@hlolli my understanding is that you need circle or Travis for Mac/Linux. There's one with a longer name for Windows.

Appveyor I guess you're talking about. I'll give those a try, thanks!

pesterhazy09:10:03

circle doesn't have marix builds, i.e. building the same git repo for multiple platforms

pesterhazy09:10:17

their macos offering is solid though

pesterhazy09:10:39

not sure if it's available for free for OSS

dominicm15:10:39

Travis is perhaps the matrix one then

Anybody here using spaced repetition software like anki or memrise?

sundarj13:10:55

i've used them both extensively in the past

alandipert15:10:15

borkdude what's that first quote from?

alandipert15:10:30

i want to be outraged

dpsutton15:10:45

what quote?

alandipert15:10:40

"Not relying on a type system is unethical."

dpsutton15:10:44

Heh, I watch that talk whenever I want to get angry about something again.

dpsutton15:10:50

big fan of dan luu. got to see him at strange loop. he speaks so quickly because he has such a firm grasp of his subject matter. really impressive

fellshard16:10:25

Your comment is still up on top of there, hah. I'll have to watch this talk...

jsa-aerial17:10:58

An antidote for that talk with some actual data (!!) : https://vimeo.com/74354480

@alandipert Oh, that quote is from this talk 🙂 http://twitter.com/borkdude/status/919925962527080448

Looking for ideas on end to end testing, maybe headless Chrome, maybe something else. Please share experiences!

seancorfield19:10:50

We've used both clj-webdriver and HtmlUnit (the latter is headless, the former can be configured to use any Selenium browser driver).

borkdude19:10:41

clj-webdriver is unmaintained I just read

borkdude19:10:21

Maybe Puppeteer via ClojureScript is also a good option

seancorfield19:10:19

@borkdude Well, clj-webdriver has a very busy maintainer who hasn't had much bandwidth for it lately and has been looking for someone to step up and help / take it over. We still use clj-webdriver pretty heavily at World Singles and we're happy with it.

borkdude19:10:00

ok, thanks

If I change Slack teams and wait a few hours, a fake notification shows up on the Clojurians team. I see a red 1 in my All Threads, but clicking on it gives a blank "All Threads" screen (and the "notification" goes away.) Has anyone else seen this? It prevents me from actually telling if I have a notification or not, which is mostly a minor annoyance, but it doesn't happen on any of my other Slack teams. (I tried muting every channel, but the behavior persists. I've seen it since I joined a week ago.)

seancorfield21:10:22

Probably #slack-help is the better channel for that @quest but if you're on Windows, I have seen similar behavior -- the Windows client seems a bit flaky about notifications compared to the Mac client.

I'm on OSX, so not sure? Good call on the #slack-help though. I'll repost there
