Show HN: JSON-Safe Lisp Language Relatively simple currently, but figured I'd post for some feedback. I started this project last year but somewhat abandoned it. This feels like something which most likely already exists, but I couldn't find anything at the time I made it. I feel like my write up on the repo is pretty good at explaining the inspiration and purpose of this package; "Let's say you have an API, and you're looking for a method by which you can increase performance of your app via doing transformations of the data directly in the API. In this scenario, you would middleman the API returned data through a Fluxduct parser in order to get the data in the format you would like. An important distinction to be made here is that you are not changing the raw output of your API, but rather defining explicit values which you would like back in the app. These values are much more versatile than a pure API response as well, as they can be compounded with operators and conditionals to return computed values not otherwise returned in your API. Even more, the number of fields is completely up to you! If you only want 3 fields, foo, bar, and baz, on an API endpoint that returns more than just those 3 fields, you can explicitly only request those fields back. As icing on the cake; Fluxduct is made from plain javascript, which allows for implementation either server-side or client-side, on top of this, Fluxduct is JSON-safe, meaning all transformations can exist as JSON, making these transformations able to be stored in most databases without the need for any additional transformations." All criticism is appreciated. https://ift.tt/QbjZdHv July 28, 2022 at 02:38AM
Women Pioneers at Muni: Adeline Svendsen and Muni’s First Newsletter By Jeremy Menzies To close out Women’s History Month, here’s a look back at one woman whose work to bring Muni staff together in the late 1940s created a legacy that lives on to this day. Adeline “Addy” Svendsen was founding editor of Muni’s first internal newsletter, “ Trolley Topics .” Adeline Svendsen sits at her desk in the Geneva Carhouse office building in this 1949 shot. Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
