My partner's mom has socks that she controls the temperature by app, I know some freak analyst knows how hot people like their feet

Seeing Hamnet at a Regal theater. Before the movie there were three ads for concessions that were just people eating popcorn, and drinking their soda. I would love to see the analytics that shows that this effectively drives up the sales of mid movie snacks and drinks.

Found out I sleep very well to white noise but so upset that my top song this year is going to be "Clean Baby Sleep White Noise (loopable)"

Instant DePalma fan after seeing Blow Out. Dude knows how to make a great movie. Saving my first Body Double watch for a good rainy day.

Happy annual review time for all that celebrate. I pray for your self-loathing to step aside and for you to see that your work is valuable and should be compensated.

Cypress Grove Cheese

Cheese review: Cypress Grove's Midnight Moon. I've had maybe 7 different cheeses in my life. First bite was like a 2/5 and had me questioning if goat cheese was my thing. It got better as I ate it. Whole foods brown butter cookie helped the process. 3.5/5. #Chedderboxd 🧀

The Farmer Was Replaced on Steam Program and optimize a drone to automate a farm and watch it do the work for you. Collect resources to unlock better technology and become the most efficient farmer in the world. Improve your problem ...

Big recommendation for the weekend: The Farmer Was Replaced is a game where you control a drone farmer to tend crops that you control by writing code in python. I've had so much fun with this and my family is annoyed by how much I love this.

What’s in a correlation? Correlation may not imply causation, but let’s just ignore that for a second. Correlations are standardized effect size metrics and as such have some quirks by design. These are benign enough when you...

My least favorite kind of interview question is some variation of: in just one word, how do you feel? In just a sentence, what do you think about x? You aren't making a word cloud, don't restrict the response bozo.

This is cool as hell

Outer Worlds 2 is kind of a snooze for me

Drinking at the bar watching the world series and my ass is writing SQL off of imaginary tables

Is it too much to ask

SELECT artist_name, monthly listeners
FROM playlist_songs left join playlist on playlist_songs.playlist_id = playlist.playlist_id
left join songs on playlist_songs.songid= songs.songid
left join artist on song.primary_artist_id = artist.artist_id
Where playlist_owner = me
Order 2 ASC
limit 1

I get that apis exist but I just want to have a SQL interface alternate to every consumer application
