Astor Place
Today I came to work at a Starbucks at Astor Place, near 4th ave and 9th street. Nice place, one of my favorite spots to work at.
Also took the opportunity to walk from 23rd street all the way here. Very pleasant night!

FDR Drive
This is the FDR Drive, a very busy road that goes all around Manhattan and passes right next to our apartment complex. You can also see the East River which is just a block away.

This time I went for a non vegan pao de queijo, and it worked very well! The vegan version unfortunately was awful, but this one came out excellent! :-)

UUID?
So today at work I wanted to uniquely identify a resource before storing it. There are many options our there, but I chose the standard UUID method which stands for Universally Unique IDentifier. But how unique is it really?! According to it's definition, depending on how it is generated, it is considered unique enough so that the chance of someone else ever generating another UUID by chance that matches the one you generated is extremely low.
It turns out there can be three hundred and fourty undecillion, two hundred and eighty two decillion, three hundred and sixty six nonillion, nine hundred and twenty octillion, nine hundred and thirty eight septillion, four hundred and sixty three sextillion, four hundred and sixty three quintillion, three hundred and seventy four quadrillion, six hundred and seven trillion, four hundred thirty one billion, seven hundred sixty eight million, two hundred and eleven thousand, four hundred fifty six possible values for a universally unique identifier. That is 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456! Or, 2^128 for short.
That is larger than the number of stars in the observable universe. I think that is unique enough. :)
