong i'll take a look at the terminal but i can't scroll up to see a complete stacktrace. Is there a fix for this annoying problem? :) |
| 01:40 | scottj | khaliG: screen has scrolling, C-a [ then pageup |
| 01:40 | patchwork | hey all, trying to get the whole swank-clj setup going and running into a problem with the package manager, marmalade? |
| 01:41 | patchwork | I installed all of the slime and swank packages from M-x package-list-packages |
| 01:41 | patchwork | but when I do slime-connect I get: |
| 01:41 | patchwork | Symbol's value as variable is void: slime-clj |
| 01:41 | khaliG | scottj, thank you, i'll store that note somewhere handy for next time |
| 01:42 | patchwork | slime-clj-1.6.0 is in my elpa directory |
| 01:42 | patchwork | and it finds the other packages fine that are in there |
| 01:42 | patchwork | but this one fails for some reason? |
| 01:42 | patchwork | anyone have any idea where to start? |
| 01:43 | patchwork | I was under the impression that because it is a package manager I don't need to require anything from my .emacs |
| 01:43 | patchwork | (besides the package.el of course) |
| 01:44 | hiredman | patchwork: you want swank-clojure |
| 01:45 | hiredman | ~swank-clojure |
| 01:45 | clojurebot | see swank |
| 01:45 | hiredman | ~swank |
| 01:45 | clojurebot | swank is try the readme. seriously. |
| 01:45 | hiredman | ugh |
| 01:45 | hiredman | ~google swank-clojure |
| 01:45 | clojurebot | First, out of 1030 results is: |
| 01:45 | clojurebot | technomancy/swank-clojure - GitHub |
| 01:45 | clojurebot | https://github.com/technomancy/swank-clojure |
| 01:45 | hiredman | ^- forget swank-clj |
| 01:45 | hiredman | if you follow the instructions in the readme there you will be all set |
| 01:46 | hiredman | ~blog posts |
| 01:46 | clojurebot | make a note of http://scienceblogs.com/goodmath/2006/11/the_c_is_efficient_language_fa.php it is yet another article about picking c or c++ for performance being naive |

| 01:46 | hiredman | bleh |
| 01:47 | replaca | dnolen: ever seen "IllegalArgumentException No value supplied for key: true clojure.lang.PersistentHashMap.createWithCheck (PersistentHashMap.java:89)" when loading c.c.l.prelude? |
| 01:47 | patchwork | hiredman: interesting, those are the instructions I was trying to follow! |
| 01:47 | replaca | it works for me from the slime repl, but I can't load from the ns directive in my file |
| 01:47 | patchwork | hiredman: possibly, I don't need to install the slime stuff, only clojure-mode? |
| 01:48 | hiredman | patchwork: right, swank-clj is not swank-clojure |
| 01:48 | dnolen | replaca: Clojure version? |
| 01:48 | replaca | 1.3 beta1 |
| 01:48 | hiredman | patchwork: you obviously did not follow the readme |
| 01:48 | patchwork | hiredman: gotcha, strange |
| 01:48 | hiredman | under "usage" there are three lines, nothing that mentions slime |
| 01:49 | patchwork | hiredman: I installed marmalade, then tried to install all the packages from there. I thought they were the same thing |
| 01:49 | patchwork | hiredman: I will try your suggestion |
| 01:49 | dnolen | replaca: no, sounds really weird. can you open a ticket? |
| 01:50 | replaca | dnolen: I think it was pilot error with my :use |
| 01:50 | dnolen | replaca: ok |
| 01:50 | replaca | dnolen: when I break it up differently, it works fine |
| 01:51 | replaca | dnolen: the problem of looking at something new, is you never know where you're config problems are |
| 01:53 | patchwork | hiredman: okay, followed the readme precisely |
| 01:54 | patchwork | M-x clojure-jack-in now returns: |
| 01:54 | patchwork | Process swank exited abnormally with code 127 |
| 01:54 | patchwork | /bin/bash: lein: command not found |
| 01:54 | patchwork | |
| 01:54 | patchwork | I have lein installed however |
| 01:54 | patchwork | what path is it using? |
| 01:54 | hiredman | because you are on osx and osx doesn't source dot files so emacs doesn't have the PATH setup |
| 01:55 | patchwork | so... |
| 01:55 | patchwork | get a new computer? |
| 01:55 | hiredman | you can use setenv to set your PATH in your emacs dot files |
| 01:55 | patchwork | hiredman: aha nice, never had to do that before |
| 01:55 | hiredman | (setenv "PATH" "/sbin:/Users/hiredman/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin/:/Users/hiredman/apache-maven/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/games") |
| 01:58 | dnolen | scottj: here's a version that runs in 2.8s on my Machine, the Java takes 1s, about to post some really ugly Clojure in a second which should be identical. |
| 01:58 | dnolen | https://gist.github.com/1164447 |
| 01:59 | patchwork | hiredman: PATH is set, now I get: |
| 01:59 | patchwork | error in process filter: Symbol's variable is void: Process |
| 01:59 | patchwork | (after all kinds of things happen in *swank*) |
| 01:59 | hiredman | what version of emacs? |
| 01:59 | patchwork | 23 |
| 01:59 | hiredman | hmmm |
| 02:00 | patchwork | the gnu version |
| 02:02 | hiredman | have you tried restarting emacs? |
| 02:03 | replaca | b |
| 02:08 | dnolen | as promised Josephus in Clojure with identical Java performance, https://gist.github.com/1164458 |
| 02:09 | dnolen | scottj: ^ |
| 02:53 | michaelr525 | yo! |
| 02:55 | michaelr525 | so, I've used compojure once. should I use anything else for a web framework? |
| 02:55 | michaelr525 | what would you recommend? |
| 03:12 | scottj | khaliG: I had this screen stuck on scroll since I answered your question and I've been wondering why no one's said anything :) |
| 03:13 | khaliG | scottj, haha :) |

| 05:16 | agz | hey guys, http,agent is not working for me: |
| 05:16 | agz | (http/string (http/http-agent "http://www.google.com")) |
| 05:17 | agz | is not responding, the agent never finishes |
| 05:17 | agz | (http/done? (http/http-agent "http://www.google.com")) is always false |
| 05:18 | agz | anyone? |
| 05:18 | clojurebot | Please do not ask if anyone uses, knows, is good with, can help you with <some program or library>. Instead, ask your real question and someone will answer if they can help. |
| 05:21 | michaelr525 | agz: i'm not familiar with http-agent, but |
| 05:21 | michaelr525 | I'm using fetcher to fetch some html pages |
| 05:21 | michaelr525 | And it's greate |
| 05:21 | michaelr525 | greate |
| 05:21 | michaelr525 | great |
| 05:23 | agz | thx, goin try it |
| 05:26 | agz | in project.clj I added [fetcher "0.0.5-SNAPSHOT"] - and got error |

| 05:29 | agz | :michaelr525: you mean download the source, and run lein install in the library? |
| 05:29 | agz | in the directory mean |
| 05:33 | michaelr525 | yep |
| 05:33 | michaelr525 | agz: you have the download button at the top right |
| 05:34 | michaelr525 | or of course you could use git :) |

| 05:46 | agz | getwoven-plumbing needs clj-json-0.3.2 |
| 05:47 | agz | I installed that but plumbing still doesn't see it |
| 05:48 | michaelr525 | hmm |
| 05:49 | agz | I copied the compiled clj-json jar to the /lib of the plumbing |
| 05:49 | agz | not work - that should work? |
| 05:50 | michaelr525 | are you sure that "lein install" installs the jar into your repository? |
| 05:50 | michaelr525 | the clj-json jar |
| 05:51 | michaelr525 | what is the error message when you try to install plumbing? |

| 06:29 | agz | okay, maybe wrote wrong version number - it works now |
| 06:57 | opqdonut | _never_ make a record with a field named size |
