    At this point I am pretty much convinced that HyperLogLog is a magic bean counting machine.

    Well that was unsettling. Was harshly woken up by the sound of crackling and my lights flickering, then a pop and the apartment went dark. In a half-awake stupor I was confused why one of my lights was still working. Took me a while to realize it was only the circuit for my outlets that had tripped.

    I tried to reset the breaker, but it snapped again immediately after I turned it back on. So my thought is something on the circuit has shorted, or I've just overloaded that circuit.

    Either way, I can'e believe they built a brand new building and put all the plugs in this apartment on a single 15-amp circuit. Seems like it wouldn't have been that much harder to at least split it into two!

    How is it possible to buy a 7" Android tablet for 2/3 the cost of the Philips Hue Tap switch? Both make good lightswitches.

    It's amazing how incremental progress all adds up after a while. @bmndr is the only reason I've made this much progress on this book.

    I highly recommend following @hourlykitten so that the terrible news in your timeline is occasionally interspersed with cuteness

    Is it even possible to buy a TV that isn't smart? I want a screen I can plug things in to, not a computer with a terrible UI I can't change

    Can people get kicked off planes for wearing too much cologne? I swear the guy next to me is practically flammable.
