TENACIOUS D Has A Covers Album You'll Probably Never Hear
"We went into the studio and just knocked off, no exaggeration, 30."
Yesterday decided that I should probably check out #OCaml's regular expression syntax. It does make the #AdventOfCode input line parsing a lot less verbose, if more cryptic ("and now you have two problems", as the joke goes).
I really love the fact that OCaml has a toplevel REPL where you can interactively experiment (e.g. figuring out said regexes) like you do in #Python or #R. To quote the lovely first line from the relevant docs: "An OCaml toplevel is a chat between the user and OCaml".
Spent almost too much time hacking around; had to make my Saturday trail run a bit shorter than usual. Sunny but windy in the mountain. Current audiobook: "God Emperor of Dune" by Frank Herbert which I last read in high school.
Attended my bro-in-law's #SchoolOfRock band concert, an open-air show at Simonsvlei. He warned us that it was going to be "a school concert but with adults". That wasn't too inaccurate, but school concerts with adults still have craft beer in plastic cups and cheering and vibe – it was super enjoyable. BiL has become quite the drummer in just 3 years, and their cover of Muse's Resistance was the highlight.
Today I tackled some of my outstanding #AoC2023 puzzles. Had to smile when I saw Day 10, which is a twist on a classic (and favourite) maze-solving puzzle in competitive coding.
Asked the 14yo to handle the entire #braai for lunch, and he took control and eschewed advice like only a teenager who just finished their first year of high school can do. It turned out delicious.
