“Trinary” timeline

2018

10/04 (or 04/10? idk!): «Western Scholarship on Third Genders: What does the Gender “Trinary” Do?» referring to third-genders contrasted with binaries

Mar 16: non-trinary is coined synonymously with non-quaternary, but meaning the same as “aquaternary” alluding a tridimensional trinary (a conventional trinary (M./F./N. [N. of neuter/neutral]) that includes nullity

Mar 17: (qua)ternary/binary nongender unspecification is also beyond neither and both

Mar 22: A(qua)ternary pops up with non(qua)ternary

JUNE 4: @exorsexistbullshit defines “gender trinarism” describing it as “the idea that all nonbinary people are just a separate gender from women and men”

flags

11 June: first nontrinary flag

11 June: first atrinary flag, using anonbinary flag format

16 August: second atrinary flag, using abinary flag template

2019

Jan 6th: @momma-mogai-sphinx coins the first flag for “anontrinary” and groups atrinary, anontrinary and anonbinary as “specific subcategories for nonbinary gender identities”

Jan 20th: leptary is coined, now nontrinary is a nongender arity and atrinary an agender arity

Mar 27th: gender arities are reorganized and explained individually

Jul 8th: user leptrois (us)/we explain(s) leptarity/leptariety

Do you remember another significant event for trinary? Comment in the notes or reblogging so we know/sending an ask

Xenary Flag

Xenary is a xeny arity; n-ary xenity; xenoic/xenine arity. Nothing much else to say about it, it’s combining xenogender/xenic/xen/xinary (xin/gender) with -ary.

Society is so much anthropocentric and nature anthropized so that I made this arity for escaping/distancing from human understanding of gender. It’s beyond common arities.

Clojure Weekly, March 18th, 2014

Welcome to another issue of Clojure Weekly, my small routine blog contribution to the Clojure sphere! These are just a few links, normally 4/5 urls, pointing at articles, documentation, screencasts, podcasts or anything else that attracts my attention. I add a small comment so you can decide if you want to look at the whole thing or not. That’s it, enjoy!

cemerick/friend An authorisation/authentication framework for Ring based Clojure web app. Friend has a terse API which is quite easy to understand and yet is as powerful as other full-fledged security frameworks. You can attach roles to user and use the same roles when defining routes. Routes and their HTTP verbs are effectively unique ids for an action and with Friend you decide what roles can perform the action (i.e. /docs is accessible to ::guest but /private only to ::admin). Friend also contains other DSL-ish APIs to indicate protected channels (routes that should be redirected if accessed with the wrong protocol) and supports b-crypt encryption.

ClojureDocs - clojure.core/rand-nth Hopefully I'm here again to prevent you another waste of time :) I did the very first time, inventing my own how to access a collection by a random index kind of thing. Sorry, the std-lib got that already and is called rand-nth. That delegates to the old faithful java Math.Random()

core.clj if-let multiple arities macros The interwebs are plenty of Clojure macro tutorials but I couldn't find an example of a macro with multiple arities and how one arity could call another. Well, of course I should have had a look at core.clj. When an "else" part is not present if-let just invokes another arity of the macro passing nil for the :else block. The invocation is actually a syntax quote "back tick" that is that the expansion happens in place with the if-let macro invoked with nil, that then expands again into the final macro form.

EuroClojure CFP EuroClojure will be in Krakow this year and the CFP just opened. The process this year will ensure talks proposal gets better over time and is open for collective (and anonymous) feedback. Please take sometime to review the proposed talks, give feedback and help the biggest european Clojure conference getting even better!

Avout: Distributed State in Clojure Avout is a distributed STM implementation. It promises to maintain the same properties of the locally implemented STM on Clojure data structures with the option of crossing boundaries and persist on different "memories" like zookeeper or Mongo. A couple of use cases are provided, such as distributed Atoms (shared memory) or distributed locks. Since I know that the Clojure STM relies heavily on re-tries to enable consistent sequential state, I wonder how this situation is handled if a network is in between. When the transaction is in memory, even with loads of transaction aborts and restarts, the delay is not really noticeable. Plus what happens when I pull the network cable? How Avout knows that the other side was a commit?
