Letters from Sanford Street # 518

What am I thinking about right now? Well, I went grocery shopping a handful of times over the past few days.


The one benefit that I am noticing about going grocery shopping is that it is allowing me more time to stay at home, well, obviously, but, I spend less time going out when I have food at home.


Going out to eat isn't always a pleasant experience anyway.

I've been throwing out stuff that I don't need, and throwing out things that I haven't had any use for, or, haven't used, and stuff that just seems to be taking up space. I remember when I was working at Fastenal, years ago, and I was working at a location at Santa Cruz, and I was clearing out old equipment that I could have sworn was from the 80's or 90's or something, and the General Manager at the Santa Cruz location suggested that we keep the stuff, just in case we needed it later, rather than sending to the centralized IT department or company equipment depot or whatever.


Some of the things I'm holding on to are things that I think I might use in the future, or, thought that I might use at some point in the future, but, there is really no knowing for sure. For example, I threw away a few cans of spray paint, and I really don't think that I'll ever use spray paint. I don't remember what I bought these for.

The reason why any specific function is used depends on what you are trying to accomplish, changing the color, height, or cropping a picture, or whatever.


But the exact spelling of a function isn't something that's in anyway really logical, correct functions and their spellings have to be looked up in what's called a documentation library.


A documentation library for a programming language works in much the same way as a dictionary does for a regular language does.


So if you're asking how I chose the functions I did, I pulled them from a documentation library.
