I just completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 with Elixir https://t.co/mEzsm6KMj3

@ChShersh And finally

type FormElem =
| Selected of SelectedElem
| Unselected of UnselectedElem

[Yuanting Mao @yuanting_m]

@ChShersh Am working on a similar problem but with cards, my current attempt:

type Answer = { id: AnswerId; content: string}

type SelectedElem = { answers: Answer list; selected: AnswerId}

type UnselectedElem = { answers: Answer list}

It also has a way more sensible default for trees in rust than leetcode:

CodeSignal has the best IDE and the widest functional language support I've seen for a practising site. Common Lisp, Clojure, Elixir, OCaml, Haskell, you name it. Trying out F# with it now🥹

Using google and chatgpt as my elisp-shifu, now I can eval and refresh in one click ☯️

Making drawings with https://t.co/UZt4JvHmcw, clojure and emacs🎨. It's beautiful!

[Yuanting Mao @yuanting_m]

Beautiful beautiful visualization and also helped my understanding of eigendecomposition. Interesting to see the points getting "attracted" to the central line

Thanks a lot to the wonderful Janet book and posts written by @ianthehenry and hints on hacker news by @Saikyun 🥹🥹

[Yuanting Mao @yuanting_m]

Not sure if I am doing this the right way...but with spork/netrepl and ev in Janet, I managed to "live code" the window rendered by jaylib. Enjoying the moment of enlightenment! Clojure sort of wrapped this for you and I never really knew how it worked.

[Yuanting Mao @yuanting_m]

Tried the workflow in rust and I love this! Is there anything similar for clojure?

I refactored state management using lessons learned from https://t.co/04Hkwd9e9r
Reducing a messy map of card states to a single symbol. Scoping flipping rules and animations to the card widget. This brings so much satisfaction!🥹

Finally (kinda) sorted out the messy state of flipped cards! A real-world tarot session: pick cards from the pile on a table -> form a tarot spread -> get a reading. I should make 3 pages corresponding to the 3 experiences...

[Yuanting Mao @yuanting_m]

I should probably make drawing harder as well to give each draw more sense of importance

[Yuanting Mao @yuanting_m]

Drawing cards. This desperately needs some animation... Need to figure out how

#clojuredart #buildinpublic

[Yuanting Mao @yuanting_m]

Displaying some stacked cards now
#buildinpublic

[Yuanting Mao @yuanting_m]

Next: build a carousel that lets users choose from different spread, and a switch that enables major arcana, minor arcana, or whole deck

Who wants some cyber tarot reading? Building my first android app with #clojuredart #buildinpublic

Saw viamodulo's solution on codewars for Roman Numerals Decoder. TIL 3 tricks in Clojure! #BuildInPublic
