They all need diesel to run the equipment as well, which is also approaching all time highs.

What a welcome post. The whole reason I come here is to get thoughtful input from smart people, and not what I could get myself from an LLM. While we are at it; Think your own thou…

If I wanted to buy the data on myself to see what these brokers have. Is that possible? If so, Where should I go next?

The Clojure ecosystem embraced react early and built on top of it (with OM, Reagent and Re-Frame (for SPAs). The UI = f(applicationState) is definitely viewed as the correct approa…

One thing I've always liked about the Clojure community, is that they are obessesed with state. I think they have correctly identified, that when things go sideways, it is because …

What is the amount of time required for all the different chicken activities? (estimated weekly average)

If I am currently querying s3 parquet files with DuckDb, could I still do that with s3 tables, and what other advantages does this offer?

The best book on this is: Surveillance Valley: The Secret Military History of the Internet (Desc: The internet is the most effective weapon the government has ever built.) https://…

> upper bounds of a more general nature that R&R produce If it's an upper bound, it should be pretty easy to plug into the existing stuff under the hood in these solvers. Can you p…

All these solvers use branch and bound to explore the solution space and "fathom" (i.e. eliminate candidate search trees if the lowest possible value for the tree is above an alrea…

Why would it need to replace them? From the article, they claim they have found a way to reduce the upperbound faster when searching large Integer problems. I don't see how that ef…

For now, the new algorithm hasn’t actually been used to solve any logistical problems, since it would take too much work updating today’s programs to make use of it. But for Rothvo…

Thanks for the comment. What books would you recommend?

I wondered that initially as well. There are many factors at play: 1. Doing that would juice it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect 2.Each of these institutions brands …

Does anyone have any good book recommendations or links for insider knowledge of the JVM/Java? If Clojure focused all the better :)

When type checking is needed, I find the Truss library* does the trick quite well. As for the syntax, there is very little, which can make it a harder lift but once you have the ha…

Isn't that Clojure? (let [p obj] (if (instance? Point p) (let [x (.x p) y (.y p)] (println (+ x y))))

For what it's worth (speaking only for myself), I could not live without the threading macros (-> and ->>) in Clojure. Below is an example of some very involved ETL work I just did…

The language fundamentals of "Clojure for the Brave and True" (best intro to Clojure book IMO) is excellent (if you consider Clojure a lisp). I find the author's style/humor engagi…

DuckDB is "column oriented" vs "row oriented". I have found it 10x* faster for queries on data your size compared to SQLite or MySQL or Postgres. The added advantage of it being a …

I had a similar feeling after finishing the book. This YT video really helped frame the book for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UBOA00EAQw

Any one tried Polylith with the multi-method approach mentioned in the article?

I'm curious to how much time is allocated for writing these six pagers? Both total leadtime and actual writing time. Anyone with experience have any insight?
