Tucker muss in seinem Leben vor uns mit Fliegenklatschen gemaßregelt/geschlagen worden sein. Es reicht schon, dass wir eine in die Hand nehmen, und er kriegt panische Angst und duckt sich weg.
aber auch mal was Gutes: Ein*e Vorbesitzer*in hat ihm beigebracht, dass er bei Pfiffen zu einem kommt.

I dreamed that my “family” (the only IRL family member was my prankster brother) tucked an AI-driven robot cat next to me as I slept. When I woke up and found it stretching and purring next to me, I was appalled. The rest of the dream was me trying to explain to well-meaning people that this was *not OK*—that a person who loved cats would always be especially creeped out by a fake one. Here's Marcel on a clawed-up sheet. #CatsOfMastodon #AI

Bellingen's main street was blocked by forest defenders
"The group remained on the road and demanded that the logging truck stop. Protesters sat down and laid underneath the vehicle."
"Members of the group shouted out to onlookers about logging industry profits and alleged corruption exacerbating climate change and the extinction of endangered native species."
“Forests are falling on Gumbaynggirr Country with zero consent and consultation with Gumbaynggirr Elders."
“Colonial extraction is driving extinction and climate collapse. There is no other option than to disrupt it.” >>

#WordWeavers Oct 18: Share a line from your WIP where a character is lying. Do they get away with it?
“No —what? Where did you here there was no recipe at Dame Trott’s cottage?”
“I, uh, I, my master.” He paused. “Someone must have told my master. Yes, someone . . . did tell him.”
[Technically Tommy Tucker did not lie to Jill. But he didn't tell all. And Jill saw right through it.]

