morning all

mccraigmccraig13:04:00

that hand looks more like it's vibrating than waving...

henrygarner13:04:50

otfrom has been at the espresso again

henrygarner13:04:52

mccraigmccraig I’ve been voluntold to manage the may talks for Skillsmatter. Your name is down to give a talk, just checking that’s your expectation too?

mccraigmccraig13:04:34

umm lol that's the first i've heard of it @henrygarner @otfrom ... though i'm not averse to the idea !

mccraigmccraig13:04:43

what should i give a talk about ?

henrygarner13:04:13

It’s working out to be a transitive volun-telling

henrygarner13:04:34

Bruce says you’d talk about something Clojure simple_smile

henrygarner13:04:41

Something Mesos / Onyx-y?

henrygarner13:04:43

Selfishly that’s something I’d really like to hear about, anyway

mccraigmccraig13:04:43

hmm... i could do something about those... or maybe about using fp structures like monads and applicatives for building fully async clojure/script applications ?

henrygarner13:04:40

Now that sounds fantastic

mccraigmccraig13:04:44

well, that's a good response, so let's do that one simple_smile

henrygarner13:04:02

That’s awesome 👍 Will 40 minutes be enough?

mccraigmccraig13:04:06

@henrygarner: how does title - "all teh asyncz for your clojure codez", abstract "a look at how functional structures like monads and applicative functors can help you build asynchronous applications with clojure and clojurescript"

mccraigmccraig13:04:17

40 mins sounds fine

henrygarner13:04:50

Who needs lolcatz when you have lolrich hickeh

henrygarner13:04:07

That’s excellent, thanks

henrygarner13:04:34

Tuesday 3rd May. Save the date!

I don’t post GIFs often, but this feels apt:

otfrom14:04:27

mccraigmccraig: you totally said you'd give a talk.

mccraigmccraig14:04:15

@otfrom: rly ? (i'm not denying it though)

otfrom14:04:54

mccraigmccraig: thx for still being willing though. 😄

mccraigmccraig14:04:34

haha, it was probably my evil twin

mccraigmccraig14:04:05

but it's good for me, even though, or perhaps because, it makes me feel kinda uncomfortable

minimal14:04:32

you may have to prove you exist IRL

otfrom14:04:44

minimal: just b/c you see someone doesn't mean any of this is "real life"

minimal14:04:00

some manifestation of life concept

otfrom14:04:04

minimal: but are you are you really afk?

minimal14:04:53

I get worried when I log in to a site and it asks “Not you?"

henrygarner14:04:38

Wow we got to the nature of the self quickly :thinking_face:

henrygarner14:04:26

otfrom’s profound questions turn my brain into Captain Spaulding > Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... now you tell me what you know.

mccraigmccraig14:04:16

i know that real life is like a monad and this punch in the face is like a monadic function returning satori

glenjamin14:04:58

does anyone know if there's a simple Haskell testing framework that's as easy to use as the tests in here: https://github.com/glenjamin/defshef-blackjack/blob/master/clojure/src/defshef/blackjack.clj
