Hi! I still exist (just mostly not here). To answer some questions I've gotten:
1. yes, I still do coffee chats,
2. yes, I still recommend 100Devs and company sponsored bootcamps to help get you into tech, and
3. if you have a US library card, go to https://t.co/tFHQJkFxdA
Is there a way to tell @X that I don't want personal posts from people I do not follow about rapes, murders, and deaths to be given to me in my notifications tab? It's very disconcerting.
I just served on the Selection Committee to choose an installer for the @SolarNeighbors 2024 El Paso Solar Co-op, and I'm happy to say we had enough great bids that it was a tough choice!
#ElPaso folks, you can still join the co-op (no obligation!) through the end of the month.
Our windows arenโt that soundproof, so I can hear fireworks and dogs barking when the songs switch - and I think my dogs just think thatโs part of my obnoxious musical offensive at this point???
Have dogs that hate fireworks?
Me too!
Iโm trying absolutely blasting dance music at them to drown out the noise - not my normal go-to. And itโs a miracle! Theyโve only freaked out *once* in the last two hours of it (weโre at 8:40 here).
Highly recommend! ๐
#AdventOfCode update:
23 stars in! I feel like my theory is fairly solid for both Day 5 Part 2 and Day 10 Part 1, but I'm doing something wrong and I refuse to look up the solutions ๐
Highly recommend the challenge if you haven't joined yet - it's fun!
#AdventOfCode Day 14:
Refactored a few times until what I needed to do to get part 2 to run quickly became clear... but it was very satisfying once I figured it out๐ก
I have a number of Homebrew installs, but I'm looking at installing Anaconda for the install/management of Jupyter and a few other data science-y things. I've heard they don't always play nicely.
Is this a good idea, a neutral idea, or am I about to start a cascade of doom? ๐ค
On the plus side, I decided to make folders for my repo and once again felt like a CLI wizard by making all of them at once with
$ mkdir Day_{01..25}
Magic! ๐ช
