    In biology, two things are isomorphic if they resemble each other. In mathematics, two things are isomorphic if there is a bidirectional structure-preserving map between them. In computer science, two things are isomorphic if the person comparing them wishes to seem educated.

    So, just as it says on the tin: 1. Recreational: Plenty of games and puzzles, no frameworks or build tooling. 2. Exploration: It’s about the pleasure of taking the programming road less traveled. 3. Recursion: Every problem and solution explores an aspect of self-similarity.

    Good morning! ICYMI, yesterday I announced my new book project, “JS Del Vuoto.” It’s a recreational exploration of recursion.

    Retweeting this because damn, it was every bit as good an album as I had hoped. Aretha Franklin. A big band packed with Jazz luminaries like Ron Carter. Standards. And an absolute command of her instrument.

    MATHS FANS! A rare treat for you. Tomorrow night, BBC4 will show The Joy of Winning - an hour long proper proper maths doc packed to the brim with glorious game theory. I think it might just be my favourite thing I've ever done for telly.

    The policing of women’s bodies must end. The “respect” that’s needed is for the exceptional talent ⁦⁩ brings to the game. Criticizing what she wears to work is where the true disrespect lies.

    Even if someone behaves inhumanely, be careful that you never treat them as inhuman. Your soul is in danger the moment you can look at a human being and see them as something less.

    I often thank police officers, fire fighters, medical professionals, and my sanitation engineers for "choosing a life of service." Service is service, in all of its forms.

    Why do we only view “service to ones country” in terms of waging war on the global south. How come this pat phraseology is never used for nurses, firefighters, activists, public defenders or teachers? So much suffering is laundered when liberals embrace these jingoistic cliches.

    Advice for conf speakers: When someone you care for is speaking, sit in the first row. Be there for them. Laugh at their jokes, _actually_ watch the talk (Twitter can wait), make yourself visible for them. Be the audience you'd like to have, and next time you will have it.

    My favourite thing about the Watergate scandal is that it promoted the "-gate" suffix, which makes no damn sense: As many have asked, was it originally "Watergategate?" I love how humans think and evolve. We don't have to make sense.
