Nerd. Super Saiyan. Per aspera ad scientiam. Also, that #PhysicsOfSoftware guy.

@TotherAlistair given the location, from what we can see I would say it's a megachile xylocopoides (aka "carpenter-mimic leafcutter bee")

All you need are bits! A compact, highly efficient solution for the Bank OCR Kata https://t.co/lB4jNA8GzE

I know many of you are taking some time off, but if you want to read something different, here is how I solved the Harry Potter Kata in a rather unconventional way: Harry Potter and the Magic of Common Good https://t.co/I7cTPSa4aZ

[Carlo Pescio @CarloPescio]

You know when you nerd out about something? Yeah, like that. So I had to solve the diamond kata using cellular automata.

@pills_ofscience :-) tutti i saturnidi sono bellissimi cmq, come dicevi diventano anche piuttosto grandi

@pills_ofscience la pavonia ha un'area chiara che la pyri non ha :-)

@mathiasverraes yeap, but following an HTTPS link from an HTTP site should not trigger a warning about the destination (works fine on chrome, mozilla, edge on w11). But yeah, the website needs a complete overhaul

[Carlo Pescio @CarloPescio]

@mathiasverraes and it's on https...

[Carlo Pescio @CarloPescio]

@mathiasverraes that's weird as the link to the paper is https://t.co/uZcUenvw51

[Mathias Verraes @mathiasverraes]

Just finished @CarloPescio's excellent paper on "Forces in the Physics of Software". Worth reading. https://t.co/lGH5p3X4oS

@TotherAlistair that's the win with the stereotypes, just slap one on each step and you're done

[Carlo Pescio @CarloPescio]

@TotherAlistair notes:
- semantics for the stereotypes can be given as diagram transformation
- still not an endorsment for activity diagrams as replacement of text
- still trying not to 🎣 but it's a lazy morning :-)

[Carlo Pescio @CarloPescio]

@TotherAlistair assuming again that "optional" refers to the entire bunch, the trivial way is to add another choice activity that can bypass the parallel. In practice, given that repetition and optionality are common issues, it's easier to introduce 2 stereotypes and simplify the thing to:

@TotherAlistair the larger issue of "are UML diagrams good for UCs" is a bit too much for twitter (hence the "not biting" part)

[Carlo Pescio @CarloPescio]

@TotherAlistair that's how you show "order doesn't matter, entire bunch can be repeated N times"