| 06:58 | opqdonut | (and then try to access it with (.size thing)) |
| 07:11 | michaelr525 | opqdonut: why not? |
| 07:15 | opqdonut | michaelr525: go ahead, try it :) |
| 07:16 | michaelr525 | :) |
| 07:36 | michaelr525 | anyone knows of a jquery autocomplete plugin that mimicks as much of google instant? |
| 07:41 | Scorchin | What's the generic way to find out what kind of data structure you have? Looking for something similar to "map?" or "list?" |
| 07:41 | joegallo | http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Autocomplete |
| 07:46 | michaelr525 | joegallo: not similar enough :) |
| 07:47 | michaelr525 | actually i don't mind if it's not jquery |
| 08:01 | mbac | what's the authoritative zero-to-working-with-clojure-in-emacs howto? |
| 08:01 | mbac | google betrays |
| 08:01 | Pisketti | I'd like to know that as well ;) |
| 08:01 | thorwil | Scorchin: type |
| 08:02 | Scorchin | thorwil: thanks |
| 08:03 | mbac | clues indicate that this involves lein |
| 08:04 | Scorchin | another question, why does my "type" change from a vector to a named type when I wrap it in a (defn easy-name [PersistentVector in here]) ? Is there a more idiomatic way to do this? |
| 08:17 | Scorchin | If you have a vector of maps, how do you "remove" keys from the maps that the vector stores? |
| 08:19 | cemerick | Scorchin: You could use a zipper if appropriate, or there's a dissoc-in fn in old-contrib you can swipe: https://github.com/clojure/clojure-contrib/blob/b8d2743d3a89e13fc9deb2844ca2167b34aaa9b6/src/main/clojure/clojure/contrib/core.clj#L57 |
| 08:20 | opqdonut | I'd just do (vec (map #(dissoc % :key) vector-of-maps)) |
| 08:20 | chouser | ouch |
| 08:20 | opqdonut | oh okay, if you want to edit just one of the maps dissoc-in is pretty much the right thing |
| 08:21 | cemerick | opqdonut: good luck with that ;-) |
| 08:22 | opqdonut | hmm? |
| 08:23 | cemerick | I was commenting on the (vec (map …)) suggestion. That approach will hurt bad if the vector is large. |
| 08:23 | opqdonut | would (into [] ...) be faster? |
| 08:23 | cemerick | Or, even if it's small, and modified a bunch. |
| 08:24 | cemerick | No. It's a full copy in any case. |
| 08:24 | opqdonut | well if he wants to update every map in the vector... |
| 08:24 | opqdonut | then that's inevitable |
| 08:24 | Scorchin | opqdonut: actually, that's pretty much what I wanted. Thanks! |
| 08:24 | Scorchin | What's the counter to that, where you just want to get a single key from each? |
| 08:25 | opqdonut | I'll leave that as an exercise |
| 08:25 | opqdonut | hint: use map |
| 08:25 | Scorchin | okay, thanks |
| 08:28 | Scorchin | is it just (vec (map #(get % :age) vector-of-maps)) ? |
| 08:28 | Scorchin | or is there a better way to do it? |
| 08:28 | cemerick | opqdonut: Yeah, in that case, if thing just absolutely have to be in a vector, then there's no choice. Most of the time, vectors are just not necessary tho. |
| 08:28 | opqdonut | that's it |
| 08:29 | opqdonut | cemerick: agreed |
| 08:29 | cemerick | Scorchin: (map :age vector-of-maps) is sufficient |
| 08:31 | Scorchin | cemerick: thanks, that's much cleaner |
| 08:32 | chouser | cemerick: ^{:line 42 :k :v} (quote (foo)) |
| 08:33 | cemerick | chouser: Some of Rich may have rubbed off on you, 'lo these many years. ;-) |
| 08:34 | cemerick | (meta ^{:line 42 :k :v} (quote (foo))) => {:line 1}, which is (thankfully) consistent with the third example in the email |
| 08:35 | Scorchin | So lets say that I've now trimmed my crazy vector-of-maps into something easier to work with. I know what unique values exist with (distinct trimmed-vector-of-maps) however I now want to count how many times each one of those occurs to a map. Where's the best place to look at in the docs for that kind of operation? |
| 08:35 | Scorchin | If I was doing it in python, I'd just use a for loop and increment a counter within a dict, not so sure with clojure |
| 08:36 | chouser | cemerick: heh, sorry. '(foo) is read as (quote (foo)), so it's that outer list that's getting your metadata |
| 08:36 | opqdonut | Scorchin: have a look at group |
| 08:36 | opqdonut | sorry, group-by |
| 08:37 | cemerick | !! :-( |
| 08:37 | cemerick | (meta (quote ^{:line 42 :k :v} (foo))) => {:k :v, :line 1} |
| 08:37 | cemerick | chouser: thanks. |
| 08:39 | Scorchin | opqdonut: I've currently got a list of ages, which I want to make a normal distribution out of. (group-by (distinct ages) ages) doesn't seem to work |
| 08:39 | Scorchin | Is this because I need to make keys out of the distinct ages? |
| 08:41 | Scorchin | actually, looks like incanter might do what I need, will have a look in there :) |
| 08:44 | raek | Scorchin: you can use the 'frequencies' function to count how many times each element occurs in a sequence |
| 08:44 | opqdonut | Scorchin: group-by takes a function as its first argument, you might want to use = or something like #(* 10 (Math/floor (/ % 10))) |
| 08:44 | opqdonut | (the latter gives you bins of size 10) |
| 08:46 | Scorchin | oh, that's slick, I think I love clojure |
| 08:46 | Scorchin | ugh, but now I need to learn all these helper functions :/ |
| 08:46 | opqdonut | but incanter probably offers lots of stuff like this |
| 08:49 | chouser | Scorchin: you don't have to learn them cold. You can do like the rest of us did and write the ones you need. |
| 08:49 | chouser | Just don't forget to ask "is there something like this already" so someone can point out its name. :-) |
| 08:49 | Scorchin | :D |
| 08:49 | Scorchin | yeah, I get that |
| 08:50 | Scorchin | it's just a shame that the repl isn't more playful like node or python |
| 08:50 | chouser | I think frequencies in particular I wrote several times before it was added to core |
| 08:50 | chouser | as did many others |
| 08:53 | cemerick | Scorchin: "playful"? |
| 08:54 | Scorchin | yeah, like the ability to just prod things to find out more |
| 08:54 | Scorchin | like in node how you can do var. (hit tab) and then see what you could do |
| 08:55 | cemerick | Clojure doesn't bind functions up with objects or values. That's integral to composability. |
| 08:56 | cemerick | Beyond that, there's tonnes of ways to introspect the environment and see what's available. |
| 08:57 | joly | ,(apropos "count") |
| 08:57 | clojurebot | (*initial-report-counters* *report-counters* inc-report-counter ref-history-count counted? ...) |
| 08:57 | theignorati | is there a better way of doing this: (list (.getCommand m) (.getChannel m) (.getData1 m) (.getData2 m))? |
| 08:57 | TimMc | ,(apropos "^count") |
| 08:57 | clojurebot | () |
| 08:57 | TimMc | hrmf |
| 08:58 | cemerick | ,(apropos #"^count") |
| 08:58 | clojurebot | (counted? count) |
| 08:58 | TimMc | yay |
| 08:58 | joly | I like find-doc as well |
| 08:59 | cemerick | Quite the anachronism. |
| 08:59 | chouser | theignorati: hm, maybe (map (bean m) [:command :channel :data1 :data2]) |
| 09:02 | theignorati | nope |
| 09:03 | vijaykiran | theignorati: you can use juxt ? |
| 09:04 | vijaykiran | ,(doc juxt) |
| 09:04 | clojurebot | "([f] [f g] [f g h] [f g h & fs]); Alpha - name subject to change. Takes a set of functions and returns a fn that is the juxtaposition of those fns. The returned fn takes a variable number of args, and returns a vector containing the result of applying each fn to the args (left-to-right). ((juxt a b c) x) => [(a x) (b x) (c x)]" |
