looks good @jr0cket , and can you also generate recipes?

thomas08:11:41

I just had to explain to me colleagues here that you have to put your tea mug in order of arrival next to the kettle, in a nice orderly row! ๐Ÿต

otfrom08:11:54

thomas sounds like culture shock to me

otfrom08:11:44

when you were explaining queuing for tea were you able to do it in Dutch or could you only think through the problem in English? #sapif-whorf #arrivalspoilers

thomas08:11:44

I could do it in Dutch... just about though

thomas08:11:52

on the bright side.. I am flying to Blighty later tonight simple_smile

glenjamin09:11:42

@thomas how big is the office? Do they not have one of those instaboil tap things?

thomas09:11:03

@glenjamin there are about 40 people here... on a good day (people work from home, other locations and customers etc). and no we don't have one of those taps. but there are two coffee machines that seem to get a lot of use (I don't drink coffee at all)

thomas09:11:05

Re my selenium/cucumber problem I talked about last night... I found what is causing it... no fix yet though.

korny09:11:50

still here, still no baby, it all calmed down (again) last night. I actually went in to work today ๐Ÿ˜ž

practicalli-johnny09:11:08

@thomas: yes, I could use clojure.spec.test to generate recipes too, we just didn't get around to that at the dojo

bigkahuna10:11:09

@korny - Waiting for new baby is like waiting for SBT to finish compiling. Eventually it will happen ๐Ÿ˜„

agile_geek10:11:34

@bigkahuna @korny except the results from SBT can be disappointing

agile_geek10:11:10

@glenjamin @thomas is it only me that worries about the concept of boiling water from a tap...even with safety features?

glenjamin10:11:48

what scenarios are you concerned about?

glenjamin10:11:10

also, is that the first time you actually mentioned who your job is for?

thomas10:11:52

I would have thought that the water is hot enough so that anything would get killed.

thomas10:11:18

@glenjamin I think he has mentioned it before.... (I knew at least )

mccraigmccraig10:11:12

are you worried about poisoning, infection or scalds @agile_geek ?

agile_geek10:11:34

@mccraigmccraig never thought about poisoning but that can happen with a kettle (infection surely not a problem with the heat of the water). Scalds was my concern

mccraigmccraig10:11:16

is a standing tap more dangerous than people wondering around with a kettle full of boiling water ?

agile_geek10:11:17

@glenjamin I let the cat out of the bag a week or two ago by accident but that one was the first intentional mention! ๐Ÿ˜‰

agile_geek10:11:43

@mccraigmccraig I am not saying my concerns are reasonable....just am I the only one to have them. Before I realised there were safety mechanisms I had horrible images of children being scalded. May just be that a childhood friend's sister was scalded (by water from a kettle) and I have that in my sub-concious

glenjamin10:11:21

I think employment law is the protection from that one ๐Ÿ˜„

paulspencerwilliams11:11:37

Quick question; what's the easiest way to write a small CLI using Clojure nowadays? Any useful libraries / lein templates etc for simple argument capture?

korny11:11:58

Iโ€™ve never used a template, just uberjar + standard options parser.

paulspencerwilliams11:11:45

@korny that's what I was going to do, but coming from Ruby, the first thing you do is look for an idiom and preferably a library to perform the desired magic ๐Ÿ˜‰

mccraigmccraig11:11:57

@paulspencerwilliams depends on where you want to go, but boot is actually pretty cool for CLI stuff, and works fine with shebangs https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/wiki/Scripts

korny11:11:26

rox-cli automagically installs mongo drivers? pass.

paulspencerwilliams11:11:56

@korny agreed. Hadn't picked up on that until I read the Readme fully!

paulspencerwilliams11:11:00

The boot option looks ideal although I've not used boot yet, so there might be a little learning curve and I'd like to get this nailed in a couple of hours.

korny11:11:21

I also like the cleanness of uberjars - they just work, they will always work, doesnโ€™t matter what else I have installed on my system.

korny12:11:38

when Iโ€™m building a cli app, I usually want 3 things: - a command-line parser, I tend to use the standard tools.cli - a config file handler (usually, for bigger apps) - I like aero from those juxt folks - a logger (again for bigger apps) - probably timbre I do then add some boilerplate that I cut-and-paste from other projects, mostly to get tools.cli going, and stdin/stdout handling.

agile_geek14:11:37

@joetague come and say hello tomorrow...I'll be the red-haired talkative one with the mic at the front

otfrom15:11:55

is it wrong for me to think of my opening blurb as a benediction from the parentheses of love?

practicalli-johnny16:11:22

I'd like to run a short survey during the conference this week, to help us understand our audience better. Any other questions we should ask http://bit.ly/clojurex-survey-2016

paulspencerwilliams16:11:16

Looking forward to seeing y'all.

jasonbell17:11:02

Looking forward to Thursday and Friday, breakfast will be served at 4:30am.

otfrom17:11:38

jasonbell why so early on Friday?

practicalli-johnny17:11:10

@jasonbell is far to eager ๐Ÿ™‚

practicalli-johnny17:11:32

or has a very long way to travel...

jasonbell18:11:17

@otfrom Thursday breakfast ๐Ÿ™‚

jasonbell18:11:02

@jr0cket leaving the house at 3:30am tomorrow, flight at 6:15am. Should be with you all not long after 9am.

practicalli-johnny18:11:29

I think we should make a coffee queue just for @jasonbell tomorrow ๐Ÿ™‚

jasonbell18:11:50

Tea please, canโ€™t drink coffee. Long story.
