morning

It’s nice to sleep in my own bed for a change...

any cycling planned for today @jr0cket?

@otfrom In my mind I don't think I have stopped cycling yet... I am sure I was dreaming about cycling last night. My personal trainer @gaivile suggested London to Oxford to Cambridge and back to London again for this Sunday. That would be 380km in one day and take about 17 hours of cycling (maybe I can find a shorter route)

I'll probably just help my neighbor with her Amazon fire TV setup today... and maybe look for a job 😁

can you hear the call of https://london2paris.co.uk/routes/ ?

@ben.hammond London to Paris seems not a bad days ride, about 450km plus ferry.

once truly addicted, folk get into https://www.transcontinental.cc/

In a moment of madness I did suggest coast to coast - New York to San Francisco. It would only take a month of cycling...

finding the time always seems the hardest problem

(or the best excuse)

The Transcontinental sounds fun and I could drop in on Bozhidar in Bulgaria before the start and talk about all things CIDER and Emacs 😁

@jr0cket when does it turn into self supported bikepacking? HT550? NC500? The Central Belter? (and those are just in Scotland)

I could just ride the Cairngorms in Scotland for the rest of my life, it was so beautiful riding over them on a lovely sunny day.

there is a good bike shop in Aviemore (Bothy Bikes)

you could move there. It is on the mainline between Perth and Inverness

Yeah, Transcontinental looks like a good thing to do before Coast to Coast ride :thumbsup: But we’ll need some proper training for that, and different bikes - as it’s self-supported :thinking_face:

heh. the USP of a Brompton is that you can take onto bus or train as you wish

Jesus, and i thought doing 100mi in a day was mental...

TIL, "merging" two (or more) comp's together is a no-brainer

Compositions which compose with each other? Madness!

Morning

@dominicm tis like inception

At some point you realize everything in clojure composes really well, and that's the point

haha; and then you come across somtthing that is just a thin-wrapper over Java and you are eaten by a Grue carrying a NullPointerExceptions

👋 @vhalli

👋 @otfrom

@ben.hammond you just need a container with an error state, like a promise or an either, and then your Java wrappers will also compose nicely!

my point really in that you need to gain awareness of what is nice, bulletproof idiomatic Clojure and what is just a thin wrapper around a fragile bit of Java

one you know which bits are fragile, you can take the steps to protect yourself

but its a lesson that's painfully learned

Oh Indeed

😉

(I have the scars...)

huh, well java is surely more fragile, but clojure is not blameless for NPEs... it's all fragile without static checking

I just use some-> all the time
