"Geek became synonymous with nerd in the 1950s. Prior to this, the word referred to... a carnival performer who would bite the head off a live chicken, or other small animal, as part of an act." Hmm. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dork

Nice: closing bugs, and declaring milestones to be Done! Not so nice: making sure everything is documented.

Twice in the past week I noticed that certain electronics I was interested in are unusually more expensive in the US than in the EU. Bad #TrumpTariffs.

Feeling like this was my last ever visit to @fryselectronics. The place is empty, the shelves are bare as I’ve only seen in the old eastern bloc. It seems to are just selling off what’s still left on the shelves. So sad. It used to be such a magical place for geeks.

Added the #GlobalClimateStrike banner to my blog at https://upon2020.com/ . The site will go dark on September 20th in support of youth world-wide who have to "live" with the climate mess they did not create.

E-mail: get your wikipedia page at 70% off. Should I buy?

Cut myself instead of the veggies for the second time this week. There is a difference, Johannes, pay attention!

My approach to algorithm development: ponder #Algorithm (and data structures) until it has become simple in my mind. Do not attempt to implement anything other than play-around-prototypes before that point. Future bug fixers/extenders, me included, appreciate that.
