Hindsight can be so judgy. I think I've finally worked out how to structure the data in my project so that it achieves everything I want whilst remaining intuitive and simple. And now it seems so damn obvious. I bet there's a German word for feeling simultaneously delighted and dense

“1/ Many will tell you why Python is great for teaching coding, so I'll tell you ways it's not. State is a bad default. It should be legal but safe & rare. The arc of programming is long and bends towards immutability. Its early use creates messes (eg, "a variable is a box".) ↵”
Might be time to take full advantage of this fediverse and switch away from this humongous instance. Any recommendations, folks?
Moa party settings updated so that nothing gets cross posted without the #xp hashtag from now on. Might be time to wind down the birdsite babbling and increase the micro-mammoth musings
Laura Kate 🏳️⚧️Mastodon has changed how I think. Twitter now seems like a server that doesn't want to federate with anyone else, and that everyone else has blacklisted. I'm in awe of how much sense that makes.
Paul B. AdamsTotally gutted to hear the #SciFi writer Greg Bear has died, aged 71.
If you’ve not read any Bear, and you’re into Hard SciFi, I’d throughly recommend:
* Eon
* Eternity
* Forge of God
* Anvil of Stars
* Heads (Novella)
* Moving Mars
“My pleasure to serve the Hexamon” — Olmy, Eon and Eternity
RIP

Thread, an attempt to explain the psychology behind Space Karen's current panic-suffused quandary. Seems plausible to me. https://twitter.com/drskyskull/status/1593465921498144769

Was initially horrified by the name of this video "Are Chainless Digital Drive Bicycles The Future" but for e-bikes they actually make sense. I remain horrified by the backing music though.
Are Chainless Digital Drive Bicycles The Future of Cycling?
Tim CarmodySome people have replied to this post with their favorite Calvin and Hobbes strips, and this one is mine. What I especially like about it is the implication that, as many times as we've seen Calvin and Hobbes waiting for the school bus, we've never seen his mom watching him out the window and dutifully retrieving the stuffed animal Hobbes from the street. Calvin is so often in his own world, which is independent and sometimes opposed to his parents, but they love him and foster his imagination.
