Moving Mooney would be just giving up on offense. This has been a down year for him - it's shaping up to be a down year for the whole passing game. But leaving Moore as the only legitimate WR threat won't help win games or evaluate Fields/Bagent.

If I could chose between the two, I'd like to see JJ stay. He's a solid pass defender, although his availability has been limited by injuries.

I'm not sold on Tyrique "PI" Stevenson. Every game he seems to get beat and has to interfere.

Edit: Wait what? I thought I was commenting in the post about moving Mooney or Johnson.

I think Poles gets more time. He took over a team in free fall and saw it crash into the ground. It'll take more than one off-season to build a competitive team. I like what Poles has done with draft capital. Claypool is a big mark against him. On paper it was a good move. At the time, I recall a lot of excitement, further fueled by talk that GB was after him.

I don't know about Flus. Maybe one positive thing I can say about him is I believe the defense has been playing a little better since he took over. I thought the rule used to be that coaches got three years. (Trustman was a fairly recent counterexample).

I agree regarding Fields. It was unfortunate the circumstances he's found himself in, but I think good quarterbacks would find more ways to have success. He's going to have to play great the rest of the season too stay in Chicago. I'd love to see it, but I'm not very hopeful.

So many missed opportunities on defense. These guys need to learn to finish plays. And get healthy.

Offense is a huge disappointment. Fields is playing well below that high floor we thought he had when he was drafted. Leave it to be Bears to ruin another QB.

I don't want to see a WR screen ever again.

I can type pretty fast on a full keyboard, so for me writing is slower. But because it is slower, I find it can be more thoughtful. About two years ago I started making an effort to hand write notes to help me think, learn, and remember things.

Pen and paper are also pretty great. You can take them anywhere. They don't require electricity or a battery. They are small and lightweight. You can use them on a hike. You can use them if the power goes out. The format will never become unsupported.

Those look neat. You can use glass and metal nibs in them!

Moore and Herbert have some speed!

Pass was a little behind if we're being honest, but this is what good skill players can do! JF1 doesn't have to be flawless. I'm pumped.

That looks like a nice reliable blue.

I primarily use document inks for addressing envelopes, which can be infrequent. To avoid clogging a pen, I've been considering getting a dip pen like the Pilot Iro-Utsushi. It's still a metal nib, as opposed to a glass pen, and more for everyday writing than a calligraphy nib.

I'll be using a burgundy Pilot e95s with Diplomat Burgundy ink for work notes.

I'm a hobbyist, I don't use common lisp professionally, but it has become my go-to tool for little personal projects and puzzles (like Project Euler or Advent of Code). The interactive development (mentioned in the article) is one of the primary reasons.

I find it so fun to build with. You can write functions and immediately test and interact with them in the repl, and then build on them from there. You can compile code at a granular level - for example you can recompile a function rather than the entire source file. This is helpful if some stuff is still being worked out and would produce compile time errors.

Occasionally I've gotten into a weird place because of the evolution of my code and incremental changes along the way while running a program. When I stop and completely reload a program, it behaves differently from what I previously experienced. It is something additional to keep in mind when interactively modifying a program.

The debugger experience with Emacs/Slime is the best I've experienced (professionally I've used various versions of Visual Studio, and as a hobbyist, various open source IDEs.)

The programs I have written are simple. Some day I would like to grok CLOS and the condition system.

Looks lovely! I enjoyed looking at the writing sample. Your ink really helps show off the line variation. I like how the loops in your b, h, and l letters look!
