    Having a hard time not reading this as a challenge. Must resist urge to design one transistor PWM-controlled boost converter.

    Alternative goto semantics would work, though. Just like using a variable x captures the value at the time of closure creation, using a label captures a continuation which jumps to that label.

    Welp, on second thought this doesn't actually work with the semantics I had in mind for 'goto'. I define 'goto' as to maintain the environment of the jump site which means my "callcc" operator just calls f with the identity function.

    Fun fact: if you allow 'goto' out of closures, you can implement continuations: callcc(f) := ( return f(value -> goto continuation(value)); continuation(value): return value; );

    My therapist: "So what do we do when we're unhappy but can't quite pinpoint what we're unhappy about?" Me: "Meow a lot?" My therapist: [camera shifts and reveals both to be cats] "Exactly"

    We did speak to one principal of another school who asked weirdly specific questions about my mental health. Thinking back now, was that even legal?

    “Moreover, his parent will report the bully and take steps to assure that it will not happen again, and the child will typically be released from the trauma.” Or, give up when it turns out catholic schools are good at covering things up. was right about trauma.

    Still not sure whether I should go to the Plan 9 workshop later this year. Last time I tried to meet people I ran away because of anxiety and then freaked out wandered through London. I would like to have some irl friends but man it’s hard.

    Apparently there's some kind of "Brexit" thing going on today. Whatever, I'm not going.

    The O(...) notation is always just an approximation and trying to differentiate between O(N^3) and O(N^3*log(N)^2) is like converting an imperial cooking recipe to metric to four decimal places.

    Caring about logarithmic factors in O(...) time complexities is so pointless. Going from N=1,000 to 1,000,000: O(N) means buying 1,000 as many computers O(N^2) means buying 1,000,000 O(exp N) means becoming God. O(log N) means buying one extra computer Who cares

    The adult peasants ... stubbornly refused to make deductions from given premises. “All bears are white where it is snowy. It is snowy in Nova Zembla. What color are the bears in Nova Zembla?” “I don’t know, I have never been to Nova Zembla.” My heroes.

    As a tangent, should really be subtitled "David Chapman DESTROYS FACTS and LOGIC."

    Common objections seem to also be cases where logical deduction works fine if you babysit it (which kinda defeats the point?). Transitivity is especially lacking in real-world applications. A=>B and B=>C does not imply A=>C Sorites Paradox is a great toy example of the problem.
