The Coup – We Got the Guillotine
Saw a poster for Sorry to Bother You again and damn it’s a great movie.
Gang of Youths – The Deepest Sighs, the Frankest Shadows
The song is beautiful and warm and sad and lovely.
The video is truly a thing that couldn’t be made a few years ago but still human and tells a story.
Kikagaku Moyo – Gatherings
The name means geometric patterns and I’m loving the great psych rock.
Aesop Rock and Tobacco are Malibu Ken – Acid King
This video is pretty gross and only these artists could keep me watching.
Y La Bamba – Mujeres
Discovered this on the drive back from upstate in the Carol Water’s Music that Matters podcast. So good!
Max Cooper – Platonic
This is fascinating. From the musician’s statement on the video:
I came across this idea delivered in stark form in the case of the “amplituhedronâ€, an entity whose structure encodes fundamental particle interactions, and whose creators claim it to yield space and time in an emergent manner, so that it can’t possibly exist out there in the real world that we’re familiar with.

I’m going to ask you if you voted tomorrow.
Week 3010
Another combo because I’m late!
Here’s the The Owl from I Love You but I’ve Chosen Darkness
It’s rainy and dark and suddenly fall.
More riding in the rain. Had to skip a day because I felt horrrrrible after the happy hour Wednesday night.
Sleeping poorly is the rule in our house as we struggle to figure out how to get Max Lazer and Queen Z to bed in the same room at a reasonable hour. It takes forever. We think some of Max’s trouble in kindergarten is that he just can’t get good sleep at home anymore. So he goes in tired and can’t be his best.
I’ve got my visa for the Hyderabad Trip coming up and while I’m excited to go visit India I think my first trip will be almost entirely business – there’s a DR test that weekend so I’ll probably spend the whole trip in just the one city.
Going to our building’s yearly meeting for the first time in a while as NOT a board member. WOO!
Got to work on competitor pricing and take friends out to lunch to discuss. Also got to spend time with our R&D project plans for 2019.
Delta Spirit – From Now On
Week 3008
Welp, I’m getting this in a bit late, so I’ll also put in some Music Monday.
But since the world is a pit, you get Cotton Eye Joe Gregorian Chant Nightcore Hardcore Dubstep remix. Do better this week, world! The Senate confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh were a reminder of how little women’s pain matters. The guy is also clearly lying.
Code
My team won one of the 2nd place slots in the Hackathon as “Most Complete Hack”! We are talking about bringing it through to complete prod deployment.
Read up on Conflict Free Replicated Data Types which are a really interesting way to do mergable data structures. Underlies lots of interesting stuff like Redis.
Experimented with Mozilla’s Configman – the docs are NOT good enough, because they actually have a great drop in replacement for the standard ArgumentParser in there.
Bike
Got in all but 1 day last week. Rode in the rain 2 days! The first convinced me that I need to either own rainproof pants or just plan on riding in shorts in the rain. I bought a pair of Showers Pass transit pants and they worked great on Friday. Also got to randomly ride in with my buddy Lance again and reminded how nice that is.
Family
Zeebus is really smart and understands a lot of what we say! She picks things up and puts them where you ask, she understands that we need sleep, she’s got a lot going on upstairs.
She puts on Max’s bike helmet to let us know she wants to go riding!
When she slapped Sam hard in the face she realized she had hurt her- then Z gave her a big hug and patted her. That’s what Max does when he plays too rough with her!
Max and I did a really good hike together. We went a little crazy and climbed up next to a little waterfall and did some semi-safe bouldering nearby. Max and I actually climbed way up a small cliff and got to the top. We also found a cool Puffball mushroom. But we didn’t eat it because we didn’t know how to tell if it was poisonous or not. (now we know and we’ll eat it next time!)
