Black Friday? More like super duper colorful Friday! At least in Sandy, Oregon. #photography #pdx

Today’s #FollowFriday is for funny accounts, because I think we can all agree that the Fediverse should be fun.

Oh I guess I should do an #introduction.

I’m Chris a long time Open Source contributor, disabled veteran (pretty sure I am one of the first people to Linux in the USAF), long time multiple web site creator, I ran DevOps’ish, I work on containery bits at AWS (nothing here reflects the views of my employer).

I am here to share information and opinions I find interesting and have conversations with y’all!

Technology exists to improve human existence.

Happy Tooting!

A big #followfriday for more #Python, #data, and #technicalwriting folks: 👇

The "WORLD of QUANTUM" will meet next year in Madrid (May 23-25) ! Exceptional list of speakers announced! the place for Frontier Science, Technology & Industries to meet- https://quantumconf.eu/2023/

Today I will give a workshop on #livecoding using #FoxDot. I'm very excited but also very nervous. Huge thanks to @yaxu for inspiration and guidance, and also to the friendly folks in the #FoxDot Telegram group. Wish me luck!

I’m puzzled:

Is a programming language a language? 🧐

Please also indicate whether you consider yourself a linguist.

Grateful for boosts to increase reach 🙏

And I've got a handful of fidget rings to sell too!

@oschene I appreciate your lovely nautilus and offer you some turbinate snails…

@logicalelegance A very interesting approach -- I will try that. I worked on coiled shells a few years back, using cones. My notes are not good -- this one is called Excursus zayin or sometimes Raup's model 2a. #origami #CurvedSurface #developable

The hard part about software development is not designing a perfect architecture, but making a good enough one, having tough time-constraints.

Happy #FibonacciDay to those who celebrate! 🐚✨

We love finding the #Fibonacci sequence in nature and in #maker projects — like @jasoncoon's #electronic #art! 🤩

Where else have you seen cool examples of Fibonacci in action? 👩‍🔬🔎🍥

cozy in a mac rom scarf. specifically this is a slice of the ROM from a Macintosh IIsi. here's how it was made. i used @th 's script https://github.com/osresearch/prom/blob/master/hex2png and the mac roms on archive dot org https://archive.org/details/mac_rom_archive_-_as_of_8-19-2011

if you have ImageMagick already installed:

$ perl hex2png.pl -y 1280 -w 32 mac_rom_archive_-_as_of_8-19-2011/36B7FB6C\ -\ Mac\ IIsi.ROM \ | convert - maciisi.png

Then a slice four columns wide was taken of the resulting image and knit into a scarf. The scarf is 1280 pixels/knit stitches long and therefore wraps natively in the columns of the scarf. if you want to make your own, you'll need a hacked consumer knitting machine or an industrial knitting machine or someone with a setup to machine knit it for you.

Here is how I set up my single-user self-hosted Mastodon instance. It was easy if you're a bit familiar with Linux and domain names. No need to be an expert.

A big paper on twists in fermionic surface codes.

These codes are like the standard qubit surface codes, but built out of Majorana modes rather than qubits.

Twists are essentially lattice defects in a code, which open up new ways to store and manipulate qubits.

Put them together, and it seems you get a broader range of twists than in surface codes, and more efficient storage of logical information.
