Last year I tried to write some python like this (func-name arg arg)
and couldn't work out why it wasn't working 😇
Good morning to all you beautiful people ☀️
Morning!

If anyone is interested, Humble Bundle have a bunch of data science books for £12, here's the link https://www.humblebundle.com/books/data-science-books
Wow that's pretty awesome value
good morning maleghast
where is the name maleghast from if you don't mind me asking
Hello @danieleneal I don’t mind you asking at all 🙂 It is an invented portmanteau of “male” the latin word for evil (you’ll see it in other fictional names, like Maleficent, the witch from Sleeping Beauty), and a medieval English word “ghast” meaning man. Essentially it’s code for “evil man”, or more specifically “Man of Evil”. I “invented” it (at least I think I did) to name a central character in the novella I wrote as my long-form course work component for the creative writing minor I took in the final year of my degree (BA Hons English and American Literature - University of Kent at Canterbury). I might be able to point you to a place to read it if the mood takes you, but I realise that it’s not at the top of everyone’s list to read short novels by people they barely know on the internet 😉
After I got my mark in the course, which I was very pleased with and proud of - I got a First for the course and saved my degree from a fail to a Third - I adopted the name as my online handle and have used it ever since.
man of evil! sounds menacing 😄
nice work !
The character is the exiled God of Evil - think analogue for Satan - in a story about Gods meddling in the affairs of man.
@geek-draven thanks for sharing the humble bundle. Just purchased the full bundle
@yogidevbear @geek-draven Me too - thx!
@dominicm - What book is that, that you are sad is not included..? I have a feeling you’ve talked to me about it before and I’ve failed to make a note…
ooh is that designing data intensive applications - I'd like to read that too...
I managed to get my boss to purchase Designing Data Intensive Applications about 2 months back
Really great book
Busy skimming over the books in this purchase. Amazing value for money
Anyone read through Head First Data Analysis before?
This is the book I was thinking of. Isn’t Martin Kleppmann one of the people behind Samza?
Yeah, he is - this is the blog post that brought him to my attention, and that (originally) made me want to read this book. https://www.confluent.io/blog/turning-the-database-inside-out-with-apache-samza/
Designing Data Intensive Applications is an excellent book and Martin’s a lovely chap to talk to.
afternoon
yep 😄 was delicious
I'll be starting a new job on Monday in Canary Wharf, doing exciting things with Clojure. Thanks for all the support and encouragement I've received over the years from this great community.
If anyone is looking for their first full time Clojure role, I am happy to share my experiences.
i will be looking -- just as soon as i'm experienced enough in Clojure for that. right now i'm still much more adept at JavaScript (my current job), than Clojure, alas 😛
There are a good amount of opportunities for all levels of experience, especially if you have a few years experience with JavaScript or Java. I'll chat to you via a Direct Message on here later, I have to pop out for a few hours to get some new shirts for work 🙂
So long as I can wear black, I am happy.
There are lots of really nice companies out there with Clojure roles (full time and as part of other tech). Its a shame I can only work for one company at once 🙂
I am your community..... (in my best Darth Vader voice)
I am going to work for 'the man' as he will pay me lots of Euros...
Seriously though, it's Citigroup. I'll also be working with a few people from the local Clojure based consultancy named after a Clojure function
@yogidevbear landed! Let me know what you think. https://youtu.be/Uv9fyDTIPig
@maleghast one could read your name to be malemale
Awesome thank you @reborg!
Definitely going to make time to watch this over the weekend
