I'm starting my new role in NYC next week. For friends & colleagues already there, I hope to meet up with you soon.

I wonder if Apple Photos will ever add partner linking like Google photos. Using the same apple ID as a workaround for this one purpose is leading to more and more problems...

Wow, trying to close down our @DocuSign account and waiting on hold -- no online way to cancel. Is this a standard SaaS tactic? Very very annoying. Easy to sign up hard to cancel. Will think twice before reactivating because of this transaction cost.

FP twitter, my brother just got his CS degree and is looking for a job. He has some Haskell/Scheme/Clojure experience and leans functional if given the chance. Resume at bit.ly/37NcjXc Plz forward if you have a lead. Get him a job in NYC so he can join me here!

Im on a plane (stupid I know), and the Delta employees don’t even have a single mask to give someone repeatedly coughing behind us. Not only are we not “doing everything”, it seems like we’re not even trying.

One of my problems with academic research is the tendency to make up problems so they can be solved in interesting ways. Here's an example:

Ryan Newton Uh oh I was trying not to bash specific individuals :-/

I've just started monthly donations to Dark Reader. It's the best such extension I've tried by far. opencollective.com/darkreader via Open Collective

Lindsey Kuper (@[email protected]) LVars has a lovely characterization of when you can read something monotonic: define a threshold. Specifically (and this is the lovely part, IMHO) the threshold is a set of pairwise incompatible lattice points.

This is nicer than anything my real grandfather ever said. (Lindsey’s great grandfather)

My org in FB is heavily Rust (and Haskell and OCaml...). So please take this job and help make the Rust Language compiler & tools ecosystem even better.

Neel Krishnaswami is one of the nicest people I know, and one of my favorite collaborators ever. If you want to study type systems, he's a fantastic person to do a Ph.D. or postdoc with, and he's hiring! semantic-domain.blogspot.com/2020/12/typefo…

There's an unfortunate tendency to undervalue the work of PhD students and assign excessive credit to the senior professor. This is especially bad with journalists (one even called me a "worker bee"). The title "Research Assistant" shouldn't be taken literally.

Sam Tobin-Hochstadt Talia Ringer 🕊 @jonmsterling José Manuel Calderón Trilla (@jmct.bsky.social) Remind me to tell you a story about Ryan Newton's POP seminar some time... I'm not sure if he remembers the incident, but I've been laughing about it for years (not at Ryan's expense, to be clear!!)
