CFP: I've opened up applications for the Q3 sessions at gradientretreat.com. These summer months are *gorgeous* on the island. I'm hoping to group together participants with the following (somewhat overlapping) interests.

Closing out a @gradientretreat that had it all: 3D printing, orcas, screenshots, seaplanes, Cauchy distributions, lasercut maps, flatbuffer maps, pizza, projections, interpolations, low energy Bluetooth, high energy trail runs. Thanks all for attending!

It's still impossible to make any firm plans, but we're tentatively looking forward to re-opening in August. Please drop us a line or sign up for updates at gradientretreat.com.

It's so fun watching @nervous_system's space come together. We should post more progress pics (though it would be hard to keep up with @nervous_jessica). x.com/nervous_jessica/status…

Black or green?

A new addition to the @gradientretreat library: the only previous reference I could find to those two words together. In a weird coincidence, one of the authors is a former colleague of my father’s.

We had a lot of fun with this project: at the entryway, a custom topographical map of the area around @gradientretreat, laser engraved into mahogany.

It flows into the adjacent bathroom, where along the coastline it transitions into laser-engraved slate, including a chart-style compass rose. It ended up being fitting nicely at 1000:1 scale, which means that 1m on the floor represents 1km of the island.

So glad you all came. I really loved having contributors to equivalent systems in different languages/communities come together; so much shared context but so many previously-unknown specifics to share and learn.
Wow, what a week! I had a great time at the PPL @gradientretreat, thanks to @avibryant for setting up and hosting

Sometimes you need solitary work. Sometimes you need something else.

Excited to welcome a new group to Gradient today. The weather is perfect for staying indoors and writing code.

Spent the last few days working a Maker’s Schedule on steroids with five others. Up at 7a, deep work 9a-1p, lunch, walk, deep work 2p-6p, then be sociable until bed. Feel as if I’ve found the Platonic ideal of a day. Underrated: having others working the same schedule.

We’re also particularly interested in supporting those working on open source, in these or other areas. But you should definitely feel free to propose retreats in other fields.
