Emoji fix all the problems of previous pictographical systems. They can be standardized easily, can be written quickly and legibly inline, and have their definition built in on hover.

Let ∅ represent the empty set.

Let T represent texts that contain the previous sentence.

∅ = { x in T | ManagedToDescribeSomethingInAnApproachableWayForOutsiders(x) }

It'd be great if I could find a way for all these great drunk ideas to survive the sobering.

Program for 3 hours straight.
Forget to compile the whole time.
Run it.
Works perfectly.
Wat.

Commence suspicion.

Got lost in a project and now it's 5am.
It's a good thing.

Anyone have a good intro to #automata theory? Websites, articles, books, MOOCs, etc all welcome

Hashtag soup: #automatatheory #compsci #math

When you drink from the federated feed firehose you get surprisingly good at understanding the gist of things in languages you never learned.

Me on a in-the-zone day is so far away from me in a slump it's insane. You'd never know I was the same person.

I wish people would use #hashtags more. Discoverability is important and that's the best way to do it right now.

One thing I do find myself missing is a real understanding of automata theory. Everything I'm writing feels like an increasingly complex grammar-within-a-grammar so more background there would surely help.

Been diving head first into procedural fiction generation and its amazingly nuanced. My mythology/history generator is inching along, but the feedback loop is tighter and more rewarding than any other project I've worked on. #procedural_generation #procgen

It's just grammars all the way down

I wonder if I'd actually enjoy moving out of the city and hermitting a while.

Mapping song structure onto monomyth story structure, it seems like "the bridge" is sort of a final boss. The furthest from the familiar that we reach until our triumphant return to the chorus.

Anyone have an example of an experimental or unusual-in-structure podcast? There's so much potential in the medium but they all seem to follow a few predictable formats.
