Donât you cry
Daddyâs going to buy you a popping sleigh
If that popping sleigh pops away,
Daddyâs going to buy you a goat with hay
If that goat eats all that hay,
Daddyâs going to buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring breaks to brass
Daddyâs going to buy you a cup of clear glass.
If that cup breaks again
Daddyâs going to buy you a baby hen.
If that hen had some chicks
Daddy will buy you a clock that ticks.
If that clock doesnât wake you up
Daddyâs going to buy you a rabbit skin.
There is nothing wrong about that
So weâll eat it up.
Daddyâs going to buy you a hat.</pre><p></p>2021-06-11T11:07:00Zhttps://koser.us/notes/20210611110700/<p>The 20-5-3 rule:</p>

<li>Naming things is fantastic. Everything on the screen should have a name. Itâs better for your work. Itâs better for accessibility. Itâs better for your design. Take a table view and name it âInboxâ, âScreenerâ, or âPaper Trailâ, and they suddenly mean something. What you do with them has changed. A good name transforms design and action.</li>

<p>By betting on Starship, which entails a host of development risks, NASA is taking a chance on what would be a much brighter future. One in which not a handful of astronauts go to the Moon or Mars, but dozens and then hundreds. In this sense, Starship represents a radical departure for NASA and human exploration.</p>

2020-02-21T00:00:00Zhttps://koser.us/notes/20200221000000/<p>It was 8:30 at night, and Brian and I hadn't eaten. I had wanted to make burgers, but it just kept getting later and later as we tried to get the kids into bed at a decent hour. Finally they were down, but since it was so late I considered just scrounging. Brian, self-sacrificing that he is, said that would be fine with him. I felt dissatisfied with how the night was turning out, and after a minute of internal debate declared I was going to make the burgers anyway. He looked so pleased, I knew Iâd made the right decision.</p>
