# Understanding Functions using the "Function Room" narrative

I use narratives to learn stuff… and to teach, too

What's a narrative? It's a way of connecting events or facts in a form of a story

But I promised to talk about The **Function Room**…

so read on…

My mental image of a computer program is that of a small creature working in a room.

When you start writing a program, the Main Room is empty except for some shelves and a small red booklet called "built-in"

Monty — that's the name of the little creature doing all the hard work — will look around the room whenever you use any name.

_more in the next toot_

@evangreer This is great! Seriously, the video and song are both brilliant. Time to sleep but followed and will be checking out more of your music. Have a great morning, day or night, whatever time it is!

@elisehuard I watched the first two episodes tonight, it's very... tense. I feel very on edge watching it, but I'm excited to see more Capaldi.

Centralized social media had trained me to think in a certain way. "If you don't like it, go build your own..." is the popular phrase. The mentality seems to be that one central entity has to control it all, or social media can't exist.

Joyfully, #mastodon has proven that to be false.

I hadn't imagined anything like this could ever work this well. Pretty amazing. Props to the #fosstodon admins, @kev @mike @cooper @Tay0 @ru @grueproof. This is a great place to be!

Besides getting comfortable with #Mastodon, I am practising #Python in #Codecademy, and by the end of the day I want to understand what #Jupyter notebooks can do for me.

Who said fear!

Question for the #datascience and #dataengineering folks. What would you say is the most important task or activity that data engineers do or fulfill on a regular basis? Is that also the thing that takes the most time or causes the most resource constraints?

Gonna keep doing a few #introduction posts cuz it feels kinda nice to have a bit of a fresh start. A lot of you just follow me for my spicy tech policy takes, but for most of my life I was actually better known as a musician. Here's one of the music videos i'm most proud of, for my song #SurveillanceCapitalism off my album #SpotifyIsSurveillance. You can find it on #bandcamp or wherever else! youtube.com/watch?v=NvBHFLFllJ

@loutre@potate.space Overwatch 2 is playable, performance is slightly worse for me than Windows with a GTX1080 and I7-6700k. About 120 frames as oppose to 200.

I haven't played Fortnite but the website www.protondb.com is great for checking steam comparability, and the Lutris website will tell you if a specific tweak is needed.

Caught up with so started , I'm only one episode in and I've only seen Capaldi in his rendition of but I'm already invested.

Incredibly ominous.

I've just locked my Twitter account in an attempt to slowly wind it down.

Did you know that if you capitalize each word in a multi-word hashtag, #ScreenReaders can read them as words, but if you leave them lowercase, they can't? Well, now you know! So, for #accessibility, please capitalize words when there's more than one in a hashtag.

@ezied Very few areas of the U.K with a coastline as nice as ours, have a great day!

Obligatory ! My background is in architectural engineering and environmental design - I am currently a research associate at Newcastle University where I study how a person's immediate environment can affect their health outcomes. I am obsessed with street networks. In my free time you can find me at the allotment, or collecting interesting rocks on the beach.
