I’ve just been told that as part of heightened social distancing measures in Tokyo, I’m not to come into the office until at least the beginning of May. Previously I was coming in every Friday.

New You Look Nice Today episode O_O
I’m sure you can get used to it like anything else but Ruby’s new pattern matching syntax feels backward to me. Rather than in, I would have preferred another keyword like with or match (or if if they didn’t want to add a new one).
Growing up in Australia in the late 90s, I feel pretty knowledgeable about most American alternative music. The one glaring exception is Neutral Milk Hotel. It seems a constant presence on the playlists of streaming services and yet I have absolutely no recollection of it all.
Kids are amazingly adaptive. I still can’t get over the fact Thomas is the voice of Foz from Go Jetters.
It took five years but my work finally installed Chrome on our machines. We have to run it in a virtual machine (this despite the fact our session is itself in a virtual machine) but it is nevertheless one of the happiest days of my life.
Bill Simmons’ solo episode of The Rewatchables for the film Castaway is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard. His style isn’t for everyone, but for those who like it, what a tour de force.
Certain things about Discord I prefer over Slack. The way iOS notifications are broken and don’t update regardless of whether you’ve interacted with the channel a notification is from is not one of them.
Perhaps this is more about the circles I travel in, but @tomstuart mentioning Apple Arcade is the first time I can recall anyone talking about it in months.
I assume this is something to do with my ISP but for the past couple of months, I’ve had issues where HTTP requests simply don’t work and will time out. Making the request again will almost certainly ‘fix’ the problem.
Just created my first Alexa skill! Made it using the Amazon flash briefing blueprint.
I’ve got the Go Jetters theme song stuck in my head.
A crazy amount of snow falling in Tokyo right now.
It’s 2.30 am and I’m watching videos for the Law Society of NSW’s mandatory continuing professional development requirements #winning
I’m grateful for the opportunity to watch my kids play. It is interesting watching them sometimes decide to talk in Japanese and sometimes decide to talk in English.
There was a refurbished 2018 Mac Mini on Apple’s site for ¥60,000. I was torn about whether to get it (I bought a second-hand 2011 model for ¥30,000 earlier this year) but the decision was made for me: it was gone within 10 minutes.
I like the GIF search in Gboard but I wish you could make that view of the keyboard the default. Image search is all I want to use that keyboard for.
This idea isn’t fully-formed but I realised last night that I watch videos about music (by teachers and critics) in something akin to the way normal people watch cooking shows. I’ve never understood the appeal of cooking shows. But this helps me get close.
