morning Morning Thomas

How is the politics in the Netherlands going today?

thomas08:05:43

no government at the moment

yogidevbear08:05:07

Self governing people ftw 😉

yogidevbear08:05:22

I doubt that would work so well here lol

thomas08:05:49

there was an election in March and now they are negotiating for a coalition.

yogidevbear08:05:06

Yeah a friend was saying so yesterday

yogidevbear08:05:22

Something about parties in the negotiations walking out?

thomas08:05:08

which could take a long time... as the slightly right-wing liberals are trying to form a government with quite leftwing greens....

thomas08:05:15

(and 2 other parties)

thomas08:05:21

so quite complicated.

yogidevbear08:05:29

Sounds like it

thomas08:05:51

but to be honest, I haven't been following it at all... I tend to read the UK more 🙂

thomas08:05:37

The only thing that worries me is that the Belgiums hold the record for going with out a government... and the Dutch can do better of course!

Hello uk.clj, just want to let you know that tonight we’ve got london.el: https://www.meetup.com/London-Emacs-Hacking/events/239796110/

Belgians didn't have a federal government for 589 days.... for about 10 months of that time they had the fastest economic growth of the EU while the regional governments and existing bureaucrats ran everything. @thomas so not having a government might not be all bad!

thomas09:05:22

I never said it'd be a bad thing!

thomas09:05:09

but keep in mind that Belgium is a confederacy with 4 (?) different governments

agile_geek09:05:29

Yep - hence my reference to regional and federal governments

rcfotd:

-------------------------
clojure.core/map-indexed
([f] [f coll])
  Returns a lazy sequence consisting of the result of applying f to 0
  and the first item of coll, followed by applying f to 1 and the second
  item in coll, etc, until coll is exhausted. Thus function f should
  accept 2 arguments, index and item. Returns a stateful transducer when
  no collection is provided.

yogidevbear09:05:32

I'll stop there 🙂

predictable, but oh bugger! guess i might have to consider hiring remote not just outside of the home counties, but remote in a country within a TZ of london

maleghast16:05:20

All I can say, once again, is "we told you so!"

maleghast16:05:32

(Facebook last week showed me the initial upshot of brexit on the academic / University market and I have decided that "I f***ing told you so" is all I am going to say on the subject, from now on 😞 )
