Yep. Now I just know all the shit I failed to do today :\

Would you like to provide those receipts?

Me too. Also, AC + fan make constant continuous noise, but they’re basically required for me to even begin to feel comfortable. I’ve mostly gotten used to the noise, but when I’m already overloaded, it’s not a nice thing.

Just because someone is starving doesn’t mean that they’ll eat absolutely anything, nor should they be expected to.

That being said…bread with butter isn’t that nutritious. You might want to start trying new foods to round out your diet. I for one am a lot more likely to like a new food if it isn’t forced upon me, more so if I make it myself.

Winter. I like my spaces very cold.

Well…it is a bit like us-vs-them. I’m all for modifying my behavior to make people comfortable around me, I’m willing to change, but it often feels like (1) nothing is ever enough, and (2) they’re often unwilling to make any similar changes to accommodate us. And I do think that we need to organize based on our shared experience as neurodiverse people to defend ourselves from the weird expectations that NT people often expect from us.

That being said, NT people are not a monolith, and obviously there are lots of cool and reasonable NT people. But there are some things that they just can’t intuitively understand because they’re not in our skins. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with informing them of that, just as there’s nothing wrong with NT people informing us about things we might be unable to intuitively understand.

I most regularly use Python, followed by MATLAB C++. Python has been practically mandatory for writing code for my undergrad research. My classmates usually know “a little” Python, and it’s pretty easy to pick up on the fly. I’m trying to phase out MATLAB for Python seeing as I’ll be graduating soon and my student license will run out. I know about Octave, but work done in Python is probably easier to integrate.

My favorite is C++. It’s the first language I learned and it feels like home. It gives me enough abstractions to get actual work done, but it also has the low-level tools I need to shoot myself in the foot for working with Arduino or other microcontrollers.

I’m looking into Rust for audio programming. Although audio programming is done almost exclusively in C++ these days, Rust’s safety features without performance penalties look like a promising language to write fast and reliable code suitable for real-time operation. Joining Lemmy and seeing how it compared to Kbin has cemented my interest in the language because so far, despite the bugs I’ve run into, Lemmy and Jerboa has been fast above all.