| 09:04 | chouser | I don't think juxt will work because those are methods not functions |
| 09:04 | chouser | theignorati: bean doesn't work on that object? |
| 09:04 | theignorati | no |
| 09:05 | chouser | theignorati: Then I think you're done. A macro might help, but I don't think there's any in core that will help. |
| 09:06 | chouser | theignorati: and even if you wrote one yourself it wouldn't be any more efficient than what you have, and hardly any more succinct. |
| 09:08 | theignorati | ok |
| 09:08 | theignorati | thanks |
| 09:10 | Scorchin | I currently have a sequence of strings: ("1" "3" "4" "s"). How do I strip out the non-integers and convert the actual integers into ints? |
| 09:11 | TimMc | theignorati: What you have currently is also pretty readable. |
| 09:15 | chouser | Scorchin: (->> ["1" "3" "4" "s"] (filter #(re-matches #"\d+" %)) (map #(Integer/parseInt %))) |
| 09:15 | agz | Schorchin: (map load-string (filter #(re-find #"[0-9]+" %) ["1" "2" "3" "s" "S"])) |
| 09:15 | agz | pff :) |
| 09:15 | chouser | :-) |
| 09:16 | chouser | yours is shorter! |
| 09:16 | agz | yours more efficient! :) |
| 09:16 | Scorchin | :0 |
| 09:16 | chouser | read-string would be a bit better than load-string |
| 09:17 | agz | chouser: yep, I though there is a better one :) |
| 09:18 | chouser | ,(re-find #"[0-9]+" "123xyz") |
| 09:18 | clojurebot | "123" |
| 09:18 | chouser | ,(read-string "123xyz") |
| 09:18 | clojurebot | #<NumberFormatException java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid number: 123xyz> |
| 09:18 | chouser | ,(Integer/parseInt "123xyz") |
| 09:18 | clojurebot | #<NumberFormatException java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "123xyz"> |
| 09:19 | chouser | ,(read-string "#=(java.lang.System/exit)") |
| 09:19 | clojurebot | #<RuntimeException java.lang.RuntimeException: EvalReader not allowed when *read-eval* is false.> |
| 09:20 | cemerick | "The sandboxes turn it off; it's not so hard for everyone else to as well!" </snark> |
| 09:25 | babilen | How would I find numbers in other scripts? E.g. -- (re-find #"????" "123xyz二四五") → "123二四五" ? |
| 09:25 | Scorchin | chouser, agz: that was really helpful, thanks. Although I'm now trying to work out how it works :/ |
| 09:26 | michaelr525 | how do you people work with git from emacs? |
| 09:27 | mprentice | michaelr525: magit |
| 09:28 | michaelr525 | thanks, will check |
| 09:28 | raek | babilen: see \p in http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html |
| 09:29 | michaelr525 | and what about an integrated "shell" when working with emacs on windows? |
| 09:29 | mprentice | michaelr525: i have magit-status as "C-c g" |
| 09:30 | michaelr525 | mprentice: hmm? |
| 09:30 | mprentice | michaelr525: that was in reference to magit, not your shell question |
| 09:31 | babilen | raek: Anything in particular you are thinking about? \p{Digit} is (as stated) us-ascii only |
| 09:31 | mprentice | michaelr525: on mine, M-x shell brings up an interface to Windows Powershell, but i don't use it that way so i can't help you much |
| 09:31 | raek | babilen: sorry, I was thinking about the unicode category feature (which also uses \p) |
| 09:32 | babilen | raek: No problem. :) |
| 09:32 | michaelr525 | mprentice: ok thanks. why did you map C-c g to magit-status? |
| 09:33 | mprentice | michaelr525: magit works in a buffer brought up with magit-status. it's not an interface to the emacs version stuff. |
| 09:33 | michaelr525 | ah, I see! |
| 09:33 | michaelr525 | will have to try that |
| 09:34 | mprentice | michaelr525: when i tried it git-vcs or whatever it was called didn't work out of the box, and i didn't have the patience to set it up :P |
| 09:35 | raek | babilen: it looks like 二 has the unicode category "OTHER_LETTER" and is not considered a digit... |
| 09:37 | raek | I was expecting that the Nd (decimal digit number) category would work for CJK numerals too |
| 09:39 | raek | babilen: see the last table: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/4e8c/index.htm |
| 09:41 | raek | ,(re-find #"\p{Nd}+" "123١٢٣一二三") |
| 09:41 | clojurebot | "123١٢٣" |
| 09:41 | babilen | raek: I have to confess that I am mildly surprised |
| 09:42 | babilen | raek: I know that this is far from being a Clojure issue and thank you for giving an example with other scripts, but seriously: wtf! :) |
| 09:43 | pjstadig | the goal of Unicode is to have a way of encoding glyphs, it's goals do not include encoding semantic meaning |
| 09:43 | pjstadig | except where it's necessary for backwards compatibility with existing encodings |
| 09:45 | babilen | pjstadig: Yes - but that means that if you want to find all numbers in a text you *have* to hardcode all characters that denote numerals for every single script. |
| 09:47 | michaelr525 | mprentice: i've staged some files but hitting c in the staging buffer asks me Nothing changed. Commit all unstaged changes? |
| 09:47 | michaelr525 | wtf? |
| 09:49 | raek | also, different cultures have different rules for what a letter is. maybe there isn't much disagreement on what is a numeral, but in that case this would be one of few things in unicode whose rules everyone agree upon |
| 09:51 | michaelr525 | mprentice: Sorry, it says: Nothing staged. Commit all unstaged changes? |
| 09:52 | michaelr525 | but i have 4 staged files right here in the buffer |
| 10:00 | mprentice | michaelr525: strange. i'm not familiar enough to know why it would do that :/ |
| 10:03 | babilen | raek, pjstadig: Well, I have to dive deeper into this -- Seems to be either a bug in the unihan database or java's regex implementation. (IMHO "(?u)\d" *should* match "三") -- I'll take it to #unicode and #java. Thanks so far :) |
| 10:05 | cemerick | babilen: \d is equivalent to [0-9], and the 'u' flag only impacts case-insensitivity. Not sure why \d would match cn characters in any case. |
| 10:08 | babilen | cemerick: Forgive me -- I am from a Python background and (?u) behaves differently there -- All I meant was "There should be a character class (i.e. Digit) that matches 三 |
| 10:08 | babilen | " |
| 10:10 | cemerick | babilen: Except that there isn't. :-) |
| 10:11 | cemerick | There are multiple "number systems" in CJK AFAIK. There's 一, but there's also… |
| 10:11 | cemerick | 壹 (had to hit wikipedia for that one) |
| 10:12 | cemerick | babilen: Why not just use your own character class? [一二三…] |
| 10:12 | babilen | Yes, I know -- but all of them have kPrimaryNumeric set -- It seems to be specific to unihan -- Note http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/#Numeric_Value and http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/#Numeric_Type_Han |
| 10:13 | babilen | cemerick: I was hoping to find a solution for *all* scripts as hardcoding these will mean a lot of work for me. |
| 10:14 | raek | babilen: maybe ICU4J is useful for you: http://site.icu-project.org/ |
| 10:14 | chouser | babilen: you only want to match numbers, or also get their values? |
| 10:14 | raek | (in case Java misses some features) |
| 10:15 | babilen | chouser: Right now I only want to match them, converting them to their kPrimaryValue would be nice to have, but is not necessary right now. |
| 10:15 | babilen | raek: I'll take a look. |
| 10:15 | babilen | I'm working in cross-lingual natural language processing and *have* to deal with different scripts/languages |
| 10:25 | michaelr525 | heya! |
