I tried Kodacolor 200 over the winter break
I guess it's ok but the PNW weather made it kinda gloomy

can you believe ⊥ ⊢ ⊤ is a valid judgement? that's not math that's shapes. that's a mensa visual-spatial question

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.

I'm giving a talk at NJPLS this Friday!
But I also submitted this work to OOPSLA so I can't post what it is.
If you're not an OOPSLA reviewer you can read the abstract I submitted here!
