Monkinetic Weblog

in #deathmarch mode at work @ 10pm #latenightcapitalism 😭

Being the curious sort, I wondered what it would take to generate #barcodes programmatically, and found this neat site. Here's "monkinetic.blog" rendered as a Code 128 barcode:

Then I found a barcode package for #golang, so of course I'm trying to decide what on this site I could generate barcodes for...

I recently found the following in a bit of #python sample code:

python random_data = random.sample(string.hexdigits, 8)

Wait, hexdigits? I'd use string.ascii_letters and string.ascii_lowercase before, but this was the first time I'd seen hexdigits, which is exactly what you'd think:

The string '0123456789abcdefABCDEF'.

That's useful.

BIG MOOD

I'm interested in research on access to community services (food, healthcare, what else) by socio-economic status or community type (rural, sub-urban, urban, urban-low-income?). Thinking food deserts, medical deserts, this kind of thing.

@elyktrix "What's your coding folder called?"

~/projects, then directories for different areas where appropriate

@mterenzio I wonder how journalists are taught to find/curate information sources these days? There was a short window when blogging took off that News was paying attention

It seems that there is no good thing that our white capitalist society cannot turn to evil - take for example the [independent contractor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misclassification_of_employees_as_independent_contractors #work #capitalism
