How are you actually doing today?

  I feel like I’ve been internally screaming for several weeks straight.

  Wondering how long it will take for the world to start world war 3 and which fascist regime were going to be fighting.

  Been sleeping the majority of the last 36 hours in between emptying my stomach, so not too hot. I really should not go into work today but I probably will anyway.

  I currently work as a postdoc in biomedical research, so my line of work was directly in the line of fire of recent Trump administration nonsense… Not great.

  Beyond this though, I’m just impressed at how almost delusional my boss and some of my lab members has been. Lab PI/group leaders are responsible for bringing in grants, yet they don’t seem to even care about the fact that almost all grant reviews are paused (and some of their grants are due early Feb!)… Not to mention they seem almost happy about RFK and Bhattacharya; I do not approve of such behavior as a researcher… Especially since another student in the lab is fucking suffering from long COVID-induced chronic fatigue. I don’t understand how could some other ppl in the lab be so insensitive

  To be fair, I’ve been essentially “fired” from the lab anyway. Not actually fired, but was on an 1-year contract and PI refused to renew (and it’s more difficult to fire someone than not renewing contract in Illinois law anyway). Pretty shitty behavior but I guess I should have expected a newer PI to not know how to properly lead a lab… Partly due to that, I’ve started applying for jobs in Europe two months ago and have just recently started getting interviews. All of them are scheduled early morning for me, I’m not a morning person, and at least one or two have been somewhat disrespectful so… At least I’m hoping to get at least one offer I hope?

  Also am worried about selling some large possessions (furniture, hobbyist items) since I’m probably leaving the US soon. So a bit stressed recently between work and personal matters

  All in all, I’m… surprisingly calm for the amount of bullshit I need to deal with. No ideal why. Maybe it’s just the power of video games lol

  The bad thoughts have been successfully buried for now

  I had a hackday at work where I experimented a bit with python (I haven’t worked in it professionally before)… I translated a package I maintain into it and I really loathe a lot of the language’s design decisions. It’s still fun to experiment though so I had fun. On the other hand I’m planning to fly into the US next week and I’ve been semi-nervous as a skirt wearing non-conforming man… but now I’m legitimately uncertain if shit like the TSA, CBP and air travel will work with the “Hey, anyone want to resign” memo. If it wasn’t for an important family event I’d absolutely cancel my shit.

    FYI I don’t think Python is really suitable for use with a production environment. After you want to start installing other people’s modules, you’ll encounter nightmares without any good solutions, and someone will eventually be extremely unhappy that you decided to use Python (probably within 5-10 years, if not much sooner): chriswarrick.com/…/how-to-improve-python-packagin…

    In general, Python seems to be much too closely coupled to the Shell Command Language (which you should also try to use as little as possible): it seems like a lot depends on the environment, so trying to use Python after interacting with a PATH variable or changing the working directory might unexpectedly produce different results. A clear example of this is the idea of “virtual environments”, as using one essentially requires that using Python is managed using the Shell Command Language (see what I expect is the source code for the “activate” and “deactivate” utilities also). “Virtual environments” seem to be extensively used by at least Pipenv. Also, the people managing Python seem much more concerned about maintaining interoperability with C than with making packaging less terrible (this is understandable, but other languages also interact with C while having better packaging systems).

    I personally prefer to use The Go Programming Language for more things recently, since packages are very easy to publish and programs are much easier to use with minimal preparation, and I’ve had a much easier time with refactoring and testing, and the huge speed difference is helpful too. Rust also seems to have a quite robust packaging system, but it seems that there are fewer features provided with main utilities (like measuring code coverage). I recall that npm has been relatively easy to use, but nowadays I’d avoid using JavaScript unless I absolutely have to (in the same way I avoid Python or the Shell Command Language).

    Regardless of whether you’re interested in Go or Python or some other programming language, I find that it’s easier to keep up with best practices for software engineering by checking documentation for linting tools and fixer programs referenced by ALE: github.com/dense-analysis/ale/…/registry.vim github.com/dense-analysis/ale/tree/…/fixers github.com/dense-analysis/ale/tree/…/ale_linters

    These are some other sources that I found to be relevant to Python:

    • chriswarrick.com/…/python-packaging-one-year-late…
    • dublog.net/blog/so-many-python-package-managers/
    • www.stuartellis.name/…/python-modern-practices/
    • harmful.cat-v.org/software/

    I’ll say that using Python is probably better than using C or C++ (especially since it seems that there are many more published best practices regarding package management for Python than for C), but it’s probably better to choose a different memory-safe programming language if you have a choice at all.

  Pretty damn stressed but also had a more productive day at work than probably the last few weeks combined so that’s nice

  okayish. didn’t get enough sleep, because i poured me a big soft drink yesterday evening and decided to watch shows until i drank it all up, even though i slowly exceeded waaaayy past bedtime. i regret nothing!

  (Champagne problems warning) Was goddamn great until I pulled a calf muscle playing soccer tonight and now probably can’t ski on Friday and Monday, despite our mountains FINALLY getting a nice dump.

  Admittedly, my problems are nothing compared to the children who mined the cobalt for my phone but godfuckingdamnit.

  I feel fine. Sure, there’s lots of stuff to do, but it’s ok. Just one thing at a time…

  Up and down. Actually lots of things are falling into place, and a few “end points reached” are proving to be… just new starting points.

  What to say, need to get my knee in order tough. After last marathon it is still giving me issues and i am fed up to wait and want to go back running…

  I’m doing great! Thank you for asking. I recently woke up from a nap, and now I’m hungry! Though I’m not entirely sure what it is I want to eat… How are you? 😃

  Pretty good. Just testing out an obliterated version of deepseek r1. Hopefully its a drop in replacement for my current ai engine.
