TIL / betaveros

630 TILs over 327 days = 1.927 things learned per day (σ = 1.549; μ3 = 18.282 ⇒ γ1 = 4.922?)

UPDATE: well, we had a pretty good run, but I ran out of steam in late 2016, and also Dropbox's Public folder stopped being an option for sharing HTML files, so this probably won't update any more.

At first I was like, haha, I can use Twitter for this purpose, but then I realized that there was something prohibitively formal about tweeting anything — I wonder, do my followers care about it? How do I summarize to squeeze it into the character limit? Is it phrased properly? — and I wasn’t actually jotting down the hundreds of things I learned. Having to git commit anything is probably overkill too because it involves coming up with a public commit message.

So here is a single markdown file, hosting outsourced to Dropbox (briefly on brace.io, which is getting sunsetted Jan. 2015, so never mind, I guess), processing outsourced to kramdown (can’t go wrong with GitHub’s preference), postprocessing and templating outsourced to a Python script written in ten minutes (which has then been overengineered to become a polling engine and also calculate a TIL count per day). I hope the pipe never becomes too large. Maybe I can archive it to my GitHub page every month?

(Also, half of these TILs are almost more like mini-diary-entries)
