    That Heilung live video. Wow. I'm not really sure what to say or make of that. Waaaaay outside my usual listening, so I have no point of reference for that kind of music. I really like driving repetitions in music though, so I found myself really enjoying it. Wild--thanks for the share.

    Playing with the new ML .Net framework from MS, since I work in an MS/C# shop. Trying to put a demo together using real-world data from work to sort of prove out the value. We have not done anything with machine learning at all, so this is new territory. The hard part is finding a part of the business that has a nice clean dataset that I can train a regression model on. Something simple enough to get going easily, but not so simple that the results are obvious beforehand.

    Thanks for this link. This quote toward the bottom of the article is provacative:
    "I spend exactly zero time thinking about “objects” or what goes where. The fallacy of “object-oriented programming” is exactly that: that code is at all “object-oriented”. It isn’t. Code is procedurally oriented, and the “objects” are simply constructs that arise that allow procedures to be reused. So if you just let that happen instead of trying to force everything to work backwards, programming becomes immensely more pleasant."
