welcome to my blog, you can call me Q or {invalid-identifier, press enter for stack trace}. i'm in my 30s, nonbinary (they/them). i’m a comp sci nerd who loves compilers, also into maths, ttrpgs, wizardposting, robot girls, and pretty dresses. realistically though i mostly just reblog/shitpost stuff i think is funny or neat.

ask me a question off this list!

minors dni and terfs fuck off because apparently that's a thing i have to say on this hellsite?

dont do this to me ping pong the animation and zone of ender are still relevant and good ;_;

you can join my party instead, the PS2 is still like, slightly outdated but not retro, and anime from 10 years ago is very much recent i even know what a VHS is

[virtualgirladvance]

I dont know how to reply that doesnt make this weird for at least one of us so im just gonna pet your head and go back to updating my sona to look like the inside of a weyland yutani junk recycler

[recursive-wizard]

wait, these are retro?

things programming is tier list:

S+: programming. why metaphorize it

A: a fiber art. the jaquard loom's influence has never waned. tips and tricks passed down informally.

B: Engineering, Business, Accounting. yeah fair

C: Humanity or science. oh ho ho we do like to flatter ourselves don't we

F----: magic, spells. im killing you I'm killijg you with hammers. guy who has only seen boss baby

Alright, I thought this blog was dead but I'm going to go into this. "Programming isn't magic spells" is literally the stupidest take I have ever heard. Computer science, at its extent, and in its essence, quite literally about figuring out magic spells.

Computer Science is about what knowledge is, how to discover it efficiently, and how to teach a computer how to Know Things. And the art of computer science is about how to make those attempts at knowledge faster and more efficient. It lives at the edge of exploiting mathematics to make fictional ideas a reality, and it does so everyday. It does so as I type this, as I scry to find the fastest path to the local grocery store, as I explain how a compiler pass can be written in one-fifth the code while being more efficient and cleaner to maintain. What is magic? If you define magic is breaking the laws of thermodynamics (read: evocation), then I suppose you're right that computer science can't do that. But it can do illusion, and divination, and if you own a 3d printer it can even do conjuration. Minor abjuration is even on the table, frankly. Why does it matter if I can explain all of the components, and all of the details are real and tangible? Okay. Why do you think in stories that wizards go to school?

I have tomes of knowledge on a shelf that describe the reality of truth, and how to find it efficiently. They describe how to do so in applied ways, automatically, and to the point that it allows us to interact on these stupid glowing rectangles. Which part, in particular, is not magic? "It's just a recipe?" It isn't, not for a new tool, not building it the first time, not building custom ones. It's imagination and invention and math, applied and running to make something incredible. And if you don't think that is true, please read this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root If your rebuttal is "I just glue together react and docker, I am not talking about computer science," then I am truly sorry you don't know the joy of programming. i am gonna recur and then recurse you

"This movie isn't boss baby" is literally the stupidest take I've ever heard,,

[recursive-wizard]

lmao the tag

i have never played 5e, the schools of magic were in 2e adnd, and i figured dnd was a reasonable reference point since i can’t find people on this webbed site who have played ars magica. next time I will be sure to reference the magic systems laid out by the hermetic order of the golden dawn to establish my “nerd cred” correctly 🫡
