• PDF to Text, a Challenging Problem

  Clarified above - referring to the visual side of coding PDFs by hand. https://medium.com/@jberkenbilt/the-structure-of-a-pdf-file-6f08114a58f6. - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• Human

  I like this story. And I like fan fiction. So : My continuation for my own imagination. https://medium.com/@bobby.blackstone.gemini. - Source: Hacker News / about 20 hours ago

• Fingers wrinkle the same way every time you're in the water too long

  It reminded me of how brains form through wrinkling folds [^0], space filling curves[^1], and the emergence of form through origami[^2].

• How to See MCP in Action?

  I have built multiple AI apps with Next.js frontend & AWS (Python) backend. I understand concept of MCP, need and how it works theoretically. I even wrote an article on it! https://medium.com/@mahimamanik.22/powering-ai-apps-with-mcps-36d5f2b37fe2 I just downloaded Claude for Desktop. How do I actually build apps with it? My use cases: Can I ask claude about my upcoming meetings & help me prepare for them?... - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• PDF to Text, a Challenging Problem

  I appreciate the clarification. Should have been more precise with my terminology. That being said, I think I'm talking about the forest of PDFs. When I said PDFs have a "markup-like structure," I was talking from my experience manually writing PDFs from scratch using Adobe's spec. PDFs definitely have a structured, hierarchical format with nested elements that looks a lot like markup languages conceptually. The... - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• Create a Server Driven CLI from your REST API

  Another project of mine Bob can be seen as an example of spec-first design. All its tooling follow that idea and its CLI inspired Climate. A lot of Bob uses Clojure a language that I cherish and who's ideas make me think better in every other place too. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Scheming About Clojure

  Clojure is a LISP for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). As a schemer, I wondered if I should give Clojure a go professionally. After all, I enjoy Rich Hickey's talks and even Uncle Bob is a Clojure fan. So I considered strength and weaknesses from my point of view:. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Moving your bugs forward in time

  ‍For the rest of this post I’ll list off some more tactical examples of things that you can do towards this goal. Savvy readers will note that these are not novel ideas of my own, and in fact a lot of the things on this list are popular core features in modern languages such as Kotlin, Rust, and Clojure. Kotlin, in particular, has done an amazing job of emphasizing these best practices while still being an... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Let's write a simple microservice in Clojure

  This article will explain how to write a simple service in Clojure. The sweet spot of making applications in Clojure is that you can expressively use an entire rich Java ecosystem. Less code, less boilerplate: it is possible to achieve more with less. In this example, I use most of the libraries from the Java world; everything else is a thin Clojure wrapper around Java libraries. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• A new F# compiler feature: graph-based type-checking

  I have a tangential question that is related to this cool new feature. Warning: the question I ask comes from a part of my brain that is currently melted due to heavy thinking. Context: I write a fair amount of Clojure, and in Lisps the code itself is a tree. Just like this F# parallel graph type-checker. In Lisps, one would use Macros to perform compile-time computation to accomplish something like this, I think.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
