I am a slightly malfunctioning robot.

Dad nerd, software engineer by day, and also by night. #commonlisp #ruby #ocaml #typescript

I binge a lot of #physics, #math, #engineering and #retrocomputing youtube.

I collect #rpg books, but play approximately twice a year.
#callofcthulu #forgedinthedark #dungeonworld #minid6

I listen to a lot of podcasts.

I don't participate too much.

Recently been redesigning my personal webpage, and I'm pretty happy with it.

I spent much too much time on this tiny animation in the dark--mode selector that no one's going to notice lol

question for #ruby folk out there:

using the new `Data.define` classes, the `def something = @something ||= expensive` technique for memoization of derived values no longer works, because the instances are frozen by default.

Does anyone have thoughts on how to do this with `Data`? I could switch to `Struct`, but I like the immutability otherwise.

Miniature JVC model HR-3300, the first VHS VCR ever released in 1976. As seen in David’s room in 1983 WarGames. Multipart resin print with actual wood panels! 📼

the Home Depot and the Office Depot are well-established and even venerated in the average American community. but the lack of a Third Space Depot speaks to the destruction of our mutual bonds, the atomization forced upon us by our economic system, and the unfortunate fact that it is difficult to sell an urban park in a big box retailer

fascinating and pretty rad Sol LeWitt instructions:

I got to see a gallery of Sol LeWitt... installations, I guess(?) at MassMoCA a bunch of years ago with @Sarahdarahdoo - that museum was fantastic.

AI Generations: ChatGPT-3 vs ChatGPT-4 on Sol LeWitt’s Wall Drawings — Amy Goodchild

About six weeks ago, I used ChatGPT to implement Sol LeWitt’s Wall Drawings. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, this article explains what’s going on and contains ChatGPT outputs compared to human drawings. In that article, I used GPT-3, which was all that was available at the time. In this
