@paulspencerwilliams What Newcastle Central? Only once every four years when the fog on the Tyne lifts..... 😉

saw some cloud-based discussion earlier - if anyone's interested there’s a graph about 2/3rds of the way down this article: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/02/07/cloud_price_wars_resume_as_microsoft_cuts_by_up_to_51_per_cent/

@paulspencerwilliams @jasonbell Well as you know, if the fog on the Tyne does lift we get to see the sun for six months at a time...but obviously have to suffer the other six months in Stygian darkness.

@agile_geek have you actually ever seen the sun over the Tyne? Or is that some mythical event that only a friend of a friend has heard of once? 😁

fog on the Tyne? Isn’t that a song…?

“Five Bridges…” 🙂

FAKE NEWS/PICTURE!!! 😉

google reverse image search shows that picture was actually taken last night in Sweden

LOL

Ok...You got me...It's all CGI!

Alternative facts, Newcastle is a pleasant city with a mixture of modern innovative and fine Georgian architecture located in ... Sweden

Sweden? That explains the crime rate

And the funny accents

roliga människor här ...

( i probably violated all the policies 😬 )

(good luck with google translate 😄 )

Just asked my boss if he'd pay for a ClojureX ticket for me. Fingers crossed

@yogidevbear if you need any "help" convincing your boss... just let us know... 😉

I might take you up on that offer 😄

I'm waiting for the other MD to come online in the states and then they're going to chat about it

It might be tricky as we don't use Clojure at work (... yet) and it's a new term to them

But I'm hopeful that they'll look at it as a vested interest in their staff and keeping up to date with current trends

learning clojure is really a lesson in noticing mutable state and training yourself to avoid it

There's lots of mutable state in ColdFusion 😉

Kind of unavoidable

So there's a lesson there.... how to avoid it and why it matters.

does anyone here know if mixed clojure/clojurescript projects are a good/bad idea?

I’m just starting out on some ClojureScript, and I’m not sure if I want to be mixing it into the same project (and serving it from the existing Clojure server), or keeping it separate and deploying it to some static file hosting (like S3?)

for my client/server JS projects I usually run them in the same project

the server runs an incremental build and serves up the latest client code, but when deployed it’s served statically

do you mean that you’re auto-rebuilding and serving through the server in dev, but deploying elsewhere for prod?

roughly, yes

@peterwestmacott if you find a template you like it's easy to get started with a mixed project - and it's not hard to split later. if you make your cljs and api work with file: urls (mostly CORS) then you have options - my current project gets served from file: urls inside a cordova wrapper, and s3/cloudfront, and during dev also from clojure

okay, thanks
