US Thanksgiving really is a great time to visit Paris. I have twice - 2012 and 2022. Cheeseburgers and whiskey with an ER doc and his auto mechanic pal 2011, five course cooked up/purchased in my AirBnB 2022.

These dining options look like fun too though.

Lots more to consider, like just stop using Meta but why leave if I can stay and grind its gears.

Very happy with this set of videos. Even if you don't need a beginner python tutorial you may find the presentation methods used of interest. I am able to read the code they are explaining - on my phone.

My 6yo asked me this morning:

"If 0 + 0 = 1, would 8 times 0 be 4?"

I wrote a blog post about it.

Do you take your work home with you? It's kinda hard to avoid if you are a mathematician. The maths just follows you wherever you go.

You all know that I think the world of Mr Perlstein's magisterial 4 Vol. history of American conservatism which as a whole describes, well, how America got this way. Excited to see he's making the project explicit. Here he is on the late VP Cheney:
