How to Publish CLJSJS Jars to Clojars

I've been doing a lot of work in Clojurescript [https://github.com/littleredcomputer/sicmutils] lately, and the time finally came to pull in my first vanilla Javascript dependency [https://github.com/infusion/Complex.js/]. The default way to do this seems to be the CLJSJS project [http://cljsjs. »

Adding Mathjax to your (SBT-)Microsite

I'm obsessed with sbt-microsites [https://47deg.github.io/sbt-microsites/]. Sbt-microsites is a fantastic plugin for SBT (the Scala Build Tool) that makes it easy to generate a beautiful sidecar site for your software project, full of code checked by your CI!

Cascalog 2.0 has been out for over a year now, and outside of a post to the mailing list [https://groups.google.com/d/topic/cascalog-user/F8EkFM7HiE0/discussion] and a talk at Clojure/Conj 2013 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DuuJW3EaN_3Q] ( slides here [https://speakerdeck.com/sritchie/ »

Hardcore Cascalog: Dynamic Queries

A little side note before I get started - pivoting from my last post on ski mountaineering racing [http://www.samritchie.io/skimo-racing/] to this post on advanced Cascalog [https://github.com/nathanmarz/cascalog] patterns has made me realize that I'm a full-fledged connoisseur of the esoteric.

Upcoming Talks in 2013

This is the year I teach myself to become a better public speaker. I've spent the past year coding up a number of powerful Scala and Clojure projects [http://sritchie.github.io/projects/], all the while avoiding the important and difficult work of teaching and writing about the »

Cascalog Testing 2.0

A few months ago I announced Midje-Cascalog [http://sritchie.github.com/2011/09/30/testing-cascalog-with-midje.html], my layer of Midje testing macros over the Cascalog MapReduce DSL.

Introducing Cascalog-Contrib

I've had the pleasure of working with Cascalog [https://github.com/nathanmarz/cascalog] for about ten months now, and have seen the community produce some fantastic work. A number of businesses [https://www.assembla.com/spaces/cascalog/wiki/Who's_using_Cascalog] are using Cascalog in production; »

Getting Creative with MapReduce

One problem with many existing MapReduce abstraction layers is the utter difficulty of testing queries and workflows. End-to-end tests are maddening to craft in vanilla Hadoop and frustrating at best in Pig and Hive. The difficulty of testing MapReduce workflows makes it scary to change code, and destroys your desire »

Haskell in Emacs

I spent some time today getting my emacs config set up to learn Haskell, and ran into a few issues; I figured I'd go ahead and document the process here for everyone's enjoyment. We're going to install and configure Haskell mode, then add a »
