While recording a podcast today I learned about www.oncallhealth.ai and this makes me really happy that there are things like this again!

Talked to my two 16 year old sons about the Cornell rapists today Neither of them had heard a darn thing about it. They were both horrified though. So yes, talk to your sons about it. They aren’t seeing the same algorithm that we are.

I remember in grade school in the 80s I had a baseball book called “World Series Heroes and Goats” and it was a collection of stories of players who had amazing World Series plays and also players who blew it in the Series.

Today was seven days in a row of lifting I would never do this normally (usually I’m 4 days a week) but because of some scheduling things I ended up with 5 days in a row and (perhaps foolishly) decided to make this a full week (I will be taking two rest days after today! 😂)

Aug 9: my watch said I burned 718 cal. Then 1,746. Then 1,817. Aug 10, with the day over: 1,842. Then 1,834. Then 2,319. 69% of what my pipeline has watched land changed after the day had already closed. Most time-series databases assume that never happens. dev.to/mattstratton...
