This way I can search through all my physical and computer activity to answer questions like: how many times did I go to the gym last year? or how many leetcode questions did I do this month?
Wrote a summary here (https://theptrk.com/2024/09/27/me-database-master-plan/)
my wife and I have a new side project: we're opening a bookshop! the last local store is closing due to retirement and we figure the community demand is still there. we're negotiating the lease, sorting out how to order a lot of bookshelves, and source the initial inventory. i'm currently figuring out how to connect our point of sale system to our accounting software. good times. :)
Awesome! Are you planning to build a bookshop or something more like a library?
I'm learning to deweed our lawn space. Its strange feel to have visual proof of what happens when you neglect your responsibilities even for a short time.
I got long covid back in 2020.... my back yard turned from a lawn into a forest... it's amazing how fast Nature takes back over. Especially when you live on a former farm.
Trying to figure out a bizarre performance drop in a merge sort I wrote for one of those daily coding problems. https://bruceediger.com/posts/mergesort-investigation-1/ It seems that adding one node to a linked list causes a repeatable performance drop. That is, linked lists of say 2^21 nodes sort faster than lists of 2^21 + 1 nodes.
Currently working on:
- Further improving the embeddable DNS widget (to help/automate users updating their DNS records) that launched last month
- Rolling out the new hybrid self hosted version that allows traffic and certs to only go through your servers, while getting the full benefit of the cloud version
- Tinkering with some AI ideas for improving the existing WAF features (tricky, but potentially powerful)
- Making Edge Sequences (pattern matching and rules applied at the edge) more flexible and powerful with more composable options and ways to match requests
Recently hit a milestone of over a million domains served!
Started my masters at Georgia Tech [1] this summer. Still in the first semester, but really enjoying so far. Just not much spare time on nights and weekends, but it helped me cut down the time spent on social/news/etc. [1] https://omscs.gatech.edu/
I'm super skeptical about online degree programs. Although it seems you're enjoying it; gl!
Having said that, like anything in life, you get what you put in. And at least in the case of GT, their online program is exactly the same they have on campus; same content, same projects, same academic rigor. The only difference is that on-campus has many more classes to choose from.
Of course YMMV. I don't really care about the degree itself; doing it for purely personal enrichment.

That sounds pretty cool! What kind of margins do book stores typically have?
