all according to plan #AdventOfCode

(follow along for however long I keep this up: <https://github.com/betaveros/advent-of-code-golf-2020>)

oh yeah I guess I should say here that I wrote a post on the #AdventOfCode leaderboard: https://blog.vero.site/post/advent-leaderboard

state slate updated: https://techsolidarity.org/resources/state_slate.html

might hold off on donating until i have income again, but!

cory doctorow, "how to destroy surveillance capitalism": https://onezero.medium.com/how-to-destroy-surveillance-capitalism-8135e6744d59

accompanying fedi thread (mirror of birdsite h/t https://mastodon.social/@vinnl/104765435355691485 ): https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic/104756192200538899

wow!

(the very unscientific benchmark uses https://github.com/betaveros/advent-of-code-golf-2018/blob/master/day5-2.prdc , except ported forward — ß is now y)

i swear i'm gonna stop here for... a few days at least

hey these exist https://techsolidarity.org/resources/great_slate.html https://techsolidarity.org/resources/state_slate.html

if you are a u.s. citizen concerned about november and somehow have extra money to spare in spite of everything, you could do a lot worse than donating to these

small steps

one of my friends made this puzzlescript #puzzle game recently. i think it's pretty tricky (i'm nowhere close to finished) but really good! https://jacklance.github.io/PuzzleScript/play.html?p=cfdcc6e23f1fb3e9de2fd42fafaf4d4c

a few days ago i was prompted to look at perl 6 aka raku more closely and learned that its ternary operator was ?? !!, as in

my $result = $score > 60 ?? 'Pass' !! 'Fail';

coincidentally, ?? !! also perfectly captures my reaction to finding out about it
