• Updated resume and sent it to a woman I met at CrossFit on Saturday, Eunice Quezon. She’s from the bay but currently works as a technical PM at Warner Bros in LA.
    • Researched beef cuts and grades. Already knew prime -> choice -> select, but was curious which part of the cow the cuts were from:
      • The chuck is the front shoulders, around the neck The round and shank are the rear legs / butt area. Neither of these produce the incredible cuts. They’re better for burgers, pot roasts, rump roasts.
      • The brisket is the pec. Below the head, above the legs.
      • Everything else is in the region between the legs. 3 primary sections, from head to tail: rib, short loin, sirloin.
      • Rib: ribs, ribeyes.
      • Short loin: t-bone, porterhouse, filet mignon (tenderloin).
      • Sirloin: tri-top, sirloin.
      • The last section is the belly underneath those three, called the plate and flank. That’s where we get skirt steak and flank steak.
    • SC
      • Created a ticket for the production deployment container: https://github.com/brianmahlstedt/supercontest/issues/27.
      • Downloaded sqlite db browser (same one I had on my SpaceX MBA). Just makes it easier to graphically observe a db, rather than prodding it from the command line.
      • Had to go into the southbaysupercontest gmail account and enable access for less secure apps again. I thought I had already, but in any case it’s working now.
      • Went through Ling Thio’s starter app, comparing and merging with my supercontest app to template some of the basics. Looks good.
      • Pruned a lot of the flask-simple-app for my purposes. Refreshed on many flask extensions, like -login, -wtf, etc.
      • There is a lot of stuff that these extensions provide under the hood. I like that, but I also hate it. You get a ton of methods, decorators, and properties like current_user, login_user(), roles_required, blah blah. It also gives you entire routes and views, like the /user/ subdomain.
    • A nice all-in-one flask template app which serves a site with forums; https://github.com/akprasad/flask-forum.
    • reCAPTCHA is an open source project from Google that allows easy captcha integration.
    • A rainbow table is the table used in a dictionary attack, the one I mentioned above. It’s a list of common passwords and their algorithm-hashed results, to compare to other databases for matches.
