I'm Youwen. You can visit me at my website or at my (currently sparse) blog.
I sometimes code in my free time. My primary occupation, of course, is ricing my sprawling NixOS configuration and Neovim setup. This takes up the vast majority of my time.
I formerly did web development before I realized that the internet was pure bloat and so I excised it from my life. Now, I'm a recovering TypeScript addict recently converted to the Church of Haskell and learning category theory. When I'm not doing that, I occasionally actually write code.
You may notice that most of my projects are written in Rust or other lesser languages, and not Haskell. This is because Haskell is far too intellectual to be used for actual software. Haskell programs exist purely in the noösphere as the real world is not nearly pure enough. Therefore, Rust is my language of choice for hacking.
After many attempts, I have finally managed to get my system to run from a nix flake. I feel as though I am at the pinnacle of system configuration, staring down at all the normies running arch installs below. Whats a Gentoo? sounds like a waste of cpu resources. If nix configurations can be likened to distros, then I have the power to build an entire distribution from a single short command. All my settings, my apps, my 6gbs of lutris & steam... they can all be installed from a single git repository on any computer of my choosing. I... No, We have reached the elevator to Olympus and sat upon the seats of the Gods.
No one man should have all this power.
 | If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be William S. Massey's A Basic Course in Algebraic Topology. I am intended to serve as a textbook for a course in algebraic topology at the beginning graduate level. The main topics covered are the classification of compact 2-manifolds, the fundamental group, covering spaces, singular homology theory, and singular cohomology theory. These topics are developed systematically, avoiding all unecessary definitions, terminology, and technical machinery. Wherever possible, the geometric motivation behind the various concepts is emphasized. Which Springer GTM would you be? The Springer GTM Test |
