My kids spend a lot of time on coolmathgames.com

I wondered if anyone ever made bad math games or lame math games. I found this. Who wouldn't want to play games like Medical School Cost Simulator or Multiply Doctor?

for 2023, my resolution is to loose 15lbs.

my 2022 resolution was to be able to do a set of 5 pull ups. I only got to 3. I felt like my weight was holding me back, so I hope loosing a bit more will help me get closer to the 5.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Too bad he didn't post this on Reddit

I got all solid state drives so I can scream non-stop

This video parodies the issue pretty well. The names of the products are out of control.

Happy Thanksgiving back at you

Find a Bootcamp looking for "mentors" in your field. Don't be afraid of you are not an "expert". You can learn as you teach the curriculum. Just stay ahead of your students. I learned a ton this way.

F# has a lot more going for it than I expected. It is a great mix of the simplicity of python and type safety

Great read. Found this youtube from the FBI that shows the explosion:

I had this amazing extension for Google play music. it had cover art and some great hot keys. I noticed a bug with it pulling low Rez cover art sometimes so I tried to see if I could fix it in the source code. The GitHub repo was not public anymore, so I made the changes locally and it worked.

I emailed the dev (his email was on the about section of the extension). He told me that the code was no longer public because he was selling it to someone else that wanted to take it over. I had all kinds of red flags from this, so I uninstalled it right away.

A pullup bar (door frame) and resistance bands. Exercising at home has kicked me off into being healthier.

I love working from home, but the pandemic has amplified the parts of my job I am frustrated with. I have never been closer to wanting to leave than now. I would still want to work remotely, but with more of a purpose.

Scala seems to get the most love from spark users. But even then the python bindings are pretty good. Scala 3 is going to be released soon, so there might be a surge of interest.

Used golf clubs. It's a great game!

I turned an old laptop into a plex server. If you have a personal music library, you should do this.

are you supposed to say urql like "Urkel"?

One of the best endings to a story, ever!

I had a project that used docuSign a few years ago. There were some very strange things going on with their API.

I remember having to call them asking where to find a template ID so I could save that and send out the proper doc to customers. It was not listed anywhere on the developer dashboard. The rep told me in a very condescending way that it template ID was part of the URL. I should have known to just use that!

My app was written in a python backend. They had a some API examples in different languages for their docs. The python example was a total embarrassment. It was clear that the person who wrote it had no experience with python at all. I am not trying to be mean, it was that bad. Every line ended with a semicolon (in python this is not an error, but is officially discouraged). The person also seemed to not be aware of a dictionary. They built their json paylod by concatenating text. It was the messiest python code I had ever seen. I think this particular bit of code is gone now, but it was incredible.

I felt so bad that I emailed them some suggested fixes and asked if they had python experience. They responded with a something along the lines of ya, we had the java guy do that. But the code stayed up there for a long time...
