The entire grid is known as a “Tonnetz”, as explained in Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonnetz — except that unfortunately my convention (and JCB's) is up-down-symmetric wrt the one used in the Wikipedia illustration. 🤷 •8/19

speculative branching is bullshit. i know what i am doing, i dont need a stupid rock to decide how my program should run for me

We see what you did there, Pluribus.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.

having a REPL does not mean that the language is good, but not having one definitely equates to being bad

It seems someone found a magnetic tape at the University of Utah that may contain the only surviving copy of version 4 of Unix Operating System from Bell Labs (circa 1973): www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR-f... 🤩

Tussen midwinter en kerst herlees ik altijd De snoezige Snowijt ❄️ @deperfectepodcast.bsky.social

Ik kom er net achter dat mijn favoriete slogan "Minder inhoud, meer vorm!" bij Bruno Schulz vandaan komt ☺️

Vandaag is het eerste strookje van het eerste Suske en Wiske verhaal 80 jaar geleden! 🥰

Neutrinos zien? Kom kijken in de entreehal van Nikhef. www.nikhef.nl/news/kerstve...

Oh, en wisten jullie trouwens dat Kerkstraat een anagram is van Kerstkaart? Fijne feestdagen alvast! 😉

Just discovered #ocaml -dinstr for looking at bytecode for the #zam! 🥰

Autoformalize my paper, make no mistakes

Frozen chocolate actually fractures conchoidally! 🏺

Category theory be like:

Another gem that moves seamlessly from writers to mathematicians (and, I suspect, has a much larger scope).

I feel like I'm in Inception ☺️

I really think at its heart philosophy is one giant battle, taking place over many eras and nations, between people who are basically pleasant bureaucrats and people who are sexy murder poets, and it’s both super important and super boring that the pleasant bureaucrats must win.

I'm visiting a museum. There is *no* sign explaining what this is.

You only really notice how weird the Mercator projection is, when you include Antarctica. People tend to go on about Greenland being too big, but this is of a different order of magnitude ☺️

Preview knows the Portable Bitmap Format?! 😳

Huh, ocamlopt segfaults on a very modest source file of about 4.7 megabytes? 🙄 Well, I'm open for suggestions on how to proceed with this...

In one of his texts, Douglas Hofstadter suggests publishing a book called “Reviews of this Book” (you would first ask various reviewers to review the concept and collect their reviews into a book, then send them the result so they can update their reviews, and so on until a fixed point is reached).

Related to this, I keep coming back to rereading this every few months faultlore.com/blah/c-isnt-...

Two Men Meet, Each Believing the Other to Be of Higher Rank (Zwei Männer, einander in höherer Stellung vermutend, begegnen sich) from the series Inventions (Inventionen) http://www.moma.org/collection/works/62643

What would be a good acronym for the axiom that the Shepherdson–Cohen model exists (like AC is an acronym for the axiom of choice, and V=L for the axiom of constructibility)? And what for ZF plus this axiom (like ZFC for ZF + AC)? @joeldavidhamkins.bsky.social

Waiting for a mind-boggling proof to happen ☺️ Very nice talk by Sidhartha Gadgil.

It has come to my attention that not everyone is familiar with this masterpiece that is the song/clip ‘Amish Paradise’ by “Weird Al” Yankovic, so let me attempt to remedy this unfortunate state of affairs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOfZ...

This comment has a strong guns-don't-kill-people vibe.

Happy holidays from Jólakötturinn, the Icelandic fairytale cat who eats you on Christmas morning if your clothes aren't nice! Nope, he's not a moral lesson about keeping your clothes clean. He's just a reminder of the ever-present potential for senseless violence in an unpredictable universe! Skål!
