[CentralOH] [Monthly Meeting] Recap of March 2020 meeting

[Damien Calloway]

Hello all !


This evening Guy Royse gave us a nice presentation on using bloom 
filters in Redis - very helpful for data analysis.

https://automatetheboringstuff.com - useful for getting a running start 
on this (and in sharing with Pythonistas in general)


https://github.com/guyroyse/data-structures - this is where the talk can 
be found

We learned how to analyse UFO sighting reports with the bloom filter, 
and with Python. We also learned that Mulder and Scully’s boss was 
Assistant Director Walter Skinner

Interesting tangent - Mash: fast genome and metagenome distance 
estimation using 
MinHash

We also adjourned to discuss Pink Floyd, elasticsearch, and paw paws. I 
will have a video posted soon
