• Thursday

    • Another brain chapter in Behave.
      • Hypothalamus controls the autonomic nervous system, the limbic system. Our behavioral and emotional responses. Sympathetic nervous system usually epinephrine and parasympathetic usually acetylcholine.
      • The cortex does all our analysis. Frontal/parietal/temporal/occipital lobes. “The frontal cortex makes you do the harder thing when it’s the right thing to do.” Isn’t fully developed until midtwenties, wow.
      • Amygdala controls aggression. And fear and anxiety.
      • Dopamine, the reward system. But note that dopamine spikes at the ANTICIPATION of the reward equal or higher than the rewarding itself.
    • Broadway week next week, buy 1 ticket get 1 free. I’ve seen a handful on the list already but the remainders I’m most interested in: Hadestown, Wicked, MJ.
      • Ended up getting Hadestown.
    • Robinhood now offers IRAs lol. And they match 1%.
    • As of right now, there are 57 valid aws access keys in packages on pypi: https://tomforb.es/i-scanned-every-package-on-pypi-and-found-57-live-aws-keys/
    • Gaia (mother earth, Terra, Earth) was the first. Bore everything. Her son Caelus (sky/heavens, Uranus) was her main partner and they had the titans, 6 male and 6 female. Primary couple was Cronus (father time, Saturn) and Rhea. The only other titan you probably know is Hyperion, who fathered Helios (both representing Sun). Cronus and Rhea had the first 6 of 12 olympians: Zeus (thunder, Jupiter), Hades (underworld, technically not an olympian, Pluto), Poseidon (sea, Neptune), Hestia, Demeter, Hera. Zeus and Hera then had the other olympians: Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares (Mars), Aphrodite (Venus), Hermes (Mercury), Hephaestus.
    • CPI dropped 0.1% in december. Inflation slowed a little bit.
    • Tons of private work.
    • SBSC.
      • Will do the league stuff (diff league per season to retain paid player specificity, user-created leagues, etc) when I convert the full app to ts/react (or maybe just the frontend). It will be a SPA with proper filter components, rather than hardcoded url subroutes.
      • Changed the home route to the lb (instead of current-week-matchups).
      • Updated the rules text for graceful handling of daylight savings.
      • Updated the banner with the winner.
      • The leaderboard issue, which I thought was going to be a quick fix, was not. The app believed it was week 1 of the 2022 season, and tried to pull lines/scores, etc. I don’t really know what happened, but the week18 data is gone. I’ll have to manually add some back. And the preseason/postseason checking logic needs to be rewritten. And airtight. If you’re not in an active week, no picks/lines/scores should ever be written. Will do tomorrow.
