hello.. is anyone around 🔍

How the situation is good (wherever you are) :)

jaihindhreddy12:03:50

BLR. Pretty boring.

jaihindhreddy12:03:16

I've never seen BLR so empty

kosengan12:03:43

yeah. that silkboard junction photo was such a rare one

jaihindhreddy12:03:14

I can see that junction out my window :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

jaihindhreddy12:03:50

Mentoring the Clojure track on #exercism has been a relief for me recently

jaihindhreddy12:03:07

Kept my mind off the situation

kosengan12:03:18

that's a nice thing to do

kosengan12:03:35

do you use org-mode?

jaihindhreddy12:03:13

Only for basic note taking, no agenda type stuff

jaihindhreddy12:03:14

Just because the default KBD shortcuts are extremely few and intuitive

jaihindhreddy12:03:33

compared to other apps where you need to click.

kosengan12:03:44

yeah. but org-mode kind of sucks in mobile use case

jaju11:04:57

@thegobinath @jaihindhreddy You may want to check out https://github.com/200ok-ch/organice Extremely usable interface for org-mode on the mobile (or in the browser). Best of all, storage on Dropbox (or google), so mobile note-taking on the go and cleanup/expansions when you are back on your laptop/computer - all sync’ed up.

jaju11:04:16

The only catch is - I can’t create a new file in the web interface. So, I create org files when on my laptop.

jaihindhreddy12:04:50

I can live with that!

jaihindhreddy12:04:14

Wow. I never knew org-mode also existed outside of emacs.

adi14:04:40

There are several non-emacs orgmode clients:

adi14:04:57

This HN user notes a few: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22789332 I use orgzly on my phone (http://www.orgzly.com/), but my phone use is just to note things that I'd forget on the go. I transcribe anything important by hand to my org files on the PC :-)

kosengan12:03:12

But just the opposite on desktop

jaihindhreddy12:03:30

Absolutely. Never felt the need to note-take on my phone though. I just type stuff down sometimes in Google Keep, then put it back into org from the laptop later.

kosengan12:03:34

That shows different possible scenarios.. by which I mean, lot of note-taking can happen just when you wake up, when you are at a cafe, in bathroom etc.,

kosengan12:03:28

Same reaction when you said that you never felt the need to note-take on phone 🙂

kosengan12:03:47

Do u use cljs too?

jaihindhreddy12:03:18

Nope. I've fooled around making a few toy things with fulcro

jaihindhreddy12:03:36

Don't use Clj or Cljs in anger.

jaihindhreddy12:03:42

I hope to, one day

jaihindhreddy12:03:59

I've been lurking here, and learning Clojure(Script) since 2017

jaihindhreddy12:03:23

Probably watched 80% of all Clj talks on YouTube

kosengan12:03:27

Its a worldwide React party these days 😄

jaihindhreddy12:03:17

Yup. It's incredible how we can leverage Google Closure without following all those conventions, and more importantly, not writing JavaScript

kosengan12:03:06

yeah.. there is also new entries even now. like, svelte, jamstack etc.,

kosengan12:03:29

that's how the js world works anyway

jaihindhreddy12:03:11

jamstack seems like more of a methodology, or a set of recommendations rather than a concrete thing we can use

kosengan12:03:33

yeah. they just put things together

kosengan12:03:52

something like compojure, I can say?!

jaihindhreddy12:03:56

compojure is probably much smaller than jamstack because that's more of a full-stack thing

jaihindhreddy12:03:13

and compojure is just a routing library (which you can't even use in CLJS AFAIK)

jaihindhreddy12:03:55

Do you use Clojure at work?

kosengan12:03:05

Yeah. It's not a an exact comparison

kosengan12:03:20

Clojure is in test

kosengan12:03:51

Probably have to port some codebase to clj if things prove to be good

jaihindhreddy12:03:18

Nice! Snuck Clojure in through tests huh 🙃

jaihindhreddy12:03:43

"It's just another JAR" 😉

kosengan12:03:21

Haha.. but once you are in, it's hard to go back. Or somewhere else 😁

jaihindhreddy12:03:29

And I thought Python was the bees knees when I learned it

jaihindhreddy12:03:53

The closer I got to Python, the more I learned, the clearer the warts became,

jaihindhreddy12:03:15

wow, they actually made it an easter egg

jaihindhreddy12:03:28

sounds like a DMT trip xD
