The Halite team at @Twosigma is excited to bring a new season of Halite on Kaggle. Stay tuned for more details!

We're saddened by the passing of celebrated #HiddenFigures mathematician Katherine Johnson. Today, we celebrate her 101 years of life and honor her legacy of excellence that broke down racial and social barriers: go.nasa.gov/2SUMtN2

Calling it the “Chinese Virus” actually puts my safety in danger. Americans who look like me are getting physically attacked. All I’m trying to do is focus on these three, but now I gotta watch my back too.

The results are in for cartoon ideas. Sankrant's suggestion got the most votes, suggesting I create alternate mascots for other programming languages. I like it! I'm going to start tomorrow making mascots for other languages- Let's see how many I can do! x.com/snk_xed/status…

Mathematician and genius John Conway, inventor of The Game of Life has succumbed to COVID-19 today. What a terrible loss for the world. RIP.

CI/CD is the purest expression of Conway’s Law: your CI/CD pipeline will be broken and messy in exactly the same ways your engineering org is broken and messy. info.acloud.guru/resources/braz…

I'm finally making the switch from Mac to Ubuntu. Any recommendations on what laptop to get (for my primary development machine)?

Here's an example of the perils of StackOverflow: The actual author of java.time.* says this answer is wrong and points out two correct ones, but no one reads past the first answer so it keeps getting voted up. stackoverflow.com/questions/3306…

Cognitect joins Nubank! cognitect.com/blog/2020/07/2… #clojure #datomic

Wow, Clojure and the company behind it (formerly Cognitect, now Nubank) was just mentioned on CNN--cool!

Is there a scratch-like editor for a logic programming language (such as Prolog)?

Question for lispers: did the first "real" lisp implementation feature immutability as a key concept? Or was it an emergent property?

If I ever write a programming language, it will make converting between time zones hard enough that everyone decides to use UTC everywhere in the code.

Meanwhile the people in power call themselves "climate leaders" as they open up new oilfields, pipelines and coal power plants - granting new oil licenses exploring future oil drilling sites. This is the world they are leaving for us.

Greg Spurrier Peter Seibel I can consistently get nonprogrammers to create useful SWI_Prolog programs within an afternoon. I can rarely do so with programmers.

It's amazing what a carbon tax would do (BBB is the Build Back Better Plan). The whole discussion was great (the chart appears at 1:14 in the video).

Fun! I just built the example flutter app with ClojureDart running on hover. Installing hover was a little painful because I'm not familiar with the go ecosystem, but the rest was incredibly smooth. 😁
