@ionchy @koronkebitch I agree. The other reviewers can see it, but I feel like the authors should be able to as well. I write a different response for a grumpy expert than for an outsider who didn't understand something.

@ionchy OOPSLA reviewers do self-assign expertise levels. They're just not shown to the authors this year. Not sure why not.

Congrats Harry Goldstein on winning the SIGPLAN Doctoral Dissertation Award!

We’ve strayed so far from our roots.

Computers were invented mostly for killing nazis better. (Edit: the gay man, Alan Turing, came a little later, but he was very good at killing Nazis and always deserves mention)

Software engineering was codified mostly by women, mostly for yeeting cis men into space.

More nazi killing and cisdude yeeting, please.

The irony. 🧪 #science #MedSky

@bhaktishh Why can't it be both?

@chrisamaphone Ooh boy. Not-so-random (whatever happened to already be there) garbage values in initialized memory! The lack of default values is one thing I've always hated about C/C++.

I envy that you've only had to deal with sane languages that either don't complete or put in a reasonable default (like zero) for uninitialized variables.

@dev One can be amazed by the concept of Thursday on any day of the week!

@ionchy There are nice things that require special upkeep and nice things that don't. I have a nice wooden cutting board (needs to be oiled periodically) and an electric kettle that lets me control the water temp, a bunch of good tea, and handmade mugs (nothing special to do).

If you aren't into the upkeep, get some nice things that don't require it. The need for upkeep isn't what makes them nice. My tea and mugs are nicer than my cutting board.

On Sunday, @irene and I adopted this cute cat, Miso.

On Monday, he escaped. A door blew open and this shy, timid boy suddenly burst to life and darted out the door, leaping our neighbor’s fence and running off into the park.

Today, we got him back inside.

The intervening 56 hours included:
- five friends helping us search
- seven volunteers from the Alley Cat Project who helped us set traps
- six humane traps
- at least 14 cameras (some mine, some courtesy of our neighbor who already had a network of game cameras searching for her lost cat)
- a GPU-powered cat detection algorithm (the only acceptable AI application)
- an elaborate system of pulleys for remotely closing our basement door after he poked his head inside, without scaring him away.

He is now happily purring at my feet on a warm bed. And on a very strict lockdown!

@ionchy This is exactly me for the last week if you replace "writing this paragraph" with "reviewing this paper."
