@yogidevbear: nope, never seen it before, but it looks interesting.

yogidevbear07:06:42

Morning Thomas

yogidevbear07:06:07

I was working through the Functional Programming domain challenges, doing them in Clojure

yogidevbear07:06:25

It was a lot of fun

yogidevbear07:06:53

I found it pretty useful for my preferred style of learning I guess

martintrojer08:06:31

can't praise 'docker for mac' high enough.

martintrojer08:06:45

So much better without virtualbox

martintrojer08:06:12

... and arguably better than docker on a linux lappy (runs and hides)

paulspencerwilliams08:06:24

@martintrojer: why would you say that? I’m genuinly interested? I’ve a 4Gb MBA and the virtualbox solution was a pain, so tried switching to linux for better docker support, but came back to osx for iTunes (I know…)

mccraigmccraig08:06:33

ha, i run all my docker stuff in the cloud - my home internet connection is too rubbish to countenance regular 100MB pushes

thomas08:06:08

I run Virtual box on top of mac os… I need to run that anyway. so I run my containers there as well.

martintrojer09:06:43

uses less resources on the host OS (OSX)

martintrojer09:06:49

containers feels snappier

martintrojer09:06:58

shared folders much improved

martintrojer09:06:10

not having to deal with the IP of the VM all the time (access containers on 'localhost')

martintrojer09:06:37

I think it better on OSX (than linux) since its still a 'VM' i.e more 'contained' (pun not intended). This means containers can't take over the entire host OS like it can on linux.

martintrojer09:06:13

they also have support for container images for different CPU arch. I can run ARM containers with a 'native feel'.

martintrojer09:06:31

But you still need lots of RAM ofc. I have a 16g MBP.

yogidevbear09:06:58

Looks like it's cheaper on O'Reilly just in case anyone decides to spend any money on this (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920041894.do)

quentin09:06:10

potentially an illegal copy on udemy

xlevus09:06:19

nah, same author

quentin09:06:03

good then 🙂

quentin09:06:23

just that udemy has a shady history of having illegal copies of courses

thomas10:06:48

hhm rather strange problem:

thomas10:06:48

not quite sure why * suddenly isn’t recognised as a function… it is elsewhere in the same file 😕

reborg11:06:39

thomas: it might be only here on Slack but you appear to have an unicode <200b> just after that *

thomas11:06:36

let me give that a try

thomas11:06:05

hmm those seemed to be in the code.. when I pressed delete once nothing happened… only the second time the space was removed...

thomas11:06:15

but still getting the same problem 😞

thomas11:06:47

and I now have turned on show invisibles in Atom. that might help as well in the future

thomas12:06:34

got it… had to delete every * and following space(s) and then type them in again. Thanks @reborg

reborg12:06:20

no worries. I had that a couple of time copy pasting snippets from a pdf, now I always remember

yogidevbear14:06:59

After doing a little bit of Clojure last night and this morning and then spending hours looking at really bespoke reports in an OOP language I'm feeling very brain drained. Good incentive to keep pushing with the Clojure studies

yogidevbear14:06:29

So many lines of code to achieve the report end result
