Slept from ten to six without waking.
Cloudy. High of thirty-seven. Mix of rain and show likely. Up to an inch of accumulated snow.
Read a chapter of Three Musketeers this morning.
Wore green.
Had time to stop at Starbucks on the way in to work.
Work:
- Add to shell notes (https://dev.to/thiht/shell-scripts-matter)
- Chase Comcast packet loss
Done-ish. We're dealing with Comcast "protension" now.
Twenty minute walk at lunch.
Not much snow or rain yet.
Saw lots of squirrels, robins, a seagull, and a turkey vulture.
Home:
- Play with Castle Brezelbier
Ten minute walk after I got home. Snowing fairly heavily.
Cleaned kitchen and bathroom, vacuumed, changed towels.

Netflix Replacing Star Ratings With Thumbs Ups and Thumbs Down
It never even occurred to me that some people would rate solely on the axis of how much they enjoyed the video.
I'm now of the opinion that their library is thin enough that I should ignore ratings and stop rating things myself (if only there was still a way to flag a video as "watched").

> They are diluting the meaning of quality and instead are opting for a saccharine "enjoyment" factor. This binary choice does not sit well with me and I hope they abandon the idea soon.
> Maybe that's an improvement, but the more discussion I see around this, the more I realize the futility of single-axis metrics for things like this, until and unless you're asking a single question "Did you enjoy this movie" is a much different question from "is this a good movie" -- and I don't really know which one I've been answering on Netflix all these years past.
> Why not remove recommendations altogether? They clearly don't have a library to support it.
