If you are anywhere near the Metropolitan Museum of Art and have even the slightest interest in mechanism or machining, haul ass to see this show:

Guy just walked in to this pizzeria and ordered "a white slice and a real slice"
In Rust you can't just sort() a Vec of floats. You need to do a sort_by with a custom lambda expression to handle the edge cases, because floats aren't _technically_ well ordered.
I give you Rust: the "well, actually" of programming languages
and just like that i realized that "rofi-theme-selector" was a thing

Mozilla just laid off 70 fantastic people. If you can help them - open positions, offering helpful conversations and references, anything else - please say so.
Use #MozillaLifeboat as an umbrella tag for easy finding. (It's already flowing on the birdsite.)
If you've been affected, I'm happy to chat directly. Also have some open positions (see rest of this thread). But doesn't have to be today - take time to recover if you can.
Most of all: thank you folks for making the web better.

github.com/numworks/epsilon ---> at the bottom of the readme
it's a shame, because an OSHW calculator would have been quite an useful project!

I finally understand Pauldelbrot's #Triskelion #fractal formula enough to have extended it to true "dial-a-#Julia" parameter representation.
I posted more details here, also check the post I quoted (follow link back to original post) in this thread:

code and notes for the SFPC Code Societies workshop that I wrapped up last night, entitled "Computational exploration of magical and divinatory language" https://github.com/aparrish/comexmadivla including automated random word squares, magic words through noise applied to phonetic hidden states, oracle card vectorization, tarot t-SNE, etc.
