@andz welcome to the instance!
@markxa it means that if you feel like treating Mastodon as a chat environment today you can, and if tomorrow you want it to be more like Twitter, it can be.
Much of yesterday was spent bashing my head against #python not being able to find it's packages when invoked as a subprocess from another Python process. Every time it was run it would report an `ImportError` for the module `site`. We even set up the `PYTHONHOME` and `PYTHONPATH` through the env with no luck. Today we're hoping that using a `venv` gives us more luck.
@marramgrass I see that Webpack is already in the master branch for Phoenix, but no release of it yet. I figured I would try to understand what is happening with Brunch so that I could see about replacing it with Webpack myself (we use Webpack in work - though when I say “we”, remember that I’m a manager now 😉).
That said, I reckon that the problem is that we rely on too many abstractions for this whole thing. NPM, Brunch, Elm, Phoenix and so on. It all adds up to me not knowing what exactly is being done on my behalf.
I suspect there's a bit of spelunking in my future to figure out how the plumbing is actually hanging together. Then maybe I'll appreciate what is broken.
@interdev £5 per month, or in total?!
Well, that's my purchase done. A nice new Series 4 Apple Watch to replace my venerable Series 0.
Toyed with the idea of dropping down to the smaller size, but didn't want to sacrifice my existing straps/bands.
So is anyone ordering new #apple devices at 8am this morning? Going for a new watch myself, but passing up the phone this year. Just not enough changes to justify the money when I'm wanting a new laptop at some point.
What about you @stuartgibson?
@nivrig I want a new MacBook - work usually provides the necessary MBPs.
@d3z ah right - not using anything specific for that. It's going to be running inside a Phoenix app so I'll probably just use whatever they provide (probably Less)
@d3z when you say styling, do you mean auto-formatting of code in an editor?
@d3z New phones, new Dick Tracy watch
I know I’m in a minority these days but I really just want new Macs. (And I don’t mean the iPhone Xs Max) The #Apple events are definitely a lot more filler than killer now.
Where are my manners - the book is for sale at https://pragprog.com/book/jfelm/programming-elm
My fears about the book being in bad shape were unfounded. PragProg don't have their usual forum up and running any more so they couldn't announce that there were updates, but seems like the author was on top of it, and released new chapters to the beta program last week. Now I can try #elm 0.19 again!
@d3z @marramgrass a closet full of fur coats. I can see where this is going to drag us...
@d3z @marramgrass you need to come out of the wardrobe.
I'm Maurice Kelly, a software engineer who sold his soul to management. To redeem myself I try to make music, but in reality what I'm doing is making a big pile of synthesisers all in one place and changing how they are connected on a regular basis.
