I have programmed in many languages. I like Swift. I stumbled my way through Objective-C. Perl was great while I retained its syntax in my head. Javascript is… Javascript. But Python. Python is probably my favourite. It’s so strict on its form, and so powerful in its function.
This is incredible. Solar eclipses on Mars, including an animation of the shadow of Phobos racing across the landscape!
Every city should do this.
Amsterdam to ban petrol and diesel cars and motorbikes by 2030
2019-05-04 be with you.
The New Zealand road toll now stands at 140. 140 people. If cars were anything else they’d have been banned by now.
Awerrrrrrrraaaa!
So sad to see Guyon Espiner leave Morning Report. Looking forward to what his new investigative role produces, and to see how his replacement, Corin Dann, keeps the politicians on their toes. Just hope he’s as passionate about Birds as Espiner is.
This morning’s Wellington morning shot from @polhillnz on Twitter.
I hope, above hopes, that when iOS 13 comes out, it’ll allow placement of app icons anywhere on the screen, without the silly top-left down model that’s been around since 2007. iPhones are so gigantic now that the top left is the most unreachable point.
Science Fiction isn’t about spaceships flying around going pew pew with lasers. It’s about exploring ways in which humans will behave in wild, fanciful situations and with and against incredible technological advances.
So I go these yesterday. And they’re bordering on magic. I know they’ll only last as long as any other bluetooth headphones, but I still think they’re worth the gigantic premium.
Just got my flu vaccine, because science.
I fixed my beloved Sony MDR-10RBTs. I initially bought them for an absolute bargain, and now they’ll live on! Fixing things feels great.
Lindt 90% Cocoa: 14 g of carbohydrate per 100 g
Lindt “No Sugar Added” milk chocolate: 52 g per 100 g
A lot of sugar free food is bordering on a scam.
I’m watching Episode 3 of Game of Thrones’ final season. Did they film this episode using lighting from a single phone flash? Because there’s a lot of sounds and silhouettes. Unfortunately I can’t see in infrared or ultraviolet, so I guess I’ll just imagine what’s happening.
Well, I’ll never be able to watch Star Wars again without a full, live orchestra playing the score. Empire Strikes Back in Concert was outstanding.
Eeeeeeeee!
I’m heading to see The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra plays The Empire Strikes Back. So I’ll be watching Empire with the orchestra playing the score throughout!
I spent a couple of hours trying to manipulate strings using zsh, awk, sed, cut, regex and grep. Two hours of hair pulling frustration Finding things that would work at the command line wouldn’t work when executed in a script. Remembered that I was a proficient python programmer a year ago. 10 minutes later, I’d written and tested a 4 line python script that did everything I needed across a set of test data. The CLI is liberating and powerful, but sometimes it’s just an absolute pain in the arse.
No new Star Trek: Discovery tonight 😢
Had to rebuild my Raspberry Pi from scratch because the SD card that holds the operating system corrupted itself. I take backups but they’re only so useful, and I like rebuilding from scratch so I can clear out any old cruft.
Is there a super cut somewhere of non-English-speaking newscasters pausing for a second before mispronouning an english language name or place?
