• SOC 2 is the standard for compliance criteria in data privacy. Third-party vendors and data organizations can be audited with this procedure to make sure they’re not doing anything shady with the company’s data. https://www.imperva.com/learn/data-security/soc-2-compliance/.
    • The Cartman escape rooms is fairly new, and only ~60 teams had tried it so far. Of the 60, only 4 had escaped, and we had the fastest time of the 4!
    • Damn, lockheed got a $35B order for 478 F35s.
    • Fresh order. They’re doing as close as 2hr delivery now.
    • More terrible recorder covers. Dead.
    • Supercontest.
      • Made the min-width styles !important. You don’t have to do the same for max-width, those are usually fluid.
      • Added arrow back to lb. Made name cols wider. Widened all logo cols.
      • Put a useful diverter so that the app doesn’t send any emails in dev mode. This is at the very end of the chain (within supercontest.util.email.send_mail) so that you cover as much of the sequence as possible before shorting.
      • Nothing is shown on the all-picks page until lockdown now.
      • Completely rewrote results, passing the full data through now (covers/pushes/noncovers, for finished/inprogress/unstarted). Now the lb can show each user’s record explicitly.
      • The sort is updated now: in progress points, completed points, etc.
      • Added faded color to the all-picks view as well (instead of header row).
      • This was a pretty big update, but mostly backend. Some cool stuff for user.
      • Deployed. https://gitlab.com/bmahlstedt-group/supercontest/issues/133.
      • Committed lines, checked new emailer (with unsubscribe), submitted my picks.
    • Remember, pure functions don’t change any global state and aren’t affected by any global state. They always have the same return/effect (for the same inputs).
    • Lol:
      • Post image
    • I always thought structures like NamedTuple or OrderedDict were weird collections designed for lazy programmers. If you need keys, use a dict. If you need order, use an iterable. If you need both, have one of each, not some frankenstein of both. I often keep my data in a dict and then have the sorted results as a separate definition. You’re sacrificing performance by doing anything else.
    • Sigur Ros for music today.
    • Tried a new matcha drink today. 1000x better than the black coffee and matcha.
      • Matcha, oat milk, agave, ice, blended.
    • World series game 7. Great game. The nationals (a wild card!) won.
    • Spotify should have a setting to filter out all the bs. Don’t show me live albums, commentary albums, eps with 2 songs, acoustic albums, deluxe albums with weird filler tracks, etc. Just show me their 4 studio albums. Thanks.
    • Zuckerberg has been taking a lot of heat for non fact-checking political content on fb (ads, posts, etc), which is admittedly something that very few other platforms do anyway. Twitter then came out and said it will ban all political advertising, starting on Nov 22. SHOTS.
