I am disappointed I didn't get to ride on more peoples' shoulders.

This was probably the best scene

I scratched all the walls and carpets

This sub-plot/mechanic was the best one

This is definitely how hacking works I am a Professor of Computer Science.

My poor little friend

I have completed Stray. It was short and a little incongruous (the number of fetch quests people give A CAT is .. well okay), but pretty excellent anyway, and refreshing to see an original game.

This is not what I signed up for I wanted to be a cat.

When did this become half life?

I'm working on a tutorial on implementing Racket hash-langs, assuming no knowledge of macros or modules. I've finished a draft of the first part, which starts from a whole-program interpreter and builds a hash-lang from that interpreter. Feedback welcome: https://williamjbowman.com/tmp/how-to-hashlang/

The next part will take the whole-program interpreter and turn it into a macro-embedded language, implementing a hash-lang “the right way”.

Also saw moon

There’s still room. I might plant peas. But should build something for them to climb. Probably out of blackberry cane.

I also found a lot more potatoes. I probably didn’t get them all.

Progress. I have planted kale, potatoes, and green onions.

While I was out with my tools, I reclaimed the sidewalk from the Himalayan blackberries. They’re out for blood.

Spent another few hours reclaiming the garden plot. To the left, you can see the second plot, which I haven’t started on. To the right, the overgrowth that was in there.

PL Twitter is debating whether or not academia is a meritrocracy and I just want to jump in and shout "actually, meritocracy is bad".
