So you’re telling me I can’t just add a very small number to a very large number and get a precise result? That’s wild!   @gosha I love this website and post it every time floating point comes up Looks like the UK government is building an app that's going to allow digitising some ID docs, starting with the driver's license. I hope they find a way to just stick it in the Apple Wallet (or Android wallet), instead of requiring you to use their own app! I wrote a post about how to set up your Doom Emacs (on a Mac) to study #SICP. https://gosha.net/2025/sicp-emacs/ @gosha About 12 years ago, I did almost all exercises in SICP. It was well worth it. There are a few that I glossed over and want to revisit, but now that it has been so long, I will probably read and work through it again. After a long career in recruitment, my friend James reconnected with his inner artist and has been working on wood sculpture pieces over the last year or so. He just completed this impressive one, called "Capitalism 2025", just in time for the orange man's inauguration. #theWorkshop https://sites.google.com/view/james-baird-art/2025/capitalism-2025   @gosha My lack of faith made it really hard to "get" mathematical induction in school. Is the music that plays during interludes in the SICP lectures from "Switched On Bach" by Wendy Carlos? Example: https://youtu.be/-J_xL4IGhJA?si=JjJuioXWDk-SmMvD&t=3372 @gosha hmmm. that is Bach on a synthesizer… i don’t recall that particular tone or tune on my copy of Switched On Bach, but is it possible Wendy made several records? I’ve been reading the intro to SICP, and I’m like “Yes..!! Haha, YES!!!” Spirits and sorcerors and spells, this is what computing should be all about! This year, I’m investing in knowledge. The plan is: 1. ANSI Common Lisp I’ll be posting how it goes!   Via @vindarel: know-how for building web apps in #CommonLisp https://web-apps-in-lisp.github.io/  @gosha I remember there being tutorials like this for Clojure back in 2012 or so, and they were really useful for a beginner, so it's nice to see this kind of thing for Common Lisp as well! I love it when families have a website under their own domain name, and then family members have a subdomain with their own website. Feels very wholesome! Reminds me of an earlier time when some families published their own newsletter or something like that. #TheGellerYeller |
@Jaden3
I'll be 65 in March. And I'm very happy to follow you & learn things about your culture. I think you're one of the youngest people I follow, too. I do hope you can find some more young people.
@Jaden3
Hey, Jayden, I live in W. Wisconsin, raise sheep, and run a restaurant. Great to have you join us. If you are looking for certain groups to talk to try hashtags. You can set your account to follow them and include the tag in your heading so others find you. For ex. Those I follow include #SheepOfMastodon and #TurtleIsland. Try some word combinations you think others might be using.
@Jaden3 20 year old here! There are a lot of people here, but yeah, it leans quite heavily older and whiter. Happy to meet another young person here though!
