Today I met a bunch of 8-9 year olds from a local school here in Bangkok who've been learning Esperanto for 2 hours/week. Their teacher brought them all along to a little gathering to celebrate Esperanto (today is Zamenhof day). They were all so sweet and so excited about Esperanto. So many selfies!

Today' AoC was fun. I love a good brute force. That's the 13th consecutive live coding session I've done, and I'm enjoying the extra challenge of recording them. Trying to narrate what you're doing while coding it definitely doesn't make it any easier.

10 days of live coding my Advent of Code attempts. Pretty happy with that. Videos here, if that's anyone's bag: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLcWlBThjQPxwVRg05x9314FTCx5e9c_O

I normally ignore Advent of Code, but this year I'm going do some, and share them. Here's day 1: https://youtu.be/GfgOSfEErKI If you don't know what AoC is: it's an advent calendar, but instead of chocolate, you get a coding challenge. It's a fun way to learn, sharpen your skills, or just have fun.

One of the hard things about nomad life is the planning. I've spent all day figuring out what's next, when, and dealing with all the hurdles that sort of planning throws at you (cancelations, visas, etc.) It's worth it, but it's not all roses.

I love the idea of becoming "indistractable". I wrote some thoughts on it. https://martinrue.com/be-indistractable

Having a robust test suite, or indeed sometimes even just a good type system, catch a legit problem you *just* introduced (and would have otherwise missed) is one of the real joys of coding.

I spent all day coding yesterday, and damn did that feel good. Same again today.

I just read about a short antiwar film that has been produced using Esperanto to keep the context in the film free of national identity. The actors learned the language quickly to speak their lines naturally. I'm excited to watch it! It'll be revealed next year.

I've been co-working today with 6 friends. We all met in Da Nang and now find ourselves in Bangkok. I love how easily this happens in the SEA nomad scene. So great to be around folks doing what you're doing and supporting each other.

I didn't send out last week's language newsletter due to travel, so on Monday I'm tackling the question: "What if we redesigned language?" If you want those sorts of bytes arriving in your inbox, here's the location of more internet bytes that'll help ensure that happens: https://lingoh.news

10 random things to consider: 1. You had 4000 weeks left when you were born. 2. Most of the days you've lived you've forgotten. 3. Your life looks different to others. 4. There are other ways of thinking outside of your default. 5. What you'd say if you could say only one more sentence. 6. What you are willing to suffer for. 7. What enough means. 8. How important truth is. 9. How deliberately you use the word yes. 10. What your fully realised self looks like.

Things I didn't know until now: 16% of 25 is the same as 25% of 16. The difference is that my brain freaks out about the first, but is very happy with the second. X% of Y is always the same as Y% of X. When doing quick maths, ask yourself if the reverse is easier to consider.
