I'm on OSX with a number of overlapping windows; some windows are not "visible" at all because they're 'behind' the union of other visible windows

qqq06:10:16

occasionally, by accident, I do something on the desktop that causes all windows to shrink and become disjoint; what is this feature called ?

qqq06:10:12

self answer: 'mission control' app

4 finger swipe up on the touchpad is how you access it normally

danm09:10:38

But sure what the gesture is if you have a magic mouse. I occasionally do it by accident 😉

danm09:10:59

Aah, double tap with 2 fingers

qqq10:10:27

I'm using external keyboard + external mouse; so it ended up being Ctrl-Up

qqq10:10:52

F3 also appears to work (I just pressed all the F keys in sequence to see what they did)

http://bit.ly/2gJzX2J New blog post I found rather interesting... "functional programming is unmatched in any other language in terms of a productive and fun development experience." - Amen to that. Credit to Rodrigo Landerdahl.

If I’m reading Table 6 correctly, Clojure shows the lowest rate of defects of any language listed 🙂 Although as they say, the effect seems to be pretty small.

Still, always happy to be able to yell “WE’RE NUMBER 1! WE’RE NUMBER 1” 😆

What is the formal definition of GraphQL? I see all these articles with examples of GraphQL, but I don't know what it actually is mathematically.

noisesmith17:10:59

it’s not math, it’s an API from facebook

schmee17:10:53

here’s the spec, that’s as formal as you’re gonna get 🙂 http://facebook.github.io/graphql/October2016/

tl;dr describe the shape of the data to pull on the client side instead of the server side. It's designed such that the server decides which will be the most efficient resolution path to handle the query it receives, including which parts can be handled in parallel or are interdependent, etc.

qqq18:10:26

@schmee @noisesmith: lol, thanks; given the name, I was expecting it to be on the level of "relational model" or "context free grammars", was not aware that FB Impl was the definition 🙂

fellshard18:10:04

Ostensibly it's just a protocol, right?

Are there any good clojure resources (or even tech resources) that can be consumed as purely audio? I tend to walk about 30 mins - 1 hr / day, and would prefer to listen to something useful than just music.

qqq21:10:06

Most Clojure Conj talks seem very slide-dependent.

nickmbailey21:10:08

there’s a podcast called ‘defn’

seancorfield21:10:46

There's also the Cognicast podcast @qqq

qqq21:10:16

@nickmbailey: 'defn' has an impressive list of interviewees

nickmbailey21:10:40

yeah i haven’t listened to many but its on my list

jumar21:10:16

Cognicast is great and defn.audio is also pretty good.

jumar21:10:00

for FP in general, Functional Geekery is interesting
