Newsom is another Tulsi. She’d played the liberal but wasn’t, there had always been some concerns given fathers anti LGBT stance. We saw only the tip of the iceberg yesterday. This man does not belong anywhere near the presidency!

Whom ever decided to pack hundreds of mega watts of lithium ion into a configuration that could have a chain reaction did no one any favors. Evacuated people will go home, but the damage to a critical technology is dire.

Development thought of the day “premature optimization is bad” applies only in code that’s encapsulated. It can be swapped out with optimized logically identical code, well tested and plopped into production.

Reminder I'm recruiting a graduate student to join the
@oupaleobiology.bsky.social lab in fall '25. My lab uses fossils, fieldwork, & statistical phylogenetic methods to study macroevolutionary processes in marine invertebrates, especially echinoderms. Please share & feel free to reach out! 🧪

Time restricted eating isn’t the fasting approach studied widely in animals. Alternate day feeding is. Alternate day fasting can even have an anabolic effect, some body builders use it that way.

Thanksgiving left overs?

Weird realization about Rust iterator foo. It kept feeling familiar, why? It’s essentially logically equivalent to SQL.

A pipeline data is “pushed” through.

Amazing thing is the assembly code that comes out is as efficient as that from good C/C++ code.

Rust is a language you hate at first but it’s just interesting enough to keep going. Then your past the hard stuff and fall in love.

It’s finally brought the high flying CS academic stuff down to earth, made it practical and performant. Finally a worthy successor to the C franchise.

“It’s a cold lake not a Michelin five star fish buffet. But we will give you your money back as a jesture of good will.”

“Don’t learn to code AI is coming for your job” coding is just the final stage of the process. Yes some teams exist where some people do nothing but code to an exacting spec. But this isn’t your usual programming position.

Programming is 1% knowledge, 1% intelligence, 1% experience and 97% throwing yourself at the problem relentlessly.

Postgres JSON in ETL process. External input is often best and most generally represented as a hierarchical structure. You don’t necessarily know up front what matters most in the data. For example I worked on processing state energy data. One record could be huge, you didn’t know up front. 1/2
