13:36: Use what you already have: Signing arbitrary data with SSH keys

12:56: When you need to sort a list by a specific key in each list-item’s object, you use a lambda function to drill down to your key.¹

example = [
	("event": "A walk in the woods", "date": datetime_object_1),
	("event": "Grocery Shopping", "date": datetime_object_2),
	("event": "Movie Night")
]

example.sort(key=lambda example: example["date"])

14:09: Some choice quotes from ADHD 2.0¹:

On conforming to social norms & standards:

We don’t choose not to conform. We don’t even notice what the standard we’re not conforming to is! – Chapter 1

On cerebellar fitness:

Basically, it’s been shown that you can take your cerebellum to the cerebellar gym and beef it up. – Chapter 3

21:55: For when you develop a Python script on one machine, then place it for running on another, but you didn’t generate a requirements.txt file - pipreqs¹ will interrogate the import statements in all python files in the directory you specify and generate a requirements.txt file based on those import statements. Then you can pip install -r requirements.txt to make sure all your script’s requirements are met. Boom.

10:30: I’m always needing and never remembering that dict(zip(keys, values)) is a thing. Dict keys in keys, dict values in values, and boom! now both are combined as a single dictionary. Note that keys and values must be equal in length.

14:47: tired: “I should do [thing].” wired: “If I do [thing], then [other positive thing]”. The first weighs the task down with a moral obligation. The second focuses on the positive benefit or outcome.¹

17:24: Why was the dwarf in Dwarf Fortress in a perpetual state of “Attending Meeting”? Because the meeting was with the Mayor and the Mayor’s office didn’t have a chair, so the Mayor wasn’t taking the meeting.

11:26: Use ImageMagick to prepare an image via cli for use on an e-paper or e-ink display.

For drawing without using prepared images on the Adafruit grayscale EPD, your 4 values are: #FFFFFF, #B1AFAD, #70696B, #000000.

10:46: I needed to insert only the day of the month in two spots and wasn’t grokking the numerical order significance of golang’s date layout constant. The tl;dr is: use ‘2’, ‘02’, or ‘_2’, as the date constant’s day of month is in the second position. NB: the third position is the hour; you’d use ‘15’ for 24h time and ‘3’ or ‘03’ for 12h time (paired with “PM” or “AM” where you want that inserted).

21:30: I need to spend some quality time playing around with CSS’s built-in grid¹, in particular - with minmax and fraction sizing.
