Amazing melody and voice. Avril has really changed her tune since her past songs. Guess her breakups really changed her. Also could have been her disease and environment that affected her recent musical style. I'll keep listening to her older songs. The album Let Go (2002) has probably the best songs, second is The Best Damn Thing (2007), third is Under My Skin (2004).

Haven't been a fan of recent songs by old bands/artists anyway. Maybe System Of A Down is an exception.

Another song I dug up from my collection. Great factual song and excellent uplifting beat.

Never will understand the case where someone doesn't take the chance at something that meets or beats. Why take the risk of shopping around for a marginally better offer?

Applies to shopping, dating and job offers.

Job Offers. Makes sense that you'd want to wait around for multiple job offers and pick the "best" one. How do you know the "best" one is what you decide to pick? Depends on how long you wanted to work there, the team you decide to pick and marginally people's experiences on a broader level. If you...

History is great to learn about. Always interested in it, so that's why ERB reasonates with me. Rap with history and popular figures?! Simply amazing.

Started making a "real time" API for my productivity software. I wanted to figure out what is a good way to notify a user's browser that something happened or new popped up so that it would update the UI appropriately. Automations occur on the backend without user input, so the UI needs to know about those updates so it can give the user the latest information.

Two ways to go about it: Websockets or Server Sent Events. I have lots of experience with Websockets. It is bi-directional and requires a little more...

Why bother with a blog. A custom one at that. More work than pen and paper. I am better off with pen and paper or use a note taking app to write shit for myself.

Then I remember, this blog is a great way to test software ideas on. Deploys from my custom deploy software have been spot on and easy. Just upgraded to Fastify v3 after making my own decorators since fastify-decorators doesn't play well with other dependency injectors. Not sure why they added their own. Seems pointless given the other ones out ther...

Beginning of back to normalcy I think. Back to writing more about Software Engineering and less about the dark road of fascist-like politics and conspiracies.

Technically the idea of decorators for node was first introduced with ES6 Decorators which took off. Not sure what happened with it though. Proposal rejected? Anyway.

The idea of decorators comes from annotations in Java where you can use reflection to get the annotation and get the associated metadata and then use that to construct what you wanted to c...

Well, on the bright side people learn who their "friends" are and who their friends actually are.

Friend is a term loosely used. Acquaintances vs casual friends vs your close friends.

Everyone is a passerby in life. Close friends come and go in much smaller quantities though.

Nuts, I blew out last month only in one week. Profitable every single day meeting or exceeding my goals for the day and the entire month. I should sit back, but why?!

This is an interesting video and idea. Touched upon some interesting questions and put some answers out there. Can't say I am satisfied by it all but hey it is a good direction. It is not like I deal with police officers, but I do think the ones in the big cities can be real douches.

I wonder if instead there were town halls where you had police officers from different areas answering questions from random audience members who are black. Yeah, intentional discrimination of question askers. Some of the...
