using FileMerge as git difftool on Mac OS X
#!/bin/bash
# my git difftool, calls FileMerge with project as -merge target
# better than using opendiff
#
# cd to your project dir and and run difftool like this:
# git difftool -d -x gdiff
# find top level of git project

;;; showing much improved performance over the original.

Miner's four-bit adder for Rosetta Code
;; http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Four_bit_adder
(ns miner.fourbit)
;; a bit is represented as a boolean (true/false)
;; a word is a big-endian vector of bits [true false true true] = 11
;; maybe little endian is more convenient???
(defn bvec
;; inspired by https://twitter.com/puredanger/status/241282082268143619
;; reduce-kv is faster than destructuring with maps
;; use (get m k) instead of (k m) to be safe with non-keyword keys
(defn sub=
"Like = for most things, but maps compare recursively by only the keys in a, so it returns true
if a is a 'submap' of b."
[a b]
(if (and (map? a) (map? b))

;;; 01/14/14 16:18 by miner -- Steve Miner revised this code to be more idiomatic Clojure.
;;;
; Short sidebar: Clojure has a special form for the efficient compilation of tail recursion.
; Something like this would work as a factorial function:
(defn fact2 [n]
(loop [n n acc 1]
(if (zero? n) acc (recur (dec n) (* n acc)))))
; We're not going to discuss `recur` any further as we're imagining a language that doesn't
;; I posted an earlier version on my blog:
;; http://fnclojure.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/roman-numerals-in-clojure/
;; This version is faster and more readable.
(defn range-down
"Returns a seq of integers from HIGH (exclusive) down to LOW (inclusive).
LOW defaults to 0. STEP is a positve decrement, defaults to 1. Like
`(reverse (range low high step))' but a bit faster."
([high] (range (dec high) -1 -1))
(ns miner.lucky
(:require [clojure.data.avl :as avl]))
;; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_number

([i avl]
(let [n (nth avl i nil)]
(if (and n (<= n (count avl)))

Keybase proof

I hereby claim:

  • I am miner on github.
  • I am miner (https://keybase.io/miner) on keybase.
  • I have a public key whose fingerprint is DB15 4E49 B5BD BE5A 10B4 4437 6A9B 8B0A 4D6A 8900

To claim this, I am signing this object:

;; Converted to Clojure by SEM. Note that there are lots of shadowing and recursive calls in
;; the Clojure code to avoid the mutation in the original code. The Clojure loops are a bit
;; ugly. Not sure if this is the best way to do things. However, the performance is pretty
;; good.
