I guess I can still shill things on here.

I'm alive and working at Antithesis in London. It's been fun watching this slightly mad Hegel-themed project take shape

So I wrote a new property-based testing library

@meekaale @Meaningness You should 😀

[Lucy Keer 🪣 @drossbucket]

I’ll log in occasionally to check notifications and the odd thread, otherwise see you around on whichever parts of the internet are still functional

[Lucy Keer 🪣 @drossbucket]

Morning, just passing through. Twitter break has been good for me and unlike previous times I feel no urge to come back, so I’m extending it indefinitely

[Lucy Keer 🪣 @drossbucket]

Off twitter until after the US election, have fun everyone

[Lucy Keer 🪣 @drossbucket]

@s_r_constantin Yes to all this, thanks for articulating it, it’s been bugging me too recently

[Lucy Keer 🪣 @drossbucket]

@Malcolm_Ocean For some reason timezones are only intuitive to me if the magnitude is large enough, like New York is obviously - and Singapore obviously + but European ones mess me up

Thread for notebook posts, first one is here https://t.co/IRWXNnEoys

[Lucy Keer 🪣 @drossbucket]

Experimenting with having a notebook blog, and also testing out Ghost. Here's the first post, on why I'm fine with my second brain being a total mess

Why single character variable names in maths make sense even though programmers don't like them https://t.co/1Bn6SaVuqy

@visakanv I laughed out loud like an idiot in a coffee shop earlier reading this https://t.co/aFIT6MlWFu

[Mikael Brockman @meekaale]

@nosilverv tfw he comes back like hey guys so I'm back from my 500 day salad cooking retreat and it totally healed all my complex trauma. however it also created a new and even more horrible trauma,

[Visa is doing marketing consults (see pinned!) @visakanv]

a course with only two students that you travel 80km to teach every week can still be a great success if they happen to be particularly good students

@s_r_constantin I like the type where the lecturer writes everything on the board and you copy it down, if I'm in the right mood for it.

Everything between that and "entertaining story" tends to be annoying

[Lucy Keer 🪣 @drossbucket]

@sedatesnail That doesn't even rhyme, at least I understand why it's "man and van" variations here

[Lucy Keer 🪣 @drossbucket]

@DRMacIver @michael_nielsen Something feels off to me in the same way, at least for my kind of taste.

Like with that Littlewood quote, I've been going in the opposite direction of listening to more random small composers that people mostly ignore now and it's really deepening my appreciation of music

[Lucy Keer 🪣 @drossbucket]

@meekaale good bucket

[Lucy Keer 🪣 @drossbucket]

@connerdelights @lisatomic5 Haha, something very funny about giving drunk people a "tip this pint of liquid over yourself" button to press

[Lucy Keer 🪣 @drossbucket]

Ok that's enough of that

[Lucy Keer 🪣 @drossbucket]

Unblocked the For you tab to get my weekly dose of brainworms and it's weirdly good? Whatever they've done to it, they should keep it like that

[Lucy Keer 🪣 @drossbucket]

I still couldn't stand to keep it unblocked permanently, but it was normally like that I'd consider using it more

[Hazard (going to vibecamp) @natural_hazard]

like, "math trauma" is a very coarse and quite overt/obvious version of this. i think it can get very specific, like "i jive with most of abstract algebra but rings make me subtly sad such that i never spent much time on them"

[Hazard (going to vibecamp) @natural_hazard]

i feel like various content specific emotional cruft is the dark matter of the STEM world
