programmers on my home timeline: ah yes well i hacked the bios and divided pi by the square root of the big funny calculus symbol and now im able to decode strings into a high tech cryptologlggygjgn stack development git
me: ahh yes. the computer. i know it.
@mirzaba same for me.
i'm embracing the fact that i'm one of.the few trans girls that can't code out there. we should have our own pride flag.
@mara I mean like. im middling in coding for games and get the basics but other than that im very code-dumb
@mirzaba oh ok. i dont know shit, i feel like a hacker when i open the terminal. i'm ok with hardware though
@lanodan yar. i love punk literature, glitchiness, and cyber aesthetics.
@mirzaba my experience on mastodon
@mirzaba
Which big funny calculus symbol?
@DialMforMara the lambda
@mirzaba oh god there's a branch of semantics that uses lambda calculus and i tried to understand it once while TA-ing the class
@DialMforMara I one day hope to have not only the spoons to fully absorb it, but the attention span to pay attention long enough to figure out how lambdas work
@mirzaba hi, can you tell me how to use the computer for anything other than programming please?
@hirojin
I can!
@mirzaba big "oh..." notation
