Conference colateral benefit: catching up with Good old Friends & colleagues, talking research, and having a decent Espresso 😜

hahaha Verstappen .... the man lost it ... once he watches the replays he will realize that he lost his marbles on the restart #f1
Decent race for it being at Barcelona, Red Bull made it a bit tense there for McLaren

6 AM Thought:
I like getting up early to watch the sun rise. I couldn't see it today because it was cloudy, but I know it's still there.
(Can you tell that I had a decent night's sleep?) 😉

Love #SherylCrow and this is also a tune for a decent #Bond film.

I miss procmail. But this is a decent start for my web-hosted mail server.

I've struggled to find a decent #cricket podcast, and finally found a *great* one: "The Analyst Inside Cricket" by Simon Hughes and Simon Mann. Excellent stuff, and really good listening. I've actually started to go through several back issues starting from 2017. Check it out!

Chrono Odyssey (Playtest)
Requested access to CO's Playtest this weekend and got the notification on Friday I was in. Installed and launched the game. Game defaulted to Epic settings. Left it there and started the game. Right off the bat, the cinematics had strange artifacting on them. Almost looked like the Steam browser in the background was ghosting into the game somehow.
Created a character. Decent customization. Male doesn't look absurdly buff. Femme isn't overl…

This actually looks like a decent remake 🤞https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLguU7WLreA

Matt Damon as Loki, speaking to a group of greedy, wealthy execs:
"Do you know what makes a human being decent?
Fear.
And therein lies the problem. None of you has anything left to fear any more."

Just finished "Statistically Speaking" by Debbie Johnson. It's coincidentally the second book dealing with adoption that I've just finished, though I suspect in both cases not #OwnVoices, which I also suspect matters somewhat. I was well-absorbed and enjoyed it immensely, but was left again with the reservation that I'm sure it may reflect only that small facet of real life which is pleasing and/or tolerable to a wide audience, and may thus in its own way make things more difficult for those whose realities it does not reflect. I find myself very glad to have also recently read Mama by Nikkya Hargrove, which is autobiographical and which as a result of having more real-world complexity drives its similar point about found family home with more force, to me (to be fair, Johnson's work has a decent amount of real life complexity, for a novel).

I maintain a heterogeneous MSP environment for backup which consists of a collection of sh scripts (they mostly run on FreeBSD) with (c) notes dating back to 2004, with 5 authors, 4 of whom are no longer my cow-orkers. As the unfortunate 5th, I am still doing tweaks to catch edge & corner cases >20y after the 1st author had the idea that rsync, shell, mt, & standard POSIX tools could be assembled into a decent free backup world.
Use Python. Or Go. Or even Perl.

Decent #Connections puzzle today, though purple was a little surreal.

I had an idea the other day. I couldn't decide if it was a terrible idea or a decent idea. I decided to search the web today, and it turns out its a thing. So while my idea isn't unique by any means, its not terrible! https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-static/

If you want to help people in #academia who are maybe less fortunate than you, who have less famous supervisors, or work at less prestigious universities, here's one simple thing you can do:
Do proper literature research.
That means complete forward and backward snowballing from a decent seed set. Find everything that is relevant to your paper and cite it. Budget a couple of full…

Looks like github copilot PR review now supports all the languages in public preview. This will be useful for me as I commit #fsharp code a lot. In fact I had a PR today that it reviewed, found a few decent suggestions actually.
