Bill’s early work had an incredible influence on my career, especially his studies on perception and coplots. It’s so sad to hear that he passed away. May his memory be a blessing.

Picture of the Deadwood bar in Iowa City, where the marquee has the "W" missing so that it spells "DEAD OOD". Perhaps fittingly, above the marquee, a group of stuffies is posed in a window, appearing to stare forlornly at the pavement below.

Side by side views of the Positron. The left side has the activity bar on the left in the default position. The right side has the activity bar in the top position.

Side by side views of the Positron. The left side has the activity bar on the left in the default position. The right side has the activity bar in the top position.

Screenshot of the Positron IDE showing that the Activity Bar moved from the default position on the left side to the top where it's much smaller. A right-click menu is open next to the “Explorer” label, with the option Activity Bar Position → Top selected. Annotations highlight where to right-click, next to the word Explorer, then choose Activity Bar Position, and then choose Top.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water — the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view.
And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone.

"When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.”

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.
