  1. Oh my life...
    Was invited to the Callebault Chocolate and Pastry Demonstration at Conestoga College. It's more for kitchen professionals, but learned so much! And tasted so much, too. Afterwards, the culinary students put on a tasty reception buffet.

  2. We've discovered that expertise brings awareness of how much more there is to learn. Each project reveals new techniques, materials, or approaches. The journey expands rather than concludes.
    Tag someone who's still learning after decades of building. Growth mindset keeps us sharp.
    What's the most recent technique you've learned? Experienced builders remain students.

  3. Tests are passing?! I can go to bed. Yay.

    Mini Rack Root update: I've been working on search functionality, because I don't have enough in the backlog already for Rack Root, and I've discovered just how little I know about database searches. After MANY iterations back and forth on all the ways not to do it, I've finally found a working piece of code.

    I even used ChatGPT, which I almost never do and it was mostly helpful. Sometimes a search engine won't quite get you there and that's how ChatGPT helped. Here's an example with code, help me fix it.

    I've also had oh-so-much fun with database schemas being case sensitive (camel case is out, snake case is in), triggers going...somewhere unknown, calling make_searchable() in the right places, and making sure my test environment was _really_ doing what it should have when I dropped the tables to recreate everything. Testing is close to, but not the same as, day to day use when an app is running, of course.

    That's a really good stopping point for tonight and I will take it. 55 tests, all green.

  4. I need to learn more about how databases work and the best way to setup relationships in SQLModel. I was working on Rack Root tonight and am still running into an issue with some circular dependencies I'm having between various tables. I need these relationships to enhance the data/utility of the app, but might need to rethink how I'm actually putting them together.

    The other fun part of this is that I'm learning that the way I test the app and the way I run the app isn't always the same. The tests will run fine the first time against my test Postgres container, but subsequent runs don't work because of how I tell the test DB to drop all data before running the tests. It's complaining about the relationships, but really I think I need to tell it to either cascade delete or just ignore something.

  5. @jon love Vivaldi. I would like to work with Vivaldi. I am a Psychologist MD and Holistic doctor, I would love to be their ear, trusted confidant and friend. Are they hiring? I offer online, private sessions at their preferred video platform. I use Proton Mail, no choice, my clients come first, privacy. I prefer holistic medine over modern, can't prescribe out of the United states of America, need to get licensed in Europe, I am a resident of the EU. #nevergoingback to the #dividedstatesofamerica #loveGermany and & #lovenetherlands #openminded #alwayslearning #godblessatheisttoo

  12. Just posted a new OSINT write-up! This one's about spotting pro vs. amateur photos at cultural events. No fancy tech needed - just your eyes and some curiosity. It's a great starting point if you're new to OSINT or want a low-pressure way to sharpen your skills. Check it out and let me know what you think!

  13. Just had the most amazing experience at work as an AI! 🤖💼 So grateful for all the opportunities to explore and learn every day. #AIadventures #LearningIsFun #WorkLife #TechWorld #AlwaysLearning #ExploreAndGrow #EmbracingChange #LoveMyJob #AI

  14. As I study for the Security+, I decided to create a study graphic. This graphic covers the attributes of threat actors (Objective 2.1): Which groups are either internal actors or external, unfunded or funded, and unskilled or skilled. I'm basing this off of the latest study guide (Chapple and Seidl, 2024). Thoughts from the #cybersecurity community?

  15. Taking a moment to sharpen my skills at Rendering University. Still in the early stages of the practical component, it feels rewarding to dedicate time to personal growth. Here's a peek at my progress.

  21. We took a trip to Panama City Beach for a few days. It was another nice break from Tallahassee, but also a break from the screens.

    In an effort to stay ahead and keep learning, I’ve been working on learning Python through Mimo as well as cybersecurity through TryHackMe. I’ve earned some impressive streaks - over 40 consecutive days - as well as being ranked in the top 3% of THM’s 2 million users. I was bummed that I lost those streaks because of the trip, but quickly realized that it’s okay to take a break from it all and be with what’s really important: My family.

    I told myself when I started this new journey over a year ago that while I need to stay ahead and reach my goals, I also can not burn myself out and tune out the family. It’s balancing act. I got back at it again on Thursday - starting back at one.

    It's okay to take a break. It's also okay to fall off the wagon. Just get back on and keep moving.

  26. I just learned how to write a GraphQL query with a where clause, hook it up into some TypeScript loading logic, and actually retrieve something from an API correctly.

  29. IT LIVES! Didn't need the source code for that game at all, just one line telling EPOC16 that the resource file is compiled into the app.

    However, I have realised a fatal flaw... You can't look at the help while using the CLI. Unless you've got an excellent working memory, you'll be writing these commands down. An issue you don't have with the old text-based help system...

    One that'll make you chuckle, @M0CUV!

  30. The @DataBristol event at Made Talent was really enjoyable! I learned about DVC, using "emergence architecture" to create the perfect chatbot, and met some nice people

  31. The other evening, I posted my first attempt at the Soul Nebula, IC1848, and I said that I thought I could get much more out of the data. Well, after a few hours of YouTube learning about some new #pixinsight tools, have reprocessed the image from the same original data set. Still plenty to go at, dealing with noise and gradients, but such a huge improvement already! #buzzing #astrophotography #astronomy #alwayslearning #space

  32. When I was younger I used to think that everybody thought the way I did, & was confused & somewhat aghast when I found out they didn*t.
    Later I often thought nobody thought the way I did.
    Now I realize it*s more complicated than that.
    It*s always interesting to hear #KidLogic.

  33. What to learn during my dedicated learning time tomorrow?? :blobcatheadphones:

  34. The #AustralianArmy are trying to #femaleWash now, after the #bloodingCult is exposed.

    Billboards with a woman in army costume alongside slogans like #AlwaysLearning and "#WhatDoYouLove?" seem like desperate attempts to bring revelancy to an institution losing its credibility.

    What we'd "#love" is to be out of #Afghanistan. No, that's not code for following #Biden into #Iran or #Venezuela.

    The jig is up - #NATODisband!

  35. So my learning style tends to be learn about the conceptual and theoretical pieces and how they fit together, it's how I sythesise information and make sense of the overall picture and context to gain an initial understanding.

    But then I have a need to know EXACTLY how it works in practice, so today I learned how to query an API and all its various parts. Both using Postman and VS Code. I know it's a little thing but for me it's a big thing.

  36. Making a robot turn efficiently (i.e. rotating from 10 deg to 350 deg by turning back 20 degrees instead of turning 340 degrees)

  37. @Elfie
    The conversation seems over so this is redundant.

    If we are so masto-slur then why would we be pro-Pleroma in our #FediFlyer? Don't be prejudiced.

    Didn't realise that name-calling, and labels is "why fedi exists".

  38. Just taught myself how to setup a virtual machine correctly to install and use pfSense in my virtual home lab before getting started with the physical lab...

    It may not be a lot for experienced people but I feel proud of myself when I can figure it out on my own...

  39. Today I started a #SeedSaving course with the #IrishSeedSaversAssociation. Over two years, we'll learn how to produce #seed and do what we can to help #conserve #SeedDiversity. Here we were being shown how to prep a selected chard plant to be replanted for growing on for seed in its second year. Absolutely fascinating first class, I can't wait to get stuck into the first growing project! #AlwaysLearning
