It's even worse than it appears.
I recorded a voice memo for my friend Rex about the state of the software I'm working on. It's the kind of thing I'll want to listen to in a while, so I uploaded it and you can listen too if you like. #
Here are the three new tools in my dock. It just turned out this way with the first and the third being related. Really weird! 🐮#
Twitter owns Broadway. They put up a hotel and hot spot, but not enough people can cram in. Why not let some other spots open?#
If only a few people do something, assume that it's hard. #
What if Russia started buying $TWTR stock? #
Were you part of the Berkman Thursday group in 2003-04?#
  • I'm writing an app to manage my Forever servers. #
  • I have a lot of it working, but I'm stuck at how to get a list of apps that are running, and the basic info about the apps like how long they've been running, where the log file is, what the process ID is. Basically all the info that forever is keeping for us. #
  • The Forever app does this in response to the forever list command. #
  • That's the info I want, but from within the app as a JS object. #
  • I posted an issue on the repo for forever-monitor.#
  • The other day I was trying to explain to an educated and intelligent non-native English speaker what extrapolation means. I was looking for an analogy and couldn't come up with one. Something in the real world that is an extrapolation. Struggling, I asked my friend if he knows what interpolation means. No, not that either. #
  • Well I still don't have an analogy, but I can explain the concepts. #
  • Imagine two points, A and B and a line connecting them. Put an arrow at the end of the line and then plot a point C that's also on the line. C is an extrapolation of A and B.#
  • For interpolation, imagine two points, and a line connecting them. Put a point on the line, inbetween the two points. That's an interpolation.#
  • In logic and stats it doesn't always follow that new data follow the pattern of previous data, but if they do, these are the words we use to describe the phenomenon. #
  • Steve Hanselman says on Facebook (sorry no link) that a veto-proof Russian sanctions bill just passed. I wrote him saying: #
    • You know what's going to happen Steve. Gridlock is going to break. This is the first step. Bipartisan collaboration. It's like when they said the US was the sole superpower and we would have a peace dividend. Nothing is ever permanent. Russia was certain to rise again. And the parties are going to realign now, and it's all up for grabs again. New Republican and Democratic parties with members of each switching sides, but probably for right now mostly Repubs becoming Dems. #
