The upside of this is that it’s been snowing more or less nonstop for several days and keeping a relatively consistent 4-6 inches on the ground, which is enough to be pretty but not too disruptive
The temperature spread here over the last 24 hours is 25-27 F. It was only TWO DEGREES cooler at 2 am than at noon. Did someone forget to turn the sun on???

Holy shit, physicists at SLAC made a particle accelerator that fits on a computer chip https://phys.org/news/2020-01-particle-chip.html
I got off my bus and walked 15 minutes across campus (with a low blood sugar!) because I thought I left my headphones in a classroom. Get there, don’t see them, finally decide to check my computer bag again. Sure enough, there they are. I lost my (over ear) headphones in my computer bag. It has one pocket and room for like 5 notebooks. They’re the biggest thing in there. HOW

I'm playing a game of Lexicon rn and I volunteered to write a MediaWiki extension for the GM. I decided to test in a VM instead of setting up a local install. Installing VirtualBox and Vagrant and firing up the sandboxed server has been a remarkably painless process. I'm always surprised when things like this Just Work

I wanted to write a prime generator, but all the popular languages already have optimised ones I can't compete with.

Playing PvP on my ADHD meds has made me wonder if professional gaming leagues have doping regulations
Coming back after a fairly lengthy absence, it’s nice to still see a lot of old faces around. I was worried y’all would’ve all moved on already. The transience of online communities is a blessing and a curse I suppose
