Calling doc on the value of a variable

QRCode

I'm just starting out with Clojure and I was trying to implement vim's keywordprg, which displays documentation for the word under the cursor. I want to call the doc() function on the value of a variable, but I'm not having any luck:

user=> (let [x "println"] (doc x))
-------------------------
user/x
nil

In Perl, I think I could use the eval() function, but I'm not seeing anything comparable in Clojure. Any suggestions? Thanks!

How we fixed Skyscanner’s broken colour palette | by Adam Wilson | Skyscanner Experience | Medium

QRCode

It all started back in 2019 before I was working at Skyscanner. I remember sitting in a cafe in Budapest reading the latest conversations online about the new brand update.

✅ Set your base colors: primary, secondary and UI states.
✅ Define core color pairings and extended pairings.
✅ Choose product-specific colors, gradients, patterns.
✅ 4 color groups: neutral, white text, black text, yellow/orange.
🚫 Avoid poetic names: they are difficult to remember and refer to.

✅ Mix black and grey with primary color for a better design fit.
✅ Choose a night color that is slightly lighter than black.
✅ Your colors will need to appear on different backgrounds.
✅ Create color sets with transparency for such cases.

✅ Create tints based on the color contrast against black.
✅ Create shades based on the color contrast against white.
✅ Test for color contrast, colorweakness, colorblindness early.
✅ Double-check the dark yellow problem in your palette.

What Leonardo Da Vinci Can Teach Us About Web Design — Smashing Magazine

QRCode

Perhaps more than any other person in history, Leonardo da Vinci showed the kind of magic that can happen in the overlap between art and science, where much of web development lives. His methods and outlooks are just as applicable to the web today as they were in Renaissance Italy.

Hortus Eystettensis: The Beautifully Illustrated Book of Plants That Changed Botanical Art Overnight (1613) | Open Culture

QRCode

If you made it big in seventeenth-century Bavaria, you showed it by creating a garden with all the plants in the known world. That's what Johann Konrad von Gemmingen, Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt did, anyway, and he wasn't about to let his botanical wonderland die with him.

My hand tool collection includes premium tools from Bridge City Tool Works: https://bridgecitytools.com/

A vintage Stanley Bedrock model, even unrestored, will cost you more than a new TayTools version. Vintage planes are only good if you know how to properly restore and tune one. A new woodworker who has never used a good plane has no idea how one is supposed to feel. I have seen many folks "restore" planes, only to put them on a shelf because they still don't work properly. I used to blame them for that. Rob Cosman was the one who helped me see things differently. He said when he put a premium plane in a student's hands, the difference was night and day. After they had experience with a good plane, they were more equipped to go the "vintage" router for their next one.

The Imperfectionist: Seventy per cent

QRCode

The 70% rule: If you’re roughly 70% happy with a piece of writing you’ve produced, you should publish it. If you’re 70% satisfied with a product you’ve created, launch it. If you’re 70% sure a decision is the right one, implement it. And if you’re 70% confident you’ve got what it takes to do something that might make a positive difference to the increasingly alarming era we seem to inhabit? Go ahead and do that thing. (Please!)

70% is actually better than 100%

Moving forward at 70% takes more guts, more strength of character, than holding out for 100%, because it entails moving forward amid uncertainty, anxiety, and the disagreeable feeling that comes with putting less-than-perfect work into the world.

UI & UX micro-tips: 8-bit anniversary edition - Marc Andrew

QRCode

To celebrate the 5th anniversary of my super-popular UI & UX Micro-Tips, I’ve brought together some of the most timeless tips, and bundled them in an 8-Bit format. Why? Just because :)

  1. Whitespace is your design friend. Use it to improve your UIs instantly.
  2. Choose a base colour, and then simply use tints & shades to add uniformity.
  3. Reserve one colour for your Call to Action. Be really selfish with those CTAs.
  4. Give the most important elements on the screen more prominence.
  5. Present your icons with labels for easier comprehension.
  6. To improve the optical balance of your headings, reduce the letter-spacing.
  7. Make sure your shadows are coming from one light source. We don’t live in a land of a thousand suns remember.
  8. When working with long-form content, style that opening paragraph to draw the user in.
