I've finally put together the blog post accompanying a lecture that @neeldhara.bsky.social invited me to give over a year ago - which happened about a year after @shriram.bsky.social got us to start thinking about it :)
Eventual consistency, I guess. :)

One Loop to Traverse Them All
Dedicated to Prof Shriram Krishnamurthi, who incited the exploration into this area, and to Prof Neeldhara Misra, who invited me to give a version of this talk to her class at IIT Gandhinagar.

My #FsAdvent 2025: "Froggy Tree House" 🐸
A fun little series about building a game DSL in #fsharp. Frogs jumping. Flies getting eaten. Normal stuff.
(Part 6 is called "Code as Model" but that's probably not important :))

Look, we're going to be trying to come up with a catch-all name for this group of scoundrels, and based on the emails we've seen, might I suggest "Illiterati"?

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.
