Enjoy my terrible drawings!

Saw an interesting comment on HN, on temporal vs. fundamental content. https://garrit.xyz/posts/2024-01-02-temporal-vs-fundamental-content  @garritfra heading for 2024 predictions has a typo, I think. Should be 2024 not 2023! @garritfra Given that I know the town where you're living and I also sold my car in 2021, I totally support your goal of selling your car as well! Sign up for Sheepersharing.com, get a bike (or Pedelec) and maybe also a Bahncard and your good to go 😉 There's also a great book by @heibie "Einfach autofrei leben". Here's a list of articles that have piqued my attention lately. I hope you'll find something useful in there!  This is post 100 of #100DaysToOffload. I made it! :ablobcatrainbow: https://garrit.xyz/posts/2023-12-23-100daystooffload-i-made-it

  People say it takes 10.000 hours to master a skill. Some thoughts on that. This is post 099 of #100DaysToOffload. "Immutability Changes Everything" is the first scientific paper I ever read from start to finish. It's very short, fun to read and beginner-friendly. This is post 098 of #100DaysToOffload. In reply to @m2m's recent post, I added some context to my website's #blogroll. This is post 097 of #100DaysToOffload. I think you have formatting broken for some links? Btw Thanks for the update, I think I will update my blogroll with the context as well. If one proof wasn't enough, here's another reason why you can't divide by zero: https://garrit.xyz/posts/2023-12-19-another-reason-you-can-t-divide-by-zero This is post 096 of #100DaysToOffload. @garritfra wait until you hear about Riemann sphere and extended comlex numbers, where division by zero works. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_sphere Inversion still does not work for division by 0 there, so it does not form a field. But it's useful for other things. For as long as I can remember, I often had the feeling of not being able to take a full breath. Here are some notes on this so called "air hunger": https://garrit.xyz/posts/2023-12-18-overcoming-air-hunger This is post 095 of #100DaysToOffload. @garritfra I’ve been dealing. With this for about a year. Same thing, feels like I need to keep yawning, can’t get enough air in. Mine seems to be related to anxiety, but it’s tricky because I don’t _think_ I’m anxious when it starts. I'm finally off coffee! 🍵 https://garrit.xyz/posts/2023-12-15-i-m-finally-off-coffee This is post 094 of #100DaysToOffload. @garritfra Great! Fun fact: I really don't like drinking coffee, because I hate the taste. But in school I was kind of addicted to caffeine pills because I thought they were boosting my concentration. I stopped taking them, when I noticed, I'm getting tired without the pills. My favorite drink nowadays is tab water. And I also drink the occasional tee or juice. But I try to avoid alcohol.  @garritfra I used to drink 2, 3 or mayne 4 big cups of #coffee during workdays. I'm pretty sure I was around 1l of the black stuff a day. Except weekends. At home I maybe drank one cup of instant per day. Weekends were punctuated with a very strong #migraines. This went on for at least a couple of years if not more, until I crossed the Atlantic, changed my habits by chance, and drank less coffee. Months to years later I figured it out, because of course I never asked a doctor. I've been learning #Japanese on Duolingo for about three months now, and for some reason I find it much harder to remember Katakana compared to Hiragana. Maybe it's because I started with Hiragana and stuck with it for quite some time? I feel like my brain is trying to recall Hiragana when reading Katakana.

@garritfra Imagine bothering to post to your own website 93 times 🔥🔥🔥 /s Congrats: 93 is 93 more than I have done! I really should bother myself.... 😅 @garritfra Your site is pretty good, but … - you should underline your links! https://thoughts.jatan.space/p/colored-vs-underlined-links Would also appreciate a roast of my site 😄 Formula E is essentially Mario Kart. https://garrit.xyz/posts/2023-12-11-formula-e-is-essentially-mario-kart This is post 092 of #100DaysToOffload. Gerade wurde mein neuer #Golem Artikel zum Thema teamübergreifende Werteströme im Kontext von #DevOps veröffentlicht. Viel Spaß beim Lesen! 🙂 https://www.golem.de/news/wertestrom-in-devops-das-projekt-am-laufen-halten-2312-180174.html @garritfra Gratulation zum Artikel auf Golem 😄 Leider haben die ihr Abomodell vor einiger Zeit angepasst und packen nun auch alles hinter die Paywall. 😒 Yesterday's Day 3 puzzle took a full 3 hour train ride to finish, just for part 1. https://github.com/amrutha-b-nair/Advent-of-Code/blob/main/2023/day3/solution.py Is it just me, or are this years puzzles way harder than the last years? @garritfra Today's (#4) was the first I didn't make a meal of. For some reason my brain hasn't been in gear and I've been misinterpreting things and making daft mistakes. E.g. I got the wrong answer y'day because I couldn't add up a list of numbers. I checked the actual logic, couldn't find a mistake (because there wasn't one!), emitted the list and added them in excel. Then spotted the spectacularly stupid error.

Day 2 in Javascript: https://github.com/garritfra/adventofcode/blob/master/2023/Day2/javascript/solve.js My higher-order-functions-skills are a bit rusty. 😅 'tis #AdventOfCode time y'all! https://github.com/garritfra/adventofcode/commit/1b48d91e617512c315c935506249897eb6293938 Day 1 Part 1 was easy. I'll have to come back later for part 2 though. :headdesk: 😅 Another pocket notebook is done. 📓 https://garrit.xyz/posts/2023-12-01-field-notes-3 This is post 091 of #100DaysToOffload. I just talked to someone who knows #math and I asked them why you can't divide by zero. I feel enlightened. 👀 https://garrit.xyz/posts/2023-11-30-why-you-can't-divide-by-zero This is post 090 of #100DaysToOffload. |
