I don't know what I think about these new Tam Tam boxes

Let's see if Numba is better than lovingly [read as "irritatingly"] hand-crafted C++/Cython

That's right, bitches, I'm writing a design doc "CSV as a convenience format, user's problem if slow"

I’m looking at this chess board, and we both have terrible positions

How many distributed data generators will I write in my lifetime? I feel like I do a new one every year

I've been entirely too tired since 6pm

Fixed! It was because I named an object createIteratorWithBaseCFReadOpts! (Actually, no, that was not it, but it should have been. Look at how atrocious that name is)

Maybe if I remove enough code it will go away 73 files +3281 -3679

Fixed! Now it's time for the second SIGSEV!

Note: don't allow GHC to GC an Iterator after the Iterator's database is closed

That's right! lldb, bitches!

Tracking down this SIGSEV is like playing whack-a-mole. It will teach me to not make a giant commit with 5712 changes in it again

My second favorite surgery name: "postganglionic parasympathetic nerve lysis". My first is "uvulapalatopharyngeoplasty"

10 minutes with doctor and another surgery scheduled. It’s going to be a record year for going under the knife

MD is running 30 minutes behind

Izzie’s speech for her siyyum was about rain

I did not lose 3TB of data. I am pleased.

This baguette is right at the edge of edibility. *cronch-cronch-cronch*

Oh, ifs_info says it's an XFS partition but mount says it's not. I'm going to loose 3TB of data here, aren't I?

Minor hearing loss in both ears at the two highest frequency ranges. To be expected at my age and nothing to worry about.

Waiting for a hearing test

The email about the siyyum says 3pm. Log in to Zoom and it says, "Scheduled for 330pm" Lies! Filthy lies!

I’ve been rereading things a lot lately: my letter to Izzie (good), my ultrasound and MRI results (bad), about high-grade rotator cuff tears (very bad), my texts with Rebecca (good). I need to distract myself better.

Celebrating Izzie’s Siyyum for Masechet Ta’anit tomorrow

I forgot how good a baguette with corbezzolo honey is

I’m tired of low grade medical anxiety

MRI results are better than the ultrasound ones in 1 way and worse in another way. The ultrasound has one tendon completely torn. The MRI has two tendons mostly torn.

And the MRI results from my 9am appointment are available. Beth Israel doesn't fuck around. Now to wait until next Wednesday for the followup with the surgeon

It never fails. I get in the MRI tube, and I want to scratch my face and take a shit

This will be my 18th or 19th MRI. I lost the exact count around 15

I’m at a grocery store. They have a store brand pound cake. It’s kof-k. I buy it. I shouldn’t have. It is not good.

830 tomorrow morning. I like efficiency.

Getting scheduled for an MRI

Off to see the orthopedic surgeon

I’m playing asynchronous chess via phone app for the first time. I’m going to have to learn a new set of habits because I am not retaining state between moves and am doing dumb stuff

That was, indeed, the problem

I always approve of Yasmine Hamdan posts

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I see. This might be the problem: O(n^2)

What’s taking all the time? Iterating through all the keys in the database or writing them to a binary file?

I was thinking of the guy that taught me how to make cowboy boots. He was a big good ol' cowboy. Once he said, "I didn't like any of my classes except art." Which, for some reason, surprised me though it made perfect sense. He was an artist in every sense of the word except he made lots of money.

Distributed systems have so many failure cases. "But what if the ACK is eaten by the network?" [Just reassign the work and do it again because luckily it's idempotent] "Is the work assigned, pending, complete, in limbo?"

It’s how you know this place has the juice

I wonder which of my behavioral vectors got me here. I am definitely on some watch lists.

My orthopedic appointment is tomorrow, and I hope I can get surgery scheduled right away. Like, let’s do this thing next week.

When the girls at the seminary discovered that the Patriots and Seahawks were playing in the Super Bowl, they looked toward Izzie; she has spent most of her life in those two cities. “I don’t care about sports.” *sniff* That’s my girl.

Nothing makes one prouder to be British than someone resigning in disgrace because we still understand both those words

Every Thursday night I live stream nail art. For my first stream of Black History Month I asked chat to choose between 4 Black scientists I’d pre-selected. Chat, in their usual fashion, said “all 4, please”. Hence: Margaret Collins, Kathrine Johnson, Sophie Lutterlough, and Charles Henry Turner.

Oooh. That's a bad double-negation bug. I've been optimizing for the lowest throughput not the highest. I've been assuming that running on my laptop has caused the low results

I love waking up at 215am and not being able to go back to sleep! (No, no I don't)
