start doing computer science <3
START DOING COMPUTER SCIENCE

* VARIABLES WERE SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN NAMES
* YEARS OF PROGRAMMING yet STILL MORE TO CREATE
* Don't want to write code anyway? We have a field for you: It's called THEORY
* "Well typed programs don't go wrong." "Boolean satisfiability is NP-complete." "Every effectively calculable function is computable." — Statements dreamed up by the utterly inspired

LOOK at what computer scientists deserve your Respect for all this time, with all the circuits and computers we built for them
(This is REAL computer science, done by REAL computer scientists):

They have given us beautiful tools

Core Dispatch #1 New releases are slated to drop on Monday: 3.13.13, 3.14.4, and 3.15.0a8. PEP 803 got accepted, so free-threaded builds will have a stable ABI. Ken Jin also wrote up what's going on with the JIT in 3.15. coredispatch.xyz/editions/1

Studies have found the most logical and fastest keyboard layout is not between key orders like qwerty and dvorak, but one that prioritises the size of keys depending on the frequency of those letters in the language being typed, regardless of the ordering.
A photo of an Apple keyboard with the alphabet keys changed depending on the frequency of letters in English in this case. the E, A, D, T, I, O, L and N keys are quite large, while Q, X, Z, K, and V are quite small.

Tried to make a dark mode for my blog but accidentally made it grimdark
ON THE NATURE OF THIS REALM

In the endless Nordic twilight of Helsinki, I maintain quanttype - a digital testament carved from code and shadow. I am Miikka Koskinen, a software architect forged in the cold fires of mathematical proof. When not wrestling with the eternal chaos of engineering, I stalk the urban wilderness with my camera, lose myself in worn tomes, and venture into the merciless Finnish wilds. Here I chronicle my descent through technology’s dark labyrinth.
