I shouldn’t have posted that so late in the evening. I meant to ask is anyone has very good Pulsar understanding and can help configuring our Pulsar cluster, not Kafka. But if you’re all telling me we should use Kafka instead, I’d like to hear that too of course.

mauricio.szabo 2021-01-26T23:00:01.146500Z

BTW, I would not recommend Kafka. I've seen it being used for all the wrong reasons, so if Pulsar is working with you, it's better to stay with it πŸ™‚

Don't Pulsar has some community / user group / mailing list. As they don't need to know anything about Clojure, I assume. Like in the other tread, they seem complementary rather than replacing one for the other. But I don't know the application so it could be Kafka would be a better fit.

Stefan 2021-01-26T07:50:11.127700Z

Yeah I’m joining their Slack now.

My friend bought some a few days ago and from what I can tell they've already more than doubled in value. Anyway, while the explosive growth right now is artificial, perhaps the previous value of the stock was too. I think the analysis that made r/wsb finally jump on it was pretty sound: https://youtu.be/GZTr1-Gp74U

2021-01-26T20:06:37.134Z

there is a spreadsheet for linux called "SIAG" (scheme in a grid), so why not use excel as "HIAG" (haskell in a grid)

2021-01-26T20:28:38.134100Z

I'm not brave enough to gamble with these meme stocks!

vlaaad 2021-01-26T20:52:59.134300Z

it's not just a meme though

2021-01-26T20:56:53.134500Z

It just doesn't seem like a good business. I guess it depends if you think they can pivot into online. Im not convinced.

2021-01-26T20:57:20.134700Z

I think the price is irrational.

2021-01-26T21:00:28.134900Z

These people on reddit wsb are financial lunatics.

Hi guys, I'm looking for something I was using in my previous install for clojure, transforming #{} (partial ) (comp ) in some fancy characters. I was looking for a font but I guess it is something else.

vlaaad 2021-01-26T21:50:08.137400Z

the price is rational, that's the thing

vlaaad 2021-01-26T21:52:32.137600Z

it is rational because of the asymmetry of supply/demand. if there are 10 shares, and shorters have to buy 15 shares because they decided to sign such a contract, the price will go very high because there are just not enough shares

dgb23 2021-01-26T21:53:59.138200Z

sounds like ligatures. I believe depending on the editor you need to enable them

2021-01-26T21:54:42.138300Z

When I say rational, I mean it seems, imo, to be unlinked to gamestops viability as a business.

2021-01-26T21:55:25.138500Z

I mean, its a high street game stop in the middle of a pandemic..

vlaaad 2021-01-26T21:57:59.138700Z

yes, it is not related to fundamentals, but technicalities make the price run up

2021-01-26T21:58:04.138900Z

I feel the same about tesla. I like the cars but the share price seems more linked to musk than fundamentals about tesla

vlaaad 2021-01-26T21:58:53.139100Z

actually after reading about GME and getting into it I understood WTF was going on with tesla

2021-01-26T22:08:14.141700Z

In intelligent you can use clojure pretty symbol plugin. Also a nice font with ligatures is first code.

blak3mill3r 2021-01-26T22:08:15.141800Z

@caumond that sounds like prettify-symbols-mode in emacs

2021-01-26T22:08:31.142300Z

Fira code. Bloody autocorrect.

caumond 2021-01-26T22:13:47.142900Z

yes, exactly, I'm using spacemacs !

Man, from this pandemic I really miss going out and getting tacos. I've not had a taco in probably almost a year. Or steamed buns, or pork baus. And no one near me does decent deliveries of these things. 😞
