• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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;
}

• Private work.
• Registered for Burning Man.
• Love Canty (2135) on the CCT webcast.
• Aquarium maintenance. Replaced reagent also.
• Went to the original (first!) shake shack in madison square garden with Ashley, great out of town surprise.
• Bought some weldon and goop, sealants for my leaking sump. Also new supply of trident reagents and liquagen rodi filters.

• WeWork midtown with Harner/Hannah for the day.
• Got full dev env up to date on laptop. Prefer wsl2 over macbook.
• Private work.
• I have the $300 EC2 reserved instance for 3 years, so no monthly costs for that. The “ec2-other” costs that I see every month (a little under $3) are for storage! EBS, filter by ec2-other and group by usage-type to see in cost explorer.
• Ordered the standing wiper tshirts … 10 years later!
• Cloudwatch free tier for logs = 5GB ingestion / month.

• SBSC.
• Finally shipped the generated cols + stats/results rewrite. Net change was about -3k lines. Crazy. https://gitlab.com/bmahlstedt/supercontest/-/issues/174.
• Started the managed DB change.
• Compared RDS to Aurora. Went with aurora. Fully cloud native. Serverless, scalable, better perf, all the above. Backups, blue/green, etc. No RDS proxy or elasticache yet.
• Looked through cognito, native features, and some third-party flask integrations. Cognito will be able to do everything I need for my app (decorators, custom templates, access mgmt, current_user obj, more), better than flask-user (yanked) and others. flask-awscognito and flask-jwt-extended both help.
