i think i'm going to work tonight a bit on the new hoplon brand, does anyone have logo ideas?

alandipert: what does hoplon mean? a shield like mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspis ? why?

@onetom: well, we made javelin first and named it after the 80s spreadsheet

as it is an ancient greek weapon we stayed with the theme, finding other good names

hoplon seemed distinctive and memorable

also hoplites, the warriors that used them, were kind of crafty and scrappy

but yeah, the logos i've been considering have been aspis designs

there is the spartan uppercase lambda shield also http://www.timetrips.co.uk/gw-reenact-rank.jpg

appropriate because of lambda calculus, but would not have been used by hoplites

oh wait, spartans were also hoplites

yeah, that lambda shield came up a couple of times on google image search... it's also simple to draw...

not by hand though because u dont have a white pen so u have to draw a negative..

i like the legs

those are creepy, no?

especially the 3 legs

looks like a battlefield aaafter the fact

if i have:

(defn somefun []
  (with-init!
    (js* "console.log('a'); console.log('b');")))

some.namespace.somefun = (function some$namespace$somefun(){
return hoplon.core.add_initfn_BANG_.call(null,(function (){
return console.log('a'); console.log('b');;
}));
});

thats why my google analytics script didn't kick in...

interesting but also lame!

@onetom: thanks for flexbox. It is quite new though, so browser support isn't the best

@xifi: http://caniuse.com/#search=flexbox if u hover over some of the rectangles u can see usage percentages per browser versions

if u r developing for an audience who is restricted to use some ancient shit browsers, then indeed it might not be an option. but in practice those users are probably a rounding error. btw, r u hungarian too?

@onetom: thanks I'll take a look at it. I had another suggestion from @martinklepsch on http://basscss.com so now I have 2 things to think about

@onetom: yes and no, I am from the hungarian minority in Slovakia

close enough. im from the hungarian minority of south east asia. at least since 2007 😉

hehe

now i give u the intersection 😉 http://www.basscss.com/docs/guides/flex-layout/

we are using http://semantic-ui.com/ at the company i work for, but i guess it's time to extend my horizon a bit, so i will look into this basscss too.

basscss is awesome guys!

I'm still pretty much a beginner w/ build tools and related topics. I'm trying to use clj-firmata in a project that has both project.clj and .boot files and things work fine with "lein repl", "boot repl", or "lein deps"... But when I try "boot development" or "boot deps", I get: "? Caused by: Could not find artifact com.sparetimelabs:purejavacomm:jar:0.0.22 in http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/)" Any suggestions?

@john_tollison: is this a hoplon project?

There’s a designated #C053K90BR channel (just fyi).

started as a hoplon project... then started testing it other ways.

Oh, ok, I'll try the boot channel

thanks
