They're baaaaack! I cannot express in words how much hope this gives. And I'm pretty damn good with my words. Linkin Park was a big part of my teenage part. I definitely ugly cried a couple times watching this. youtube.com/watch?v=IL1nlW…

I think I need to do a better job of separating my personal and hobbyist interests in computing and programming from my professional ones.

Great summary of cool things happening in the OCaml ecosystem (and the people making them happen).

TIL that Factor is still alive and well. It was one of the projects that started my love of programming languages 15-20 years ago. Seems like these days, I'm often reminded of how much I love working on languages & computing infrastructure in general. re.factorcode.org/2024/09/factor…

Born to be a hobbit, need to be a Ranger.

So is anyone not back-tracking on remote work? Asking for a friend. (It's me, the friend is me)

So, is "cooked" good or bad? Asking for me and my fellow confused millennials.

This is the first time in my life that I'm making a big change, but no direction so far has felt 100% right. Not sure if that's just a side effect of getting older, or something more fundamental.

All this election nonsense reminds me that one of my "someday" projects is to do a comparative study of national constitutions, starting with India & the USA. And yes, seeing if/how much they can be formalized using modern tools like Lean.

As I've been diving into compilers, I (re-)discovered C--. But it looks like it died out in the mid-2000s (except maybe for GHC). Can anyone provide a reason or context around this?

What the hell happened to the iOS control panel? Looks like someone shotgunned icons across a bunch of screens at random.

Caught a stomach bug and now I have a craving for toast with Nutella.
