I'm learning Rust. Yesterday, I did a quick overview of borrowing and was confident I understood the concept. Today, I wrote a function that passes parameters to a fixed number of threads that process data in a loop. That humbled me. Now, I think, maybe I understand.

No matter how last night's fight ended, Jake Paul was going to look like an asshole. If he lost, he lost to a 60 year old guy. He won, he beat up a 60 year old guy.

Ok, I'm thinking about SSO for my app. I'm wondering why I would pick saml over oauth. CAS and ADFS support oauth. Oauth is definitely simpler to implement. But it seems more services go the saml route, why?

Today I was messing around with pygame and vkeyboard with a touchscreen. I noticed when touching the screen that touch events and mouse events fired off causing double type. Disabling one solved the issue. Is that normal?

Server configuration issues can be a pain. I noticed some of my postmark inbound email webhooks were failing. Too much data in the post. Had to adjust nginx, gunicorn, and Django request body sizes. Took me a few hours to figure that out.
