Screw sleep tracking apps, I track my sleep using DNS logs 😅

As of yesterday I've been putting out beatboxing content on tiktok every day for 60 days. Along with that, I have plans to start performing in my local area.

^ This is the extra long freestyle I did to celebrate 2 months of consistent content creation doing what I love. I fucked up the audio a bit (sunglasses hitting the mic) but overall I'm still proud of where I've ended up so far and what I'm able to do.
DMs open for collab, and please credit me if you use my music.

Foundations of Human Sociality

When I worked w/ Institute for the Future on "the cooperation project," we saw how insights abt human cooperation were fragmented among different disciplines. So we created these summaries. My original vision, not implemented, was to arrange resources on a visual clickable digital map: Hover over a node and a one sentence summary pops up; hold mouse down and a paragraph summary pops up; click through to see entire summary.

Okay, #introduction time! I'm Ell, and I love figuring out how things work. Been having a very gendery time as of late, getting to know my #trans #femme self in my 30's has been just so wonderful.

Dayjob is software dev, but I also studied #ElectricalEngineering and am always tinkering with and fixing things, both #hardware and #software.

Interests more or less at random: I do a lot of playing with #data and finding useful ways to present it, which results in various #maps and #charts.

Things I can talk a lot about include #emoji, how the internet works, and #space.

I'm into amateur #astronomy, I've got a small #telescope 🔭 and am always thrilled to use it to share the cosmos with folks.

I play the #piano reasonably well, #guitar and #clarinet less so, and enjoy singing as long as you don't hold me to the lyrics 😄​

I don't play a ton of games, but I've put a bunch of hours into #HollowKnight and still stream it occasionally, and also adore #Transistor and #Celeste. Also into #boardgames and such!

I've been thinking about a discussion format that harkens a bit to the old days of the FIDO-net, where you got your mail delivered via a download from your local BBS. This serves as a natural way to decelerate things - usually there's a day between you writing and people responding.

This could be done totally artificially, too. I mean, there's nothing wrong with also combining it with a batch download of daily messages for offline capability, but it's not a strict requirement.

my girlfriend and I are moving in together, and we're doin alright, but we could use like, $100 max to help us get some household stuff we need

we have enough on our own to squeak by but it would be so much more comfortable if we could get a bit extra

thank you so much in advance to anyone who can help!

Comment I just left on a PR: "YES!! I love this, always love to see more smaller functions, and this is a really nice self-contained chunk of logic to break out. Excellent call."

This is your semi-regular reminder to call out the good things in code reviews along with the changes you're suggesting! Coding is an inherently human endeavor, humans have feelings, and that is an attribute, not an inconvenience to be optimized away.

Also, this applies to many other feedback-oriented scenarios too, I imagine. When interfacing over digital mediums, I can always use more reminders that there's a person on the other end.

A beautiful recent paper from Deisseroth’s lab uncovering how heart rhythm affects the brain. Very inspiring on studying brain-body system.

Sad news - Daniel Ellsberg, the whistleblower of the Pentagon Papers, has incurable cancer. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and Ellsberg brought much needed light on the Vietnam War. The publication of the docs he leaked in the NYT and WaPo led to a critical Supreme Court decision on freedom of the pres. Justice Hugo Black (concurring in the judgment) frames the reasons why we need a strong press, which necessarily relies on whistleblowers, shedding light on the government.
