While the framerate for the ClojureScript version was mistakenly capped at 30fps, if you look at the original numbers they had never hit that, which is why I hadn't noticed. A 30fps throttle is hardly your problem if you are hitting 5fps.
Even after upgrading ClojureScript to 1.7.170 there's only one result that could potentially have been affected - the one for 100 agents. Given all others were under 30fps, they wouldn't have been affected by the accidental throttling before the tweaks.
I have looked over some of the common core material given to both early grade school and middle schoolers and its very clearly attempting to teach abstract reasoning. There is alot of word problems that ask how to decouple a concept from the concrete values calculated in a previous step. Most people from older generations are not going to see the value in this... parents (and teachers) need to know there is much more to math than arithmetic
Isn't it much easier to just use "x" and "y" instead of strange terms like "subtraction stories"?
I always did quite well in math, but sitting there at the back of the class messing around with stuff at the end of the book, I found that teachers tried so damn hard to make the content easier, and in the process made it harder. I could figure out how what they were saying corresponded to the material, because I already knew the material, but could not see how anyone else would understand it. Few did.
That said, "Common Core" is probably fine, as usual the implementation quality is just much more important than any particular methodology. (just like "object oriented programming" etc).
Such conditions emerged over very large timespans in which life had plenty of time to evolve in response. What you are talking about is the same changes but over a few hundred years...this would be absolutely DISASTROUS for life. Rising CO2 is already acidifying the oceans and we've already seen symptoms such as coral bleaching.
The Q&A is not particularly interesting...are there other api's we can experiment with? Also, is there any precedent for getting clojure up on bluemix?
(Another) IBMer here. As far as I am aware, Bluemix doesn't have built-in support for Clojure but a few of us have played with it and there are a few ways that you can run Clojure apps:
I wrote a blog post about my experiences running a Hello World app using the Heroku buildpack for Clojure which you can find here:
In addition, since Bluemix natively supports Java apps, you can export a Clojure app as either an uberjar or an uberwar and run it directly on Bluemix that way. So for example, if you create an uberwar of your Clojure webapp then you can push it to Bluemix by doing:
