Work
- I learned about httpbin , a very simple yet useful api to test other apis, provides useful endpoints for very simple tasks
For example, to find an aws public ip you can use httpbin like:
curl http://httpbin.org/ip
I learned about docopt a very nice and intuitive module to add arguments to a command line program in python.
Life
I learned that the reason there are almost no female sushi chefs is because of the traditional belief that women’s menstruation, perfume and makeup can “affect the delicate and sophisticated form of Japanese cooking”.
I learned about the existence of Sri Pada, a mountain located in Sri Lanka , known to be the sacrest mountain for Budhism.
