Vega uses SemVer, SemVer is broken, guess who had to spend two days rewriting their UI charts into something different, hoping next time it's going to be better...

@orestis what did you move to?

javahippie09:02:34

Is that just a frontend / UI thing? Our FE team has to plan every migration to the next Angular / UI lib / Table lib release with a serious amount of work. Did the JS community just accept that stuff breaks every 3 months?

orestis09:02:10

I used visx @otfrom - no idea about the stability but at least I get to manipulate an svg instead of using a Vegas obscure and annoying data language :)

orestis09:02:58

@javahippie I’ve not accepted it, I’m still at the anger phase 😂

Does anyone have any suggestions for a Chat-as-a-Service? Ideally with an SDK.

maleghast11:02:22

@thomas - This one looks interesting... https://getstream.io

maleghast11:02:15

And this whole platform solution has had me interested for a while: https://matrix.org

maleghast11:02:05

Anyone prepared to say “this one is best” for a Clojure / Clojuric library for reading data from Parquet files?

otfrom11:02:54

I think http://tech.ml.dataset has stuff for that. And if you are doing interop w/python and R then they have arrow even more speed IIUC

maleghast13:02:56

Ooh thanks @otfrom

maleghast13:02:08

It looks to be a very powerful library in some other ways as well - can’t believe I haven’t come across it before, but thanks for the hint :-)

otfrom13:02:34

that and tablecloth seem to be where the scicloj community are going

thomas11:02:01

yes, the first one looks good.

@raymcdermott the channel is working through the cute list, first babies, then puppies, likely cupcakes next 😉

mccraigmccraig14:02:20

hey @jasonbell - i clearly haven't been paying attention - i didn't know #clojure-europe was even there!

jasonbell14:02:57

“Listen carefully, I shall say this only once….”

This week I found a good first usecase for Babashka. For my next travel I wanted a bike that has been out of stock for months, but not exactly. I realized that sometime a few units appear in stock. So I wrote https://gist.github.com/Em-AK/f195602db6722212f217b2fd4d4febd5 to : • scrape the shop page (as I found no API) • extract the stock information for my model and size • and trigger a desktop notification if in stock Then I put the script in my crontab to run every 5 minutes. That was a lot of fun. Having the nrepl connection to the editor it felt very productive. Thanks @borkdude for this amazing tool 🙂 PS: yes, I got the bike! 🚴 https://contents.mediadecathlon.com/p1824558/kcd58dd29746c314441906e89c4020920/1824558_default.jpg?format=auto&quality=60&f=800x0
