New instance, new #introduction
I'm a former academic (philosophy) and currently a stay at home dad. I'm a self taught programmer and data nerd. Interested in history, science, maths. Most of my posts will be about gardening, dumb jokes, indie video games, science fiction, programming languages, philosophy and parenting. Also I will regularly make fun of crypto.
How UK public spending works / metaphorical political joke
"The cost of repairing the roof while the sun is shining is excessive. We should pay a private contractor to dismantle the roof, sell off the constituent parts, then erect a tarpoline sheet. That will create jobs and boost the economy" 👍
*people complain about the leaky tarp & noise it makes when it's windy* 🌧️
*a storm happens that demonstrates how inadequate a tarp is* 🌪️
"That private contractor was reckless & irresponsible! Clearly the only solution to this problem is to make them build a proper roof now with borrowed money and then bill us twice the cost of doing that over several years" 🤑
"Why are they taking so long to build a new roof? Surely it has nothing to do with neighbours objecting to the noise required to build it or the colour of the slates." 🤔
"Now the storm has passed we're cancelling the new roof as it no longer delivers value for money. We will dismantle it and use the proceeds to buy a new tarp". 👍
Wrote about passwords. Or, not really about passwords but about a method to generate them. https://www.scmb.xyz/post/diy-password-manager/