| 11:06 | Netpilgrim | Hi. Could someone be so kind to critique my code at https://gist.github.com/1165353? It's working, am just wondering if it could be made more idiomatic. |
| 11:09 | Netpilgrim | Also coming from Java I'm still not too comfortable without types. Is there a way to at least make sure that a function parameter is e.g. a two-dimensional array/seq? |
| 11:09 | raek | Netpilgrim: use hyphens instead of underscores in names. #(length-counts %) --> length-counts. (map (fn [x] ...) coll) --> (for [x coll] ...) |
| 11:10 | raek | don't use ==, use = |
| 11:10 | Netpilgrim | OK. Thanks. |
| 11:11 | Netpilgrim | raek: I thought == would be more effizient with numbers. |
| 11:11 | Netpilgrim | s/effizient/efficient/ |
| 11:11 | lazybot | <Netpilgrim> raek: I thought == would be more efficient with numbers. |
| 11:12 | raek | Netpilgrim: also, find-paths can probably be implemented by passing the "state" (paths) as a parameter instead of mutating the atom |
| 11:12 | raek | it's not very ideomatic to use mutation for computations in clojure |
| 11:13 | arohner | Netpilgrim: == is more efficient for numbers. it should be used when you know you're dealing with numbers, and performance is important. (I have no idea whether that applies to your case) |
| 11:13 | Netpilgrim | raek: OK, this is probably a big one. I'll try to rewrite the function. |
| 11:14 | Netpilgrim | raek: Can for always be used instead of map? What are the advantages? |
| 11:15 | raek | you cannot use for if you want to take from multiple collections in lock step |
| 11:15 | raek | for just one coll, you can always use 'for' |
| 11:16 | raek | I prefer it since it indents much prettier with bigger expressions |
| 11:17 | Netpilgrim | raek: I wasn't too sure about for, map just seemed made for this purpose. |
| 11:19 | Netpilgrim | Is ((set xs) x) the correct way to test if an element part of a seq? |
| 11:19 | raek | yes. if you are going to test many times, store (set xs) instead of xs |
| 11:20 | Netpilgrim | raek: Ok |
| 11:21 | raek | Netpilgrim: yeah, 'map' is the more simple form, and 'for' is syntactic sugar for certain common tasks |
| 11:22 | Netpilgrim | But I should be OK if I always use for except when working on multiple collections in parallel? |
| 11:23 | raek | yes. but 'map' is probably shorter if you have an existing function instead of an anonymous function |
| 11:24 | Netpilgrim | Hm, so it just comes back to “it depends”. :) |
| 11:24 | raek | yeah :) |
| 11:24 | raek | if you need to write the map expression on more than one line, maybe for looks better |
| 11:26 | Netpilgrim | raek: I've just rewritten am_to_al with for and it looks better. I think the fact that the name of the collection comes to the front of the expression improves the readability. |
| 11:28 | Netpilgrim | raek: Hyphens in symbol names look really odd to me but I guess I better keep to the established style. |
| 11:29 | raek | Netpilgrim: you could probably implement the adjacency lists as a set of [from to] pairs |
| 11:30 | dnolen | refining the pattern match api for arrays and bits, Object Oriented Macros, http://dosync.posterous.com/object-oriented-macros, upvote on HN por favor |
| 11:31 | Netpilgrim | raek: But then I couldn't get all children with (adj-lists parent). |
| 11:35 | Netpilgrim | raek: To come back to == and =. What exactly is the difference? == Seems to be only defined for numbers, so I thought it might be more efficient there. |
| 11:37 | ambrosebs | I'm having some trouble combining dynamic binding with macros. I don't understand why the last form returns false https://gist.github.com/1165470 |
| 11:40 | Chousuke | ambrosebs: macro expansion is done at compile time, while the binding happens at runtime |
| 11:41 | ambrosebs | Chousuke: cheers, that makes sense. |
| 11:42 | Chousuke | if the macro returned the symbol *test1* instead then that would work |
| 11:44 | khaliG | hm, using set! i'm getting the error "Can't change/establish root binding of: *foo* with set" |
| 11:45 | ambrosebs | Chousuke: the problem I'm trying to solve is wrapping a macro in a `binding` form, which triggers behaviour during macro expansion |
| 11:45 | ambrosebs | impossible? |
| 11:47 | Chousuke | ambrosebs: yeah, that's not really possible |
| 11:48 | Chousuke | you could use eval to make something that "works" but I think then you have more problems than you solve :P |
| 11:48 | ambrosebs | :) |
| 11:48 | ambrosebs | I can work around it, but did cause some headaches |
| 11:49 | Chousuke | you can use a global bindable variable and set! it though |
| 11:49 | ambrosebs | looks like that's the best way |
| 11:49 | Chousuke | compilation and execution happens sequentially so if you set! something in a global it will affect macroexpansions later in the code. It's still somewhat hackish though :P |
| 11:50 | ambrosebs | the variable activates trace printing and debugging, so it's not that crucial to be fine grained |
| 11:51 | ambrosebs | although it was a nice-to-have |
| 11:51 | ambrosebs | possibly :) |
| 11:51 | Netpilgrim | raek: I have to leave now. Thanks for your help. |
| 11:52 | Chousuke | ambrosebs: yeah, that sounds like something you can just have as a global variable |
| 11:56 | raek | Netpilgrim: https://gist.github.com/1165579 |
| 11:56 | raek | (find-paths without mutation) |
| 11:58 | raek | Netpilgrim: yes the adj.list suggestion was not a very good idea :) |
| 11:59 | khaliG | am i missing something in using set!? :/ |
| 11:59 | babilen | And for example: (Python) re.findall(r'(?u)\d+', "123xyz١٢٣二四五") → ['123', '١٢٣'] (Clojure/java) (re-find #"\p{Nd}+" "123١٢٣一二三") → "123١٢٣" |
| 11:59 | babilen | And for example: (Python) re.findall(r'(?u)\d+', "123xyz١٢٣二四五") → ['123', '١٢٣'] (Clojure/java) (re-find #"\p{Nd}+" "123١٢٣一二三") → "123١٢٣" |
| 11:59 | babilen | (disregard that ECHAN, sorry) |
| 12:01 | raek | Netpilgrim: honestly, I don't really know. = works for everything and I haven't used == myself yet. perhaps it works as java's ==, but only for numbers. |
| 12:01 | raek | babilen: so does python have the same problem? |
| 12:02 | raek | (also, the clojure version of re.findall would be re-seq) |
| 12:03 | Netpilgrim | raek: Thanks for the code. Honestly I don't know why I thought I'd need the atom. |
| 12:04 | babilen | raek: hehe, thanks -- Python's "二".isnumeric() → True -- Haven't found a good aequivalent in Java/Clojure yet -- Also Python's regex module is supposed to work better. Am still investigating -- I'll let you know when I'm done. |
| 12:07 | pjstadig | babilen: wouldn't something like Character/isDigit be the Java equivalent? |
| 12:07 | pjstadig | assuming it wasn't brojen |
| 12:07 | pjstadig | er broken |
| 12:08 | raek | ,(Character/isDigit \二) |
| 12:08 | clojurebot | false |
| 12:08 | pjstadig | or you're looking for a way to take a string and say "is this a number (assuming I parsed it") |
| 12:08 | babilen | yes ^^^ that is exactly the problem |
| 12:08 | babilen | pjstadig: That is what I am looking for |
| 12:09 | pjstadig | i've never really liked Java for string processing |
| 12:09 | raek | at least string are sequences of characters and not bytes :-) |
| 12:09 | pjstadig | hehe |
| 12:10 | pjstadig | i was going to say python and ruby are better for that, but ruby...hmm |
| 12:10 | babilen | So, this is a bug in Java? |
| 12:10 | raek | babilen: I think the isDigit property is specified in the unicode standard |
