welcome to #clojure-uk @kodnin

kodnin09:01:34

Thank you!

jasonbell10:01:17

I think it’s morning so I’ll go with that

thomas10:01:58

in here it is always morning! ☀️

alexlynham10:01:41

btw - if you know any folks in the NW who are clojure-curious, we've got a hands on workshop in a couple of weeks https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lambdalounge-january-clojure-web-apps-with-heroku-workshop-tickets-54408435094

alexlynham10:01:24

(and if you fancy RT'ing the lambdamcr account as I know otfrom has done (🙂) that would be ace)

otfrom10:01:48

@alex.lynham I always RT them. If it haven't it is b/c I haven't seen it. 🙂

alexlynham10:01:08

fighting the good fight 💪

otfrom10:01:11

(I was once called a shameless promoter of others in addition to being a shameless selfpromoter.)

alexlynham10:01:42

well, that's what I've learned from the music scene... s'okay to plug your band as long as you plug your mates', right?

otfrom10:01:27

I'd say it works for me, but you did notice that I was shameless about both so... 😉

3Jane12:01:56

Clojure callisthenics, go!

thomas13:01:57

nah... better not... sounds too much like exercise 😉

jasonbell13:01:43

Ooooh not today, I still sound like Barry White.

thomas13:01:19

oooohhhh... could that be a new career for you @jasonbell?

thomas13:01:43

(I used to work with Barry White... except he was white (and Scottish))

jasonbell13:01:13

Long time since I’ve sung anything @thomas and I won’t say what it is as @otfrom will only join in.

jasonbell13:01:24

(I mean singing, badly)

thomas13:01:15

I would pay for that!

otfrom14:01:20

What can I say @jasonbell. There is something about you, baby...

jasonbell14:01:49

I hope you’re on the train and you’ve just scared the wits out of everyone….. 🙂

thomas14:01:17

I think we have just established that @jasonbell needs to sing and dance for us sometime!!! (while writing Clojure code of course 😉 )

jasonbell14:01:35

Sing: nope. Dance, where did that come from exactly?

thomas15:01:42

your love for Strictly of course... because I don't think you are just watching because of the data analysis you can do with that and all the ML linear regressions stuff and all that funky Jazz.

jasonbell16:01:05

@thomas Not really giving much of a hoot about the dancing in all honesty.

otfrom16:01:07

but @jasonbell you are well known in Norn Iron circles as Jason "Snake Hips" Bell. Why else do you wear those cowboy boots if not to dance?

jasonbell16:01:13

Those in question really should change my nickname to “wrecked hips” thanks to spinal cord/disc operation, I need heels hence the cowboys though I really should go for a pair of Cuban heels and give myself an extract inch in height.

jasonbell16:01:48

I can’t dance at all…. the other reason I took up the bass guitar in 1986 so I could stand on the stage and not dance at all 🙂

otfrom16:01:58

honestly, you ruined a perfectly good story with facts. 😉

otfrom16:01:08

tho I want to see you in Cuban heels

thomas16:01:27

same here....

3Jane16:01:36

very model of a modern data scientist

😃 15
otfrom16:01:58

@lady3janepl data scientists almost never work with facts. They only have numbers most of the time.

maleghast16:01:19

Hahahahahahahaha

3Jane17:01:08

There’s a very dirty joke about mathematicians vs physicists that starts with zeno’s paradox and ends with “…but I’ll be close enough to her for practical purposes!”

otfrom17:01:35

@maleghast you are such a hippy

otfrom17:01:06

@lady3janepl that joke is about the difficulty of consensual hugs over long distances right?

3Jane17:01:56

yes, and it’s about hippies, which is why it’s dirty (there’s nature involved)

3Jane17:01:02

(not really)

3Jane17:01:26

(but now it’s fun to imagine an alternative story XD )

otfrom17:01:50

we can smash the heteronormative capitalist patriarchy by filling in the blanks ourselves differently. 🙂

otfrom17:01:09

(I had to send that twice as the first time the patriarchy blocked it)

3Jane17:01:57

you have so many keywords in one sentence that I can imagine a zillion blockers triggered

3Jane17:01:08

on that topic, some of you guys might have seen it already, but if not, excellent entertainment value: https://twitter.com/zackwhittaker/status/1083447650555478017

otfrom18:01:44

@lady3janepl if people are going to start blocking me for being a lefty, then they are doing me a favour. 🙂

3Jane22:01:25

Lefty, righty, I don’t care which hand you write with, we all still love you

alexlynham22:01:06

is it weird that I want my emacs theme to be basically glowing bright insane colours

alexlynham22:01:41

I'm not sure I can get it to actually make the screen kind of glow with the level of brightness so it might be another of my pointless quests

practicalli-johnny00:01:10

Just smear your screen with a thin layer of Vaseline and it will glow :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: (although this could also damage your screen or at least make it very sticky).

Conor22:01:08

May I recommend cool-retro-term instead, to give you the feeling that you're writing your code from inside a postapocalyptic vault

dominicm23:01:53

You're so lame. Your terminal should look like you're in tron.
