I do applied applied cryptography. 
Deliberately making things less easy to understand since 2015
Also, this is one of those “sharks are older than the North Star?!?” moments, but did you know the Python programming language is older than the Russian Federation? https://kowal.dev/blog/python-is-weird
Python is weird

Here is a collection of things that surprised me about Python. Some you probably already know, but I hope some will surprise you too.

I am currently listening to my Spotify All Time Top Tunes playlist and (as often happens when debugging) I temporarily forgot my current surroundings. I start to tune back in and my first thought was “wow this playlist is amazing, every song is a banger, wonder who created it?”

“You’re a black cab, yeah?”

“You’re a black cab, yeah?”

It would have been rude to stand and observe how this panned out, but I like to think he’s still there gradually working his way down the queue with his undoable ask

Just had one of those wonderful moments where I wish I could pull up a seat and watch the events unfurl. Walking to the train station and pass a timetravelling London yuppie from the 80’s, talking to the front taxi in the taxi queue, clearly not happy with what he has been told

So. Damn. Excited for this. #SIKTC
I’ve given Squarepushers new album “Kammerkonzert” multiple chances but I just can’t get into it. There are a few signs of life but on the whole I wouldn’t say it was one of his best. Anyone else feeling this?
Also, is there anything more insane than the fact that neither Atmosphere, Dead Souls or Love Will Tear Us Apart were on either of their albums? I mean, I know Factory were famous for some of their decisions but that’s just mind-boggling #JoyDivision #Factory
“no, that’s not what you do! Go UP!” #JoyDivision
I’m on a bit of a “Rediscovering Joy Division” kick at the moment. They were massively important to me when I was younger but I haven’t listened to them in ages, and the first thing that hit me is how viscerally “wrong” it is when Hooky’s bass goes low on “Disorder” #JoyDivision
