The sun is warm and the air is humid. The sky is a rust color overhead, it's not a very friendly atmosphere, but hospitable enough as a facsimile. Beneath the toxic atmosphere an ecology of immense volatility blossomed and sputtered and fell prey to the sort of cycles
death
The darkness between the stars is very cold. And here I sit equidistant between a star and its companion matter sphere that cannot rightly be called a star as it is practically beyond fusion. It shines like a beacon, a cleansing swath of light and harder stuff and power that

It has been a while since I worked on this game. And after being away for a while, I can't really see the sources of frustration that I felt before. They were probably residual feelings from the frustration of getting it to a functional state and figuring out
I've been thinking and it seems to me that creation and destruction are false dichotomies, as both are just transmutation, and both tend to result in a more disordered environment being created, where in this case, I am talking about disorder being a divergence from what would otherwise
There is a certain strain of thought that I have had for some time. That the ultimate justice that can be inflicted is for them to truly understand why what they did was wrong, how it hurt people, and how it was baseless, senseless, or otherwise selfish beyond acceptance. This

The last few days have been more stressful than can really be accounted for. But, I am seeing them pass anti-transgender legislation, bathroom bills, and I'm honestly afraid of what comes after that. What escalation can happen at that point? And I was realizing that I'm
So it's happened Again. Something on twitter has blown hundreds of folks over to mastodon and the rest of activitypub. This is great from a fediverse user perspective because the new blood is quite nice. There is opposition from a number of quarters. * Those that object to FOSS

I've been meaning to get into rust for a long time, but there were some pieces missing from the ecosystem(good rust bindings for GUI applications appear to be hard to come by), but rust isn't like most of those other languages, it requires a different
Common Lisp
I am currently working on writing code to support the usage pattern that I have used in the past for making animations using ffmpeg to encode video. Really though, how complex does it need to be? Well, let's put together a wish-list: 1. It should always shut down

I've been trying to think of something to write for a while now, some new topic, some new follow-up that I said I would do(environmental sensing in the L-Systems code would be nice). I've been struggling with my own concentration since I was a child,
poetry
Have you ever been the world? Where you are the Climber and the Tree ? the skier and the snow? the car and the driver? Where boundaries dissolve into the Single, Continuous Truth? That atoms swap spit and humans exchange electrons All the fingers on all the levers And we still
Common Lisp
Rendering shapes is a relatively small addition to the L-System code I've been implementing over the last few weeks, it consists of a few manual dispatches to drawing code based on the first symbol in a sublist. The immediate alternative is using defgeneric and the common lisp object
