I'm going through CSS: The Definitive Guide by O'Reilly, published in 2017 and I got this along with other O'Reilly books from a humble bundle back in Nov 2017. I'm using an incremental reading method to go through this book. O'Reilly really live up to their reputation for being awesome compsci books - I finished first chapter and it covered even the most obscure ways of doing things, such as linking stylesheets from Apache .htaccess. O'Reilly is well worth the money especially if you see any special bundle sales.

Freemo is...
Thank you @neil for another session of live php coding. I enjoyed watching the examples done live and you explaining along the way. A lot of things made more sense than just reading the docs.

How it feels to watch a user test your product for the first time.
I am finally done with my assignment! It is quite an embarrassing product, but it was fun to make which was my primary motivation.

Some people asked me to share a lvery difficult yet simple logic puzzle that has stumped my friends. It is also my favorite interview question.
First off some background. The problem is not a trick question, as much as it may seem like one. There is no play on words, no hidden exception. Everything in this problem is exactly how it is presented and the answer doesn't rely on any slight of hand. Take this puzzle at face value.
Also **ALL ANSWERS NEED CONTENT WARNINGS** I do not want you spoiling it for others. This goes for questions and hints too.
Now on to the puzzle:
There is a room with 100 jars with lids on them all in a row. There is also a stack of papers, 100 papers each labeled 1 to 100. The papers are shuffled and one paper placed into each pot randomly.
You and your assistant are in an a joining room. Your assistant is allowed to enter the room, look in all 100 pots, and if they wish they can pick any 2 pots and switch the paper in them. They can only do this one time, they do not have to do this they can choose to also do nothing. At this point they leave the room, without talking to you.
Next, someone tells you a random number from 1 to 100. Your goal is to enter the room and open a pot tht has that number in it. You are allowed to open, at most, 50 of the pots.
Whatever process you use to open those pots must **guarantee** that by the time you open the 50th pot that the number you were given will be found. Obviously your assistant didn't know what the number is at any point.
What rules do you give your assistant, and what rules do you follow, to ensure you are successful?

I've always been calm about the dystopian possibilities of AI, but this triggered a small nerve when I was looking into spaced repetition learning: https://getpolarized.io/2019/05/30/GPT2-Destruction-of-the-Web-and-Artificially-Intelligent-Textbooks.html

Showerthought on live stream coding
I wanted to make a powershell script to auto screenshot my desktop every few minutes, so I can keep track of what I was doing when I worked on a project.
On the other hand a friend suggested me to live stream coding which sounds like a hell of an anxiety wrack for me.
Although come to think about it, I suspect there's a large audience out there who might appreciate watching a complete noob stuffing up CSS, not getting Javascript click event to work, ArrayOutOfBounds etc.
Those who think they're bad would find solace in my bad stream that they're not that bad. Those who are really bad would learn from me.
Hmm....
I made progress on my assignment! https://hippocampus.worldrovine.com/doku.php?id=blog:sosig_counter_3