| 12:10 | babilen | Well, it looks as if I have to use Python or Perl in that case |
| 12:10 | raek | python 3, I hope... |
| 12:10 | babilen | sure |
| 12:14 | babilen | well, isdigit and isnumeric are different .. http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/#Numeric_Value and indeed in Python: "二".isdigit() → False -- I am looking for a isnumeric function/method which seems to be missing in Java -- Recipes include Integer.parseInt + catching an exception. |
| 12:15 | cemerick | Looks like this Numeric_Value stuff came out in Unicode 5.2.0. (circa 9/2009). Wouldn't say that lack of support for it is a bug. |
| 12:16 | raek | babilen: maybe ICU4J provides it |
| 12:16 | raek | it is built for these kind of things |
| 12:17 | raek | http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt the unicode spec says 二 is of type "So", Other Symbol |
| 12:17 | raek | (entry for 4E8C) |
| 12:18 | babilen | raek: Yes, I still try to understand why 二 is not considered to be a number or Nl (Number/Letter) or whatever ... |
| 12:21 | cemerick | babilen: Surely python's .isnumeric isn't what you want. It apparently returns true for 2155 (⅕). |
| 12:23 | eyeris | cemerick: why do you consider 1/5 non-numeric? |
| 12:24 | babilen | cemerick: I know that I don't understand this as good as I should. But 2155 (⅕) most likely has Numeric_Type=Numeric in http://unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt with a value of 1/5 and in Python you get "unicodedata.numeric('⅕')" → 0.2 |
| 12:24 | cemerick | eyeris: babilen was talking about finding digits and integers within strings. I wouldn't think that that would include glyphs that represent one-fifth. |
| 12:25 | diogo | Hi. I want to develop in lisp/clojure using vim. I heard about slimv, but I'm unable to install it in my debian. |
| 12:25 | babilen | cemerick: I would settle for that -- It just means that I need additional tests (i.e. kPrimaryNumeric is an integer or so) |
| 12:25 | diogo | Anyone has an how-to install slimv on debian/linux |
| 12:25 | diogo | or any kind of troubleshooting for slimv? |
| 12:26 | eyeris | diogo: I don't know anything about slimv, but there is a VimClojure plugin on vim.sf.net |
| 12:27 | sjl | diogo: Slimv seems to work great with Pathogen on OS X -- there shouldn't be any problems on Debian. |
| 12:28 | babilen | diogo: I would recommend vimclojure -- I use slimv only for paredit -- you can see my vimrc on https://github.com/babilen/dotfiles/blob/master/vim/vimrc -- I can walk you through the installation later, but you will most likely want to use http://clojars.org/org.clojars.oskarkv/lein-vimclojure (leiningen plugin) to start the server. See https://bitbucket.org/kotarak/vimclojure for further information on vimclojure |
| 12:28 | cemerick | babilen: It seems like you really need to determine *what you want*, instead of looking/hoping for someone else's categorization to suit your requirements. In the end, you may just find it easier to slurp UnicodeData.txt, do a rough filter on it based on some coarse-grained criteria, and then curate that to yield the set that you want to define as numeric. |
| 12:29 | sjl | diogo: babilen: I actually do the opposite -- I use Slimv with two files from VimClojure :) |
| 12:29 | babilen | diogo: If you are on Debian you can easily install leiningen and clojure from the Debian packages. Give me 30 minutes and I walk you through this, OK? |
| 12:29 | babilen | sjl: I would love to learn about your setup :) |
| 12:30 | babilen | cemerick: Yes, that is very true. I want to find all digits in a text and am surprised that 二 is not considered a digit in Unicode. |
| 12:30 | sjl | babilen: It's basically Slimv with VC's indent and syntax files. I like Slimv's repl and keybindings (especially since they're the same when I do lisp or clojure) but VC's indentation and syntax are way better |
| 12:31 | sjl | babilen: I made a fork of Slimv where I replaced the files, and I try to keep it updated: https://bitbucket.org/sjl/slimv |
| 12:31 | babilen | sjl: thanks -- I'll take a look |
| 12:32 | babilen | diogo: Which branch of Debian are you tracking? |
| 12:32 | sjl | Oh awesome, Slimv fixed the cw/whitespace problem. https://bitbucket.org/kovisoft/slimv/changeset/75c81a22a1a6 |
| 12:38 | babilen | diogo: Install leiningen + clojure according to http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/686569edb1c76df1 -- then configure vim to use vimclojure+slimv -- you also have to install the nailgun client and the leiningen plugin. The former is explained on https://bitbucket.org/kotarak/vimclojure and the latter is done with 'lein plugin install org.clojars.oskarkv/lein-vimclojure "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT"' |
| 12:38 | babilen | (this should be easier) |
| 12:51 | chewbranca | diogo: I got slimv working with pathogen and https://github.com/vim-scripts/slimv.vim, and just installing the swank clojure plugin: https://github.com/technomancy/swank-clojure |
| 12:51 | chewbranca | diogo: working config here: https://github.com/chewbranca/rc_files/tree/master/vim |
| 12:54 | babilen | diogo: I recommend vundle instead of pathogen though |
| 13:00 | chewbranca | babilen: vundle seems overly complicated, I like that pathogen keeps the logic and process of fetching git repos in the hands of git |
| 13:01 | chewbranca | babilen: just two different approaches to the same problem though, either way is much much better than just dumping everything manually into ~/.vim |
| 13:01 | babilen | chewbranca: As does vundle -- you don't have to use its ":BundleInstall" but it makes it easier. (OT though → #vim) |
| 13:03 | srid | icey: speaking of refactoring clojure code, checkout http://blog.darevay.com/2011/08/briefly-the-arity-reduce-pattern-in-clojure/ |
| 13:04 | icey | srid: cool, thanks man - i'm actually doing all the refactoring we talked about last night right now :) |
| 13:04 | srid | icey: in an oss project on github? (just wondering if i can take a look at the commits) |
| 13:05 | icey | srid: just using gists at the moment https://gist.github.com/1164329 |
| 13:09 | icey | srid: i got more feedback on this other file, but i'm still working on it... it's in a proper git repo though: https://github.com/pmn/peeranoia/blob/master/src/peeranoia/core.clj |
| 13:11 | diogo | thank you |
| 13:16 | Scorchin | If I have a sequences of strings (words), how do I track the frequencies? Do I need to create keys for each word in a new map? |
| 13:30 | srid | Scorchin: yes, why not? recur on (assoc freq word (inc (or (freq word) 0)))? |
| 13:31 | Scorchin | srid: Thanks, I figured it out. Needed to convert the strings into keys :) |
| 13:38 | scottj | srid: another way to write that fyi: (update-in freq [word] (fnil inc 0)) |
| 13:41 | srid | scottj: good to know, thx! |
| 13:42 | Scorchin | Is there a limit on the size of a data structure that slime/swank can handle? Is there any way to increase this? |
| 13:42 | amalloy | &(doc frequencies) |
| 13:42 | lazybot | ⇒ "([coll]); Returns a map from distinct items in coll to the number of times they appear." |
| 13:42 | amalloy | Scorchin: if your data is strings, converting them to keywords is generally pointless |
| 13:45 | Scorchin | amalloy: mapping them to lowercase strings and then running "frequencies" against on the produced lazy list seemed to do the job |
