Question to users of tornadohq.com : would you rather I filter out test tornado warnings completely? Or leave them in the dataset, but have the option to filter them out? See the MN/WI warnings from about 24 hours ago for an example. cc: @JDSilverlight


Particularly dangerous situation #tornado watch for MS/TN/AL. The SPC has put an 80% probability on 1 or more strong tornadoes occurring (EF2-EF5 strength). PDS tornado watches are fairly rare.

So awesome to meet @TroyBakerVA and @nolan_north today, so happy I made the trip to do it! One very happy girl to meet such two lovely men in an afternoon.

TIL that ZIP codes in the United States can cross not only city lines but also state lines. You **cannot** assume a single city or state contains a given ZIP code.


Anyone know if it's possible on mac to block an application from listening to global shortcut keys? Some random app thought it was an absolutely brilliant idea to bind their NON CONFIGURABLE, global show window shortcut key to something I use in terminal, all the bloody time.


My brain is spaghetti. Another one of those programming days where I wanted to implement something super simple to explain out loud, but it took all day to do. "Hey, I want to show a user's wrong answers when they finish a quiz on japanesevocabquiz.com ". 12 hours later...


However, my proper geeky story is that cyclocane.com was the initial spark to get me to learn Spanish. I wanted to be able to read/use Spanish language hurricane data and have a Spanish translation for cyclocane, which did debut in Aug 2012. Gracias a google translate.


I actually had a guy in my class ask if I was learning Japanese because of Ruby but no, my story is less sexy. I simply wanted to take a language class and Japanese was the only one that fit with the other class I was taking that semester.

Actually, I started learning Japanese so that I could read blog posts about Ruby. Thanks to Ruby I speak Japanese now! #ruby25th


SPC's #tornado outlook for later today has a strong tornado threat: "... One or two of these [tornadoes] could potentially be long-lived/tracked and strong..." If you're in the affected area, be sure to stay alert today. I'll be monitoring tornadohq.com for any hiccups.

I just moved the earthquake site tertremo.com from an elm app on top of phoenix/elixir to just being an elm app. Phoenix served the pages mighty fast but there was no point since I wasn't using the features.


The struggle now is to find a way to force myself to keep adding the remaining features and raw data (like Japanese vocab) that I'll need to survive the rest of the semester, in the midst of being burn out. Or to figure out how to fix the burn out.


After building kanjibyhayley.com japaneseverbquiz.com japanesevocabquiz.com hayleyfailsjapanese.com kanjivisualizer.com and japanesematchgame.com , welp, I think I've finally hit my wall and am burned out. RIP my programming streak. January 18th - February 21st.


My latest tech drama.. finding out why my input fields were blanking out in Safari but not in Chrome. When going from something like つかう to 使う, Safari would send an event with a blank string for the microsecond that it was transitioning between the hiragana and the kanji.


I theoretically fixed a map panning issue with tornadohq.com and upgraded leaflet. If you notice any weirdness, let me know.


So apparently not an invisible character, but a zero-width "U+3099: COMBINING KATAKANA-HIRAGANA VOICED SOUND MARK". So instead of the textbook having a proper げ, it was a け with this demonic zero-width dakuten. Wheeeeee. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiragana_…


Welp, apparently I picked up an invisible character when I was copying/pasting some Japanese text out of an ebook. Not the first time I've picked up random invisible characters. I have to figure out some way to make them visible though so this doesn't bite me in the cul again.


Yeah, um, apparently somehow け and げ are occupying the same physical space in my code. How the hell this is even possible, I don't know. So far, I've only figured out how to get Visual Studio Code to indicate that there's a problem. NeoVim acts like everything is hunky dory.


Unsurprisingly, twitter converted it in some way when I posted so now I can copy and paste it out of the tweet and get true. I !@#$!@#$@!#$ unicode.


I'm having fun figuring out why "さげない" does not equal "さげない". How does "さげない" == "さげない" make false. All I know is it's apparently the げ character and one of them is not like the other. Programming is fun.
