Keep us updated, this is fun

I had Racket as an intro class language but haven’t really gone beyond the beginner level (I also took another beginner class in Fortran, long story but I don’t hate Fortran, lol) but at that level I enjoyed it. How similar is it to Clojure and what’s my next steps to actually being competent-ish (and maybe employable) from here?

I was drinking some blue raspberry flavored sparkling ‘water’ while reading this and… holy shit it is banana pineapple and cherry. O_O

Didn’t Red Wing move most of their boot manufacturing to China? They’ve got one or two lines still made in Red Wing MN but iirc it’s mostly China now.

I wonder if it’s the same dust that Brian May did his PhD on?

We use the Dawkins definition of meme here, this is probably fine.

Those birds choose to be in there and can get out, the one that fell down the chimney into my basement a few months ago needed help to get out.

Chimney swifts are neat birds. They can’t perch on flat surfaces!

Not saying that teacher didn’t suck, but method can be important in earlier math classes. So much of early math is about developing number sense and just understanding what is being represented by a mathematical statement. If a method is a stand in for a larger level comprehension, say, showing that 3*2 is also represented by three rows of two, ie

Just regurgitating a memorized number doesn’t show that deeper understanding.

The Albanian Eurovision entry this year (Zjerm by Shkodra Elektronike) absolutely slaps. Other than that, not much.

Insurance is an old-school MMO subscription model and gas is… has anyone tried a pay per hour played subscription model yet?

A Twitch streamer I like got into streaming Wildgate, I don’t hate watching it but it’s not interesting enough for me to buy myself. I’ve never gotten into multiplayer extraction shooters though so I’m not really the target audience. I’m on Linux so I probably can’t play it due to the anti-cheat regardless.

People went out with chalk and made it rainbow again earlier this evening.

I’m on Jerboa and spoiler tags work on here, it’s a very plain implementation though, just

and you tap on the arrow or the text to see the spoiler. I like it but it might not be that obvious you can do that.
