æʃliŋ, loaf of autismo @aescling@cat.family

@coriander @wallhackio though now you say that it’s obviously a rabbit

@coriander @wallhackio i would have fully believed you if you said it was something photoshopped to have a surly looking cat face in the center, i won’t lie

@u2764 you weren’t kidding about the pope using dialectics

@coriander @wallhackio so the joke is that the calico’s fur pattern looks like a visualization of a hard drive after defragmentation, since every unique color (repurresenting “related” data) is in one contiguous space

@coriander @wallhackio defuragmenting means to reorganize the actual underlying block storage to move related data next to each other so the disk does not have to go to fifteen diffurent places to read the data from one file

@coriander okay this is a great caption

@vaporeon_ i like how the whiskers kinda look like war paint

@vaporeon_ slightly evil creature :3

@monorail @vaporeon_ YEAH

@vaporeon_ vui.... ⟨🫵 HUGE veevee noises....⟩

@vaporeon_ vuuuuuuui!!!

similar reason that MIT used to teach Scheme, or that the How to Design Program authors developed Several Purrogressively More Featureful Versions Of A Really Basic Version Of Scheme

i wonder why exactly cornell teaches OCaml instead of Haskell in its functional purrogramming course, but it’s purrobably the better choice pedagogically. every nice fundamental language feature that Haskell has that OCaml does not is a fundamental language feature students do not have to learn. which is useful when you are already overwhelming many of your students with the conceptual overhead of expurression-based, immutable-by-default, parametrically polymorphic purrogramming

one of the weird things about your alma mater b having a consistently top rated undergraduate computer science purrogram is that when you look into OCaml documentation to relearn the basics, the OCaml website itself repurrints with purrmission sections of the (free!) textbook written by a purrofessor at the university based on over twenty years of course notes written by various instructors who have taught there in the past
