a friend of mine had tubolitos to save weight a couple of years ago when we did the south downs way... several hours lost to repeated punctures later the conclusion was unanimous 😬. but that was mtb and in a famously flinty area - they might be fine on the road

hey @U05390U2P - not seen you around clojurians for a while!

Wow, a 3 year project! Haven't had to be involved in anything that long since 1994! Agile not a big thing in your company then?

It's a university, not a company. The lack of anything "agile" is probably the main attraction.

I'm guessing by the quotes around the word agile you've only been exposed to practices labelled agile that are perversions of the original manifesto but got to say a three year project doesn't sound like fun.

Yes, my previous job used SAFe and I still read about how horrible a place it is to work in the news. Actually, just read an article about it this morning 😛

3-year projects are actually pretty fun. You have to consider the fact that in most of these projects there is exactly 1 developer doing everything. It is extreme full stack development, but on the other hand no one is forcing bad technical decisions over your head.

I firmly believe that SAFe is bull*t and far from agile. Just a fancy label you can sell to enterprises. But culture cannot be bought…

It's not even RAD. It's just waterfall.

In our case, it was waterfall with the memory bandwidth of a gold fish and a completely hierarchical structure where blame/responsibility was somehow still factored out.

or is, for those still working there.

And an insane amount of consultants prepping people on process.

That's the power of positive thinking for you

The public sector is just totally unaffected by it 😄 Hard work, productivity, results? Nah

I think they do work hard, but maybe on the wrong things.

Work smarter, not harder

(defn read-multiple []
  (println "Starting loop....")
  (loop [value (async/<!! to-db)]
    (println "HEREREREXXXX " value)
    (recur (async/<!! to-db))))

what am I doing wrong?

I thought I start that function like this: (async/thread read-multiple)

ooh I probably should call that as a function

nope

your code looks reasonable to my first inspection @U052852ES... not behind a keyboard atm though, so i can't actually try it out

I’m no expert but I’d start with while true if you just want something that pulls things of a channel.

yes I saw that as well... that seems to use go blocks. I might need to do that

This seems to be a common pattern as well when googling around:

(go (loop []
  (let [val (<! in-ch)]                                    ;; <1>
    (when (pred? val)                                      ;; <2>
      (>! out-ch val)))                                    ;; <3>
  (recur)))

And there’s a go-loop macro

hmm I just closed my channel and now I am getting all my println ... :thinking_face:

ok, I got it working now... had to restart the REPL. got in a funny state for some reason.

you're using the non-blocking <! operator with go in your example @U6T7M9DBR... @U052852ES was using the blocking <!! operator, so he should be able to use regular looping constructs without a go block

yeah, I got it working with a go-loop now, and existing the function when I close the channel. that was the trick I was missing

What are you doing here asking Clojure questions!? This channel is for rants and pretty landscape photos. And saying goodmorning.

@simongray ya totally this is where ppl can hang out and let off some steam, relax, chill, etc… (But if they shout (println "Yooooo it finally works!") then it counts as letting off steam too lol)

To me, it's a virtual space for water cooler talk.

good people here 🙂
