For a few years now, I've been wondering if I fit into the Free Software world. It feels very much like we need one that's specifically anti-fash, anti-capitalist, and pro-labor, but still focused on empowering users with the freedom to use their devices as they see fit. Sure, there are individual projects like that, but as far as a movement.. that's never really been the focus.
"“There is that sense of theatre with fire and flames,” says Jeremy Pang, a third-generation Chinese chef in London and founder of the School of Wok. “It feels quite traditional and exciting. But we have found that we can get just as high temperatures, and just as good cooking, with electric.”

Just wrote a fun little algorithm for iterating through all grid positions within X euclidean distance from a center, roughly in order of distance but also mostly ensuring each position yielded is at least diagonally adjacent to the previous. It's a fun problem to think about with lots of design tradeoffs and many valid solutions.
My solution requires that the origin be on the grid (I think?) and uses a bunch of caching instead of a bajillion distance checks, although I don't actually know what the memory/speed tradeoff is like or whether there are any gains at all (could be net losses, which I'm starting to wonder about more as I write this post). Thankfully I don't expect performance to be very critical here anyways, and doing the caching actually helped separate some logic in a useful way.
A fun little diversion from bigger stuff in the project and a reminder of some of the joys of programming design at a small scope. Feels kinda like mastering the local town's minigame while you're stuck on the main quest in an RPG.

Halo Reach: flying around in space
I am, apparently, a little way through the game, and I restarted halfway through chapter 3. The difference in gameplay from the first Halo is marked, with increased reliance on team members and communication, and a move to large scale set pieces rather than small-scale battles in corridors from one waypoint to the next. The world feels a lot more empty and open, and you have a sense of partaking in a massive war rather than an…

When we encounter something that promises enjoyment or discovery, the brain’s reward system becomes active.
One important pathway runs from the ventral tegmental area,
a dopamine-producing region in the midbrain involved in motivation,
to the nucleus accumbens, a structure that helps generate feelings of reward.
Dopamine is often described as a pleasure chemical, but that is too simple.
One of its key roles is helping the brain identify opportunities worth pursu…

MX Linux seems to be a very polished product in the sense that a lot of work has clearly gone into it - and into trying to make it pretty friendly. At least compared to how things used to be. On the other hand it also very much feels like late 90s Linux where everything is cobbled together from all kinds of bits and things are named after application names rather than features. It is kind of fun to have to figure things out this way. Mint/Fedora etc. are so polished these days, you rarely ha…

Thanks to the #hiking community here, we now (almost) always have a water filter with us and we hardly dehydrated on our #cycling tours since.
I can barely say how good it feels to return without being terrible thirsty. Next issue I really need to solve is eating regularly and enough. Even though I had enough cereal bars with me, I more than once noticed hunger biting my stomach - and with this, a considerable drop of my physical performance.
But it was a lot of fun and joy nonetheless.

Every time I get a notification that someone has cited my article (with Sercan Şengün, James Bowie-Wilson, Yusef Audeh, Haewoon Kwak, and D. Fox Harrell) about virtual enfreakment of fighting game characters I feel extra happy. It's great when someone cites my more technical stuff too of course, and I'm not really under the illusion that academic publications are a real driver of cultural change rather than a lagging indicator of it, but seeing that indicator continue to indicate that people care about things like diverse representation in media even in the current political climate feels nice.
