I purchased PROGRAM = PROOF from Amazon. I'm looking forward to reading it and going through the Agda & OCaml exercises within.

It's also available as a PDF but I like supporting authors.

Systems thinking as (failed) systems shaping (via Donella Meadows “Dancing with Systems” - ).

@hamsanandi Entire Indian temples have been stolen and displayed in museums in the US.

The exhibit says 'Made in Madurai' as if it is some consumer item!

Paradoxically, using more short sentences gives you the liberty to write beautiful long sentences — but save them for when you really need them.

RT @KS1729: I was watching the wonderful space drama, 'The Expanse', and in it one of the Martian destroyer is called 'Kittur Chenamma' or 'KC' that travels to Jupiter!

Fun!

@david_perell have you seen/read "Several Short Sentences About Writing"?

@Mehdi_IR_DC This guy James Prigioni has inspired me to someday try and grow persimmons

@brunoborges curl -Ls | bash -s - app install jbang
jbang init
jbang edit --open

You then have jbang, JDK and IDE configured on any of the major OS's.

US state-by-state vaccination data now on @OurWorldInData. West Virginia at/near the top of all these charts; Alabama near the bottom. But all states need to speed up.

Also, if you like shanties, consider going beyond TikTok videos and paying some attention to the cultural preservationists who've kept alive this rich oral culture and the maritime roots whence it sprang. Artists like David Coffin for example.

yes, turn on the macroses!

@pbanavara I didn't understand what you meant when I first saw this tweet, but reading comments here i kinda get why... looks like the new CEO is well respected inside INTC. (I don't follow them ..)

Not only did The Sacklers make billions from Purdue Pharma while starting the opioid crisis, but they also own a sister company, Mundipharma that is spreading the opioid crisis throughout the world. @coreysdavis

@AhsanDeliri @Cloudflare i'm just googling stuff here, but this looks standard?

@btbytes @DmytroGladkyi I like Kensington's SlimBlade: . You scroll by spinning the ball. The larger diameter trackball also helps moving larger distances (Logitech uses 40mm, Kensington uses 55mm).

It was in 1982. Maharajapuram Santhanam sang this Tillana in raga Sivaranjanini in a concert held at the beautiful Senate Hall of Kerala University, Thiruvananthapuram. His rendering made a life-time impression on me. See I am listening to it again in 2021

A must-read if you're an India fan.

@btbytes Since we are on names: this sketch from Goodness Gracious Me on “complicated names” just kills it

@talekaayi i keep thinking of starting & administering an invite based mastodon instance for ಕಲೆ/ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಇತ್ಯಾದಿ. I had registered a domain - for this purpose.. realized i let it expire a while ago .. sigh..
