So, this is a shot in the dark, but i'm finishing up my undergraduate work this year and want to immediately start a masters and then (hopefully) work towards getting a doctorate in some subfield of Computer Science.

I have some questions I'd like to bounce off people who have done something similar. If You are seeing this and have completed/are currently completing a graduate program and would be willing to answer a hopeful's questions, let me know!

Hmm, somewhat, then. The ↕ glyph is apparently replaced by an emoji, but otherwise they are all readable symbols.

If You are reading this, could You let me know whether the above renders properly for You?

Does Mastodon like BQN?

Flip ← {m←2|+⌜˜↕≠𝕩 ⋄ (⍉𝕩׬m)+𝕩×m}

The editor does, let's see about the feed.

Just got my first PR merged into PrismJS, and wrote a blog post about the language I contributed, BQN! https://yewscion.com/big-question-notation.html

This is why decentralization is important. https://www.theregister.com/2022/08/04/gitlab_data_retention_policy/

Though this company has decided to backtrack for now by moving 'inactive' repositories to object storage, any for-profit company that owns a git forge could fold (or change policies, or decide not to care about gratis FLOSS projects) and nuke Your data.

Store things locally. Store things in multiple places. Make backups. Share Source Code. Archive Websites.

Or maybe we'll lose everything.

I was reminded this morning just how annoying I find it when someone refers to '/' as a "backslash".

I forget how much it bothers me until I see it in the wild, and the irritation sticks with me all day.

Just went down from 698 to 490 packages in my guix home declaration! The audit took me 4 hours, but it's well worth it to clean out over 200 packages I don't really need.

Well, today I feel pretty sick still… but at least it is a normal sick? Like, I feel like xeroxed compost, but moving isn't painful and I can breathe normally again.

So, progress!

#TAM when Your techie-focused video chat software 'recommends' Google Chrome, but /requires/ a chromium-based/masquerading browser to function at all...

I'm always looking for:

(LGBTQAI2+)-related,

DRM-free, and

preferably-indie-but-not-a-dealbreaker-if-they-found-success

speculative fiction/fantasy/science fiction, if You have any recommendations!

Also looking to get a mutable reading list set up somewhere; I think I made a bookwyrm account a while back, but I'll have to dig it up out of the annals to really set it up.

Is that a thing worth doing, or should I roll my own?

Well, I /meant/ to sort that list alphabetically, but I guess I'm still rona-addled enough to have forgotten before hitting send

Anyway, here's the ones I've added:
