software tinkerer and aspiring rationalist. transhumanist and alterhuman

I try to be very careful about CWing things. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible

I sometimes post NSFW/kinky/lewd things behind CWs. this should go without saying but if you're a minor please do not interact with anything lewd/NSFW that I post

I have very limited energy and am very shy so it might take me a long time to reply to messages sometimes, or I might not be able to reply at all. this is kind of an "output only" account for the most part, but I'm hopeful that I can change that over time

I sometimes use curly braces to {clearly show where a grammatical phrase begins and ends}, like that. you can think of them like parenthesis in code or math, except they operate on grammar instead

@rpgwaiter I’m ngl I’ve felt exactly the same way. I feel like there are a lot of underlying philosophies to why math is Like That but nobody has ever explained them to me so it looks to me like someone tried to invent a declarative programming language from first principles and ended up with something really ambiguous, messy, and cursed

math should really have a system to throw and catch errors. you can’t just say “no one is allowed to divide by zero” and then expect that no one will ever divide by zero by accident. here I’ll fix it for you:

div(a, b) = try(a / b) except(undefined)

now any time you try to evaluate div(n, 0) you simply get undefined instead! this is so much safer and I have a very strong and nuanced grasp of mathematics

I don't think I like Heathcliff very much but I am fascinated by people trying to explain what the heck is going on with Heathcliff.

@kasdeya what about radio buttons with "would provide answer if required" and "would prefer not to answer / is unable to provide an answer"?

@aperture I’ve lived in America my entire life and AM/PM time still confuses me. I have to pause and think to figure out if noon or midnight are AM or PM, to the point that I just say “noon” and “midnight” instead

@mioontje I’m glad you think so! 💙 genuinely I think your pics are some of the hottest on Fedi. it’s not just that you’re extremely attractive and have great clothes but you also pose really well and are amazing at photography and you know exactly how much to hide and how much to reveal, and it all comes together to just be, extremely good 🫠

@a_blahaj it is actually very Lisp-like! it’s a functional programming language with a “code as data” philosophy, where code is represented by nested datastructures. and you can even have macros which behave just like Lisp macros, except they operate on {the datastructure that defines a Trickster spell circle}

with that being said, the specific semantics of Trickster are different than Lisp and so are the datastructures, which threw me for a loop until I got used to it lol

Apart from the puppygirl and walkies part, we feel a little targeted by this 😅

... and we think a few other people might too 🤭

(Also, severe RSD symptoms look a lot like CPTSD... and BPD actually 🥺)

the Minecraft Trickster mod has all the syntactic clarity of Doctor Strange sigils and all the semantic clarity of lambda calculus. it’s like if a crazed mathematician was given an unlimited supply of coffee and one screenshot of Fullmetal Alchemist and told to invent a magic system. it is exactly as mind-bleedingly arcane as I always imagined fantasy magic would be

I spent three hours trying to create a very simple loop and now I can’t figure out how to recreate it. this is a recommendation btw. this mod is incredible
