Diversity is indeed very important.
We are the children of diversity
252 million years ago, 96% of all marine species and 70% of all terrestrial vertebrate species became extinct. All those species were adopting the same 'design pattern', mineralized skeletons
It seemed a good design. It turned into a common trigger that wiped out all those species that had made use of it
We are the children of those few species who were 'different', in that they used other patterns
Diversity is resilience.

Hi, fediverse!
I'm currently studying #CS. My interests include #FP, especially #Haskell, #verification and #plt. I also work with #Coq.
Outside of academics, I do a lot of sports. Mainly #running, #cycling, #bouldering and #swimming.
I might not be doing daily uploads again for a while but I'll try and post my sketches at least weekly. Here is one right now! Just trying to play with style. #art #sketch #conceptart #doodle #ink #pen #sketchbook #cute #traditionalart #creativetoot #mastoart
Someone trying to sell anarchism to a functional programmer:
Society itself would be stateless!
Sometimes the Fediverse makes me feel lonely, or at least an outsider.
A long-shot, but...
About 8 months ago I had been following a #French #writer on Masto (at my former mammouth.cafe account, RIP) who wrote short #novels of historical fiction (I think it was) in French and was looking for a native English-speaking collaborator to #translate the works into #English.
Anyone know who that might be?
On the way back from the beach we saw this bright bluegreen lizard. I'm pretty sure these are color-changing lizards since I saw very similar looking ones in several different colors - but I never actually saw them change, so I don't know for sure...