The Quest Begins (The “Why”)
I still remember the first time I opened LeetCode and felt like I’d stepped into the Upside Down from Stranger Things—every problem looked like a monster lurking in the dark, and I had no idea which weapon to grab. I’d spend hours staring at a prompt, scribbling a brute‑force solution, then immediately giving up when I saw the optimal answer tucked away in the discussion tab. It felt like I was running on a treadmill: lots of effort, zero progress.The turning point came after a mock interview with a friend who worked at Google. He didn’t care about my code; he cared about how I thought. When I stumbled, he asked, “Can you walk me through your plan before you write a single line?” I froze. I realized I’d been treating interview prep like a memorization marathon instead of a conversation. I needed a technique that forced me to explain my thinking, not just vomit code.
The Revelation (The Insight)
After a week of trial and error, I landed on one simple, repeatable loop that turned my preparation from a grind into a game:The Pattern‑Practice Loop
- Pick a pattern (e.g., Sliding Window, Two‑Pointers, Backtracking).
- Solve one problem using only that pattern—no peeking at solutions, no “I’ll just brute‑force first.”
- Teach the solution out loud to a rubber duck (or an imaginary interviewer) while walking through every line, explaining why each step works.
That’s it. No fancy frameworks, no endless lists of problems. By forcing myself to articulate the pattern before typing, I built a mental model that survived the pressure of a real interview.
Why does this work? Interviewers aren’t looking for a memorized answer; they want to see you recognize a familiar structure and adapt it. When you can name the pattern, you instantly know which tools to reach for—just like a Jedi knows which lightsaber form to use against a particular opponent.
Wielding the Power (Code & Examples)
Let’s make this concrete with the Sliding Window pattern, a frequent flyer in FAANG interviews.The Struggle (What NOT to do)
# ❌ Bad attempt: brute force O(n^2) without recognizing the window
def max_sum_subarray(arr, k):
max_sum = 0
for i in range(len(arr) - k + 1):
current = 0
for j in range(i, i + k):
current += arr
[j] max_sum = max(max_sum, current)
return max_sumWhat’s wrong?
- No explanation of why we’re nested looping.
- No mention of the sliding window idea; we’re just re‑summing from scratch each time.
- In an interview, you’d stare at this and think, “There’s gotta be a better way,” but you’d waste time figuring it out on the spot.
The Victory (After applying the Pattern‑Practice Loop)
First, I named the pattern: “We need a sliding window of sizekthat moves one step at a time, keeping a running sum.”Then I solved it without looking at any solution:
def max_sum_subarray(arr, k):
# 1️⃣ Initialize the sum of the first window
window_sum = sum(arr[:k])
max_sum = window_sum# 2️⃣ Slide the window: subtract the element leaving, add the one entering
for i in range(k, len(arr)):
window_sum += arr[i] - arr[i - k] # O(1) update
max_sum = max(max_sum, window_sum)return max_sum
Finally, I taught it to my rubber duck:
“We start by summing the first
kelements—that’s our initial window. As we move the window right by one, we drop the leftmost element and add the new rightmost element. Because we update the sum in constant time, the whole algorithm runs in O(n) with O(1) extra space.”
Saying that out loud forced me to verify each line: Why doeswindow_sum += arr[i] - arr[i - k]work? Because we removearr[i‑k](the element that just left) and addarr[i](the new entry). If I couldn’t explain it, I knew I hadn’t truly internalized the pattern.Common Traps to Avoid
TrapWhat it looks likeHow to dodge itPeeking at the solutionOpening the discussion tab before you’ve triedSet a timer (15 min). If you haven’t written anything, step away, then return with fresh eyes.Skipping the teach‑backWriting code, then moving onAfter each solution, spend 2 min explaining it aloud. Record yourself if you’re alone—listening back reveals gaps.Mixing patternsTrying to apply sliding window to a problem that needs two‑pointersBefore coding, ask: “Which pattern fits the constraints?” Write the pattern name as a comment.Why This New Power Matters
By the end of three months, I’d cycled through eight core patterns (sliding window, two‑pointers, binary search, backtracking, BFS/DFS, heap, trie, DP). Each week I treated the pattern like a new move in a fighting game—practicing it in isolation, then chaining it into combos (mixed‑pattern problems).The payoff?
- Interview confidence: I could glance at a problem, whisper the pattern name, and instantly know the approach.
- Reduced anxiety: No more blank‑page panic; I had a mental toolbox.
- Faster coding: With the pattern named, I wrote the correct solution on the first try 70 % of the time.
And the best part? The technique scales. Whether you’re prepping for a frontend role (think “state‑management patterns”) or a backend role (think “consistency patterns”), the same loop works: identify, solve, teach.
Your Turn – The Challenge
Pick one pattern you’ve seen but never truly mastered (e.g., Backtracking).- Grab a timer—20 minutes.
- Solve a single problem using only that pattern (no looking at solutions).
- Spend three minutes explaining your solution out loud to a rubber duck, a pet, or even your houseplant.
When you finish, drop a comment with the pattern you chose and how the teach‑back felt. I’ll read every reply and cheer you on—consider this your own training montage.

