generally I've seen folks go to mastodon.social when it opens up, then some folks learn what the federation thing is and trickle off to other instances that suite em better tbh :-u
Checking in on /r/emacs on Reddit and I see this!

@Nezchan like Real Names it's a bad idea as a global policy, but I can understand people feeling more comfortable with it. Also, like Real Names, they won't really know when you're using someone else's.
It's super cool how quickly Danny from the EFF jumped on this issue to inject some legal sanity: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/1847#issuecomment-294305367

JavaScript ebooks by @rauschma
"All of my books are free to read online and will remain so forever! I hope you’ll like them so much that you’ll buy the offline versions."
An approach I praise (and I do buy good ebooks in print too), cf. http://exploringjs.com/
Narrative Fallacies
"Such is the power of the Narrative Fallacy — the backward-looking mental tripwire that causes us to attribute a linear and discernable cause-and-effect chain to our knowledge of the past.
This necessary mental function serves us well, in general. But we also must come to terms with the types of situations where our broadly useful 'ordering' function causes us to make errors."

Neanderthal: Fast native-speed matrix and linear algebra in Clojure
Auf beiden Accounts angekommen.
Ist wirklich kinderleicht. Grade mal 32 Zeilen Code, davon allein 4 Zeilen lang diese Nachricht :-D
Nee ernsthaft. Mit den beiden libs lassen sich ganz einfache Scripts und sicher auch ein sparsames CLI basteln.
Schönes kleines pet-project im Grunde.

Paar Cents + Intro von mir zu Mastodon.
Regular Expression Matching Can Be Simple And Fast: a comparison of recursive backtracking vs. Thomposon's NFA approach: https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html

[Image description: a graph of time vs. input size n of matching the regex a?^na^n. Perl's curve grows exponentially, while the curve for grep only grows about linearly.]

Computer Scientists in Cartoons
John McCarthy is definitely one of those people who had a big influence on me early on:
/Here's the next cartoon in the series about famous computer scientists. Here is John McCarthy. The creator. Inventor of Lisp and the father of modern artificial intelligence./
Another look at the Fediverse! I'm building out some charts right now. Any surprise that mastodon.social is the largest instance by users?
