Mostly Software

  • Wednesday

    • 80 and sunny in nyc all day. Worked from Maggie’s backyard.
    • Updated desktop.
    • Have never had my hormones tested so requested a panel today. Pretty easy. They ship you a kit, test in the morning (>8hr fast) with finger prick, mail back, results, discuss with provider.
    • Private work.
    • My CSR has a tsa precheck app fee cover (never used).
    • Entered burning man main sale. It opened ~15s after the scheduled time. I got in line within 2 seconds of opening. The client just jquery polls the backend every ~30s for line updates. No numbers while waiting, just autotransitioned to purchase screen ~45min later. Says general tickets sold out, only vehicle passes left, but just keep spamming the purchase. People have them in carts, then expire, and they’re available again. Low chance, but keep trying. Did this for 15min until expiration. No luck.
    • Quality Meats!

  • Tuesday

    • Signed up for spring dodgeball and kickball.
    • Set up the personal garden for good morning america.
    • Lots of other gardening. You can eat the whole plant for: amaranth, fennel, lemon balm, chrysanthemum.
    • Ran ricardo for the first time in a while.
    • Little bit of private work.
    • Gemini entered the Bar Date order: https://assets.ctfassets.net/jg6lo9a2ukvr/5m9BbqoqpsTUsSFAPkPpiK/fe5bb44d0827b27b9e1d1ab7bc5cd0db/Gemini_Bar_Date_Notice.pdf. Basically just that all claims have to be filed by May 22. Then (potential) reimbursement (who knows when) after that.
    • Applied for AWS Rapid Ramp credits (300) for sbsc (not privateer).
    • Simply looking up can help combat fatigue.
    • Laundry.
    • SBSC.
    • Query editor (just query capability in the aws console) is only available for aurora serverless v1 (I’m v2).

  • Monday

    • Private work.
    • Bubbles are called badges on iphone notification settings.
    • Still pretty cool to say that I live on a cul-de-sac in manhattan.
    • No material updates for gemini earn: https://www.gemini.com/earn
    • Succession last night was huge.
    • Was able to weight train my lower body for the first time today in a couple years. Easing into it, after my longgggg back injury. Excited to add the muscle back to my legs and round out, just been lifting upper and running for a while.
    • Did a little trip planning.

  • Sunday

    • Easter.
    • World chess championship started. Draw.
    • Called a few manhattan chess clubs, no one is doing watch parties (lol).
    • Went all around tribeca, battery park, fidi. Explored, rode an aquarium-themed carousel (!), art, memorials, everything.
    • NBA reg season done, warriors kings round 1.
    • Updated apex operating system to 5.11.

  • Saturday

    • NBA odds right now (top 12) are bucks celtics suns 76ers nuggets warriors grizzlies lakers clippers cavs kings knicks.
    • Compared tailwind to bootstrap, utility-first UI kits compared to standard.
    • SBSC. RDS (aurora/postgres) has been ~$4/day, significantly more than any other services.
    • Times square, faces and names, legends, UFC 287.

  • Friday

    • Haircut.
    • Mets game (home opener) with Ashley.
    • Warriors/Kings at Plug Uglies (the new finnerty’s bay area bar) with the group.
    • Hikaru wins chessable masters over fabi, nodirbek wins DII over mvl.
    • No work today, working weekend instead.

  • Thursday

    • Equinox in the morning? First time in a couple years. Always night.
    • Rode the ducati to Soho Diner in the workday morning for bfast which was nice – need to hit more diners in manhattan. Caught up with Scott.
    • Private work.
    • Spotify and vscode desktop version upgrades.
    • Signed the extra resident parking spot for Mike. Check on bill in a bit. Made task on cal.
    • Caught up with Teague for the first time in a while.
    • You can pass the proper RDS/Aurora endpoint for the postgres instance to psql to connect directly, as if local.
    • SBSC. Did some optimization with flask-debugtoolbar and flask-caching.\
    • map_picks is the longest part of the results views. That call alone takes about a quarter of a second. Iterates over all picks.
    • Routes, templates, flask.g, and profiler all work fine – the sqlalchemy tab shows 0 queries (which is wrong).
    • Could parallelize a lot further. Plots could all be built in separate threads, being passed a serialized query result set. Same for results
    • Flask-debugtoolbar has a bug and doesn’t scroll. https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/6995. Just add a new style rule: 
    #flDebug, #flDebug * {
overflow-y: auto;
}
