Morning from a bank holiday UK

thomas07:08:15

Enjoy your bank holiday @yogidevbear

yogidevbear07:08:48

It's beautiful weather today too πŸ˜„

yogidevbear07:08:01

How was your weekend @thomas?

thomas07:08:36

my weekend was good... a bit too short of course πŸ˜‰ and the weather here is great as well

jasonbell09:08:51

@otfrom Flybe cancelled, ouch. Hope you got back okay

otfrom10:08:43

@jasonbell I did the next day. Happily at home in Dundee now

otfrom10:08:59

enjoying an English bank holiday in Scotland

otfrom10:08:13

(so everyone here is working, but I have the day off πŸ™‚ )

jasonbell10:08:23

Welcome to the new reality @otfrom most people work in NI too πŸ™‚

otfrom10:08:13

but it is a bank holiday in NI

otfrom10:08:25

England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey

otfrom10:08:32

just not Scotland

thomas10:08:16

@otfrom that is why it is called a united Kingdom (which as a queen for starters) πŸ˜‰

otfrom11:08:25

and 3 separate legal systems. 4 different national governments (3 of which are devolved, all of which have different rules, 2 of which are called assemblies and 2 of which are called parliaments)

thomas11:08:05

wonderful system.... almost as good as Belgium!

thomas11:08:38

(which has 5 different governments)

jasonbell11:08:20

@otfrom for the banks, a lot of businesses still insist employees work.

jasonbell11:08:07

Ballycastle grinds to a halt mind so they can all overdose of Yellowman today and tomorrow.

otfrom13:08:38

of course. It is the Lammas Fair

otfrom13:08:59

@thomas that is just showing off

thomas15:08:13

indeed it is. maybe they just try and be good at something πŸ˜‰

seb23115:08:57

Is there a way to put unescaped quotation marks in a string?

seb23115:08:11

so ""foo""

seb23115:08:26

rather than "\"foo\"" which won’t work for me

seb23116:08:51

I would expect String name = "\"foo"\" to work in Java?

dominicm16:08:51

@seb231 Are you saying that "\"foo\"" doesn't work?

dominicm16:08:15

user=> (println "\"foo\"")
"foo"

seb23121:08:03

apologies, I need to return "foo" within a string so it looks "like "foo" this"

chrisjd21:08:33

"like \"foo\" this" is exactly what you want then? Remember that the value you see back in the REPL is the "repr" of the string - so you'll see it with the slashes there.