Noble Names & Wicked Hearts
“Whoever had created humanity had left in a major design flaw.
It was its tendency to bend at the knees.”
― Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay
I find it interesting that most modern portrayals of fairy tales focus on kings, knights, princesses and so forth – the privileged aristocratic classes on top of the social pyramid. Even if the protagonist of such a tale is poor, they are still secretly from privileged parents, and their story tends to be about reclaiming their “rightful” (i.e. privileged) place in society.
Or consider the so-called “Disney Princesses” – the female protagonists of most of Disney’s animated movies. Even when they are not born to privilege, they still tend to join the ruling elite via marriage.
Or contemplate our continued fascination with the remaining European monarchies. Even when there is plenty of evidence that their system at best forms people who are utterly divorced from the lives of ordinary citizens, and at worst produced people who are utterly amoral, the system is kept in place – because the media imbues them with glamour and spectacle, allowing their viewers to live vicariously though people who have been placed “above” them via a mere accident of birth.
Now let us consider how German folk tales portray the aristocracy. Yes, they also have narratives of benevolent rulers, particularly in “Sleeping Emperor” tales where some half-mythical past ruler was tucked away under a mountain somewhere and would return in the hour of “Germany’s greatest need”. However, German peasants had a lot more practical and close-up experience with nobles than a modern-day audience, and were all too conscious of the fact that too many nobles were oppressors and petty tyrants. And thus, the folk tales of German peasant storytellers reflect this.
I have shared a number of folk tales of cruel, oppressive, and villainous nobles in the past, including:
- The Devil as a Girl
- The Devil Helps the Poor Farmers
- The Emperor’s Daughter in Goslar and the Devil
- The Fire-Spraying Cherries
- The High Hunter
- The Uglei
This month, I have also translated a number of further tales of villainous nobles:
- Wrathful Nobles:
- The Devout Dogs of Magdeburg
- The Iron Collar in the Church at Walkenried
- The Preacher shot on the Pulpit
- Lustful Nobles:
- The Lord of Wewelsburg Castle
- Count Isang
- Prideful Nobles:
- The Prideful Noblewoman at Wusseken
- The Happes-Kippel
- The Knight of Unterbach Shoots a Roofer
I translate and share these tales because I fear such tales have become more topical in this day and age than I’d like. We have seen a resurgence of fascism in large parts of the world – and a core idea of fascism is that there is a “natural hierarchy” to this world. That some people are just inherently “better” and should receive all the power they want to impose their will on others who are lower in the hierarchy.
We are seeing this not just with some scions of the old aristocracy, but also with billionaires – whether they are part of the Silicon Valley technofascist set or derive their wealth from other means. The vast majority of them were born to privilege which they leveraged to become so fantastically rich, and most of them feel that they should have the freedom to impose their wills on the non-rich. When they say that “freedom is incompatible with democracy”, they only mean their freedom, and not anyone else’s. They dismiss people they don’t like as “NPCs”. And they are massive sponsors of fascist movements around the world, as well as dubious philosophies such as the “Dark Enlightenment”.
Thus, I see such tales as an antidote to such people and movements – a reminder of what happens when we “bend our knees” to people with overwhelming privilege, and submit to people who hold us in contempt, but lie to us that we will still have a more secure place in the “natural hierarchy” than the marginalized groups we are supposed to hate.
However, my time for writing and translating German folk tales is ultimately limited. Thus, I want to ask you, my dear readers, if I should make this a priority in my translation over other themes and topics of German folklore. While I do intend to publish a collection of tales featuring wicked nobles eventually anyway, there is a difference between publishing it as Book 6 in my series or as Book 26. So, what are your thoughts? How much interest would such a book be to you, and would you buy it?
And on a related note, all my folk tale collections require research to explain their context, but some require more than others. For this particular collection, I could use some good books and research material on the following topics:
- How privilege alters personal development and personality traits
- The German class system and social structure, from the Middle Ages to the end of the Second Empire – and how it influenced German politics and society even after it was formally dissolved with the Weimar Republic
- Books on the portrayal of monarchy and aristocracy in modern media, from the 19th century to the modern day
Can anyone recommend any books on these topics?

#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
In an art gallery, a school group (8?) is engaged in gloriously controlled mayhem.
Exploring the artwork while:
laying on their backs,
while doing handstands,
while wrestling with each other...
Teacher chill and answering ALL the questions.A tiny human (2?) wearing a bright orange bike helmet, a dinosaur T-shirt and riding a tricycle is zooming SO FAST through a park.
Roaring with epic aplomb at the ducks who do not seem to be bothered by these raucous shenanigans.Two women (20s & 80s?) are sharing a pot of tea while engaged in a bubbly conversation.
Stopping to hold hands for a brief solemn moment before bursting into giggles and ordering more cake.A woman (70s?) wearing zebra print, leopard print and a tiara is holding court as she drinks coffee with friends. Declaring: "It's SO weird to be surrounded by old people only to realize that I'M old too!"
Her friend hoots and says: "Speak for yourself! I'm a spring chicken!"A woman (20s?) is walking through a pretty park while holding a Pyrex dish of lasagne.
Choosing a picnic table right next to a small lake.
Yes.
This will do nicely.
Tucking into lunch while a gang of snack seeking ducks begins to assemble.Any typos spotted in this post were thoroughly entertained on seeing a school group romping around an art gallery this morning. If typos spotted they'll be enjoying a pot of tea while watching an admirably persistent group of ducks questing for lasagne.
