weird of the devs to put the first boss before you acquire any weaponry, but i guess that's to be expected from a team known for their nonlinear design!

this book is so fucking cool
All these questions, which we are raising in summary fashion, but, we think, correctly, can be summed up in the form of the following problems: 
What is law? 
What is the state? 
What is ideology? 
What are the relations between law, the state and ideology? 
In what kinds of ‘groupings’ (law-state or state-law, and so on) can we represent these relations in order to think them? 
Our basic thesis is that it is only possible to pose these problems (and therefore to resolve them) from the viewpoint of reproduction.

first real cool custom thing - i can take screenshots now, with a keyboard shortcut, and they're timestamped and kept in a folder. very fun to tinker with all of this
A screenshot of three terminal windows. On the left, running down the entire height of the screen, is part of the output for "date --help". The right side of the screen is split into a top and bottom pane. The top panel shows an xmonad.hs file being edited in Doom EMACs, while the bottom shows a terminal moving into ~/Pictures/Screenshots and listing its contents (a single png file).

this is some of the worst typescript i'll ever write. it's the least-experienced i'll ever be with this language. i'll only get more familiar from here

type Maybe<T> = T | null

// given a string of "L##" or "R##", return a value of (+/-)## degrees
function parseRotation (rotation : string) : Maybe<number> {
    const turnRegex = /(L|R)(\d*)/
    const rotationMatch = rotation.match(turnRegex);

    if (rotationMatch && rotationMatch.length > 2) {
        // rotationMatch evaluated as RegExpMatchArray
        // assignment works fine
        const [,dir,mag]  = rotationMatch
        // negate magnitude for left turns
        return ((dir == "R") ? 1 : -1) * parseInt(mag)
 
    }
    return null

}
// helper function for reducing over series of rotations
function accumRotation (baseRotation : number , rotString: string): number {
    let rot = parseRotation(rotString);
    if (typeof rot === "number") { // successful parse
        return baseRotation + rot
    }
    return baseRotation
}

// grrrr they don't have a scan equivalent
function evalSequence (rotStrings : string[]) {
    // at each step, evaluate accumRotation with the last rotation value and the new string and append result to the list
    // rotation value starts with 50
    let rotationSteps : number[] = rotStrings.reduce<number[]> (
        (rotList, newRot : string) => rotList.concat([accumRotation(rotList[rotList.length-1],newRot)]),[50]
    )
    // question asks for number of times we hit 0
    return rotationSteps.filter(i => i % 100 == 0)
}

the difference in style between microsoft help pages targeted at programmers and non-programmers has been such a joy to discover (these are both from support pages for power query)
Think of it this way. A vase starts as a lump of clay that one shapes into something practical and beautiful. Data is the same. It needs shaping into a table that is suitable for your needs and that enables attractive reports and dashboards.TYPE COMPATIBILITY

As defined elsewhere, an M type is compatable with another M type if and only if all values that conform to the first type also conform to the second type.

Here is defined a compatibility relation that does not depend on conforming values, and is based on the properties of the types themselves. It is anticipated that this relation, as defined in this document, is completely equivalent to the original semantic definition.

The "is compatible with" relation : ≤ : B ← T × T
In the below section, a lowercase t will always represent an M Type, an element of T.

A Φ will represent a subset of F*, or of C*.

(28) t ≤ t
This relation is reflexive.

(29) t_a ≤ t_b ∧ t_b ≤ t_c → t_a ≤ t_c
This relation is transitive.

(30) none ≤ t ≤ any
M types form a lattice over this relation; none is the bottom, and any is the top.

(31) t_a, t_b ∈ T_N ∧ t_a ≤ t_a → NonNullable(t_a) ≤ NonNullable(t_b)
If two types are compatible, then the NonNullable equivalents are also compatible.

(32) null ≤ t ∈ T_N
The primitive type null is compatible with all nullable types.

lately i have been somewhat captivated by the aesthetic of Books That Look Like This
A flat white rectangle sits atop a taller yellow one. The image resembles the cover design for Springer-Verlag's "Graduate Texts in Mathematics" series.
