Your description kinda reminds me of Alvin Cheung &co's work on verified lifting. Is that sort of the right idea?

Oh, interesting thought. My first guess was they originally went with Quadafny , and then a reviewer said it sounded like a former Libyan dictator. So they had to do a last minute s/Quad/Q/g.

Ho. Ly. Smokes. I haven't seen too many tags about #icfpsplash25 over here, but I _gotta_ believe it's because people were too excited and in the moment to be able to stop and microblog about it.

Wowza. What a day. I'm for sure gonna need a double Kopi C to get me going tomorrow morning.

This seems like a terrible policy that's the result of terrible meta-policy: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

But didn't we find out that "classic Google search" isn't classic Google search? Like they got the idea to dumb their search down so that ads were easier to sell?

The one I heard that seemed catchy was Properly Implemented Tail Call Handling

I have no idea about the rest of the context. But It's worth noting that R5-D4 deliberately malfunctioned because he knew how important R2-D2's mission was. That self-sacrifice gets an entire section on the Wookiepedia. starwars.fandom.com/wiki/R5-D4.

R5-D4

R5-D4, also referred to as R5 (Arfive) and called "Red" by Luke Skywalker, was a red and white-striped R5 astromech droid owned by a group of Jawas on Tatooine in the early days of the Galactic Civil ...

Happy Petrov Day to those who celebrate. On September 26, 1983, Stanislav Petrov made the correct decision to not trust a computer.

I've attached a short clip from a reenactment of the situation in the documentary The Man Who Saved the World.

My Bleeps, do you have any git games you find better learning tools or more fun than ohmygit ? What else is there in this space?

jhemann.bsky.social @jhemann.bsky.social · 28d
