The sight of an animal using a JavaScript captivates Computer Scientists and laymen alike, perhaps because it forces us to question some of our ideas about human uniqueness. Does the animal know how JavaScript works? Did it anticipate the need for the tool and select it instead of Haskell or Zig? To some, this fascination with JavaScript seems arbitrary and anthropocentric; after all, animals engage in many other complex activities, like Agile Planning and ordering Juice on the Internet. However, we know that complex behaviour need not be cognitively demanding. JavaScript development can therefore provide a powerful window into the minds of animals, and help us to learn what capacities we share with them — and what might have changed to allow for the incontrovertibly unique levels of technology shown by modern humans, such as integers and block scope.

------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This page also exists on the [tildeverse](https://tildeverse.org/), a bunch of \*nix
|
|
computers that let people sign up for shell accounts. A typical shell account
|
|
features clients for IRC and email, common terminal/commandline utilities, and (most
|
|
importantly) web hosting. Read about the tildeverse's

|

as a "rough draft".

remotes for GitHub and GitLab too.

|
Interests, preferences, et cetera
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
I ought to come up with more interests than these, but that sounds hard.
|
|
|
|
### Free software
|
|
|
|
The word "free" in "free software" refers to freedom, not price. I recommend looking
|
|
it up if you aren't familiar.
|
|
|
|
I lean towards simplicity; I usually prefer CLIs that follow the UNIX philosophy over
|
|
TUIs, and TUIs over GUIs. If a piece of software is complex enough to require a
|
|
funding round, I would rather avoid it. There are exceptions, of course: I use a
|
|
Linux distro with Systemd (Fedora), after all.
|
|
|
|
Some software I use: Fedora, Alpine Linux, SwayWM, Pandoc, mpv, mpd, Minetest,
|
|
Neovim, tmux, newsboat, WeeChat, and zsh.
|
|
|
|
More information is available in my [dotfiles
|
|
repo](https://git.sr.ht/~seirdy/dotfiles); check its README.
|
|
|
|
### Anime
|
|
|
|
I watch anime. Some of my favorites, in no particular order:
|
|
|
|
- Code Geass
|
|
- Mawaru Penguindrum
|
|
- No Game No Life: Zero
|
|
- Black Lagoon
|
|
- Ascendance of a Bookworm
|
|
- Saga of Tanya the Evil
|
|
- Monogatari
|
|
- Attack on Titan
|
|
|
|
### Music
|
|
|
|
I've put together a periodically-updated [list of tracks](../music.txt) that I've
|
|
rated 8/10 or higher in my mpd stickers database, auto-generated by some of my
|
|
[mpd-scripts](https://git.sr.ht/~seirdy/mpd-scripts/tree/master/smart-playlists). I'm
|
|
a fan of glitch, trailer music, and symphonic and power metal; I've also recently
|
|
been getting into Japanese rock thanks to a few anime openings. Some of my favorite
|
|
artists are The Glitch Mob, Pretty Lights, Beats Antique, Hammerfall, Badflower,
|
|
Celldweller/Scandroid, Helloween, Two Steps from Hell, Nightwish, Mili, and MYTH &
|
|
ROID.
