Hey everyone, a supernova just went off in Cassiopeia!!!! Right now it is in the early stage so only visible by telescope but after a few days it is likely to be visible to the naked eye. Supernovas are fairly rare so might want to make some time to see this one!
Threw together a second meal today, bitter-ginger farro and shrimp... Basically has farro and barly as the carb, shrimp , rainbow trout, Eel, and a little anchovy as the fish, has fresh lime, lemon rind, finely diced brussel sprouts, snow peas, ground sesame, soy, ginger, sesame oil, and sone almond oil. On top of that i threw in some jalapenos and long hots
Why is it red meats are always sold in shacks, especially ribs.. "the meat shack", "the rib shack"... but you never hear of a salad shack, or a sushi shack.. is sushi just too high class to be sold out of a shack, is a shack low class food and all meat by default low class... what is the proper shack-food relationship here!

I decided to cook more healthy stuff to try to improve my diet a bit. So I planned some healthy easy meals, in partciular basically poke bowls which is little more than some rice, a bunch of mixed asian flavors, some protein, and you go. They are often eaten cold so easy to prep it before hand. I wanted to make some sauce and one of the ingredients in umagi sauce is sake..... 3 hours later of food shopping I have now ordered 3 bottles of various types of sake and nothing else :)
It always felt wrong to start a programming language design already having a type system in mind. I couldn't put my finger on it before, but now I think I understand why.
There is well known tradeoff between exploration and exploitation when it comes to solution search.
During *exploration* you try to open undiscovered areas. Something that might not be very viable at the beginning but in the long run could lead to outstanding results. During *exploitation* you try to find best solutions in selected area, relying on already accumulated assets.
Eventually exploration and exploitation would be in conflict, since resources are limited. You can resolve this conflict differently depending on the task you're trying to accomplish.
If you want to design a PL that is more convenient for humans, starting with a type system in mind would pull you away from exploration too early. There might be a brilliant solution that is incompatible with that type system.
You can always think how to limit flexibility and reduce space for errors later.
The recent solar storm brought the aurora all the down to wisconsin, impressive. Also I highly recommend this youtube channel for solar weather, she does an amazing job.
