Student: It's a good virus.
Me: Like the gut biome.
Student: It's the kombucha of computers.
@JensHannemann It's not quite a double-ended queue, because you can't put things in the back and get them out the front.
Sedgewick and Wayne call a one-and-a-half-ended queue a "steque", but I'm still advocating for "sesquiqueue".
@pesh So are you advocating for making replies unlisted unless you're replying to yourself?
Remember, in a queue, items go in the back and come out the front. With a llama, it's the other way around. #DataStructures #ComputerScience #llama #llamas #LlamasOfMastodon #llamadon #mnemonic #pedagogy #drawing
@Pat Interesting. I see it. Do you happen to know if this is a general Mastodon thing or is it qoto-specific?

@bug Does it work the way you expect in numpy?
@pesh I think the only way you'd see it is if you clicked on some other post in the thread (or if, as in this one, you were tagged).

Your annual reminder that your monthly metrics will be down 10% in February because February is 10% shorter than January. Please do not contact your data team about it.

@grammargirl "THE GOOGLES DO NOTHING!"
@Pat I wasn't going so far as private, but merely "unlisted", so people aren't seeing the 13th reply toot in a thread popping up in their timeline without context.
Should I keep making my replies unlisted?
@SDR_Games Hmm. Maybe Kingdom Builder? Carcassonne? Tigris & Euphrates?
We always wash down a session with Go Nuts for Donuts.
We'll be playing this Saturday, the last day of "C" fortnight for #BoardGamesAToZ. We're planning to try CuBirds.

What's your current favourite game on Board Game Arena? We can't get enough of Sea Salt and Paper right now!

Low-key hoping the mimic is the best part of the upcoming D&D movie and becomes a running gag in the series. I imagine it will be voiced by someone like Patton Oswalt or Aubrey Plaza. "Nope, not a mimic. Come closer and open me up. All kind of shiny coins in here."

I love fine bindings. The craftsmanship of a good book. My problem is that the texts I love rarely are dressed in leather and hand marbled endpapers— There are a few — but many finely bound books aren’t the best books. I don’t want a copy of IDK “The Great Gatsby” or whatever.
So I love to find blank books— blank pages bound with such care and art that no sane person would throw that book away whatever the contents.
@catsalad Does it have a fan cam?
@b0rk's Pocket Guide to Debugging is excellent! Whether you're a new programmer or a veteran, you'll learn something new.
@old_lady_katie Fun fact: when he does contact juggling in this movie, those aren't his hands.
(Meaning they're someone else's hands, not that they're Bowie's feet.)
