I wouldn't call myself a workaholic, but today I ran into such an interesting problem that I *had* to stay up to figure it out.
The gist of it is that we need to generate *short* IDs for error messages in a YAML so we can add messages in parallel without having lots of conflicting PRs.
And I think I figured it out! You can feed the number of pending PRs (assume that each adds only one ID) into the birthday problem formula and choose a collision probability that you're comfortable with, then solve for the number of "days". There is probably a nice equational way to do it, but I did it by just brute forcing it in Python.
The trick then is to also consider gaps among the already assigned IDs.
With a 1% collision probability and 10 PRs, a range of about 2500 is enough. And the ID size grows slowly enough that even after allocating 2000 new IDs randomly, they still stay below 5 digits. And since the rate of additions should gradually slow down, such a slow increase is even less of a worry.
But, I might be wrong about this whole thing, after all, I did completely fuck up the combinatorics calculations on my first attempt, so #mathematics folx, if anyone wants to poke holes in my model, please feel free to do so in the replies.

This is what I've been up to for the past months. RDRPT is a feedback looper, inspired by no-input mixing techniques and harsh noise. It's intense, chaotic and unforgiving. I enjoy it a lot.
How it was designed, schematics etc come out tomorrow on https://gnd.buzz
For now just wanted to share the looks
Made a book that's easy to re-bind. It has sewn sections, and a bit of PVA glue (not on the threads). The cover slides over the end sections, so I can slide it out. I'm using it as a fancy hipster PDA.

Been a while since I've illustrated the characters of Mindbird together
Drawn in pencil 21.59 x 27.94 cm(8.5 x 11 in).
Overtime, Pino has experienced many ways of being pulled out of the water.
Around the end of last year, I started playing around with some ideas for building a text-based, low-code life-logging/personal archive platform. In rare form, I stuck with it and am now nearing a usable prototype. Exciting! I'll share and document it soon. ("Soon" on mom-coding-in-her-spare-time time, so maybe by early next year.) #theWorkshop

Restoring our 2017 project "Vicious Circles" to run on an Intel NUC. (Despite the "next" in the acronym what I really love about these things is the ability to run a really wide range of old art--native, browser, VM all well supported.) #theWorkshop

I finished soldering together all the custom cables I needed for our live rig, things got much easier after 2-3 of them and I'm glad to report that they were all working! You can also see the beginning of some cable organization in there.
Time to solder some cables for the @voidxwitch live rig! I'm really liking those squareplug jacks so far. Having all those outputs nicely routed to the back is gonna make setup much easier at shows :)
The next step in building our live rig was making the case that would hold the rack. I decided to go with a road case style construction with 1/4" ply and aluminum extrusions for weight and sturdiness reasons. This was definitely a measure twice cut once kind of situation in order to get everything fitting nicely but it's definitely doable with hand tools and a drill :)
