In regards to the expensive nature of saffron…

‘stares into distance, takes a long drag off of what is, if you look closely, in fact a candy cigarette’

what if I told you…that saffron…is actually not that hard to grow at home for your own use.

Oh look a place you can buy the bulbs.

If you live in a climate colder than zone 6…as I do…plant them in containers and move the containers into a basement or garage during the winter.

They bloom in fall, and are quite lovely. And also you get saffron.

But seriously, when we got our property, it was all just…grass. A sterile grass moonscape, like a billion other yards. With two big old maple trees. Just grass and maples, that was it.

But then I got my grubby little paws on it, and I immediately stopped fertilizing, spraying, and bagging up grass clippings and leaves. I ripped up sod and put in flowers and vegetables. I put down nice thick blankets of mulch around the flowers and vegetables.

When I first was sweating my way through stripping sod, I saw a grand total of 1 worm and 0 ladybugs. The ground was compacted into something that would bend shovel blades.

Now, six years later, I can’t dig a planting hole without turning up fourteen earthworms, and there are so many ladybugs here. Not the invasive asian lady beetles; native ladybugs. They winter over in the mulch and in the brush pile. I see thousands of them.

The soil is soft and rich. There are birds that come to eat, and bees of many sorts.

Like this is something that you, yourself, can absolutely change. This is something that you, personally, can make a difference in.

The time of judgement has almost arrived.

When I was younger, I think I really did think the feeling of being about to take my final exam would be over once I was no longer in school. Alas!

The problem with my Java knowledge is that, at this point, it's mostly cobbled together from LeetCode. So anything outside of that, I am just. Unsure.

I've seen nested classes, abstract classes, interfaces, superclasses, etc. I've even worked with them before. I, in fact, had to use at least two of the many for the take home assessment of the interview I'm prepping for. But do I know how to write them???

Not anymore! That shit set sail a few months ago! That knowledge is out! It's gone! Goodbye!

I have an interview to do, and thus I am desperately cramming concepts in my head like a college student before her final exams and questioning life.

Yes, I've spent two years working in this programming language, but do I actually know how it works? Do I actually know how to code in it? You'd think the answer is yes! Instead, as I jump through a hole of generics and abstracts and implementations, I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that the answer is "mayhaps not!"

Anyway. Here are a few notes I took for myself on basic definitions and stuff I should probably know. They're not pretty and/or on paper but have them anyway as I spiral slowly into madness.

A compiled language: converted directly into machine code that the processor can execute

An interpreted language: runs through the program line by line. Generally takes longer than a compiled language.

A procedural language: code is broken down into procedures. Data and methods are two separate entities. No access specifiers. Code is meant to follow a series of steps.

A functional language: everything is organized around functions and parameters. ngl i kind of hate this.

A object-oriented language: breaks down software into components (objects) that code can adhere to. Data and methods are tied together by classes or objects

Polymorphism: multiple objects share the same name, but have different structures or serve different functionalities in different contexts -- see function overloading and function overriding.

function overloading (static): 2+ methods in the same class have the same name but different parameters. Errors here are caught in compile time.

function overriding (dynamic): A method in a child class and a method in the parent class have the same method signature (name + parameter list). Errors here are caught in runtime.

Inheritance: child classes inherit attributes and methods of a parent class, reducing redundancy as classes can share common logic, structure, and attributes

Encapsulation: Objects are one singular entity -- they have their own private state, methods, attributes, etc, that can’t be accessed by other objects. Makes for greater security!

Abstraction: Classes expose certain data attributes while keeping others private. Similar to the above, except the point here is that the user only knows what they need to know: AKA they don’t need to know the inner workings of a function. Simplifies things + again, greater security

I was thinking about maybe checking out another productivity tool, and thought I'd take a look at Habitica, which I haven't checked since... oh, before college, maybe?

Re: non-compete clauses

I would love to hear you elaborate on this! This is my first hearing that.
