Before Gen Z invented Aura Farming, previous generations only had Aura Hunting & Gathering

@sierra this is what evolutionary anthropology is about mostly but there's also a bunch of overlap with evolutionary psychology which is full of stupid chuds so i don't trust it

female liberation comes whens all women remember that they do not have to only Receive, they also have the choice to Take #Alpha

I think that it’s extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customers got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don’t think we are. I think we’re responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. Above all, I hope we don’t become missionaries. Don’t feel as if you’re Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn. Don’t feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What’s in your hands, I think and hope, is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more.

starting next tuesday (5/12) at 8pm PDT we will be starting our lecture series covering SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs), a classic textbook of computer science. all are welcome to join in -- despite its stature SICP is intended as a text for new programmers. regardless of whether you have any interest in the Scheme programming language or functional programming broadly i believe you will find something worthwhile in this series. every tuesday and thursday we will stream one lecture from the original MIT course covering the text. before each lecture i will post the relevant chapters that it is recommended you read beforehand. there are also accompanying exercises that i highly encourage you to at least dabble in -- obviously they won't be graded (i'm not a TA, ain't nobody got time for that). all lectures will be streamed on my cytube channel.

attached to this post is a PDF of SICP (you can also find it in other formats for free elsewhere on the internet). for the first lecture i recommend reading up to section 1.2.4.

SICP uses a teaching dialect of the programming language Scheme similar to the R5RS standard (but not quite). for compatibility i highly recommend you download Racket. Racket supports sub-languages using the #lang feature. for simplicity you can use the DrRacket IDE provided with Racket, or you can use #lang sicp with your favorite text editor (emacs )

happy hacking :3

@sierra ok true i agree

@sierra that's not even fucking true . plants fuck and even fungits fuck on occasion

@nyx @salt @coolbean @fiore i want a slowburn realist epic about sailors and ruffians in a port town, depicting the alow collapse of their lives before a major tonal shift to paranoid claustrophobic handheldcam aesthetics as they are whisked away to man a vessel, the madness of the situation escalating until a mutiny at which point they become pirates and it gets more fanciful, with a romanticism of the sea and a pirate life contrasted against the consequences of the brutal conditions that brought them there

@morrigan “ We are a neo-colony. I don't hold the belief— at risk of being redundant—that rights are progressive. That is to say, the idea that as time passes, and as social movements and population sectors gain ground, there is a guarantee that living conditions have actually improved for every vulnerable population.” holy shit she gets it
