Stuff I did today

Submitted a question to Reddit to try to figure out how to do my pull request and did my pull request.

Went into my github account and deleted my Hello-World2 repository that I started cuz reasons and it was basically empty. (I didn't even go through the full tutorial that time.)

Instead of doing more tutorials, I'm just moving on to doing things in github. That's a better way to really learn and a more valuable use of my time.

Read Programming is hard and left a comment about it on HN. (No, I haven't (Yet?) read the other comments.)

Read Maslow's pyramid of code review. It's a short piece I found via HN (though I haven't (yet?) read the comments on HN).

Apparently my brain has spontaneously started working and I may be able to work towards learning to program now. It's wonderful to be reasonably healthy, lordy.

New Accounts

You can set up a new account to save your wardrobe but can't order anything until you get measured. Setting up a new account will prompt you to make an appointment with the nearest certified seamstress allowed to measure you. This potentially tells us where to go certify a bunch of new people. If enough people create an account in x city, we make sure to arrange a certified seamstress as soon as possible if there isn't one yet.

The Norway Problem

The Norway Problem - why StrictYAML refuses to do implicit typing and so should you Norway abbreviates as NO. This is a real word and some programs will alter that to a programming command, such as "False." A workaround in some cases is to put it in quotation marks, but you may not know that ahead of time. There are other cases like this, such as a person whose last name is Null . Found via HN . Related reading: Principle of least astonishment A textbook formulation is: "People are part of the system. The design should match the user's experience, expectations, and mental models."

Blobbing

I'm a blogger currently publishing too many blogs on blogspot and I have a stupidly large number of Reddits. Blogspot has a bunch of templates. Their four most recent ones are Contempo, Soho, Notable and Emporio. I only use those four these days because they were made available after planet Earth moved to mobile first as its standard.  Those four are mobile friendly templates. The older ones are not, so they don't play well on a phone and my internet life is 99 percent on my phone. I have a lousy never updated website and lousy never updated reddit called pocket puter because my phone is my window on the world. One part poverty, one part physical limitations from my medical situation.  I don't think I have a single blog using Contempo. I have a few using Notable and Emporio but most of my blogs are the Soho template and I've been removing the pointless decorative photo on the landing page that I used to think I needed  because my sites are pretty stripped down, bare bon...
