omitted was Moneyball, which is also rather nice

In the circles I participate in, Taleb is considered something 
of a snake oil salesman.  He had an early technical work on 
pricing complex options, but then seemed to re-invent himself 
as Michael Lewis

see also:

Fortune's Formula: The Untold Story of the Scientific Betting 
System That Beat the Casinos and Wall Street
by William Poundstone

was not on that list and is well worth the read.  The 'binary' 
nature of decisioning making help ofered by a of a Kelly 
criterion has inspired further work by Ohioan Ralph Vince ( a 
personal friend ) as to 'optimal' position sizing when 
investment allocation multiple choices exist, but the work is 
quite technical and hard to generalize a easy to state rule 
out of

I see that Amazon has used hardcover copies of

Fischer Black and the Revolutionary Idea of Finance
by Perry Mehrling

essentially for shipping cost, and I found that work quite 
thought provoking

    does CMYK make sense for tkinter?

    https://github.com/cohpy/challenge-201608-refactor/tree/master/james-prior
In earlier challenges, some entrants submitted their code at the last moment to
keep others from seeing their code until it was too late for others to use it.
Three folks have adopted a different tact, publishing code early.
Of those, one has not entered their code in the challenge.
At least one of the early entrants deliberately released incomplete code.

Message-ID: <CACLJ_dHYJYMFeaBe6pW+fiVNtETrVv2i3-6p40wsfMQodrsTVQ@mail.gmail.com>

Once again, PyOhio will have a ".org" sponsor table at Ohio Linux Fest.

We're looking for people to help staff the table from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on
October 8th.

You don't have to be there the whole time, but if you are planning on
coming to OLF, we'd love to have you help out for an hour or two.

Just be prepared to chat about how awesome PyOhio and Python are.

More info about the conference is here:

https://ohiolinux.org/

If you are going to be at the early bird session on Friday October 7th,
note that PyOhio founder Catherine Devlin is the Friday evening keynote
speaker!

https://ohiolinux.org/speakers/#catherine-devlin

If you can help out, email brian.costlow at gmail.com with the time you can be
at the booth.

Cheers,

Brian
