I’m going to miss @strangeloop_stl so much. Such an amazing conference with an amazing legacy. Glad we were able to be here for the finale.

@arosien @scala_lang I typically replace it with a version that lifts the NotImplementedError into an F[_] : MonadThrow

@dustinson I have some similar stories from when I studied in Ireland, stuff I probably wouldn’t do today… 😂

My instinct is that it’s me that’s changed, though. Feels like I’d have more to lose now, idk. I’m definitely less likely to stay in a hostel, too much of a snob 😅

@steve_vladeck Aww you brought Maddie with as your coach!

@five15photonz The dual USB-C ports are low-key my favorite thing on the spec sheet. Game changer for my time lapse work—I’ve been using a power injector to add USB-PD to a USB signal coming out of a USB-over-Cat5 I use for control. It works but it’s a pain.

We’re here for the Flying Pig 10k, and Kelly happened to mention she was in town on a family group text last night, so I popped down to the courthouse to watch. I felt very underdressed 😂

Really cool to be able to see @kllholt argue in the 6th Circuit this morning! She did a great job!

Amazing light show last night! Pretty cool to see the reflections in the lake, too. #AuroraBorealis #ilwx https://t.co/vIK0VTJRYA

[Brian P. Holt @bpholt]

Aurora from Apple Canyon Lake. Never seen anything like it. 🤩 #ilwx #AuroraBorealis

@five15design It’s wild tonight in the northern hemisphere. Can’t wait to see what you get.

Some recent pictures from Glennalough

Pretty cool to see the aurora borealis from Glennalough tonight! It was a little cloudy but the greens and reds still shined through the gaps.

At points it felt like the best parts of that game were when next year’s team was on the floor. Much love to those who wear the orange and blue. #Illini

[Brian P. Holt @bpholt]

Disappointing finish tonight but what a great season by @IlliniWBB! Future is very bright!

[Brian P. Holt @bpholt]

That was a lot of fun! 1–0 at the Kohl Center #Illini

@five15photonz @PureNewZealand @NikonUSA @Christchurch_NZ Beautiful shot! I love that lens—at this point it’s basically the primary on my Z6ii.

@ALionEye One time I was going through airport security in Austin behind Rick Barnes, when he was the coach there. He noticed my orange polo (Illinois logo hidden under my jacket) and thanked me for being a fan. It was very fun to correct him 😂🔶🔷

Quick snap of the Moon and Mars after tonight’s occultation, taken through @leahdneal’s PowerSeeker 70AZ with my Nikon Z6ii

@elizvangundy Surprised he didn’t go with “hysterical”

@kubukoz @SethTisue @thebigah I was on a kick of using emoji for implicit variable names for a while… might have to start doing that again

📜: Logger[F]
🌯: Monad[F]

etc. 😂
