soc.octade.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
As an added service, we host a bunch of #WordPress sites for clients. It seems like keeping them hardened from all the bots who want in is getting to be a bit of a job. More than I want to dedicate to a secondary service.
Trying to decide if it's a worthwhile idea to create a blog about self-management (in a professional sense), projects I am working on (programming projects for friends), and things that junior #developers show and think about in their daily work. Oh, and managing teams of #devs.
Wondering if it's a worthwhile pursuit to help spread the word of my skillset to possibly shake the tree for side work.
Things got a little screwy, but I added parsing for the historic #sixel notation.
"P #0;2;3;4#3;2;3;4
#0abcde$
#0abcde-
#3abcde$
␛\\"
CL-USER> (with-input-from-string (in *) (read in))
(BASICALLY-SIXELS (#1=(1/50 3/100 1/25) #2=(1/50 3/100 1/25)) (#1# A B C D E $)
(#1# A B C D E -) (#2# A B C D E $))
That output e.g. renders sixels in a #mcclim application pane & also makes it clear why that macro looks how it does. #commonLisp #programming #unironic #retrocomputing
Mine woukd be Newtonsoft's #JSON .net library.
I had just learned C#, and needed a JSON library. I have used many libraries in the past and had moderate expectations of more of the same.
This library taught me what a JSON libraryr needs to look like. It seemed like magic at the time.
Still does

part 1
Three days into unpicking this gnarly logic issue with my game and while I am absolutely non-mathematical enough to have wandered into an unsolvable maths problem I am also pretty sure that means I am also unlikely to have created an unsolvable maths problem in the first place... so just gotta keep chugging away at it I guess

- One week from today is #LambdaMOO's annual festival, April Fool's.
- Let's have a text based #MUD #bonkwave pool party / concert
Notably /after/ submitting my #ELS2026 #commonLisp #deepLearning article https://european-lisp-symposium.org/2026
we just had this great thread: https://gamerplus.org/@screwlisp/116286095082069619 I will read #bookstodon and #programming suggestions by @riley and others. #ai #DL #ML
#itchio #gamedev #programming #theory completely explainable game-embeddable #deepLearning system using #roc #statistics .
I coded this one simply and iteratively, since a few people worked on reimplementing my #commonLisp code to-be-simpler.
The gist is that I show that deep learning updates, and indicate training as well are a simple true-positive/true-negative/false-positive-false-negative equation of the previous time step in an eminently explorable way. #DL #AI
I've been realizing something about what works for me across programming, apps, and games.
I don't do well with:
• spatial navigation
• real-time reactions
• voice input
• memorizing lots of shortcuts
• passive learning
• audio-heavy systems
Audio is especially hard for me because it's ephemeral. It plays once and is gone. If I miss something, I can’t easily go back and reprocess it. Text works much better because I can reread it at my own pace.
What does work:
• keyboard-first interaction
• explicit state (coordinates, structure)
• step-by-step workflows
• being able to query instead of remember
• text-first systems where information persists
A big one: discoverability.
I need to be able to find commands (command palettes, TLDR, AI), not memorize them.
Another big one: interactivity.
I learn by doing, with feedback. I need knowledge checks and guided practice. “Go build something” without structure doesn’t work for me.
This pattern shows up everywhere:
• why I prefer VSCode + CLI over web/mobile apps
• why audiogames don't work for me but text-based systems do
• why some MUDs work (coordinates, pathing) and others don’t
• why I'm focusing on Python and tooling instead of frontend
Realizing this has been really helpful. It's not just preference. It's a consistent interaction model that actually works for me.

Soo. I think that the #worldModel #ontology stuff is about as close as the world is going to get to saying #lambdaMOO #programming people
are and have always been completely right about the #future, #technology, reality and #vr and living in, reasoning about, building and extending this reality.

Finally pretty happy with my "programming ls" example. This is a good programming with conditions first blush, I think.
Programming with signals and restarts that a run-time handler-bind hooks into gives a program, such as my %%ls here, *forward compatibility* not just *backwards compatibility* - which I explore as a property of ansi common lisp itself.
Thoughts!
