I lost another spider
In the afternoon I checked the enclosure of the Psalmopoeus
cambridgei that I keep. I hadn't seen the sling for a week or two. I
checked the pieces of cork until I found what looked like a molt or a
dead spider; it was somewhat decayed. Upon further examination of the
enclosure I concluded that it what I had found was the dead body of
the little tarantula and not a molt. 😢
Earlier, the 13th of August
2020 I lost both a
scorpion and a tarantula. Back then it probably had to do with the
high temperature of the room; over 30°C (86°F).
awk: `BEGIN { ...`
The other day, I was watching Bryan Cantrill’s 2018 talk, Rust, and
Other Interesting
Things, and he made an
offhanded comment while discussing values of different programming
languages and communities. He said, “If you get the awk programming
language
manual…you’ll
read it in about two hours and then you’re done. That’s it. You know
all of awk.”
Only two hours to learn an entire language?! …. Challenge accepted!

I detest the Python static-typing annotation schemes
Basically. I don’t hate Python type annotations, per se — there is
nothing wrong with thing: int = 0 in my eyes. But those same eyes do
bleed a little whenever I have to look through any given morass of
verbose flotsam of the sort the typing module encourages people to
write.
