Finally worked on the illustration for uni so I took some time to doodle. I tried out the Krita brushes @davidrevoy posted a few days back. I really like them so far and will have to use them in a proper future piece. For now, have a sexy Olivia for your start into the weekend. 😈

• Digital sketch in black and red with a few white highlights. Bust drawing of my OC Olivia, a young female orc, slightly from below. She is topless, her nipples x-ed out with a rough brush stroke. She is leaning her head slightly on her right hand, looking down at the viewer, grinning, her hair flowing around her. She seems to be fully light by red light in a dark place. A bright light from behind and farther away gives a few highlights to her hair. (remote)

My daughter, after tasting almond butter, indignantly, "It tastes like nuts!"

Me, with a "duh" tone, "It's almond butter, what do you think it's made of?"… and then immediately realizing that yeah, nobody has told her yet those nuts she doesn't like are called almonds :-)

There's the first time for everything!

And then all of the syntax is just the uppermost most superficial layer of a language.

The hard parts that really matter are in semantics of the language. Language semantics affect performance, reliability, and maintainability. Neat tabs or curly brackets don't help if it's hard to properly handle errors, process text without screwing up encoding, or use threads without mangling data.

Argument about how a programming language _looks_ like is the bikesheddest of bikesheds.

Anyone can have an opinion on what punctuation is "ugly" or what they think is "readable".

Rarely anyone understands why a given syntax is necessary, and what are the drawbacks of "prettier" alternatives.

The cost may be in parsing ambiguities, poor syntax errors, or need for implicit behaviors that may backfire.

• Top down photo of three vinyl stickers on a wooden table. One is the CCC keyboard and star design in red and black, one a bust drawing of a person with long hair, shaved side, wearing a mask, two sewing needles crossing behind and a scroll reading "Nähkromancer". The third sticker is circular, showing a starry sky and the head of a white cat with a black crescent moon on their forehead reading "Me, my cat, media.ccc & chill". (remote)

It's depressing for me especially as when I Biden stopped Keystone XL in the first day of his presidency I took it as a good sign and thought that may be he's going to do something. Apparently, that was just a sacrificial cow for good optics…

It's a depressing read, but a much needed evidence for people who still think Biden administration is "good for climate". https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2021/06/30/biden-cabinet-climate/

(And in general for those who still believe the fight is between Democrats and Republicans, and not between corporations and people.)
