My Twitter Accounts

Some people do whole life tweeting, some people don't. 

I happen to be a liberal, a vegan & a Buddhist & don't want people to think I'm doing advocacy just because I mention one of those. There is a time for advocacy and a time for not doing advocacy.

I also have a few accounts that are primarily consumption accounts, for consuming content from celebrities, artists, actors, writer and so on- people who are unlikely to chat with me. 

Interaction Accounts. You'd benefit from following me here.
@mistersql  - DC Tech & Software Dev Account
@vegdevops - Health, plant based cooking, running, and the like
@mott_st - NYC Tech & Software Dev Account (& sometimes business travel topics)
@matthewmartin - My Buddhism account

Consumption Accounts. I do low volume tweeting here, but if I tweet I stay on topic.
@vegantrain - Almost entirely pictures of my dinners at vegan restaurants.
@flyscifiguy - Sci Fi, space and stuff
@trainsnake - Python conferences & following python people
@jabahutscript - JavaScript, node, etc.
@mathmtka - My math, logic, kumon, math club account
@janmato - Linguistics & fake languages
@okayape - My left wing politics account, national politics
@takomaparkmatt - My Takoma Park and DC/Maryland politics account


There are more accounts, but I'm not going to bore you.

Not flunking the tech interview

 There already is a book on " Cracking the Coding Interview ", but not one for how to not totally flunk it. This blog post assumes an interview for a job involving coding. Many server admin jobs, UI jobs, testing jobs, might not call for you to ever write a line of code. If you don't know it say so. I have never written a line of rust or so much as read a book about it. I know it is a programming language. I will not try to leverage that into solving a live programming puzzle in rust on a whiteboard. If you don't know, say so, don't bullshit. Better to preface it with, "I'm not sure but...." than to confidently bullshit as if no one will notice. The HR person might not notice, but techies will. And don't waste your breath on technobabble with the HR folk anyhow, even if it is actually true and coherent. HR wants to hear about successful past projects and happy customers, not the finers points of fdisk. Go read up on the common questions. They...

So why again am I doing this FMD?

ABSTRACT. I've been doing health related experiments my whole life. FMD is a continuation. The goal is to not die, not just out of a fear of death, but because I have dependents who need me to live well past 60 and to be healthy enough to work well past 60. Well, it starts back when I was in my teens and started reading books at random at the library. I ended up in the health section and found it a strangely compelling genre because unlike fiction, it had actionable advice. So starts a lifetime of health hacking. First major experiment - vegetarianism. A read a book that made a solid case about the environmental, ethical and health case for vegetarianism. I signed up as a vegetarian, aka cheesatarian, because I could find cheese & egg dishes my family made & restaurants served. I spend the next 20+ years eating too much dairy, bounded only by some low-fat protocols I followed. Second major experiment - low fat. This was highly compatible with vegetarianism. It...

So I'm FMD fasting again

I'm doing a Fasting Mimicking Diet again. This my 3rd. I've been too cheap to buy a Prolon kit, so I'm using Enid Kassner's recipe set . I'm starting late because it is hard to do the cooking in addition to regular cooking during the week. I couldn't start any later because I don't want to end fast exactly on Thanksgiving. I'll have 24 hours of regular eating to prepare for the big lunch on Thanksgiving. Yesterday I did my last run until after the fast. I'm training for a 5K in 6 months. I'll just be doing my unavoidable walking for exercise. My weight is 148 or so, so I should survive losing the 5+ lbs. The first FMD I did, I went from 150 to 145, and mostly felt fine. The second FMD I did, I went from like 145 to under 140 and I was ravenously hungry all the time. After that one, my new rule is I don't fast if I'm not at or near 150 lbs. My cheats enumerated: * Swapping sesame for walnut, my knee hurts from running & sesa...
