The new Automerge website is live!!

The biggest (smallest) surprise? How fun it was to build the demo!

Automerge is so robust, it withstood all our weird ideas — like using physics-driven particles to literally push changes between docs — and it just worked. Perfectly. Every time.

The automerge home page, featuring an interactive demo. Two devices synchronize their data by streaming particles back and forth.

#SPLASH folks, check out our Distinguished Paper (!) talk this afternoon at 14:15 on "Incremental Bidirectional Typing via Order Maintenance". Thomas will tell you how to efficiently update type information (including error marks) in response to local edit actions. A small step *static* semantics!?

New paper with @jakehughes.uk : Garbage Collection for Rust: The Finalizer Frontier. There are lots of GCs for Rust: we tried pushing as far as we could in a new direction, particularly looking at what can be done about the headache that is finalizers.

after careful study, I believe only people born between 1975 and 1995 should be allowed to use the internet

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want?

Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?

This post got flagged off of HN, but I think the first few paragraphs are persuasively written.
