(every time i open krita and see tyson tan's splash screen) wow! she's so pretty

@noiob oh wow, WHAT

ignoring the book completely, i still just really love the aesthetic that the title "the restaurant at the end of the universe" evokes

the idea is just so excessively liminal in all the best ways, and it makes me want to be there

@iitalics this is fun with clojure too!

it seems every time i even touch (future ...) i have to throw (doall ...) calls all around it. bonus points if these futures are created in lazy list comprehension

it's really lovely to have nothing happen until you try to resolve it muuuuch later, and have that thread block until it finishes the work it just started now that you asked for its results

@sara if it helps, if you aren't super-hurting for a position, it's 1000% worth it to be explicit about the things that are important to you, and not to put on a traditional business facade

that will filter out most of the Bad Places you don't want to end up at

it's good to be picky if you can! it's much better if places you interview impress you, rather than the other way around--since you'll probably end up spending a lot of time in the environment you end up choosing

i hope this helps a little! interviews really can play into some nasty power dynamics, so it's super-nifty if you can invert those to find a place you won't hate after a year..!

good luck~ ^^

@monorail hey! you're pretty cool, y'know?

and i'm not just saying that because of this post--you're genuinely absolutely rad, and i hope you can appreciate yourself as much as those around you do..! ^^

@baslow i haven't researched all the options, but i found that tusky worked leagues better than any of the other things i've tried with talkback (the built-in android screen reader)

i ended up setting it up so all content warnings would start expanded since navigating made it easy enough to hear a warning, and just skip what followed if i didn't want to interact, rather than needing to hit a button if i was interested

i also found the pwas or web were a always a nightmare compared to apps

@sagesharp@mastodon.technology @eldang it was laid out so there was a main theatre where the main talks would happen, so you could see people all just gradually pile in before those began

there were breakout rooms for several topics after talks where you could go and do something extra with others relating to talks you especially liked

there was also a few general hangout areas, one with a stage, and special rooms you could do other fun things in

of course, every connecting hallway between was also social space

@sagesharp@mastodon.technology @eldang oh! it's open source too

@sagesharp@mastodon.technology @eldang roguelike celebration used a browser mud where you could move between rooms and talk with people who were in the same places as you, a lot had special purposes and some had video or audio calls you would see as you entered that you could join if you felt comfortable enough

it also had a lot of little hidden things that were fun to discover, and things you could visibly eqip

it was pretty fun! and maybe something like that could make the online aspect a little more social..?

for reals, embedding an nrepl in anything that runs on the jvm is extraordinarily underrated, and definitely one of my favorite hobbies i'll probably always take with me

it's just kind of incredible i can just like...take something i already extremely appreciate and introduce it to places that usually wouldn't have it

it's just so ridiculously useful, that i can just introduce it on those terms alone, and that fact it's also my favorite language is just a fun little bonus

even though the main reasons for pulling it out often involve scary circumstances, every time i get to use clojure for my actual work work, it's just such a breath of fresh air to use that it doesn't really matter

hee, words really can't put how grateful i am that it's a thing we can use
