Just wrote a fun little algorithm for iterating through all grid positions within X euclidean distance from a center, roughly in order of distance but also mostly ensuring each position yielded is at least diagonally adjacent to the previous. It's a fun problem to think about with lots of design tradeoffs and many valid solutions.
My solution requires that the origin be on the grid (I think?) and uses a bunch of caching instead of a bajillion distance checks, although I don't actually know what the memory/speed tradeoff is like or whether there are any gains at all (could be net losses, which I'm starting to wonder about more as I write this post). Thankfully I don't expect performance to be very critical here anyways, and doing the caching actually helped separate some logic in a useful way.
A fun little diversion from bigger stuff in the project and a reminder of some of the joys of programming design at a small scope. Feels kinda like mastering the local town's minigame while you're stuck on the main quest in an RPG.

Eli Lilly Approved Obesity Drug for Mystery 79-Year-Old Patient
Questions are swirling over Donald Trump’s health after a bombshell report revealed a mystery man was getting unprecedented access to a weight-loss drug.

We expected rain (but no ⚡⛈️).
So we got our jackets, did our errands with our little bike trailer - and were lucky because it didn't even rain 💪
✅ Saved fuel again
✅ Physical activity
✅ Faster way to detach from work
✅ Saw a couple of cats
Totally recommended!

This does put me in mind of the time that #JuliaChild (she of “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” fame) was publicly outed as an agent of #DeltaGreen (qv,

I have a forty-five minute drive each way from my home to work, and my car radio doesn’t work. Fortunately the CD player does, so I often raid the Estacada Public Library for books on CD to listen …

I was born in 1974.
I have greatly benefited from the battles women before me fought.
I'm a licensed CPA with a Masters degree. Own my own home. Live a single, independent life with no one to rely on to cosign or oversee the financial decisions I make.
All of this was practically unthinkable for a woman when I was born.
I have no interest in allowing any of these achievements to go away. We must take back our reproductive rights and continue the fight for civil rights. Not only for cis white women. None of us are free until *all* of us are free.