| 13:53 | Scorchin | I think I might be loading too much data for clojure/emacs to handle :/ |
| 13:53 | Scorchin | "variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size" |
| 13:54 | Scorchin | the odd thing is that it's only a 2mb json file that I'm playing with |
| 13:58 | srid | 4clojure throws java.util.concurrent.RejectedExecutionException despite having a ~/.java.policy file as described; any clues? the exception doesn't tell which point in the 4clojure source it arises. |
| 14:01 | amalloy | srid: sounds more like a lein problem |
| 14:02 | amalloy | there were a couple versions of lein released that did this for any app that spins up agents or futures (and we use an agent) |
| 14:45 | AWizzArd | Anyone here who knows Nexus, Archiva, Artifactory or any such tool? What I want is a server that can serve me jars in my internal network. The jars I want to put in there manually, and it can not access clojars or any maven repo. But for Leiningen I want it to look like a valid source. |
| 14:46 | hiredman | AWizzArd: you just need a webserver that understands put / get |
| 14:47 | hiredman | the smarts are all actually in mvn, not in the repo |
| 14:49 | cemerick | AWizzArd: What hiredman said; though I happen to use Nexus. It works, and has a lot of nice extras. |
| 14:50 | cemerick | I've also started using S3 as a public maven repo, which is really nice for separate public-facing stuff. |
| 14:50 | Somelauw | Emacs keeps changing fn into a curly f. And I can't figure out why. |
| 14:50 | AWizzArd | cemerick: so, Nexus could be installed on a local machine, and then I can dump some jars in some dir and have maven/leiningen/cake use the Repo it provides? |
| 14:50 | danlarkin | chas has an inexplicable affinity for software labeled "enterprise" |
| 14:51 | cemerick | AWizzArd: Yes, though if you're doing something that simple, just use apache or nginx or whatever. |
| 14:51 | amalloy | Somelauw: someone clever included that in some starter package |
| 14:51 | cemerick | I'm pretty sure I've never used anything labelled "enterprise". |
| 14:52 | AWizzArd | ah oki |
| 14:52 | cemerick | Shibboleths, they come and go. |
| 14:52 | amalloy | i think it also changes #(...) into λ(...) |
| 14:52 | Somelauw | amalloy: It seems confusing to me, but after some tests I figured out it was treated as fn. |
| 14:53 | amalloy | Somelauw: yes, i don't think i'd like it, but it's just a visual change |
| 14:53 | Somelauw | amalloy: It doesn't do that lambda trick but my version might be old. |
| 14:53 | cemerick | danlarkin: I thought the knock on me was that I've never met an XML element I didn't like, etc? :-P |
| 14:54 | danlarkin | well that too |
| 14:54 | danlarkin | but maven's got it all |
| 14:55 | hiredman | all that ecosystem |
| 14:56 | pjstadig | but...but...you can specify the developers who are involved, and what their roles are |
| 14:58 | cemerick | Reminds me of Annie Hall, where Alvy recalls the Marx quote… "wouldn't want to be in any club that would have someone like me as a member" |
| 14:58 | AWizzArd | That seems to be a funny and *very* lightweight server *lol* http://www.jibble.org/miniwebserver/ |
| 14:58 | amalloy | Somelauw: looks like it's in emacs starter kit: https://github.com/technomancy/emacs-starter-kit/blob/master/starter-kit-lisp.el#L59 |
| 15:01 | amalloy | so if you don't like it, that's where you'd turn it off |
| 15:01 | Somelauw | I still need to watch Annie Hall. |
| 15:02 | arohner | Somelauw: yes. though don't do it if you're getting over a sad/bitter break-up |
| 15:03 | arohner | does 'case' not work with constant expressions? |
| 15:03 | arohner | (int \newline) is failing me |
| 15:04 | arohner | but 10 works |
| 15:04 | amalloy | arohner: no, it doesn't do that |
| 15:04 | arohner | :-( |
| 15:04 | amalloy | (int \newline) will succeed if you pass in '(int \newline) |
| 15:05 | amalloy | just use condp =? |
| 15:05 | arohner | I'm trying to build a fast parser |
| 15:05 | arohner | '(int \newline) isn't matching for me |
| 15:05 | amalloy | arohner: no, i mean, if your case clause is (int \newline), and the data you test it against is '(int \newline) |
| 15:06 | arohner | amalloy: ah, I get it. thanks |
| 15:06 | amalloy | though that might not be true. seems like it should be |
| 15:07 | arohner | I'm reading a char out of a reader, so I need to handle -1, plus a few chars like \newline. I can't put \newline in the case, because .read returns an int. |
| 15:07 | arohner | and (char -1) fails |
| 15:11 | danlarkin | arohner: (char -1) fails because now casts check validate their inputs |
| 15:11 | arohner | danlarkin: that's fine. I'd be happy if case accepted constant expressions to match against. i.e. (int \newline) |
| 15:12 | aaelony | hi, with-query-results from clojure.contrib.sql will give me a vector of maps. Has someone written a function via Hiccup to mark this up into an HTML table ? |
| 15:12 | danlarkin | how do you determine what's constant and what's not? |
| 15:12 | amalloy | arohner: you can write a macro that expands to 10 instead of (int \newline), or you can hardcode 10 and put in a comment |
| 15:12 | arohner | danlarkin: assume intelligence on part of the developer. "whatever you return the first time we call expr is what we match against" |
| 15:13 | arohner | amalloy: yeah, I'll probably do that |
| 15:13 | hiredman | or you can (case (char c) \newline ...) |
| 15:13 | amalloy | hiredman: but that fails for -1, which i think was his point |
| 15:14 | hiredman | amalloy: which is why you put an if (pos? ...) around it |
| 15:14 | hiredman | arohner: not possible in the compiler |
| 15:14 | arohner | hiredman: yeah, but that's ugly because you split up your cond. I'll make a macro |
| 15:15 | hiredman | case has to know the hashcodes of the values at compile time |
| 15:15 | arohner | hiredman: yeah? a macro can do the job, so the compiler should be able to |
| 15:15 | amalloy | hiredman: i thought i understood (case), but (case '(a) (a) 1) fails, while (case 'a a 1) succeeds. what am i missing? |
| 15:16 | cemerick | amalloy: Lists are for grouping multiple test expressions. (case '(a) ((a)) 1) works. |
| 15:16 | amalloy | oh |
| 15:17 | hiredman | ,(case '(a) [a] 1) |
| 15:17 | clojurebot | 1 |
| 15:17 | hiredman | ,(case 'a (a b) 1) |
| 15:17 | clojurebot | 1 |
| 15:17 | hiredman | ,(case 'b (a b) 1) |
| 15:17 | clojurebot | 1 |
| 15:17 | amalloy | okay. the world is back to sanity; thanks guys |
| 15:17 | hiredman | wild |
| 15:17 | amalloy | i didn't even know that was a feature that existed |
| 15:20 | amalloy | &(doc case) |
| 15:20 | lazybot | ⇒ "Macro ([e & clauses]); Takes an expression, and a set of clauses. Each clause can take the form of either: test-constant result-expr (test-constant1 ... test-constantN) result-expr The test-constants are not evaluated. They must be compile-time literals, and need n... http://gist.github.com/1166207 |
| 15:22 | cemerick | case has some easter eggs in it. Like, falling back to equality upon hash collisions (thanks to ataggart). |
| 15:22 | amalloy | yeah, i remember that one |
| 15:25 | hiredman | isn't equality the 4th hard thing in computer science? |
| 15:29 | cemerick | hiredman: what's #3? |
| 15:29 | joly | naming, caching, ______, and equality? |
| 15:29 | manutter | #3 is "coding in the absence of caffeine" |
