Totally disastrous game last night. Relied on a blocker to get down to my last two colours after a good bit of to and fro. Tried to go cushion first for position, but completely missed not only the pot, but the whole ball, for a foul. Amazingly got another chance, and played a terrific […]

I'm not sure, but the code might do something with UUIDs.

#programming #golang #uuid

A screenshot from an IDE with the following code:

func Uuid(uuid uuid.UUID) UUID {
return UUID{UUID: uuid}
}

Stayed really strongly with a four or five ball break after he broke dry. Left a blocker, and a long safety battle ensued. In the end, he took a weird swing and ended up with a fluked snooker. Never recovered, but it was a good frame.

WWLLL

Finally saw Oppenheimer, admittedly in suboptimal conditions: phone, single headphone, two sittings. It's certainly gripping, but seems by a distance Nolan's most mainstream film. Didn't love the use of the female characters, and the startling scene involving Pugh during the security clearance […]

Played really well last night, but was repeatedly snookered on my last colour. He finally left me the thinnest of edges to cut along the cushion, but I didn't make it. I recovered the bag, but he put one of his colours right on top of it, leaving me with an impossible snooker. I nearly got out […]

I see Ruby is having its big WordPress masks-off moment.

It’s almost like we have system governance problems in software. 🤔

Finally saw Sing Street, and it is completely charming. Yet another in the growing canon of portrayals of childhood, if not quite up there with Shoplifters, Tomboy, and Son of Rambow. But the portrayal of the stalled Gen X older brother struck a huge personal chord with me, and then the message […]

Zootopia/Zootropolis packs a little more punch than many animations pitched at children. Many such films deliver some tough messages - Frozen's "If only there was someone who loved you" still turns my blood cold - but the whole of the film is entirely about discrimination. The desk chair being […]
