RT @gendercensus@twitter.com The fifth annual international Gender Census is now open until 1st March 2018!
http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/gendercensus2018
It's for anyone whose genders (or lack thereof) aren't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and the results are useful in academia, business, and self-advocacy.

Adventure in a a charity shop the second (1/?)
I never did show these "interesting things" two days ago.

First of all I found something that will upgrade my PC into the past millennium. I do love the box though.
Why does it have a joystick port? Is this something sound cards did back then?

annoyance at computer stuff
it took me nearly an hour to
* set up haskell to work in arch
* set up mercurial to work with github
both of these things, when I set them up on different OSes, took only a couple of commands and then waiting for stuff to download
but here? I had to mess around with so many config files and package managers and it's such a mess and I'm upset

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
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?
