@thegobinath sup?

2020-03-31T12:06:23.002100Z

How the situation is good (wherever you are) :)

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:06:50.002500Z

BLR. Pretty boring.

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:06:55.002900Z

And sad

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:07:16.003100Z

I've never seen BLR so empty

2020-03-31T12:08:43.005Z

yeah. that silkboard junction photo was such a rare one

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:09:14.005500Z

I can see that junction out my window :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

2020-03-31T12:09:38.005800Z

😁

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:10:50.006300Z

Mentoring the Clojure track on #exercism has been a relief for me recently

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:11:07.006700Z

Kept my mind off the situation

2020-03-31T12:11:18.007Z

that's a nice thing to do

2020-03-31T12:11:35.007500Z

do you use org-mode?

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:12:13.008100Z

Only for basic note taking, no agenda type stuff

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:13:14.009200Z

Just because the default KBD shortcuts are extremely few and intuitive

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:13:33.009800Z

compared to other apps where you need to click.

2020-03-31T12:14:44.011200Z

yeah. but org-mode kind of sucks in mobile use case

jaju 2020-04-01T11:55:16.036100Z

The only catch is - I can’t create a new file in the web interface. So, I create org files when on my laptop.

jaihindhreddy 2020-04-01T12:32:50.036300Z

I can live with that!

jaihindhreddy 2020-04-01T12:33:14.036600Z

Wow. I never knew org-mode also existed outside of emacs.

adityaathalye 2020-04-06T14:38:40.037Z

There are several non-emacs orgmode clients:

adityaathalye 2020-04-06T14:41:57.037200Z

This HN user notes a few: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22789332 I use orgzly on my phone (http://www.orgzly.com/), but my phone use is just to note things that I'd forget on the go. I transcribe anything important by hand to my org files on the PC :-)

2020-03-31T12:15:12.012Z

But just the opposite on desktop

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:16:30.013Z

Absolutely. Never felt the need to note-take on my phone though. I just type stuff down sometimes in Google Keep, then put it back into org from the laptop later.

2020-03-31T12:18:34.015800Z

That shows different possible scenarios.. by which I mean, lot of note-taking can happen just when you wake up, when you are at a cafe, in bathroom etc.,

2020-03-31T12:21:28.017400Z

Same reaction when you said that you never felt the need to note-take on phone πŸ™‚

2020-03-31T12:22:47.018200Z

Do u use cljs too?

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:23:18.018700Z

Nope. I've fooled around making a few toy things with fulcro

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:23:36.019200Z

Don't use Clj or Cljs in anger.

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:23:42.019400Z

I hope to, one day

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:23:59.020100Z

I've been lurking here, and learning Clojure(Script) since 2017

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:24:23.021Z

Probably watched 80% of all Clj talks on YouTube

2020-03-31T12:24:27.021100Z

Its a worldwide React party these days πŸ˜„

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:25:17.022Z

Yup. It's incredible how we can leverage Google Closure without following all those conventions, and more importantly, not writing JavaScript

2020-03-31T12:26:06.023100Z

yeah.. there is also new entries even now. like, svelte, jamstack etc.,

2020-03-31T12:26:29.023800Z

that's how the js world works anyway

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:28:11.024400Z

jamstack seems like more of a methodology, or a set of recommendations rather than a concrete thing we can use

2020-03-31T12:28:33.024900Z

yeah. they just put things together

2020-03-31T12:28:52.025500Z

something like compojure, I can say?!

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:29:56.026200Z

compojure is probably much smaller than jamstack because that's more of a full-stack thing

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:30:13.026700Z

and compojure is just a routing library (which you can't even use in CLJS AFAIK)

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:30:55.027600Z

Do you use Clojure at work?

2020-03-31T12:31:05.028Z

Yeah. It's not a an exact comparison

2020-03-31T12:31:20.028500Z

Clojure is in test

2020-03-31T12:31:51.029500Z

Probably have to port some codebase to clj if things prove to be good

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:32:18.030Z

Nice! Snuck Clojure in through tests huh πŸ™ƒ

2020-03-31T12:32:35.030400Z

Yep πŸ˜‰

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:32:43.030700Z

"It's just another JAR" πŸ˜‰

2020-03-31T12:33:21.031800Z

Haha.. but once you are in, it's hard to go back. Or somewhere else 😁

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:34:29.032300Z

And I thought Python was the bees knees when I learned it

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:34:53.032800Z

The closer I got to Python, the more I learned, the clearer the warts became,

2020-03-31T12:35:27.033800Z

That's obvious.. https://xkcd.com/353/

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:36:15.034200Z

wow, they actually made it an easter egg

2020-03-31T12:37:17.034700Z

but there is also.. https://xkcd.com/224/

jaihindhreddy 2020-03-31T12:52:28.035Z

sounds like a DMT trip xD
