If you interview 1,000 software developers at random (which is probably about the number I have), you discover that maybe 100 of them are competent, and maybe 10 are actually great.

The 100 who are competent tend to know they're not great, and the 10 who are great often believe they're one of the 100, and the remaining 900 often believe they're one of the 10.

Anyway, that's LinkedIn explained.

Milwaukee Code & Brews meetup at the Explorium Brewpub in , where I learned that your Python class better implement hash() if you want to use it as a dictionary key.

Amateur hour here today. Realized I hadn't put the python code for my widget that sends a report to client on the other machine I plan to migrate. Opened script and found it would not run. Looked at logs and found it hasn't run in two weeks. Error message indicates SQL server permission problem. Logged into server manually with those credentials and it's fine. I realized I changed some stored procedures and maybe that user has permissions messed up. Nope, sp run fine. 1/2

@historyofpunkrock That album made me crazy when it came out. My favorite is Black and White ("The enemy has cut down all the power / London south of the Thames is invaded").

I'm planning my vacation. How bad do you think will be during the political convention? Should I extend my vacation to be gone during that as well as Harley and the air show?

Two quite different palettes used to render a geoPaint image: which do you prefer?

Bit of a jump from the last one but the last 5 were either black or white or just a bit meh.

Cool maps in the thread. Give me a follow I post front covers of Dungeon magazine (chronologically) every week.

It amazes me that Sarek was fluent in 17 programming languages... and I don't even want to think about what Vulcan programming languages are like.

I've added color palette selection to the geoPaint preview feature of my DiskWrangler. Only two for now, but adding more is trivial now that I've added the support. #Commodore64 #GEOS
