Setting Up Clojure on OS X

I spent a lot of time trying to find a pretty optimal (for me) setup for Clojure… at the same time I was trying to dive in and learn it. This is never optimal; you shouldn't be fighting the environment while trying to learn something.

I feel like I went through a lot of pain searching Google, StackOverflow, blogs, and other sites for random tidbits of information and instructions.

This is a comprehensive "what I learned and what I ended up doing" that will hopefully be of use to others and act as a journal for myself if I ever have to do it again. I want to be very step-by-step and explain what's happening (and why) at each step.

Step 1: Getting Clojure (1.3)

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

• -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
• -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

I created these scripts to generate some daily and monthly notes in Bear.

The launchd scripts will run the daily script every day at 3am and the monthly script on the first of every month at 2am. Make sure to update the path to the actual scripts in the launchd scripts before loading them.

mv com.bearjournal.daily.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.bearjournal.daily.plist

mv com.bearjournal.monthly.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.bearjournal.monthly.plist

Tutorial: Designing a GraphQL API

This tutorial was created by Shopify for internal purposes. We've created a public version of it since we think it's useful to anyone creating a GraphQL API.

It's based on lessons learned from creating and evolving production schemas at Shopify over almost 3 years. The tutorial has evolved and will continue to change in the future so nothing is set in stone.

4. Expand your sense of the possible.
5. Don’t trouble yourself with matters you truly cannot change.

7. Tolerate ambiguity.
