ok OCaml isn't multicore and that's daft

and parallelism in haskell is way easier so I guess I'll do this in haskell.

my main concern is that haskell isn't suitable for low latency applications? but we'll find out, I guess

decision zone™ 

trying to decide whether I do this project in OCaml or haskell

pros of OCaml
* practical usage of a language I'm learning
* it seems very suited to the project
* it's a cool language that deserves more projects

cons of OCaml
* it hasn't got some of the nice features of haskell (really good interactive mode, typeclasses, seperation of side effects)
* setting up the toolchain took me a while, which is a barrier to entry if anyone ends up wanting to help with this project

happy valentines day!! don't forget to give your local moon an awoo or AS MANY AWOOS AS POSSIBLE!!!!

mastodon feature to let people follow your public posts regardless of you allowing them to follow you or not is long overdue

i want to let people follow my public posts but i want to filter who sees my follower-only posts

lists could work for this but oops you can only add people you follow... i don't really get why

come on folks, please?

the haskell community 

it's honestly one of the few parts of computing (at least at my uni) where I felt like women were welcome

there's still shitty people in the community, but I don't feel unsafe

A massive announcement of interstellar proportions 

You know how I start a new blog every Valentine's Day? And how today is Valentine's Day?

That's right. Today is the day my item-by-item exploration of all the things in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri begins. And let me tell you - there are things in there. Come for the nostalgia value, come for the novelty value; stay for the immense amount of words you did not know you wanted to read about science fiction, past and present

It's valentine's day.
But screw commercialism.

It can be valentine's day every day of you want.

But regardless I'm going to hijack this corporate sales holiday by giving you all love and adoration for free.

Yes all of you.
You're valid and good and deserving of love.
You're not alone.
Even though there's physical distance, may love find you in whatever form, romantic, platonic, friendship, intimate, however. May it be good, and healthy, and fun, and warm, and comforting.

I wish you love.

valentine's day sappyness 

I'm not really in to celebrating holidays, but because it's valentine's day I just want to say

my partners and lovers are all amazing and I love them so much ✨ 💖 ✨
