My Citizen solar ecodrive watch will tick longer than me. People who wear watches still care about things like battery/wind/recharge time.

Big methods, big functions means it's *all* side effects. Side-effect driven development.
Getting reading to switch my reading list over to popular math books so I'll have a steady stream of programming project ideas.
Mulling starting yet another book club, because I didn't learn anything from the last 6. This time- pop science & math.
Started curating my Kindle samples. I need an intervention or I need to hire a librarian.
Status: looking for the next technique that will revolutionize my work like unit testing frameworks did.
Local tech companies have the most boring twitter feeds. I moved them to a list. Only employees are allowed to have personality.
I've had the munchies all day. Probably the pot air pollution from DC.
upsert logic shows a certain contempt for caring about pre-conditions and post-conditions.
The HP ProBook is the first beautiful business laptop I've been assigned. It shames Dell. Sorry Dell.

#python localization-- in the midwest, it's dict.pop(). Everywhere its, it's dict.soda() https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/stdtypes.html#dict
#python You keep using that dict, I don't think it means what you think it means.
Me after a few minutes of curating my twitter follow list and other lists. Everyone, they're somehow connected! https://x.com/mistersql/status/573551171002048512/photo/1

Curating my twitter feed(s). Everyone that is a tech celebrity or not in the DC area is going on a list.
Make pycharm happy, turn those ): faces into ) -> type: faces.
I'm going to post more positive comments. C++ 11. It's is a good programming language and has two pluses, what could be more positive?
Curating a twitter list is an exercise in depression. As soon as you find people w/ a good bio, you realize they have only tweeted 2x
Dunning–Kruger is my software development methodology. I didn't know there was a name for it already.
Will write code for Primal Strips(TM). http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=primal+strip&tag=mh0b-20&index=aps&hvadid=3527187507&ref=pd_sl_4dbi9ddgvj_e

I spent 62% of my work screen time last month staring at PyCharm. And it was staring back at me (3 days, 15 hrs).
Fear branching. When you create a branch and then keep them in sync for months because you are afraid of releasing the old branch.
Python data types- is it type a? Well these are all true: 1) it is a, 2)it is not a, 3)it is both a and not a, 4)it is neither a nor a.
@mistersql Multivalued Buddhist logic for expressing multiple sorts of having no clue what is true (or of a type) or not.

Adware, spyware, etc, has been renamed "customarily expected" and "essential" http://news.lenovo.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=1934
#python [so five trillion characters later] was that a list or an expansion?
the ): face in python means you have an unannotated function return value.
"Lenovo pledges to stop shipping all third party crapware." By renaming crapware, spyware, adware to features & enhancements right?
#python functional programming techniques with non-pure functions == non testable, dependency rats nest, cluster f*
I closed my software-dev-mgmt book club meetup. I think I got good turn out 50% too many 1-shows, two 0-shows, 1 cancel/no-rsvp. Lousy stats
Today I hate my job. Yesterday I didn't. Let's see how this evolves.
Unfair and arbitrary employee reviews create moral problems. And then the employees get in trouble for being "attitude" problems. Sigh.
Net Neutrality will be back on the legislative agenda next year, and the year after that, and the year after that, and the year after that.
So after adding annotation to my #python code it appears to all be strings, dict, list, which in turn can hold anything.
#python How do you annotate a function arg so that #pycharm knows it is a method pointer/lambda or the like? Tried to ask on #stackoverflow
