High performance data, particularly array processing, time series, graph stores, geospatial and finance. Latency nut, metaprogramming obsessive.

I have a single header C lib, app.h, which I use all the time to create a surface I can draw on. It is what I use for most of my stuff.

I just made a template project for it, including github actions to build it om win/mac/linux/wasm

Its really kinda sad that even user friendly languages like python are here, so for once I will talk about my true expertise on here: Iron's guide to getting started with Python.

I never had a morning or daily routine, so I wanted to explore making one since I don't work currently (nor am I looking for a job). Turns out the way is to ask my body what it wants at any given time, which I was never taught to do

One of my favorite things with learning about new programming languages is seeing all the "small ideas" that could easily be picked up by other languages. Here are some examples:

[Catherine @whitequark]

C is a managed language and libc/ld.so are its runtime https://t.co/G4NR9d5dQi

One of life’s small pleasures is seeing people say that nobody ever unit tests SQL code and then you get to point out you wrote a 100% pure T-SQL test framework over 10 years ago and use TDD for production SQL code 😏.

@chrisoldwood We've had one of these for 18 months, and even now every time I use it I cross my fingers because I'm convinced this time reality is going to reassert itself.

[Aella @Aella_Girl]

one of the most ominous papers i've read, where ppl training AI to discover ways to improve human health instead go "hm, i wonder what happens if we just flip the direction of training from 'help' to 'hurt'"

“Do somethingism” can be characterized as extreme safetyism in ends and total recklessness in means.
