A lot of the recent announcement of amazing prototype AI products remind me of the 1956 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmouth…

'...We think that a significant advance can be made in one or more of these problems if a carefully selected group of scientists work on it together for a summer...'

Assuredly but not by that name!

Should I pivot into seeking funds for a startup on Orthogonal Persistence? The topic has plenty of funded projects, all of them ignoring the SOTA.

Cryptocurrency investors haven't been kind to my decentralization technologies—probably because they don't involve shilling a token.

LIVE 2024 is coming! It's a workshop in late October in Los Angeles (part of SPLASH2024) for discussing developments in live programming environments and we'd love to have your weird and wonderful project represented.

The existence and necessity of queues belies the grotesque claim of universality of the relational data model.

The absence of a semi-decent programming language that can insert data belies it even being a data model at all for software.

Relational Databases are a scam.

Save the date: #prog25 will take place June 2 to 6, 2025.

We look forward to meeting you in Prague, Czechia

CSS is overcomplicated for the same reason that medieval philosophy is: it starts from a lie. Medieval philosophers were trying to reconcile observation with scripture. CSS is trying to separate content from presentation.

Schema change solved?
'We decouple the logical external schema versions, from the actual internal physical materialization. Developers describe the evolution of external schema versions using InDEL, a language which contains invertible evolution operations. Each InDEL operation

The journal on 'The Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming' is still taking submissions for volume nine!

Next deadline is June 1st 📫

Submitted papers have the opportunity to use the journal's artifact evaluation process to submit and publish their results of any form.

I’m giving a new talk at the UCSD Design Lab next Wednesday. Details and description in link below. It’s open to the public if you’re local.

It’ll be recorded; will share when it’s up.

This quote will sure become a classic in time.

Personal backstory on why LIVE matters to me:

Back in 2018 I was starting to