| 15:29 | dpritchett | Does MVC exist in clojureland? I've been trying to figure out the point behind the Railsy "Fat Controllers, Skinny Models" mantra and how it might apply to my Django project. I haven't really figured it out yet but it occurred to me that some #clojure minds might have more experience than I do. |
| 15:30 | Somelauw | Hi, I have the feeling that reduce is often a bit unreadable or is it just me? |
| 15:30 | danlarkin | it's you |
| 15:30 | cemerick | dpritchett: Not a lot, no…unless you consider simple functions to be controllers. |
| 15:30 | dEPy | Fat controllers and skinny models? |
| 15:30 | arohner | cemerick: you forgot off-by-one errors |
| 15:30 | dEPy | Isn't it the way around... |
| 15:30 | dEPy | ? |
| 15:30 | arohner | the two hardest things in CS are naming, cache-invalidation and off-by-one errors |
| 15:30 | amalloy | well, maybe you'll get lucky and never have to write code that knows about more than one element of a seq at a time, Somelauw |
| 15:31 | mabes | Somelauw: once you have used the concept/pattern a lot reduce looks quite natural. if you've never used a function like that in another language it may be confusing at first |
| 15:32 | Somelauw | amalloy, mabes: Here is some code that I think looks complicated http://ideone.com/FS3RI |
| 15:32 | hiredman | cemerick: off by one errors |
| 15:32 | dpritchett | you're right dEPy the models are supposed to be fat |
| 15:32 | Somelauw | And case is a valid macro nowadays. ideone is just old. |
| 15:32 | dpritchett | My current django project has 3.5x more LoC in the controller than the models, I was wondering if I am doing this wrong ;) |
| 15:33 | Somelauw | Code should work. |
| 15:33 | amalloy | Somelauw: reduce with destructuring over the accumulator can look confusing if you're not used to it |
| 15:34 | mabes | Somelauw: FWIW, that doesn't seem confusing to me |
| 15:34 | amalloy | reduce takes only one accumulator, so he's reducing over a vector of [mapping, stack] pairs, and each iteration he's pulling it apart and reconstituting it |
| 15:35 | Somelauw | If I didn't write it myself, I probably wouldn't be able to guess what it does. |
| 15:35 | amalloy | oh, you wrote it yourself? then the fact that i was able to explain it to you should reassure you that it's not confusing |
| 15:36 | Somelauw | Yes. I was just wondering if anybody except me would understand it. |
| 15:37 | amalloy | Somelauw: fwiw, i'd use count instead of .length; probably (let) the result of (peek stack); and maybe use assoc instead of conj |
| 15:40 | Somelauw | Still your explanation of the codeis not really complete. |
| 15:40 | Somelauw | amalloy: I agree on those points. |
| 15:41 | Somelauw | You didn't describe what it does return. |
| 15:44 | Somelauw | This might spoiler it, but it returns a map with the positions of brackets associated to the matching bracket. |
| 15:44 | amalloy | Somelauw: well, the most-recent positions of brackets, right? you're conjing onto a map, not a seq |
| 15:45 | gregh | joly: there are two things: naming, caching, and off-by-one errors. |
| 15:45 | amalloy | &(conj {} {\[ 2, 2 \[}, {\[ 5, 5 \[}) |
| 15:45 | lazybot | ⇒ {5 \[, 2 \[, \[ 5} |
| 15:45 | amalloy | note that [ maps only to 5; you've lost the 2, if you intended to keep it |
| 15:47 | joly | just passed that one around the office :) |
| 15:48 | manutter | joly (and arohner): that is a good one. |
| 15:55 | Somelauw | amalloy: Nothing should get overwritten in the map. |
| 15:56 | amalloy | Somelauw: oh right, x is the index, not the character |
| 15:56 | Somelauw | amalloy: Right. |
| 15:56 | amalloy | that's the part i found hardest to keep in my head :P |
| 15:56 | Somelauw | The alternative is to make the reduce iterate through 3 lists because I need the positions. |
| 15:57 | amalloy | Somelauw: code is what, a vector? |
| 15:58 | Somelauw | A string containing [ and ] and other chars. |
| 15:59 | Somelauw | Although a vector of chars and a string are almost the same. |
| 15:59 | amalloy | you can reduce over a list of pairs, which seems more self-documenting to me: (reduce (fn [[mapping stack] [c idx]] ...) [{} ()] (map (juxt identity #(get code %)) (range (count code)))) |
| 15:59 | amalloy | or at least use a name that implies an integer count, like i or n; x is very confusing there |
| 16:00 | amalloy | (and i guess that should be [idx c], if it's going to match up with my juxt) |
| 16:00 | jkkramer | ,(map-indexed vector "abc") |
| 16:00 | clojurebot | ([0 \a] [1 \b] [2 \c]) |
| 16:05 | amalloy | ah, that's nicer, of course |
| 16:14 | Somelauw | I think it is getting readable. |
| 16:15 | Somelauw | http://ideone.com/mFEtf |
| 16:16 | Somelauw | Sorry, I pasted the old one again |
| 16:16 | ldh | I'm calling 'map' on a collection, but ultimately i want the results put into a set instead of a lazy-seq. is there a better way than (apply hash-set (map f coll))? |
| 16:17 | Somelauw | This is what it looks now: http://ideone.com/YENwp |
| 16:19 | hiredman | ,(doc set) |
| 16:19 | clojurebot | "([coll]); Returns a set of the distinct elements of coll." |
| 16:19 | Somelauw | Thanks guys. |
| 16:21 | ldh | hiredman: ah, of course. (set (map f coll)). That's better. |
| 16:26 | arohner | dnolen: (match foo [foo & rest :foo]) just made my day! |
| 16:27 | dnolen | arohner: nice! :) |
| 16:27 | dnolen | someone's trying to red-black trees, but that needs to wait for vectors patterns. |
| 16:27 | arohner | dnolen: one of those "I wonder if this will work..." moments, where it goes your way :-) |
| 16:28 | dnolen | arohner: it had better work! there are tests in there man! |
| 17:52 | patchwork | hey all, trying to use swank-clojure with emacs https://github.com/technomancy/swank-clojure |
| 17:52 | patchwork | I keep getting a connection refused error when running M-x clojure-jack-in |
| 17:52 | patchwork | any clues where to start here? |
| 17:53 | patchwork | emacs 23 on macosx |
| 17:53 | patchwork | clojure-mode works fine otherwise |
| 17:54 | chewbranca | patchwork: you did the lein plugin install swank-clojure I take it? |
| 17:54 | patchwork | chewbranca: yep |
| 17:55 | chewbranca | patchwork: hrmm... maybe try jumping into your project with the command line and run lein swank to see if there is any errors; other than that, not sure |
| 17:55 | patchwork | the actual error: "error in process filter: make client process failed: connection refused, :name, SLIME Lisp, :buffer, nil, :host, localhost, :service, 63232" |
| 17:55 | patchwork | lein swank works fine |
| 17:56 | patchwork | "Connection opened on port 4005" |
| 17:56 | patchwork | while that is running if I do slime-connect I get the same error |
| 17:57 | hiredman | can you ping localhost? |
| 17:58 | patchwork | is it an issue with emacs then? |
| 17:58 | patchwork | Yeah, pinging localhost works fine |
| 17:58 | hiredman | can you telnet to localhost 4005 ? |
| 17:59 | chewbranca | that error message looks like its trying to connect on port 63232, rather than 4005, I'm not familiar with the emacs side of things, but could that be the issue? |
| 17:59 | patchwork | When I do slime-connect it tries 4005 |
| 18:00 | patchwork | clojure-jack-in starts its own process, so I assume that is where it gets the port from |
| 18:00 | hiredman | clojure-jack-in uses a a random port |
| 18:00 | patchwork | telnet localhost 4005 fails |
| 18:00 | patchwork | connection refused? |
| 18:00 | hiredman | maybe a firewall issue |
