🦋 Living Safely With Covid #CovidIsAirborne Absolutely. I don’t understand why there isn’t a team just dedicated to ventilation - communications, business and schools outreach, minimum standards policy ahead of winter. The fact that there isn’t a cross-ministry group urgently looking at mitigations like this is appalling.

When you finish a PhD in computer science, they take you to a special room and explain that you must never use recursion in real life. Its only purpose is to make programming hard for undergrads.

I built a code/legislation thing and then wrote a love letter about it and if you're nerdy and into #Legislation #CivicTech #RulesAsCode then you might enjoy it. Not normally active here nowadays but this is for the old crew XD. hamish.dev/a-love-letter-…

Dear government, "I would love it very much if you would publish your legislation with granular referencing to incorporate in computer systems" hamish.dev/a-love-letter-… A great #rulesascode gift/prototype by Hamish

Everything about this… thank you Hamish for this delightful and incredibly useful nerdyness ❤️

Last week we formally launched The Digital Legal Systems Lab, a new institution we've created with Hamish. It's a place for responsible #LegislationAsCode experimentation, and we're keen to collaborate with others on future projects. Read more: brainbox.institute/post/introduci…

We are honored to receive the #EdgeOfGovernment #innovation award from the #WorldGovernmentSummit 2023! Emissaries @matti_sg & sacha receive this distinction on behalf of the entire OpenFisca community and more broadly, for all those who work to make #RulesAsCode a reality.

I’m feeling really spaced out guys

We're excited to debut a #LawAsCode project at TechweekNZ next week! On Tuesday 16 May at 10am NZT, we'll be presenting a webinar about how we've supported NZ's water services regulator to enable API reporting of water quality data. (1/2) techweek.co.nz/programme/view…

The project sits under The Digital Legal Systems Lab, which is a joint venture between Brainbox & Verb's Hamish Fraser (Hamish). It's a great case study of exciting things to come in the #LawAsCode space. We hope you can join us to hear more about it! techweek.co.nz/programme/view…

Big questions that Aotearoa NZ should be asking right now. Heavy impacts abroad show us what our own future can be we don't take preventive action. Thanks for a great conversation last night with brilliant speakers @DrFrascatore & Conor Browne chaired by @chrisjensenj. #longCovid

Back in 2021 Matthew Waddington wrote the below blog post and Meng Weng Wong took an example from that post and wrote it in L4. I’m now sitting with Matthew while he learns L4 using that same example while Meng instructs from the front at #CLAWCON Loop closed!
