I was at that! Such a good show!

I am designing this year's ICFP programming contest!

if you've got strong opinions on what makes a good programming contest I would love to chat.

Bonus points if you've done the ICFP PC before. Or if you've got ideas about making a good contest in the age of agents!

oh you should get a boat and let me use it!

We should have take your friends to work day

it’s better when I do it (I get to spend more time on architecture and less writing lines, debugging, and figuring out integrations) and it’s worse when other people do it (they aren’t as careful with the output and also I’m on the hook for the reviews)

yeah shouldn’t that be a centibillionaire? which also sounds bigger anyway. what are they doing

Happy opening day to those who celebrate

another candidate and relevant to your interests wingolog.org/archives/202...

can’t believe there isn’t a polyfill

actually? like shovel multiple times over the course of the storm

I think more things in life should be you can pay for this or you can really commit to the bit

Was that an excavation pun?

Fall in love at the Dinosaur Bodega!

We are having a Valentine's Day Mixer at Rex's Dino-Store.

Make friends! Make enemies! Find roar-mance!

The most-read New York Groove stories of 2025 It's Christmas, which means you're most likely huddled with friends or family or otherwise not super interested in reading emails. Hell we're not super interested in sending them which is why I actual...

Italian v. Italian violence in the streets, a dinosaur bodega, the death of $1 oysters and more: Here are your top 10 most-read New York Groove stories of the year nygroove.nyc/the-most-rea...

I basically never do this, but my favorite politician is running for congress and the earlier he gets your support the easier it is to budget his campaign. I just donated www.bradlanderforcongress.com

okay my latke theme this year is “will it shred?” taking suggestions for non-potato foods I can shred in a food processor and then bind into a latke with egg and breadcrumbs (or similar)

Who let Plato get enshittified?

did you realize the previous one had a villain who hung out in the clusters at cmu???!

I really want to agree you but I’m online enough and into politics enough that the Ryan Lizza post is astonishingly funny. I have been avoiding the rest of it

Is there a context for this because I agree in general

because there are things in the simulation that can’t be computed (nonsense). you can simulate a turing machine all you want. you just can’t prove certain properties of it ahead of time. I didn’t citation chase, but they cited Penrose on consciousness, which is widely considered kookery

The physics here is over my head so very possible I don’t understand, but I think this is nonsense. The argument seems to be that ultimately physics is axiomatized into a sufficiently complex system such that incompleteness applies (sure) and that means we can’t be in a computational system

really starting to question his promise to not go to all the parades

Though it's true there's a 'Boomer bump' in early voters for the NYC mayoral election as reported by Gothamist etc., there's another large but less well-reported peak for voters in their late 20's and early 30's, as the data I got from the Board of Elections shows:

A reproduction of a NYC newsstand (named "Rex's Dino Store") but dinosaur-themed. The proprietor is a t-rex wearing a skeleton shirt, and the newspapers, magazines, and other goods on display are all dinosaur-related. There are bat and cobweb decorations hanging from the ceiling.

Closeup shot of some of the Halloween decorations. There's a mini dino skeleton figurine and a fake headstone that says "Kathy Kretacious / Sister Mother Raptor / Fell in a tar pit"

Another fake tombstone decoration that reads, "Izzy Iguanadon / Such a friendly tail / Insulted a T-Rex's arms." Behind it is a ceramic dinosaur figurine that mimics the maneki-neko (waving lucky cat) that often grace the entrances of businesses.

The dinosaur bodega in the Grand Army Plaza subway stop got a Halloween edit 😍🦇👻🦖

Grateful to the artist @akiva.bsky.social for this fun public artwork that always makes me smile!
