My family and I spent our first night on the land we bought this weekend... pretty cool.

Getting breakfast on the first day of us owning our land!

The fastest way to detect a vowel in a string

The author explores 11 different methods for detecting vowels in a string using Python, benchmarking their performance and analyzing their underlying implementation, including Python bytecode and regex internals. The results show that for short strings, a simple loop is fastest, but for longer strings, regex-based approaches outperform others due to their optimized C-level implementation...

The fastest way to detect a vowel in a string

Diving into CPython, bytecode, regex, and algorithmic analysis to find the fastest method.

It’s going to be ok. Not for everybody, but for most of us, for awhile. Weird, and probably dangerous, but for most of us ok. We will make it.

Don’t give up.

For whatever reason, I have a bunch of friends from abroad where the only way I routinely keep in touch with them is through LinkedIn. I periodically check out what the content on LinkedIn looks like as I follow up on them.

Invisible Cities

That was fantastic. It’s a short book but it took me several days to read through the 165 pages or so because the book is crammed with meaning and metaphor and symbol. I do not think i understand what the entirety of the underlying message but I will assuredly read it again. It was a beautiful work of art and a pleasure to read. Weird in the best way.