| 18:00 | patchwork | weird |
| 18:01 | patchwork | firewall, between me and my own computer? |
| 18:01 | patchwork | how did that happen? |
| 18:01 | amalloy | patchwork: windows does that |
| 18:01 | hiredman | dunno |
| 18:01 | patchwork | I'm on macosx |
| 18:01 | patchwork | strange |
| 18:02 | patchwork | any idea how to troubleshoot? I guess this is beyond the scope of #clojure now |
| 18:02 | hiredman | osx will sometimes popup a window asking if I want to let java connect to the internet |
| 18:03 | patchwork | not too familiar with local network settings |
| 18:15 | kencausey | I'm finally getting around to dnolen's NYC meetup talk (good stuff!) and I'm wondering if the slides have been posted somewhere yet. |
| 18:15 | amalloy | kencausey: on scribd, i think |
| 18:16 | dnolen | direct download from github here, https://github.com/downloads/swannodette/match/patterns.zip |
| 18:16 | AWizzArd | A friend yesterday told me how easy it was for him to use Match to optimize terms (: |
| 18:17 | dnolen | AWizzArd: cool! |
| 18:17 | kencausey | dnolen: thanks, I think I just found it on scribd, but that's probably better |
| 18:19 | Raynes | Offtopic: I've got Spotify invites. If anybody in the USA wants one, PM me an email address. |
| 18:22 | patchwork | interesting, here is my netcat line for lein swank: |
| 18:22 | patchwork | tcp4 0 0 10.0.1.120.4005 *.* LISTEN |
| 18:22 | patchwork | and I can telnet 10.0.1.120 4005 |
| 18:22 | patchwork | just not telnet 127.0.0.1 4005? |
| 18:22 | patchwork | (10.0.1.120 is my local network ip) |
| 18:22 | patchwork | how is that possible? |
| 18:22 | patchwork | *netstat |
| 18:25 | amalloy | patchwork: if it's only listening on the remote interface, then telnetting over the remote interface won't work |
| 18:26 | patchwork | Yeah, all I did was type "lein swank" |
| 18:26 | patchwork | it set up the port etc |
| 18:26 | patchwork | not sure how to tell it to listen on localhost rather than my local ip? |
| 18:26 | amalloy | *shrug* i'm just pointing out that it's entirely possible from the netstat point of view |
| 18:27 | patchwork | Yeah so it is expecting a remote connection then? |
| 18:27 | gtrak | how would I say... test a function just by defining a bunch of inputs and the corresponding outputs? |
| 18:28 | patchwork | is it some kind of lein setting I need to put somewhere? |
| 18:28 | amalloy | gtrak: in clojure.test? you probably want to use (are...) |
| 18:29 | gtrak | amalloy, I can't really define them outside the macro and pull it in, right? I'd need like a compile-time apply for that |
| 18:30 | gtrak | ah, I see there is apply-macro |
| 18:30 | amalloy | gtrak: god no. don't use that |
| 18:30 | gtrak | haha, ok |
| 18:30 | amalloy | you haven't made clear why you want to define them outside of the are clause |
| 18:31 | gtrak | I guess it doesn't really matter, it just seems like I should be able to do that |
| 18:34 | tomoj | define what? |
| 18:34 | gtrak | test-data outside of an is macro... then do something like... for the corresponding inputs and outputs, run this function on them |
| 18:35 | gtrak | do a proper error when something fails |
| 18:37 | gtrak | makes sense for say, the mathematical definition of a function, something that maps from inputs to outputs |
| 18:47 | Netpilgrim | gtrak: I'm a noob around Clojure, and perhaps I don't understand you correctly. But why don't you just put your test input and output in a map and do something like (doseq [input (keys testdata)] (assert (= (f input) (testdata input))))? |
| 18:48 | gtrak | yea, that's exactly what I'm about to do |
| 18:49 | gtrak | assert-predicate looks like the right thing to use |
| 18:51 | patchwork | I figured it out |
| 18:51 | patchwork | lein swank 4005 0.0.0.0 |
| 18:51 | patchwork | it was defaulting to the wrong interface |
| 18:51 | patchwork | is that a lein swank bug? |
| 18:52 | hiredman | 0.0.0.0 is every interface, which is a security risk, so lein defaults to 127.0.0.1 I believe |
| 18:52 | patchwork | Except that in my case it defaults to 10.0.1.120 |
| 18:53 | hiredman | that may be a bug in the way it figures out the ip for lo |
| 18:53 | patchwork | That is what I am wondering |
| 18:55 | hiredman | does localhost actually resolve to 127.0.0.1 for you? |
| 18:56 | hiredman | swank-clojure uses (InetAddress/getByName host) and host defaults to "localhost" |
| 19:01 | patchwork | localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1 |
| 19:02 | patchwork | PING localhost (127.0.0.1) |
| 19:51 | dnolen | chouser: what are quoting in your tweet? |
| 21:26 | hiredman | huh |
| 21:26 | hiredman | the release notes for 1.3 isssue in jira has been closed |

| 21:39 | jli | if I have a bunch of tiny web apps, is there a nice way to host them all in one place? say, have root.com/app1/whatever do the same thing as app1site.com/whatever ? |
| 21:40 | jli | I guess if each project exposed their handler, you could have a router site that used the first bit of the URI to route to the right sub-app, and strip the first part off in the process? |
| 21:41 | amalloy | jli: i use nginx to do that |
| 21:42 | jli | amalloy: cool, I'll look into it. thanks |
| 21:43 | amalloy | and i think that's basically jetty's default behavior, if you can figure out how to use it; i cna't |
| 21:47 | amalloy | fwiw, jli, subdomains are a "safer" way to do this than url prefixes. app1.root.com/whatever will work better, because app1 may include hrefs like /foo |
| 21:49 | hiredman | huh, there is a whole "clojure 1.3" dashboard in jira |
| 21:54 | jli | amalloy: yeah, that sounds nicer |
| 21:56 | jli | and I guess with wildcards in DNS, there's no extra administrative stuff to do, right? |
| 21:57 | amalloy | heh, i dunno. i'm not much of a server admin |
| 21:57 | jli | okay. I think it'd work :) |
| 22:13 | sleepynate | ok darevay, i know you're around here somewhere |
| 23:14 | ivan__ | hi all, im trying to add a plugin written in clojure to an existing java project, but am having problems with either the classpath or how im using clojure. I'm extending a class which works fine, but then if i try and call outside clj code, the clj compiler gives me erorrs. Am I missing somthing? (more details to follow) |
| 23:15 | ivan__ | ant output https://gist.github.com/b66ff83787d58ddf81c3 |
| 23:15 | ivan__ | my plugin https://github.com/hadashi/play-clojure/blob/master/src/play/modules/clojure/clojureplugin.clj, and the code it tries to call https://github.com/hadashi/play-clojure/blob/master/src/play/modules/clojure/util.clj |
| 23:43 | jjddb | hello |
| 23:43 | jjddb | might anyone be familiar with http.async.client? |
| 23:44 | jjddb | I am trying to figure out how to download a non-string file, like an mpr |
| 23:44 | jjddb | mp3 |
| 23:46 | jjddb | The closest I've gotten is this: |
| 23:47 | jjddb | (spit "ex.mp3" (with-open [cl (c/create-client)] (-> (c/GET cl "http://www.example.com/ex.mp3") (c/await) (c/string)))) |
| 23:48 | amalloy | jjddb: since you apparently don't care about asynchronicity, why not just use slurp? |
| 23:48 | jjddb | amalloy: hmm... let me try that |
| 23:49 | jjddb | yea, all I want is a simple get |
| 23:49 | amalloy | slurp might have a binary/text toggle, you'll want to check the docs |
| 23:59 | srid | i don't think so |
| 23:59 | srid | i had to use java.net.URL |
| 23:59 | srid | and then slurp the resulting stream |
