I'm watching youtube videos on compiler design, and...the presentation is terrible. I watched someone spend ten minutes explaining something using a graph and step-by-step walking of the graph (and a bit of explanation of a bunch of rules), and it would have taken half the time to put a timeline on the screen and show the effects and side-effects on the timeline. And that would have opened up enough time to work a half dozen more examples using the same graphics. I'm really, really tempted to do better...

ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online

I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players

ssh snakes.run to join!

The formal automagic certainly feels real: "The consolidated policy suite now runs, but it correctly flags its own implementation under defensive-fallback policy. I’m fixing those structural issues directly in policy_scanner_suite.py (removing sentinel-style control flow) so the new path is policy-clean by construction."

Well, that was a nice thing to be able to wake up to in the morning. Hats off to the Codex folks. Give it good enough tooling, governance documentation and instructions, and it can take a royal mess and clean it up. (To be clear, the repo in question is a formal methods static code analyzer that also understand the repository governance data, including the metadata around design documentation and work-tracking state; if it comes up green on its own repo, the repo is clean by the repo's own definition. Of course, I need to verify that it didn't simply semantically null everything out, but the instructions had guards against that kind of risk and halt conditions against changes that went against the documented system design intent. Not that that's perfect, but there's still version tracking and extensive commit history to rewind if it effed up too badly. Defense in depth...) #programming

I'm extending this opinion to dataflow and control flow dependent on conflating variable contents with variable semantics like truthiness.

I'm coming to a mind that sentinel values like None and NULL are ways programmers use to manage their immediate cognitive load...and I'm coming to a mind that the presence of these sentinel values are intrinsically technical debt. And that the existence of the values is an architectural smell. (This is a gradiated view; I think sentinel values have their place...on the other side of an airlock whose function is to not allow stuff like sentinel values (or other absurdities) reach the interior of the system.)

One of those things you might not know. Shift-(scroll wheel) allows you to scroll side-to-side. Which is really handy when a UI widget doesn't wrap its contents, and also doesn't expose a horizontal scroll bar.

#gabion is coming along awesomely. I just used it to provide hard, semantically-analyzed data for Codex to interpret. It identified a bunch of feature work that I did that I hadn't documented first (opportunistic...and much of it not even committed yet). Pardon me while I split Codex's interpretation of gabion's self-analysis across multiple toots.

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts! there they are standing in a row! Give them a twist! a flick of the wrist! That's what the showman said!

Odd duck, him. Kinda screwy. As ducks do...wop. Do-wop. Do-do-ditty. Talking bout the boys from new York City. But we're braiding here, and we could be talking about hair, rope, categories, corn rows, three-strand plait or hex identities. We've got whimsy, biology and formality here, and I've placed them under these three shells--er cups, now watch closely, that's the name of the game. Now we lift...and I just lost the game.
