People talk about how Linus is a genius like his toxic, abusive behavior was the price of benefitting from his genius.
I can't help wondering how many better operating systems and better version control systems withered in the minds of better engineers than Linus, because open source's toxic culture pushed them out.
it is such a core part of my emotional life and personal metaphysics i shd at least be trying the occasional fanfic
i shd like
make some IF
i just thought of the best imaginable we know the devil tattoo and i am absolutely getting it

i bring this up implicitly a lot but to be explicit:
if u are or know of a queer or otherwise marginalized person who wants to learn about math, programming (including game / graphics), or music theory / composition, i will gladly help, at any level
doubly so for ppl who, for whatever reason, lack access to more traditional channels.
ppl sometimes hesitate cause they think they're too much of a beginner and are wasting my time and that is emphatically not true
(ok to rt if u follow me)

Hey fediverse if you want a game about disaster queers fighting fascists while using mechs made out of meat, buy the shit out of Extreme Meatpunks Forever.
Episodic; the first season is almost complete.

Move slow and repair things.
hey math nerds: do i understand correctly that a category is ~the homotopy space of a directed multigraph, where the nodes and edges have arbitrary metadata attached to them?
thanks to suggestions from @shoofle i turned a math theorem into a puzzle box minigame: http://faec.me/files/rauzy-box.html …
no math knowledge required
i would love to hear reactions, especially if u solve it c:
i just learned how to do ansi color from javascript so i spent the last hour making my build script look like this
hey math nerds is (something similar to) this true:
if a dense subset of the reals is decidable by any finite algorithm (for ~any reasonable formulation of "finite algorithm"), then the neighborhood of any point has measure 1 or 0
it seems true? but i don't know what vocabulary to search for to learn more

The 'master' branch should be called production.
It would help stop using colonialist terms and also make things very clear for devs that once they commit to production, it is production ready.
Also the 'Definitive Media library' sounds way too much like a joke.
lastish call: we're starting up a study group on ergodicity (a fundamental concept in physics, dynamics, chaos, and probability, that characterizes the randomness in a system) aimed at people with a moderate math background and some coding skills.
we are an explicitly queer-affirming group and we particularly welcome ppl who feel alienated from academic math.
right now we are reading http://www.mat.ucm.es/serv/revmat/vol19-1/vol19-1a_p.pdf
our code is at https://github.com/faec/IntervalExchange
exercises are at https://github.com/faec/IntervalExchange/blob/master/Exercises/exercises1.md
🕷🕸✨
hey if u are interested in math u should join our study group on ✨ergodicity✨
pad out your spellbook! cope with this hellworld by spending time contemplating mystery and beauty! we have a discord and we will not stop until we learn some neat things! ping me for an invite ^^
heyyy does anyone want to learn about ergodicity (~the mathematical foundation of chaos theory, if that sounds more appealing, tho also of a lot of other things)? enough to consider joining a reading / coding study group about it?
the prerequisites are probably less than u think, and u'll get to learn about one of the most important developments in 20th century math :D

Hello, everyone! If you've been following @maloki for updates on the ongoing effort to #ForkTogether, then you may be happy to know that we had our first meeting on Saturday and are still planning out governance and infrastructure before the project "officially" starts.
If you're looking to follow the progress of the fork, or you're looking to get involved, follow here for updates!
"what's your favorite exceptional configuration?" is a question i was just asked
