oh wow, Mastodon supports approval voting! Let's see if we can make Donald Trump win.

Tell us, who's qualified to be US president?

@todrobbins I think it's too much to explain in writing in a few paragraphs. My apologies.

@todrobbins I'd avoid a psychotherapist who self-describes as anti-<anything> 😅

@PacificNic @fergabell I haven't tried it but there's this: https://www.theglasspantry.com/candied-witches-butter
Probably works as authentic Halloween #candy.

@PacificNic @fergabell some people eat it.

@freemo they gave me 20 images in a format that required special software I forgot about and I turned them into an animation.

@iddux the French translation is almost the same as in English except for kingdom, which becomes "règne" rather than "royaume". They have the same Latin root but in modern French, the former is a duration like "reign" in English and the latter is a territory. I guess "règne (biologie)" is a late, bad translation of the Latin "regnum" which has a broader meaning.

@emc2 one thing that matters is job titles as you see them on LinkedIn. They're not meant to describe you as a person but to match a standard skillset sought after by employers.

@emc2 it doesn't matter because it's so vague.

@hrefna @ELLIOTTCABLE also, the labeled versions of iter were designed to allow flipping the arguments depending on the situation. I don't like to use labels for such simple functions, though.
In recent years, we were blessed with the pipeline operator `|>` , which makes the original List.iter reasonable again without having to resort to labels:
lst |> List.iter (fun x ->
<a bunch of code>
)

@hrefna @ELLIOTTCABLE 'iter f lst' vs. 'iter lst f' is because of two conflicting idioms: partial application (let print_list = List.iter f) vs. anonymous functions:
List.iter lst (fun x ->
<a bunch of code>
)
For the other examples, I'm not sure what you were expecting. Creating tuples is expensive, so iterating over a key/value container won't have the same signature as iterating over a set (e.g. Hashtbl.iter takes (fun key value -> ...), not (fun (key, value) -> ...)). It's not something that's bothering me, so it must be a cultural thing 🙂

@fmperspective@mastodon.social it's a bolete because it has pores rather than gills but I don't know which one. Try a local mushroom group and provide photos of the underside and base, general location, habitat (especially nearby trees), any unusual color (does it bruise blue?) or smell.

I resorted to this animated gif to display a small gallery on my art website. I think it works better than having to flip through each image. https://martinj.art.

Instagram scammers are hilarious. I cannot not engage with them. 😂

@Rasta @teamheardle I was surprised to see Les Cactus in this list. This was an easy one for me. I got 10/20.
