Here's a little bit of maybe helpful maths/code for you. I need a human usable identifier system useful for entry into IOT devices like a camera in lower case to make entry easier. We all know flight reservations numbers. If you use the alphabet and numeric values, any case, you have 26+10=36 characters. This gives you a number base of 36 and so a 6 character code means you have a space of 36^6=2.1bn values or a 1/2.1bn clash risk; acceptable. Using big integer modulo math, you can take a random block hash as bits for a big int and covert it to a 6 digit code. The long integer value I call an ikey (id key), and the base 36 encoded text I call in itag (identifier tag). They can be swapped back and forth for integer indexing and string entry/readout.

I do love my 4 letter coding convention... I believe it is surprisingly clear once you see it. I only do this for infra/systems level programming. I use business terms for business objects which are in the view, task and data domain.

Mr Puss thought he’d sit up in the fruit bowl and stare out the visiting Mr Hugo.

Mr Hugo was pleased to be back to his morning cafe routine after a long road trip with me.

What I like about “Alone” is that often times the people who leave for whatever their right reason is are just a much a winner as the final winner.

“Edge lord” is such a good way to describe the people who bully their way into social media discourse.

What’s really cool about Waze too is that it was made and optimised to UK traffic on little streets with constantly changing traffic conditions. So it has genuine better utility than other big tech map apps. Also google office was/is developed in Australia and also kept its independence from the head office drones. Better is the best power of all.

Goodness me! Mr Hugo has way more charm than I have. Here’s some more of my wonderful mate.

This was such a good question. It really got my mental gears grinding hard as I thought about it.

Thanks. He’s also the most talkative dog. Never a dull moment. Never wondering want he wants, but always knowing he’s there for me.

Today I cooked but forgot to take a photo. So here’s Mr Hugo instead - my constant companion and sparring partner over who gets to be boss, and most praised dog in the park as best behaved mob boss.

I’ve loved Marvel all the way. But red white and blue American exceptionalism rings hollow right now. Not even America seems to want it. Daredevil born again is more the vibe (great I hear from you!)

Counter the canonical narrative but I look at react, dart and swift and say - why?
