Was just thinking about how much I've missed teaching the short-lived "Computer Science: The Good Parts" course that @jeffcohen and I put together back in 2018.

Having two back-to-back days where we built logic with actual hardware (breadboards, transistors, chips, etc.) one day followed by building everything again with lambda calculus the next day was an absolute mind-fuck. And in the best kind of way.

It's the kind sharp U-turn you can't pull off in almost any kind of normal course.

Hey all, the Auschwitz Museum is here on Mastodon, let's get those follows going.

@auschwitzmuseum

While following a lot of people can populate your Home feed significantly, sometimes people (like me) end up boosting a lot and that can unexpectedly hinder your own experience.

So if you like someone's specific posts and don't want to follow their boosts, you can go to their profile under the [...] button, and select the "Hide boosts from account" button.

There is no algorithm on Mastodon. You have ownership and control over every filtering decision instead of some robot.
