Today was largely written off by a wicked headache, but not completely.

  • I chatted to some folks on the morning pairing session, who patiently listened to me ranting about explainability in machine learning. I took the opportunity, as I always do, to recommend Stop Explaining Black Box Machine Learning Models for High Stakes Decisions and Use Interpretable Models Instead.
  • Lay on bed reading a book instead of looking at a screen.
  • Felt better, worked through more of Rustlings. Disappointed not to finish it today, but I did hit some things I hadn’t encountered before (Box, Arc, and some cool error handling stuff with .map_err()), and learned a bit about them.
  • Did a little more hanging out on the virtual couches.

Hopefully tomorrow I’ll actually finish Rustlings, though right now I’m kind of hyped to get back to data viz with svelte and d3.
