there's definitely alearning curve

qqq 2017-02-23T12:57:33.001121Z

however, I'm converted, untangled is amazing

nickbauman 2017-02-23T15:00:39.001122Z

huh

nickbauman 2017-02-23T15:01:19.001123Z

Well once my librarying work is done, there’s no reason I or someone else can’t make an untangled template.

domparry 2017-02-23T15:01:54.001124Z

Anyone done dataflow work? Specifically into BigQuery?

nickbauman 2017-02-23T15:02:02.001125Z

Mobileink is already there: his stuff is already decomposed out of template land into libraries.

nickbauman 2017-02-23T15:03:36.001126Z

@domparry haven’t used dataflow for that. I did have a GAE entity post-put hook that added information into a JSON file in GCS that went into BQ at the end of the day.

nickbauman 2017-02-23T15:03:49.001127Z

Worked slick

domparry 2017-02-23T15:09:30.001128Z

I have Dataflow reading Pubsub into BQ. Works so well except for one very specific case.

domparry 2017-02-23T15:11:44.001129Z

The error I get is: failed_precondition: Record leaf types are not supported.

domparry 2017-02-23T15:12:22.001130Z

I’m using a clojure wrapper for dataflow called datasplash (It’s fantastic)

2017-02-23T20:55:37.001131Z

qqq: not so crazy about frameworks, personally. i much prefer composition that i csn control.

qqq 2017-02-23T20:55:59.001134Z

untangled is something else

qqq 2017-02-23T20:56:18.001136Z

I don't fully grasp it yet; but this is fucking brilliant and is the future.

2017-02-23T20:56:21.001138Z

howso?

qqq 2017-02-23T20:56:35.001140Z

It's storage model also directly mirrors Datastore.

qqq 2017-02-23T20:56:59.001142Z

It's hard to describe; give me a week or two to get back to you on this

qqq 2017-02-23T20:57:08.001144Z

but I can already feel new brain cells growing as I learn untangled.

qqq 2017-02-23T20:57:37.001146Z

The best way I can describe it is that it's like going from qbasic -> scheme; or going from old UI -> react.

2017-02-23T20:57:41.001148Z

maybe. personally i'm betting on https://www.webcomponents.org. i think react etc. will soon be obsolete.

2017-02-23T20:58:32.001151Z

they'll survive but in a very different form.

qqq 2017-02-23T20:58:58.001153Z

lol, is this like npm for gui elements? where for each new gui element, you pull in a library?

2017-02-23T21:00:47.001155Z

dunno about npm for gui, but yes, if you need a component, that's just another dependency, no different than any other.

2017-02-23T21:03:10.001157Z

that's all clojure libs are, just components.

2017-02-23T21:04:31.001159Z

of course, web components must be clojurized, but i believe i have that problem solved. ;)

2017-02-23T21:08:59.001161Z

redarding data storage, i can pull in whatever i want as a dependency/component; why do i need a framework?
