Started using the foot massager. Feels amazing, nice break in the middle of the day. Also helpful since I’m at the standing desk for 12 hours every day. Hurts a lot. Hopefully my back recovers soon, I’m finding it harder and harder to stay focused on work; not because of the work, but because I can’t be in a comfortable position for long periods of time.
Elon saying that the CA regulation during this time is the last straw – moving tesla to tx/nv.
First UFC event in months! Amazing card. Eerie with no audience.
Elon went on JRE for a second time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcYjXbSJBN8. Wasn’t quite as good/provocative. They focused on neural net and coronavirus for almost the whole time.
Kid’s name is pronounced x-ash-a-12.
Bought a flight back to LA, one-way until pandemic is done.
Docker swarm is docker’s own container orchestration tool.
Next.js for static sites or server-side rendering. Meteor, koa, hapi, some other frameworks. Express still the most popular.
Amazon reached out again. Athena (serverless query for s3 data), EMR (large data processing, like web indexing / data mining), and Glue (ETL).
Simple ETL: pull first name and last name from 2 source (Extract), assemble them together (Transform), write full name to another db (Load).
Watched blackfish.
Emailed Roger/Robert to check in on the underwriting. Had to get another gift letter with “repayment required” unchecked.
Youtube ad revenue wildly varies based on content, but it’s usually around $5/1000views. Can be as low as $1 or as high as $50. Sponsorship depends on size/content but Matt Stonie probably gets like $50k for a 60s honey ad? You also get a little through affiliate marketing (amazon links, etc). Overall, you can definitely make an annual salary that matches your # of subscribers.
Berkshire sold their entire airline position, from 7.5b to 4b.
Was able to finally get a delivery window for amazon fresh. Ordered on monday, supposed to arrive today. First box came, second one didn’t. Double checked with front desk and receiving dpmt. Asked amazon, they said check back in a couple hours because drivers will sometimes make 2 laps. Waited a few hours, nothing. Reached out to amazon support again. They issued a refund.
Best buddies called! Got to speak with a recipient, shared thanks!
Simplified: buy side = investors, sell side = banks.
I’d seen Peter Schiff’s occupy video before, but never his JRE appearance. “The money is better in the hands of the businessman who earned it by providing a product/service than the bureaucrat who regulates them.”
Gcc to obviously compile .c (source files) to .o (object files) the linker to create executables (by combining object and program files).
Bought a present for next Sunday, Mother’s day.
Lifelock guy with his name face and social security number, never forget!
Petaflop club. The only languages with this speed are : c, c++, fortran, julia.
Julia continues to impress as a potential python replacement.
Remember that you can involve all departments in a hackathon, not just software. HR, marketing, finance, everything.
Pettifogging – obscuring an issue by focusing on the petty details instead of the larger point.
Zoom with family.
Westworld season finale. Meh. Rick and morty is back though!
Bought a $100 standing mat for comfort when on my feet all day. Back is still kicking with sciatica/piriformis/disc/whatever, so I’ll continue standing for a while. Tough to quarantine and stay focused with work all day while uncomfortable :/
Bought the foot massager and ember mug as well.
Uber and Lyft laying off around ~20% each.
Talked with Levi!
Python 3.9 coming out beta soon.
Did a little refreshing on typescript.
Karate means empty hand. Karaoke means empty orchestra.
Auto insurance.
I called AAA over a week ago and left a message to cancel my socal auto insurance, and I filed a ticket on monday with email support to do the same, and I haven’t heard back from neither.
Called again later, got transferred 6 (six!) times, but was able to cancel the socal auto insurance policy finally. They’re going to prorate a return here as well, since I had paid the full year through June.
They also said that I’ll get a check for an unknown amount for coronavirus relief.
Watched remakes of friday the 13th and nightmare on elm street. A lot of horror movies rely on darkness too much.
The bottom of the bear valleys almost always coincide with the peak of the jobless claims. Unemployment now at 30m.
Elon tweeted that tsla’s share price is too high. Here we go again!
