Science provides us with some of the most elegant, stimulating puzzles that life has to offer. It throws some of the most provocative ideas into our arenas of moral debate. ~ Robert M. Sapolsky

Just realized it’s been 2 months since I put anything on here. Too bad there’s been nothing to talk about.

I just completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/4

So many sliding windows in this matrix!

Self-awareness is like an onion. It has layers, and you will inevitably cry while getting to the center. ~ Mark Manson

“Ut operaretur eum… Let us get to work… without philosophizing; it is the only way to render life tolerable.” - Candide, Voltaire.

This will be sticking with me for a good, long while.

You bear responsibility for your ideas because they’re the face of your conscience. ~ Kai Bird, Martin J. Sherwin

Interesting quote to chew on…

Seeing all these people and their domains makes me think I need to reprioritize my old portfolio/blog site. But I really don’t wanna…

As an aside… while I appreciate the “I am __so__ glad BlueSky isn’t {other platform}”, perhaps we should focus on more engaging conversations instead of self-congratulating and comparisons.

In the immortal words of Bonnie Raitt:

“Let’s give them something to talk about.”

I can’t decide if “skeeting” as a term for posting on BlueSky (which also has the unfortunate acronym of BS) is funny or disturbing. I’m enjoying socials again on here, but the slang will definitely leave the platform wide open to parody. Perhaps we should find less controversial terms?

I have the day off… I guess I should finally finish a course I started 9 months ago, or should I finish the one I started 2 months ago? On the other hand, I’ve got a new note-taking system, so I’ll just start a new course with that but finish it later.

“I didn’t get too old to stop skating, I became old when I stopped skating.”

Friendly reminder to do things that make you happy.

Don’t mess this up.
Don’t mess this up.
