re: linux shell thoughts 

Like, a shell script that reads files gets a "ReadsFiles" type tag. And one that writes files gets a "WritesFiles" type tag.

And then a script can only be run within a specific context - like, if you're writing a script that only reads files, you can't use any commands or other scripts that might write to files.

linux shell thoughts 

I have on several occasions dreamt of making an alternate command line shell for linux.

Most of my initial thoughts are making something functional (so you get even more expressivity and ability to manipulate commands).

But I also just saw something that made me think: what if it had safety systems as well?

Inspired by complex effect systems in dependently typed languages: what if shell scripts were given a type that indicated what kind of access it has?

re: Rayman 2 

Also: one of the things I love in the Rayman series is that literally every single entry is a reboot, but doesn't care about being one?

Who Rayman is, where he's from, and what the world is like and so on is so different from game to game

food 

Hmmm.... I'm feeling depressed, so I kinda want to go out and get a nice burger for dinner.

But also.... I really should be trying to eat less takeaway

Struck with sapphic thoughts, but alas I have 2 hours left of work

Rayman 2 

I love how in Rayman 2 you meet the actual literal god who created the world, Polokus.... And they're a long-armed frog in a silly hat.

irrelevant gripe 

The latest update for Firefox on Android has added "swipe down to refresh".
And it mostly is great... Until I'm trying to scroll up in mastodon and suddenly the page refreshes instead

I just went for a walk and found something very strange. Do any of you know what these are? Maybe a slime mold, maye a jelly fungus but I really don't know.

I made some aperiodic tiling coloring book pages (hat/t-shirt, turtle, polygonal spectre, and curved spectre). I put them on my blog with links to the 3D-printable files as well. divisbyzero.com/2023/06/04/3d-

Happy #Pride month! :alicehearttrans:
I'm not gonna stop making these posts until I get a job! Also, yes, I am applying in other places, not just waiting for suggestions here. Referrals help a lot and this job market is kinda bad! :aliceweh:

  • Comp sci degree
  • 1.5 years as a software test engineer
  • Python and NodeJS for my relevant experince, but I'm a fast learner and know a few others as well (Rust is a new one)
  • Same field, full stack web dev, sysadmin, or dev ops stuff is right up my alley
  • Looking for remote, but can commute (Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, USA)
  • I'm a trans woman, so clear acceptance/queer coworkers are a huge plus

I'm open to contract work and other positions than the ones I listed, but full time would still be best. DM for a resume or any questions, take a look at my site for some examples of things I do!
