Clojurians Log v2

great talk! and great vibe at the meeting

Enjoyed it and learned some good stuff.

Thanks! Glad to hear it. I’ll keep trying to understand when to actually use eduction , haha.

I think you just need more education in order to understand eduction.

Really helpful presentation, though. Thanks, Cameron!!!

the enchiladas were outstanding as well

Anyone wanna talk at next months meetup? 😎

Slots are open! 😂

I still have a couple of topics I want to do, but I’m heads down now, at work, for some super tight deadlines.

@mlimotte Does that mean you can’t do it next month, or you can’t commit right now but might be able to later? Also it looks to be on Valentine’s day, which might be an issue for some…

Not next month, but I can rally for the month after that.

Totally fair, I just want to get a jump on scheduling this time around. @mlimotte So we can lock you in for March 13th?

Sorry I couldn't make it, I'll check out the recording

Hopefully Tanya's car is fixed by the next one 🤞

Sadly, no recording

Well, slides then

And yes, it is on Valentines Day

Bring a date

What’s the most romantic Clojure topic? 🤔

Destructuring

Ouch

🤣

I was thinking Conj

😆

Yes. March 13

@mlimotte And is that going to be specter or lib-python?

I updated Meetup page for March 13 with Marc talking TBD

I’d say lib-python. i want more time with specter-- it’s a whole ’nother language. But the lib-python is only going to 15 to 20 minutes. I played with it a bit, but didn’t have a need to use it in the end. Just going to show basic capabilities, syntax and a few things I learned w/ examples. Do we have another short talk to pair with it?

Would love to see if anyone did cool stuff with babashka, or nbb. Ideally a TUI that you use

@mlimotte I imagine we can find something.

@dpsutton I’m using it more and more and I’ve replaced most of my scripting in projects with it (deploy scripts, little tools), but I haven’t really done anything notable.

I use it as a make replacement for my personal website

Not really complex enough to be too interesting

I was gonna show libPython-clj since I didn’t get too. But if you wanna show it Marc, that’s fine

I was gonna show some Python numpy and stuff

I could do a thing, and then you could show some additional examples afterward?

Matt Cox has better stories, though.

So what’s the topic for next Wednesday meetup?

valentine’s day, closing day on the new house, and clojure meetup day. busy day

uh oh.. didn’t notice that. conflict?

not sure. the house is the big valentine’s day present

but decent chance we want to celebrate at night too

Are you tying a bow on it? “Surprise!!!”

My father did that for my mom for their first house lol

jenny is having to reach out to two jobs prior, a startup who’s name has changed and no one who worked with her works there now to verify employment. Absolutely nothing about this house will be a surprise

“Jenny, would you mind filling out these 10 surveys and getting notarized?” “What’s this for?” “Oh, nothing.. just curious”

“jenny, just as a lark, can you verify that you are authorized to work remotely and it will not affect your compensation. you know, like for kicks and stuff”

yea man. that’s the price for romance.

Ahh the total loss of financial privacy that comes with getting a mortgage

"Did your parents give you this $100 to buy a house?!" No it was for my birthday. "We need a letter from your parents to prove that"

yeah. and the weird thing is, i’m not having those issues. So not sure if my company responded or it’s just a sexist system

Great interview with Matthew Cox, $55 million mostly in Mortgage fraud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMYvGf7BA9o In case you need some motivation.
