I love cycling. I can’t stand most bike shops. The one closest to me has people hovering over you. The one I just went to kept pushing the upsell with “for a little more” or “would you like to add a one year crash warranty for your helmet?”

Bicycle Man in Alfred Station has been my favorite. They aren’t close but they really wanted to make sure I was happy with my purchases. They wanted to understand my goals _first_ and didn’t push the most expensive items.

I look back fondly at the times I spent making things with my father. This is why I’m so happy to help my youngest daughter explore her @SnapCircuits and integrate them into Raspberry Pi projects. Tonight we built a system to automatically launch a fan blade.

I said it last week but state machines are a lost art. We make them all the time but in the worst ways & often not explicitly. Just by modelling a bunch of objects and events or vaguely connected micro services and lambdas. Simplicity comes if you think in state machines IMO.

It looks like @GreenlightFiber is losing a customer today because they won’t move an entry panel 6 feet without a big charge. @GetSpectrum is half the cost per month for two years. I’ll save $1200 over that time period. I’m losing upload speed but I think I can handle it.

I removed a bunch of poison ivy from some bushes. What are the odds I get a rash?

We have created a Threat Intelligence datafeed on Discord. It aggregates data from various clear-net cyber security domains and provides updates in-near-real-time. We hope it provides you value. We are currently populating the server. Mute notifications. discord.gg/MSjAQe4PUy

Have I discovered my first corporate counterexample to Hanlon’s Razor? #ohshit #consulting

When I make a post about how I see the software engineering market evolving and what employers must consider, I inevitably get an influx of messages from people thinking I want to leave my job.
I bet @a_vulaj has thoughts on this.
TIL WTF a “trie” is. I’m a little confused though, websites acknowledge that it’s a somewhat obscure data structure that most people will have never heard of, I think you should also use it for interviews? That seems disingenuous
