Re: Look Ma, No Threads!

Even if you have to wait until your entire payload has been read (in your example your 50mb file) before you begin parsing, the non-blocking approach (in conjunction with a select loop) will mean your process is free to do other things while it's waiting for the IO to catch up. In this post, the code is 'doing something' while it's waiting for IO (printing a counter continuously), in this case 'waiting for IO' is waiting for the user to press a key, but if you were reading from a large file, it would give you the opportunity to do something else while you were waiting for the disk or for the network (if you were reading from a socket). I should follow this post up with an example of using select (or one of the *poll functions)...

I just started using Figwheel, this is great- it improves my ability to iterate on my projects. Thank you

Re: Leiningen

Thanks - keep in mind that this is pretty out of date at as of 2014. This article covers leiningen 1, which is no longer supported. There is a Leiningen 2 that is supported. Swank is also no longer considered supported, with NREPL and CIDR being what the community now recommends.

Re: How We Run Cucumber

Sorry, I only know how to do this under Unix (using #!/usr/bin/env ruby and chmod 755'ing the script). I haven't worked on an MS platform for a long time. There is an IronRuby project (though it may now be dormant). I haven't used it, but Google just found: http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/... HTH

Re: Creating Standalone Java Applications with Leiningen

You're welcome. It's also pretty easy to create a classpath based on the ./lib directory that lein sets up for you, that is if you don't want to wait for the uberjar to build. You should also take a look at cake: https://github.com/ninjudd/... which also looks like its a good build / dev tool for clojure.

Re: Automating Capistrano Password Prompts with Expect

Kyle Burton — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 09:34:32 -0000

Try putting an 'stty -echo' just before the 'send "$the_password\n"' and a 'stty echo' just after - that is how terminal echo was disabled for when the expect script prompted you for the password. I think that will work, can you give it a try?

Thanks! Would you be willing to give me a quick tutorial?

Wow, it's great to hear that I'm on the right track :)

We're doing the same re: fronting our application with nginx to get ssl and to serve static content. I want to do continuous deployment, and we're mostly doing that by hand...as we learn we'll automate each piece one at a time....

Thanks for your comment, its great to know others are out there too!

I had read code complete a long time ago, thanks for the recommendation.

I got the copy of 'On Lisp' from Lulu a few years ago - I like physical copies...the copy of CLTL2 I happened across at a book store a dozen or so years go so I just picked it up. So no, not a collector as such.

Re: Connecting SLIME a remote Clojure Repl

Thank you. I definitely didn't mean to imply that the image could be saved, I'm just used to calling it that. I'll make that change when I get a chance.

Re: Creating Executable Jars For Your Clojure Application

That's great advice. Thank you. I was trying to exhibit a stand-alone example.

The rss link is: http://asymmetrical-view.co... - is it not working for you?

Re: Programming Concepts People Just "Don't Get"

Kyle Burton — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 16:08:49 -0000

Monads are something that I know I don't yet grok and want to. Continuations are another. I have an idea of what they are and how they can be used, but I could not clearly articulate them to someone else. I'm also looking for the other stuff that I can't see, you're one of the people who is helping me with that.

This was good, make more like this, keep this going.
