hot take
feeling envy isn't a bad thing. It's an emotion. They come without announcing their approach.
What you do with your emotions is what matters. Holding on to negative feelings, feeding them and acting on them is what one should avoid.
But bottling up emotions and denying their existence? Don't do that.
reminder (for myself too):
It's ok to question,
it's ok to be unsure,
it's ok to be confused,
it's ok to change you mind,
it's ok to be vulnerable,
it's also ok to be completely sure about yourself with nothing to question.
If you're having dark day, I hope there's somebody for you to reach out for. If not, reach out for me. I can't do much, but we can be confused together.
I'm Tuula and like tinkering with code and little toy soldiers (mostly 15mm ancients). I try to pick up reading again, preferably something that isn't code related. Currently that something seems to be #ancient #history.
I'm somewhat confused who or what I am, so you can expect steady stream of toots about that if you decide to follow me.
And I'll try to be generally friendly and safe person to be around.
I like https://armstreet.com/store/medieval-clothing/costume-princess-in-exile and https://armstreet.com/store/medieval-clothing/viking-dress-and-apron-ingrid-the-hearthkeeper quite a bit (always liked the slightly muted colours). They're not really that great for everyday use I suppose.
Or if I wanted to be really fancy, https://armstreet.com/store/medieval-clothing/fantasy-dress-lost-princess is really nice too.
girl can dream, right?
It's getting closer to the demo date of my game now, so if you guys wanna keep up on news and stuff (since I don't post to Masto that much) feel free to join my chatroom

OMG! I'm so excited to announce that through my work at @spritelyinst we've published A Scheme Primer: https://spritely.institute/news/the-spritely-institute-publishes-a-scheme-primer.html
Direct link: https://spritely.institute/static/papers/scheme-primer.html
This document manages to serve two purposes:
- As a quick skim, it's a reasonable intro to "how to start programming with Scheme with no prior experience". Hey, tutorials are useful!
- But also, in less than 30 pages we manage to compress a TON of computer science ideas in a way that I think is really, really approachable.
The document ends with a code example, and full walkthrough, of a Scheme interpreter written in Scheme... in a mere 30 lines of code! It's like 3/4 of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs compressed into a document you could read in an afternoon!

I made a good thing.
Couple weeks ago there was a discussion in LinkedIn about what your company is doing for inclusivity (and having pride coloured logo didn't count). Former colleague was asking practical examples of things they could do more and I suggested that ability to use one's chosen name in as many places as possible would be good.
Yesterday she got back and said they're building preferred name into core processes of ERP and it'll be used in email account creation among other things.
I'm Tuula Aurora, builder of worlds. I have way too many unfinished projects.
My DMs are open if you need someone to talk to.
Tell me about your cool project.
