I learned just enough Rust this weekend to write a thermostat. Now I'm attempting to sous vide chicken with it.

New work this morning, weave and color experiment in oil on art board.

Masked this with a vinyl stencil as I've been doing with other things recently; stencil worked well but was a pain to remove because of smooth surface of the art board and the fragile lines webbing those internal diamond areas together.

Had to basically pull 'em off one at a time with tweezers while trying not to smudge anything. Stencil topography/integrity: a thing.

I love how many languages I see passing by on the federated timeline lately.

Didn't follow the http://mastory.social/ discussion. Anyone has a link?

But if some people considered that what they published in their profiles was not *public* (and published there information that can endanger them), they must be brought to understand that they were misled..

Indexing profiles is ordering information that is publicly available already and would help everyone on the network (and therefore help further users to join).

I hope that a common understanding will be reached here <3

@aparrish the problems at Project Euler (projecteuler.net/archives) seem to mostly exist between the two stages you mention, so it's a good resource for practice material.
hey mastodon, throw all your programming pedagogy links at me. I teach a lot of beginner programmers and I want to get better at it!

tl;dr Twitter was on its way to becoming a transformative utility before they decided to become a media company.

Today in #art shit getting me excited: the map projection artwork of Agnes Denes. Put together a MetaFilter post of what I could find; lots of individual drawings in museum collections, but you have to scratch around on the web a bit to find most of it.

@KSparda Matlab code can be cleaner for certain linear algebra tasks that are useful in machine learning but for the most part Python beats it in the data science realm. It seems like the community is gravitating towards Python overall.
@Rushyo one of the reasons I left my last job was I couldn't even do unpaid open-source work without approval of each patch.
