Morning All 🙂

maleghast08:05:54

@jr0cket - I wish I could make that talk, but I am not in London 😞 Will it end up on the SM website..?

practicalli-johnny08:05:18

Yes, I have asked SkillsMatter to record it so it should be up a few days later. You will be able to see it if you have a free SkillsMatter account

Morning

alexlynham09:05:33

Is it at codenode @jr0cket?

practicalli-johnny09:05:41

Yes @alex.lynham, the talk tonight is at codenode / SkillsMatter venue. Don't forget to sign up as they now do sign-in codes for their events to help with queues

alexlynham09:05:09

I might try and make it

alexlynham09:05:17

Forgot it was today

My hot take is that blockchain et al is such a waste of energy that it's actually immoral to work on it, in the same was as I wouldn't want to work on a missile guidance system or whatever

jasonbell09:05:50

@conor.p.farrell yeah but you can have three machines in an office networked together to do the proof of contract, not have them in the outside world and that’s #blockchain - I know a good three or four startups that done that just so they could get headlines out. “We do #blockchain!” etc

dharrigan09:05:49

Hmm, vim + nrepl seems a bit unstable lately

dharrigan09:05:18

I'm geting a SocketException when I do a reload, happens quite often

dharrigan09:05:24

anyone else see this?

alexlynham09:05:47

it wobbled on emacs a while ago as well

dharrigan09:05:32

interesting

dharrigan09:05:40

It only started to happen past few days

dharrigan09:05:48

of course, I know what you're thinking - what did I change/update...

dharrigan09:05:56

I'm trying to remember if I did anything...

dharrigan09:05:18

There was a vim-fireplace update recently, that's about the only thing I can think of

dharrigan09:05:20

(first in a while!)

dharrigan09:05:39

well, it's not that - reverted to prevous commit and no change...the investigation continues!

dominicm10:05:13

I haven't had any issues lately

dharrigan10:05:12

Yup, which leads me to think it's my particular smorgsabord of plugins.

dharrigan10:05:10

suspect found: 'venantius/vim-cljfmt'

dharrigan10:05:29

with this enabled, then saving a few times or reloading a few times ultimately produces the socket exception

dharrigan10:05:30

dharrigan10:05:39

Unfortunately, github seems borked atm (to create an issue)

practicalli-johnny10:05:45

Oh dear, GitHub is a bit broken. A webpage is served that gives you a friendly notice that something is broken and a link to contact support. Unfortunately the support page is also broken and you get a nice pink unicorn telling you no servers are available.

practicalli-johnny10:05:09

Did Microsoft move GitHub to their own servers over the weekend?

dharrigan10:05:25

Time to go home...

guy10:05:12

Morning!

dharrigan10:05:02

Anyone else think that github is a SPOF?

otfrom10:05:58

no, it is just cheaper to wait out the outages than it is to set up a private gitlab server
