Hi! My main skills are in #programming theoretical CS and #math. I'm interested in #foss, #ballet, #music (playing the #piano), #hex (the board game), and lots of other things I'm forgetting.
I've been taking time to relax and play after having most recently worked at #google. Some things I've been doing:
* teaching
* projects, e.g. https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2020/11/18/sound/
* #reading, mostly #scifi and #fastasy
A question: how many of you have friends who use Mastodon who you met elsewhere?
"Once we set up a system to react every time someone typed Command+C, we realized there was also an opportunity to learn about how people use our site. We were able to catalog every copy command made on Stack Overflow over the course of two weeks, and here’s what we found."
"One out of every four users who visits a Stack Overflow question copies something within five minutes of hitting the page. That adds up to 40,623,987 copies across 7,305,042 posts and comments between March 26th and April 9th."

#introduction #introductions Hi, how are you?
I'm a #musician & occasional #writer. A #freesoftware, #privacy, civil & digital rights advocate, #anticapitalist, pro-#feminist.
I make #ambient, #psychedelic, #electronic & generally #weird #music. I used to collaborate with musicians such as Daevid Allen & Gilli Smyth of Gong & writers such as Michael Moorcock. Interesting times. Nowadays I'm a semi-hermit living with my partner & son in an old farmhouse next to a world-heritage rainforest.
