    My Portuguese flashcard app, on the very first card, captures my mood. What's the point of trying to do good work? 40% of my country - a political majority - doesn't care about honesty, doing a good job, traditions of probity, *any* of that civics stuff.

    Interesting fact: if you two `NaiveDateTime` values, it thinks them equal if their `Time` parts are equal. Intentional? If so, I'm reminded of what Matz said at an early RubyConf: "the principle of least astonishment means least astonishing to *me*

    Lazytweet: Java has changed somewhat since 1997. Now that it has free-standing functions, is there a convenient chaining function like F#/Elm/Elixir's `|>`?
