After around 4 reviews, I believe I have a better sense of where my time is going. I feel I am now reading more effectively and am also prioritizing the programming tasks better. The problem is in the parts where I need to think about and design solutions to problems, outside the work time. Will be working on that this week.
2 Readings/Explorations
- Made some more progress in Society of Mind. Something about its writing style is slowing me down.
- Bringing ML and compositional semantics together (liang2015bringing)
- Design Principles Behind Smalltalk by Ingalls.
- Swoosh: A generic approach to entity resolution (benjelloun2009swoosh)
3 Programming
I am trying to automate parts of this section so it shows some measure of intensity and amount of work I did last week including the work time.
- Spent (wasted) some time getting Haskell FFI to work. Pretty easy to call in C, but gets a little hairy with Python when depending on other libraries.
- Came across seed, guess it's pretty close to the idea of Smalltalk's interactive programming environment. I should try some system like this since it looks really good for recreational programming.
- Cleaned up my cfg files a little, will sweep rogue some time too.
- Explored Haskell a little.
4 Writing
- Nothing specific. Though I have noticed, writing reviews has made it easier to put together tiny journal posts every now and then.
5 Media
- How the Concorde Worked | Stuff You Should Know
- Breaking Bad News Bears | Radiolab | WNYC Studios
- A few pieces from aeon.
