Remember before I transitioned and people would put those "everyone wishes they were the other gender <NO THEY DON'T>" memes and I was like, well that's not true, *I'm* cis and I often wish I was a different gender

I think I might have even said so once in reply then thought I was being "rude" and deleted it immediately

*whoooosshhhhhhhhhhhh*

Oh whoops laying off your engineers and replacing them with AI didn't work out? You lost all the goodwill of your remaining employees and the skill of the ones who left? Poor baby, who could have done this to you eshumarneedi.com/2026/07/03/zu

Scheme is a Hoot! by @liberty gracefulliberty.com/notes/sche

Actually, @liberty has a lot of really good articles I've been enjoying recently. Here are some others:

- On Zig gracefulliberty.com/articles/r
- On LLMs gracefulliberty.com/articles/p

The others are good too! Always nice to find a nice new writer who's also on the fediverse. Especially if they've been playing with @spritely tech! ;)

Anna LibertyScheme is a Hoot Lately I've been spending time learning Scheme and using it to implement the concepts I'm learning in my physics classes as time permits. One of the most exciting things I've been doing with this is getting my Scheme to compile to the Web thanks to Hoot. One of the biggest challenges has been the fact that Hoot is unstable. It's currently at version 0.9.0. The documentation is decent, but it could be better. The error messages can be cryptic. But it's a massive accomplishment to see Scheme code running on the Web via WASM. It's even more incredible to know that it's running on a stack the team created themselves, not relying on Emscripten. My initial understanding of Hoot was that it could compile any Guile program to the Web. I quickly learned that I was mistaken when my code wouldn't compile. I then ported my code to use the Hoot versions of all of the functions, causing my code to be unable to run independently from Hoot. I then realized that Hoot actually supported more of Guile t

EDIT: I added context, because it may have sounded like I was joking originally. It really is a really thing. boys used to be knave girls and girls used to be gay girls

did you know that boys used to be called "knave girls" and girls were called "gay girls"? English is such a fun language
