📌 2020 pin update!

I'm Mary. Medical doctor by day, low-level developer by night. I enjoy taking both mechanical or biological things apart and putting them back together again.

My recent major public projects mainly concern console emulation, see: http://github.com/MerryMage

Other interests:
- Radiophysics, Radiology, Radiotherapy, and associated fields
- Audio and DSP
- Compilers, JITs and type systems

DMs open!

If someone says Tk/Tcl I will eat you.

Thinking of doing the thing where an application's core is written in some $lowlevellanguage and the GUI is written in the same scripting language a user would use to script the application.

Only real language I feel would be appropriate would be Lua.

Languages-wise, I feel that learning Polish or Romaninan would be the most practically useful given the number of monolingual patients I've seen who only know those languages,,

but I have a more emotional connection with say, Indonesian

Bring the complete theatre experience to your home (including pre-screening ads).

Renko stared at the title of the book.

"'So Your Girlfriend Isn't Human'. This this some sort of joke, Merry?"

Maribel giggled, and her smile broadened.

"You're clever. Figure it out." And with a pop, she vanished.

I feel like 80% of the medical take is just COVID-19.

Car's battery is flat, but what did I expect after 2~3 months of disuse.

#badideas oom killer but for disk space

can't believe I haven't made a "/r/outside except single-player mode" joke yet

Other fun activites include implementing a FIR filter as a delay line on tape and a bunch of tape heads.

teaching kids how to solve differential equations with opamps

my brain classifies this as a fun activity

idk what to tell you brain but i don't think the kids would enjoy that

Continuing the branchless implementations aren't worth it trend (10% delta) - https://gist.github.com/MerryMage/4a6855f9cd82f7e1335056157b978fd6

BBR congestion control looks interesting

tbqh i have no idea how people get sub-10 second solves on this thing, 30º turns are hard to get accurate

With the Square-1 in a (1,0) configuration you are in a subgroup such that pairs will not be split up, as long as only /, (3, 0), or (0, 3) moves are made.

Method overview:
1. Reduce to cube form.
2. Reduction step: Pair adjacent corners and edges.
3. Parity correction if required.
4. Solve as a Rubix domino.
5. Solve middle layer.
