Scott Murray<p>Here’s a specific question:</p><p>A friend has an autistic son about age 11. One of his special interests is building his own computers from parts. But he’s just hit the upper limit of what he can figure out on his own.</p><p>Where would you look for support? Ideally like a computer hobbyist / maker / nerd who could consult with this child and help him along? Like a build-your-own-PC tutor?</p><p>Back in the day there were “computer clubs” like the famous Homebrew Computer Club. I’m not even sure if groups like that exist anymore. 🤷‍♂️</p><p>Thank you!</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/neurodivergence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergence</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BuildYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BuildYourOwn</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>computer</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AutismParenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AutismParenting</span></a></p>
Andrew Helwer<p>I have a Java project that uses threads to run a parallel algorithm, and I’d like to run tests of it in a deterministic simulation mode to explore all possible thread interleavings. Is there a JVM-level framework that does this without having to modify code?</p><p><a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/Java" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Java</span></a> <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a></p>
