So it seems we should do an #introduction. I'm a software developer currently working at a biotechnology firm in southern California helping build their first product. I develop in C++ and C for the flattened green pellets, I use Rust and Python in my spare time, hacking on a fringe biology-inspired computer vision thing. I am a Linux and i3 user and I hate your mainstream OS. Just kidding use what you want, just don't ask me for help! 😜
I am a fan of SpaceX, independent of the guy in charge, who is clearly a loon. I'm old as dirt, socially liberal and a recovering libertarian. I walk a lot and am a bad vegetarian. I enjoy smokey and/or peaty scotch whisky, and have never turned down a good IPA.

If you use #Emacs I bet you use isearch all the time, but only in its basic form. But what if you could use all of its rich features from a Transient menu? In my latest blog post, I show you how.

I've created a #blog post comparing the performance of standard library 'sort' calls in different languages. Chapel's sort uses composable parallelism to be 10x faster than other popular languages for a test sort on my PC.

Last new years I decided against getting fireworks. It's just too harmful to the environment. Instead I build this "reusable" rocket out of a d1 mini microcontroller and a WS2812B LED-strip. It is "lit" by pushing a button.
The kids really like starting the rocket.

@freemo Qoto.org is getting a little long in the tooth being apparently based on a mastodon version released in Oct 2020 (3.2.1). Any plans to update to a more recent base version?

Check your cognitive distortions.
Of course I'm not familiar with any of these! 🤥😅

Flying pigs are supposed to be the epitome of the impossible, and yet the grocery store is careful to specify that this is ground pork.

The #Republican brand is a potent blend of irrationality, immorality, and imbecility. It has no connection to conservatism, ethics, or governance.

I'm now convinced that the root of the OpenAI fiasco is that they successfully invent Skynet in the future but failed to program it to love humanity.
So one of the board members is a time traveler sent back by the resistance to prevent the creation of Skynet. But since they're a pacifist instead of using guns, they're using boardroom shenanigans. 😆
