Just want to remind ppl, if anyone is looking for a technical conference somewhere a little different to London why not consider "Build IT Right" in Newcastle Upon Tyne on 4th April? Early bird tickets are available for £99 + VAT until 31st January. https://bitrconf.org/

@alex.lynham spam bots are taking advantage of the fact you can have the same username multiple times, and changing their Avatar to match other users. They then impersonate users in an effort to make detection harder.

oh riiight

must have missed that one

are they spam-bots or spam-humans @dominicm ?

spam bots on which networks? on slack?

on clojurians slack ...

“They then impersonate users in an effort to make detection harder.“, reminds me of this: https://xkcd.com/810/

@mccraigmccraig last wave was abusive humans. I didn't see last night.

someone asked the other day how re-frame and Keechma compared: this repo has an example in both it seems: https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld

Morning 👋

Submitted a proposal for Dutch Clojure Days 🎉

nice! What will you be talking about

@mccraigmccraig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spF6A2QK31s

my favourite topic again... MQTT!

oo interesting

I'll be talking with the author of https://gitlab.com/eval/otarta

and my attempt writing a server and client and using spec for testing.

that is the plan at least.

and then, for people still researching laptops… I just found out about this https://puri.sm/ (yes, hackernews)

they have a warrant canary O.o

Reviews of those laptops were not very good from what I remember

But if you are a proper Linux greybeard you may not care

What were the bad reviews?

Hello friends. I have been recently considering moving to the UK, London specifically. I work currently as an independent consultant and developer, have extensive experience full-stack (Clojure, Python, JS). I would appreciate any pointers as to finding any contacts or consultant positions in London. I'm thinking of generating a customer base before I move to London. Thank you very much.

From memory @dominicm it is v. expensive for what you get unless you value privacy/using only free software/no Intel ME/etc.
