Stixu is now offered under a dual license.

Starting today, the primary license is GPLv3.

For commercial entities that require a non-GPL license, my offline development copy can be offered with a different license on request for a fee.

I got two signatures at ASYNC 2025 - one in a physical book I just happened to be carrying (I didn't realize Dr. Sutherland was in the community) and another in my e-reader copy of the entry point of many younger people to the field.

Stixu now has a demo mode that pre-loads a diagram:

stixu.io?demo=1

It also now has features to export to IRSIM (recommended) or Verilog (might need some improvement, experimental) for event-based simulation.

I regularly get these kinds of industrial espionage offers.

Just contact PR if you want to do this legitimately.

Outlook's web client is the most broken web application I have ever used, rivaled only by the rest of the Microsoft Office web application suite.

Turns out I didn't have to learn Mercurial, but I did have to spend all day poring over a couple of huge .mjs files.

Just putting this out there to the approximately zero people who will see it: I, a WHITE GUY, directly benefited from #DEIA (a.k.a. #DEI). As in, cash in pocket direct benefits

Receiving FAFSA aid (equity) and first-generation student consideration (inclusion) helped me reach the starting line.

Everyone should use Firefox.

This excerpt from _Speech and Language Processing_ (third edition draft) by @jurafsky.bsky.social and Dr. James H. Martin answers a question I've had since I first learned about dynamic programming over a decade ago, and is an example of how history often rhymes.
