Morning 🐟

thomas09:12:50

@korny how is you new life with a baby? Are you coping?

korny09:12:24

day 8 now - and yes, we are coping now. 🙂 Not so much a few days ago! We have (a) decided it’s OK to top up breastfeeding with formula, for our sanity, and (b) hired a post-natal Doula to provide extra support. Those two decisions have made all the difference 🙂

thomas09:12:30

both sound very sensible! glad to hear you all doing well

korny09:12:40

1 week into my 8-week break from work, seem to not have done much coding… 🙂

thomas09:12:07

enjoy the journey.

agile_geek09:12:52

@korny I took 7 weeks off in the Summer...didn't have a baby to look after...and still did very little coding

korny09:12:22

Yeah, I fear I’d do the same if I took a sabbatical. I remember taking a week off work to sort out my filing and taxes once - I think I only started sorting on day 5. Got it all done, mind you, but in a rush right at the end. Much like my Uni study patterns

agile_geek09:12:27

I've got a new way of motivating myself to learn new things..I submit a talk about them to a conference or user group and if accepted I've got to get off my a*se and learn it!

thomas09:12:50

peer pressure is a very powerful tool.

thomas09:12:09

@agile_geek would this also work if other people sign you up for things ? 😉

agile_geek09:12:57

Oh dear....what am I being volun-told to do now?

thomas09:12:45

nothing yet... but I am sure we can come up with something 😉

mccraigmccraig09:12:36

anyone know of any libs which help a clojure library to implement some java interfaces and reflectively load the clojure runtime, i.e. Class.forName("clojure.java.api.Clojure") &c ... the point being to avoid the lib having to :aot its world and avoid the consequent jar-hell

thomas09:12:18

@mccraigmccraig no idea if this does what you want to do https://github.com/ztellman/virgil

thomas09:12:33

but tiny chance it might help you

mccraigmccraig09:12:54

you had my hopes up for a moment there @thomas , but sadly that won't help 😞

benedek10:12:17

clj-refactor can generate stubs for you as far as I remember

benedek10:12:42

has not used that feature for a long time tho

rickmoynihan11:12:44

Does anyone here use artifactory or nexus or a repository manager for private clojure artifact management? If so what do you see the main advantages are over S3?

mccraigmccraig11:12:05

i went with S3 @rickmoynihan, 'cos i couldn't figure any advantage other than search, which i don't need

glenjamin12:12:45

I’ve used nexus as a caching proxy + private package host

glenjamin12:12:23

main advantage was the proxying thing - we configured it to have a repo that was a combination of the two, and then there was only once place to point to

rickmoynihan12:12:37

we’ve been using S3 for the past 3 years - just wondering if we’re missing much

rickmoynihan12:12:40

glenjamin: so would you go back to S3?

glenjamin12:12:33

I never used S3, we already had nexus set up for proxying when we needed somewhere to put private pacakges

glenjamin12:12:49

nexus was a bit of a pain to auto-configure via conf mgmt tools, but we got it working

rickmoynihan12:12:35

glenjamin: what kind of project.clj config do you need to deploy to nexus via lein deploy? Is there a wagon?

glenjamin13:12:45

I’m afraid I can’t remember

glenjamin13:12:07

i think perhaps we got lein to spit out a jar, then sent it over using maven

glenjamin13:12:24

but I think it should be easy enough to do directly
