Maker. Nomad. Play enthusiast. Lover of all things programming.
Same name on irc, tg, gh, and everywhere else.
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.

if your site depends on client-side js to render static content, like
what are you doing
why are you doing it
you do not need to execute arbitrary code on my machine to, uh, display immutable text
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

Two err is human
Six or more err is a crowd
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.
Nothing like a major outage to make you feel alive (and for customers to want you dead)
I love interviews. Especially interviews with those who care about craft, meaning, and people. It's beautiful just how many interesting people there are in the world.
I'm going to the bookstore fedi, please give me reading recommendations
Possibly as "simple" as macro expansion but reversible. Macro contraction?
Anyone aware of languages that transpile in a losslessly reversible way? Iike full on lens compilation.
I'd love a high level language overlayed on a low level one where I can toggle between the two casually and know in my head what each one converts to without any uncertainty.
