<p>What I'm listening to today: "Pink Turns to Grey", Slow Attack Ensemble</p><p>I don't know much about this group but one thing I'll say: They really do have slow attack. Here's eight minutes of layered guitar, waves of butterflies, flitting invisible beautiful but a bit too much, feels nice but the niceness feels like anxiety, worrying, a thing that's too nice, is this what "manic" means? a typhoon of butterflies gentle breeze like a winter gale too much too much too much too</p><p><a href="https://slowattackensemble.bandcamp.com/track/pink-turns-to-grey" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">slowattackensemble.bandcamp.co</span><span class="invisible">m/track/pink-turns-to-grey</span></a></p>

<p>Kid: Mr. Sackett schedules his course so that Salem Witch Trials time perfectly with Halloween!</p><p>Me: Sure, that's easy for a history teacher. But I do the same in a *CS* course!</p><p>Can you guess the topic? (In PL, GC would be a natural fit; but this is in accelerated intro.)</p>
<p>What I'm listening to today: "You Made Me Realise", My Bloody Valentine</p><p>MBV is best known for "Loveless", where they re-imagined indie rock with so much filtering it sounds like it was recorded by aliens, but then there's this one transitional-fossil track with max production but legible pop vocals. It's so so Much. Bright, airy lyrics with super dark lyrics, cutup VHS-core video. In live versions, the guitar breakdown in the middle reportedly lasts like, half an hour.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3hYEwCmMhY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=L3hYEwCmMhY</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

But that might require a level of dynamism not actually possible in PE world.</p>
<p>PROBLEM:</p><p>CATHERINE: by the way something that I think would be really cool is a dynamic linker that can automatically thunk between calling conventions, like Win32 stdcall and SysV. I think it would be really funny if you could generate stub libraries for msvcrt and then link your Linux software against it. I want to see Busybox run on top of ntdll.dll</p>
<p>PROBLEM: Python packaging</p><p>SOLUTION: once you do all of the steps above it reduces to an existing, solved problem</p>
