Sun Tzu

Sun Tzu is rolling in his grave like a rotisserie chicken.

Footage of the meteor that lit up the sky tonight - caught by live cameras in Deep Cove. Sonic boom a couple of minutes later, strong enough to shake homes across the Lower Mainland.

Yes, digital sovereignty for all things in Canada is a good idea.

That doesn’t mean insulating us from the world: open collaboration with others still fits with this.

Buying from a vendor with nothing of our own (especially from an American vendor) is not the way.

Hah, thanks! (Caught your comment via a brid.gy notification)
The palm was an accident, but it's not like the pic was already cluttered with hair. ;)

I was in the audience, and I loved this talk! Although it did lead to late night conversations about why we're allocating external memory in the first place in OCaml, instead of going full zero-copy. My thoughts here: anil.recoil.org/notes/icfp25...
