Good Morning!

maleghast09:09:30

Morning Everyone!

practicalli-johnny09:09:26

It's Friday... time to prepare content for another study group on Saturday!

Rachel Westmacott10:09:16

I don't suppose anyone know if a way to exclude just one specific version of a dependency from being upgraded?

Rachel Westmacott10:09:13

context: we auto-bump our dependencies daily with lein ancient and test against them in CI, but [com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-databind "2.10.0"] seems to be broken

practicalli-johnny10:09:24

:upgrade false as part of the dependency definition and then set your CI server to skip auto update those tagged dependencies

practicalli-johnny10:09:19

Never tried this myself

Rachel Westmacott10:09:45

thanks for the docs link. I've got :upgrade false set on it - but it's only the current version I want to exclude - when there's a new one I'd like it to resume as normal.

Rachel Westmacott10:09:00

I've settled for a manual downgrade, :upgrade false and a TODO for now

otfrom11:09:08

glad to see that you are hiring remote people 🙂

rickmoynihan11:09:11

more than 1/2 our team is remote

maleghast14:09:49

I wish I could have more time remote than I get, and that I was in a position to hire remote...

maleghast14:09:07

Ah well, it is what it is...

Ben Hammond15:09:25

it is its own perfect creation

alexlynham10:09:55

Growing the team for a new project?

rickmoynihan10:09:06

haha there are always new projects 🙂 we’re growing the team because the business is growing; in terms of both existing clients/projects and new ones.

alexlynham10:09:42

we should go to OG panchos sometime. I messaged ric about it but then got busy and forgot to bug him haha

rickmoynihan10:09:45

Yeah sounds good :thumbsup: Incidentally on mcr food; I’ve had some fantastic curry at the indian tiffin rooms.

alexlynham10:09:53

where's that? is that the one over in spinningfields?

Conor11:09:25

That's the one near HOME

rickmoynihan11:09:09

Yeah near home. Mainly south indian, dosa’s etc. Though I can also confirm their saag paneer was one of the best I’ve had for a long time.

dharrigan11:09:25

I used to live in Manchester and one of the best curries I had was downstairs in a room near piccadilly that seemed to cater exclusively to indians! (I was introduced to it by a friend). The curry mile imho caters more for the "western" tastes in curry.

dharrigan11:09:45

It was a fantastic curry! 🙂

Conor11:09:59

Sounds vaguely like Bundobust

rickmoynihan11:09:50

yeah that’s the only place I can think of that’s downstairs… though I’m not sure it fits the indian clientele description

rickmoynihan11:09:18

NQ “greasy spoon” curry houses are much better than curry mile though. Of that we can all be sure.

ricroberts11:09:28

hey @U79NZHC6A - sorry, i forgot about this too. Such busy doge

alexlynham12:09:17

yeah marhaba is the best in town and sanskruti is the best out of town

alexlynham12:09:52

haha, that’s okay @U09NZV6R3 everybody’s been busy

alexlynham10:09:11

also can confirm to everybody here that swirrl are nice folks to work for ☝️

rickmoynihan10:09:57

Thanks alex :thumbsup:

thomas11:09:28

Wish me luck... going to a clj interview now. ttfn.

rickmoynihan12:09:41

if you don’t get it, did I mention we’re hiring? 😉

thomas18:09:38

thank you...

Ben Hammond11:09:06

you don't need any luck

Ben Hammond11:09:16

just enjoy it

dharrigan12:09:52

Even for those interviews I don't succeed in (which have been many) I always (after a period of reflection) value them in terms of what I've learnt, what I have still to learn and more insight about companies.

dharrigan12:09:08

But, yes @thomas (* 1000 luck)

flefik13:09:56

@jr0cket what do you use during your practicalli casts to display key presses as you type (in the top right hand corner)? A colleague of mine is trying to improve their vim movements and it’d be useful to have that visible while pairing.

practicalli-johnny13:09:09

I think thats it...

practicalli-johnny13:09:39

Its screenflick on MacOSX...

practicalli-johnny13:09:53

I had to hack the JSON manually on Ubuntu, as the gui didnt work. My JSON config for dual screens is here if needed - I mainly just tweak around with geometry https://gist.github.com/jr0cket/dddd4671a74ada9c2d71a62d9630eba0

flefik13:09:24

oh splendid

flefik13:09:55

I might write an .el for this in emacs. place it in the status line or something

dharrigan14:09:52

Been looking into meander atm

flefik14:09:26

this looks amazing dharrigan

flefik14:09:53

infer-rewrite at @ 35m55s would be incredibly useful for me

dharrigan14:09:30

I'm always amazed by the quality and diversity of libraries for clojure

flefik14:09:56

my day job is essentially to just create mappings from our internal APIs to various external APIs

flefik14:09:52

but the APIs we work with rarely comes with documentation. We usually just get an example file. So If I could just type out our data structure, and then the target data structure, and infer a transformation

flefik14:09:23

… it’d cut the time to build a new API integration by many days

dharrigan14:09:39

I do the same, I consume either from external APIs or internal kafka topics and have to rejiggle the data into the format that I need.

dharrigan14:09:06

I'll have to do some PoC's with Meander and see how it works 🙂

folcon14:09:47

Ohh, let us know ^_^… I’ve been eyeing that myself, but too busy to follow up on it at the moment :)…

dharrigan14:09:20

your username is suspiously similar to the author's username....

folcon17:09:49

No relation =)…
