#Caturday

Deux chats côte à côte. Ils sont allongés sur un canapé. Le mâle, un gros tigré lèche la tête de la femelle une écaille de tortue. C’est hyper mignon

Shoutout to all my students who patiently tolerate my use of @… 's dithered QR code generator every time I want to give them a URL in the slides.
andrewt.net/dithered-qr-codes/

It's a QR code, but the dots form a dithered image of a weird horned ogre head emerging from a lake in front of a kneeling woman in a headscarf.

Prognose von @… sagt, dass Sonntag alle 25 Stunden die Erzeugung aus Erneuerbaren höher als die Last ist. Bis ~16:00 ist der Preis quasi bei 0. Ich glaube draußen ist Wind…

Diagramm mit dem Titel „Prognose“ für Sonntag, den 25.10.2026 (Energy-Charts.info): Es zeigt den prognostizierten Anteil erneuerbarer Energien („Anteil EE (%)“ von 0 bis 160) über den Tagesverlauf von 12:00 AM bis 12:00 AM des Folgetags.

„Keine Abkopplung von China“
(Eigener Bericht) – Mit Blick auf die zunehmenden Handelskonflikte zwischen der EU und China bemüht sich Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier auf seiner letzten Chinareise im Amt, eine weitere Eskalation der Spannungen zu verhindern. China ist dabei, seine Ausfuhren in die EU und insbesondere auch nach Deutschland in mehreren Branchen massiv zu steigern. Dies betrifft vor allem Hybridautos, aber auch Chemikalien und Maschinen. Damit werden chinesische Unternehmen zur Konkurrenz für deut…

I resolved this year to have my slides for my graduate level stats class do more to engage with the eugenics and elitism that forms the backbone of academic quantitative methods. I think this representation of Fisher in my lecture on logit/probit regressions today turned out nicely.

Patrick Stewart was of course an incomparable actor in movies and shows. But in my heart he will never top the time he got stoned with Sunny Ozell and let her film him instructing us all in the quadruple take.

I needed a way to have unique, student-facing identifiers for the people taking my class to ensure that name collisions don't cause students to see each others' info.
Sure, I _could_ use their student ID number, or a regular hash. But those would be obviously inferior to writing a bespoke unicode-face-making hasher function.
Was it a good use of my time? Absolutely.

A column of faces made out of unicode characters (not emoji), like the emoticons of the web of yore. They look kinda manga-y.

Today in "Adventures in ADHD brain" :
I forgot to take my meds and could not for the life of me remember which classroom I was teaching in. This is the SIXTEENTH time I've taught this class this term, but had to try four different rooms on three different floors before I found the one with the right students in it. This all took place within thirty meters of my office and I spent ten minutes wandering around like a lost freshman.
Can we all just agree to skip today …
