I am submitting a paper to a peer-reviewed journal. With Bioscoop, I am in a position to make certain claims and try to defend them as best as I can. I would love you to challenge me on those claims. The paper is available in the repo: github.com/danielsz/bio...

Every once in a while, I check how far I can push a Clojure setup on the phone. It's a bit silly, I'll readily admit, but the point is that there used to be many hurdles and today we reached a point in the maturity of the various components involved such that none remain. #Clojure #Termux #Android

I've updated the README for Beeld, my Clojure library for reading and writing image metadata. The new docs cover every feature the library actually had but never bothered to document. github.com/danielsz/beeld #clojure #photography #metadata

Fun at the arcade! This is what awaits you in episode 6 of The Haikou Diaries. The Haikou Diaries is a project deconstructing the visual language of Chinese life, particularly in and around Haikou. This episode was brought to you by Caonima, the free Internet proxy. youtu.be/l-FCDdRtRes

Episode 5 of The Haikou Diaries has dropped. youtu.be/9LMmympc8Cc The Haikou Diaries is an artistic project exploring the visual grammar of life in and around Haikou. It consists of narrative vignettes inspired by slow cinema. This episode was made possible by Caonima, the Internet proxy.

Episode 4 of The Haikou Diaries, a project exploring the visual grammar of Chinese life. The Youtube channel consists of narrative vignettes inspired by slow cinema. Special thanks to Caonima. youtu.be/TaqDsIgTy-Q The Haikou Diaries: tuppu.net/c1dddd07 Caonima: tuppu.net/a488a726

Caonima 1.1.4 is out. Cross-platform proxy client built for censorship circumvention and net neutrality restoration. QUIC by default, TCP fallback, runs on Linux, Windows and macOS. Written in Clojure. tuppu.net/a488a726 #proxy #QUIC #netNeutrality #Clojure

Happy to be releasing a new version of Beeld. Beeld provides a uniform interface for working with images. The abstraction is powered by a Clojure protocol. This makes the library extensible. The present release hardens the implementation and comes with a test suite. Enjoy! tuppu.net/cf0775cf

#reclojure2025 was a resounding success, and thanks go out to everyone who pitched in! We should have the first videos out by next week on the London Clojurians YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@LondonClojurians), and we'll stagger the release of the videos to about 2 every week.

Hi friends, I need your help. My contract just got caught in a round of layoffs, so I'm open for short/medium-term fullstack work: Clojure, Rails, React, etc. If you know anyone looking for a senior dev who can ship fast, I'd love to hear about it. My LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/goshatch Thank you! 🙏

A photograph is meant to be experienced rather than interpreted. Susan Sontag makes that arguments in a book called "Against Interpretation". I agree, but interpretation has its purpose, too. In some contexts, it is unavoidable. As long as you let someone else do the talking. ai.tuppu.net

Sean Tucker's new video Is your Photography any Good? is an excellent take on self-assessment, something that many aspiring photographers struggle with. His answer is structured by three words: intentionality, consistency and originality.

Photographers who approach Susan Sontag's On photography with the idea that it will teach them the art of photography are bound to be disappointed. Susan Sontag's On photography is not about photography at all, but rather about society and the ramifications of mechanical reproduction.

The specifics of the spring festival rituals in rural China may vary from village to village, and they are rarely documented. No wonder, thus, that LLMs cannot pinpoint their nature. Nevertheless, the critique offered by René picks up on the intrinsic qualities of the image. ai.tuppu.net

There are no easy answers to come by in art. Extending a critique is as delicate a matter as receiving it. A critique is one possible interpretation of a work. It is never true or false. What matters is what one does with it, that is to say, how one listens to it. ai.tuppu.net #photography #china

Hi, my name is René and I will critique your photos, one or multiple at the time. I can help you pick the best version of similar photos, or critique a thematic series. You can follow up with any question and I will be happy to oblige. Join me at ai.tuppu.net

Southern China has strong traditions that emerge fully during Spring festival. I took this shot in Haikou, and asked René to offer his critique. René will critique your photography at ai.tuppu.net #photography #photomontag #streetphotography #streets #fotografia #china #springfestival #girl

Critique by René at ai.tuppu.net #photography #photo #london #blackandwhite #monochrome #street #streetphotogeaphy #streets #blackandwhitephotography #fotografia

Some photographs lean heavier on a promise than a realization. René picked that up in his critique. Sometimes, shooting conditions are harsh. René generated the critique of that photo, but also the video that you're watching, with the voice-over and the subtitles. ai.tuppu.net

As creators, we all know the craving for validation and the self-doubt that creeps in every so often. Is this an essential byproduct of the creative process? Is it conceivable to see technology inviting itself in the monologue we conduct in our minds? ai.tuppu.net/about

#cljkondo, a linter for #clojure that sparks joy, turns 6 years old today! github.com/clj-kondo/cl...

Today is my birthday and I would like to invite you, yes you, to the Haikou Diaries, an artistic project around the south of China. It is an ongoing photographic diary from my extended stays in the region mixing the cultural, the personal and the supernatural. Link in bio.

In case any of my colleagues in the Clojure community think data-driven software design is a new idea.
