02:22 prologic dotplus +1
02:23 prologic re Slack; yeah the UI is noisey and you really don't actually benefit from all the fanciness per se
02:23 prologic and yes their privacy policy is somewhat questionable
02:24 prologic I personally don't actually see a lot of value addedd of Slack's offerings vs. say IRCCloud
02:24 pdurbin The animated gifs are often annoying. Get off my lawn. :)
02:27 prologic lol
02:27 prologic see :P
02:27 prologic nah but in all seriousness IRC + Multimedia is actually fine
02:28 prologic my wife and I share photots between each other over our IRC network and over our own upload service
02:28 pdurbin Slack does help me feel a little more connected the people outside by group, at least. The good old #random channel.
02:28 prologic I don't mind an IRC client that dispalys images inline when turned on with an option to make it go away onc eyou've seen it
02:28 prologic Textual does this
02:29 prologic does it though?
02:29 pdurbin Yeah, and in Slack you can click an arrow to hide the gif, which I do a lot.
02:29 prologic I mean does it really?
02:29 prologic Or is it really just a reinvention of IRC
02:31 pdurbin Well, all the groups weren't on a common chat platform. Some were using Gtalk, some HipChat, some XMPP. I guess we all got on Slack. I dunno.
02:32 pdurbin If I'm going to look at images in IRC, I guess I'd need to upgrade from a completely text-based client (weechat).
02:36 prologic well not really
02:36 prologic just click the link :)
02:36 prologic you do have a web browser right? :)
02:39 pdurbin Oh. A link to the image in IRC. In Slack the image is just right there in front of you.
02:43 prologic ahahaha
02:43 prologic tthat's what's nice about Textual I guess
02:43 prologic I haven't used Slack in so long it's actually not fair for me to compare
02:44 prologic but yeah you ge the link and an inline display you can click away/close and then you're just left with the link
02:44 pdurbin dotplus: in terms of research groups, http://haystack.csail.mit.edu looks into "social computing". Their Murmur project looked kind of interesting.
02:45 pdurbin prologic: I guess that sounds fine. I sometimes use https://imgur.com to share an image in IRC as a link.
02:45 prologic *nods*
02:46 pdurbin http://people.csail.mit.edu/axz/ in particular is working on "designing and building systems to improve discourse, collaboration, and understanding on the web"
02:50 pdurbin prologic: so how's cadmus coming?
02:53 pdurbin ah, it says "coming soon" at https://github.com/prologic/eris
02:53 prologic I'm going to finish refactoring some SASL stuff with eris first
02:53 prologic then I'll get started on that
02:53 prologic indeed :)
02:54 pdurbin no rush, I think I need to upgrade my server before I can run eris anyway. I'm still on Ubuntu 14.04.
02:54 pdurbin I suppose that means that my little Go app works fine on Go 1.2, which is somewhat comforting to me. :)
02:58 prologic nope
02:58 prologic no upgrade required
02:58 prologic you can just run the binary as-is
02:58 prologic much of the approach and supported "norm" of most (if not all?) Go written apps/daemons/whatever is to statically link the binaries
02:58 prologic so they are otherwise fraily portable
02:58 prologic your userland/userspace is NOT requried :)
02:59 prologic in fact I actualyl construct my docker images with no userspace/userland just the binary
03:07 pdurbin I don't see any binaries at https://github.com/prologic/eris/releases
03:07 pdurbin But don't worry about it. I'm going to bed.
03:20 prologic Yeah I’ll make sure to start including some in every released tag
