1. Got ranked choice voting for local elections.
2. Alumni are showing up on Mastodon.
3. Threw together my tail recursion assignment.

When people find out I'm a lousy electrician, they're usually shocked.

@ericmann If you're in Oregon, it looks like the slavery ban passed handily. The health care measure is behind but still too close to call.

Keeping my tradition of painting octopuses on the bottoms of tables in hotel rooms alive 😀

Hi, my name is Rodney Smith, and this is the Watch It Played Mastodon account! For some reason, I always mistype it as Mastadon by default, so that's going to be a fun thing to unlearn.

The bird site was the main social media platform I used. Keen to explore an alternative and find some of my friends from there over here - and make some new ones!

Local election win: we're going to have in elections in !

Too bad it wasn't already in place statewide. The governor's race is a nail-biter, and we'll never know the second choices of the 8%+ of people who voted for the unaffiliated candidate.

Things look bad for Jamie McLeod-Skinner for US House District 5, but there are still plenty of votes left to count.

You all are smart and interesting, so I'd love to hear some #book recommendations! Here are some of my favorites that I've read in the last year or so.

It depends on KataGo not even looking ahead two moves to the reply to its pass. It almost seems like a rules dispute, where KataGo is assuming (as is the case in normal human games) that dead stones will be removed at the end of the game. If the adversary is claiming those lone black stones are alive, some sort of dispute resolution system should kick in.

I'm using Google (cloud-hosted notebooks) in my first-year seminar where students are learning .

A couple of them are reporting that their work is not being saved and they have to redo it. I can't tell what happened because, of course, I don't find out until after the fact. Frustrating for me and, I'm sure, much moreso for them.

1. Epic crepuscular rays on the way in to work.
2. Honey Dijon Kettle Chips.
3. FINALLY got to burn the new Fire Arts members.

We're working on another publication soon. The code is undergoing revision, but I hope to be able to share a repo in the coming months.
