It's the 10th anniversary of Clojure, only the 7th Clojure conj

Alex Miller (Clojure team)00:10:03

I think all of them are online

what's good for project management? (I think there's something called gnatt charts)

noisesmith15:10:30

itym gantt chart btw

hmaurer14:10:22

Hi! Is there some sort of “mentoring” program/website/else for Clojurians who would like to get paired with an experienced Clojure dev for feedback on a project and/or questions?

qqq14:10:49

oh, if you're willing to pay, it's different; I was assuming "free mentoring" instead of consulting

hmaurer14:10:44

@U3JURM9B6 I did imply “free mentoring” 🙂 But more in the sense of asking someone to look over some architecture you built and tell you him opinion on it

curlyfry17:10:11

There is #mentoring here on Clojurians as well, not sure how active it is

hmaurer14:10:29

By that I mean not “one-off” pairing (like coming here to ask a question), but over a longer period of time

qqq14:10:29

@hmaurer: It's not clear it's a good use of the mentor's time.

qqq14:10:02

One thing I found effective is to: 1. watch youtube clojure conference videos 2. when I don't understand something, ask about the video 3. more often than not, the speaker ends up answering questions

noisesmith15:10:07

there are cases where a small insight from a teacher (five minute convo maybe) can help a student skip months of misguided frustration though

hmaurer15:10:34

yes exactly

lovuikeng15:10:25

@hmaurer you've already found yourself the most vibrant, reactive, and collaborative clojurian slack channels

mobileink19:10:20

or you can go all algebraic and call it "signature", or "sig" .

I made java-jni bindings to a c++ library, and I want to make a release with binary files compiled for windows and mac (I only possess linux). Is there any free service online that can target windows and mac, maybe some of the CI services. What would be a good way to do this, without actually borrowing a computer?

mobileink19:10:16

you should be able to cross-compile. getting everything configured is a pain, but it's worth it imho.

hlolli15:10:49

Im not windows user, so I could be wrong, but aren't visual studio compilations these days more stable builds, guessing that cross-compileing from linux would use minigw-g++. But I honestly didn't know about cross-compile, so thanks for that point!

kingcode18:10:53

Sorry for getting in this late, but why couldn’t one use a virtual hardware (e.g. VirtualBox) with your choice configuration(s) to target your env-specific binaries ?

mobileink15:10:05

yeah, just google “cross compile from linux to windows” and you’ll find lots of stuff…
