did the talks channel get made ?

dvingo01:05:24

found some good ideas in here for using core.async https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB05UFqOtFA

dvingo: i thought this talk sounded familiar then saw i left a snarky comment on it nearly a year ago 😛

@qqq Oh haha!! I thought you meant "gimme the name of a band that I can fitness to" ...

sova-soars-the-sora01:05:06

talks channel is a great idea. third'ed

There is a #videos channel. Might fit what everyone is talking about

Today’s (and part of yesterday’s) exercise in masochism: attempting to build Lumo on Raspberry Pi 3.

Whoever it was that told me to use todoist -- it's amazing. Absolutely worth the $28.99. Only thing that could make it better? emacs key bindings

qqq16:05:46

@dpsutton : it's absolutely worth $28.99 ;; not sure if I'd shell out $1.01 more though 🙂

dpsutton16:05:40

good point 🙂

qqq16:05:39

I wish someone (maybe me) would build todoist as a reagent tutorial.

qqq16:05:52

I don't think it's too much more complicated than the sample todomvc

qqq16:05:00

especially if you use datascript to store all the tags / attributes

dominicm16:05:13

@qqq You're welcome 🙂 I'm glad it works for you

The natural language time input is pretty fantastic. every Sunday and Tuesday at 6PM, for example, works just as expected. They also added an integration recently with Google Calendar that I need to look into, which is super handy because having a calendar and to-do list synced separately gets to be a serious pain.

fellshard17:05:43

I've also got my dad plugging it for use in the 'getting things done' methodology, hahah

qqq17:05:05

oh, there's calendar functionality too

qqq17:05:17

I've only been using it as an uber todo list (but not assigning due dates / repeated tasks)

lmergen18:05:32

and here i am, still using org-mode as my todo list...

lmergen18:05:44

every now and then i look for what other todo apps are out there (tried omnifocus, wunderlist, and a few others), but none really stick

lmergen19:05:27

i like org-mode, it's simple and i can version control it alongside my actual source codes

mobileink19:05:29

Real programmers have a personal assistant to manage their schedules. I'm just sayin. If I can't remember it, it must not be important. 😉

qqq19:05:04

I like org-mode. If only emacs ran on my ipad air.

qqq19:05:40

I use todo list not for daily todo list, but for managing what to implement next.

fellshard19:05:24

Looked into org mode, but lack of mobile access and editability did play a big role in turning me away

mobileink19:05:12

business opportunity, folks.

mobileink19:05:57

i like org mode in principle. but it's like every hw doodad i've ever bought: it goes in the drawer after a few weeks.

mobileink19:05:49

the effort it takes to keep my todo list up to date is more than the effort it takes to remember what i need to do.

mobileink20:05:31

@john, @sophiago: i don't think you can use denotational/operational semantics for interactionist computing. both are premised on a single-threaded model of evaluation.

danielgrosse20:05:36

I want to ask for suggestions for the structuring of a database, which is used with re-frame. I have a tree shaped structure with categories and images. The categories could have childs (further sub categories and images) and are of arbitrary depth. Would you suggest to flatten the structure and keep an tree with pointers to the objects, or is it more maintainable to keep a nested structure with all the data?

danielgrosse20:05:35

category
|
| - subcategory
|    |
|    | - image
|    | - image
| - subcategory
|    | 
|    | -image
|    | -image
| - image
| - image

danielgrosse21:05:10

The category object only contains a id and a string, while the image object also contains recuring entries, like sound, creator, etc.

{:category {:id int :name string}}

{:image {:id int
         :name string
         :sound string or reference to sound object}}

sophiago22:05:32

@mobileink i'm not familiar with the term "interactionist," but fwiw formal methods are in no way constrained to single-threaded programs. in fact, operational semantics was largely motivated by developing a formal semantics for nondeterminism (Tony Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes, the basis for Clojure's core.async, being a major example). but then there's also deterministic parallelism, which can be described in a denotational manner.

qqq22:05:47

anyone know of a slack (probably off clojurians) where people who program cuda hang out ?
