Free-range computer scientist living in Evanston, Illinois. Former academic. I teach computer science courses, but you'll probably find me yapping on about bikes, dogs, and other random stuff here. I wrote the Python Cookbook, 3rd Ed (O'Reilly) and Python Distilled (Addison-Wesley).

So, with the purpose of this trip being a visit to nice quiet liberal arts college, we somehow found ourselves here last night. Uh.....

We had a great time. The key to a really good road trip, I think, is to impulsely do weird stuff that's outside your norm. Like that time I visited the Lawrence Welk childhood home and Graceland on the same road trip.

This seems interesting and relevant to my exhaustion comment.

Hoping a math genius can explain the "correct" answer on this to me.
So, I think I successfully convinced Matt Godbolt that coding Rust with ed is the future of coding. cc/ @mattgodbolt
Like biking in the snow at 4:30am, when you code with ed, you know you'll code alone in a blissful state of flow.

"So Mabel, hear me out for a moment. Because of memory safety--Rust. Because of memory prices--ed."

"Yeah, the standard editor."

"Anyways Mabel, day 5 of my project awaits."

Meanwhile in the news, these three stories were just reported back to back. A missed opportunity on that last story given that the deer was clearly trapped inside said store.
Dog enjoyed it.
The snow biking was absolutely epic this morning. Maybe the best ever. Plus came across a rarely seen pair of coyotes.
I think I want to write this.
