Behavioral Programming in Clojure

Behavioral programming is a relatively new programming paradigm that excels at isolating behavior in event-driven systems. What would it look like in Clojure?

C# 13 is adding the ability to make extensions *properties*, this means we can build a scientific units library or financial units library with the nice syntax:

(15.mm + 12.inch) / 12.sec

or

(15.eur + 1200.dollars) / 12.months

Will be (most likely) a valid syntax by adding extension properties mm, inch, sec, kg for integers.

I just completed "Hot Springs" - Day 12 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/12

Took me FOREVER! But at least it's done. Using recursion and memoization. This one was conceptually tough.

My macOS app #SVG Shaper for #SwiftUI is now available for free. Well, at least for the time being. I only sold 10 copies or so and it was more of a step towards something bigger (should I call it Karate?), so why not. Maybe it is still useful to someone 🙂
What it does? It converts SVG images (not every feature supported) into SwiftUI `View`s and `Shape`s.

‎SVG Shaper for SwiftUI

‎SVG Shaper for SwiftUI is a little macOS application that accepts images in the Scalable Vector Graphics format (SVG) and converts those into SwiftUI source code. Got an SVG icon from your designer? Use the contained shapes directly within your SwiftUI views. SVG Shaper’s primary purpose is to conv…

"Waymo’s driverless cars were 6.7 times less likely than human drivers to be involved a crash resulting in an injury, or an 85 percent reduction over the human benchmark, and 2.3 times less likely to be in a police-reported crash, or a 57 percent reduction. That translates to an estimated 17 fewer injuries and 20 fewer police-reported crashes compared to if a human driver would have driven the same distance in the cities where Waymo operates."

Waymo has 7.1 million driverless miles — how does its driving compare to humans?

Waymo conducted the first analysis of its fully driverless vehicles to determine whether they’re safer than human drivers. The 7.1-million mile study found its cars performed better than humans in preventing injury-causing crashes.
