@leva_levchenko @raykhrud Единственное бельгийское пиво, кстати, которого сами бельгийцы избегают. Его варится огромное количество, и практически всё до последней капли идёт на экспорт.

@azaidman This could be your chance to start!

I figured it out by year 3, but it didn't work so I had to rewrite it with a different title in year 5...

For all 5-year PhD programs:

What year of your PhD did you figure out what your dissertation would be about?

@aserebrenik @azaidman More competition for @RaincodeLegacy who has been running COBOL in the cloud and/or on Linux for a loooong time ;)

@CoolSWEng @MrHritik I've switched to JetBrains Mono last year, for all IDEs as well as for slides, and quite content with the outcome. Not sure it would've solved this particular case, though...

@HeptaSean @richpaige Yes, I've been advocating Python as the 1st language too since at least 2002! But then again, my first language was strongly typed (Pascal), so everything about me is wrong. And C also gets formatted structurally anyway, only it's harder to parse (and C++ is almost impossible).

Greg Michaelson's talk at #prog21 started with interesting contemplations of where programming paradigms came from and how to teach them, and quickly deteriorated to the author bashing Python and Haskell as being "horrible" and "unrealistic". Puzzling.

[Vadim Zaytsev @grammarware]

@richpaige It started with "teach concepts, not language" and "choose language close to your heart" (which I can get behind). The author seemed to be a firm believer that C and Asm are the only languages representative of real life and thus the only choices to teach computational thinking.

@cmeik What kind of evil are you brewing now?!

[Vadim Zaytsev @grammarware]

@AlexAbreuDev @programmingconf @RaincodeLabs @ProWebWorkshop We're working on it. Realistically it will be around next week, this week #prog21 orgs have a lot of more urgent stuff to worry about.

To be fair to the reviewer, this does not guarantee that one understands the work one published before :)

[Gokul Swamy @g_k_swamy]

got an ICML review insisting we do not understand the work of x et al. when we are, in fact, x et al. #ICML2021

@kim_mens @llvmorg If you want a loop, enjoy this one ten lines below

#CoCoDo/#prog21 speaker: "@llvmorg has an optimiser phase because we are humans and we do not write well-optimised code!"

My inner voice: "writing non-optimised code? speak for yourself!"

@samthecoder @programmingconf I'm literally the only person in the world that could be interested in sushi made of cheese, meat and tomatoes :)

[Vadim Zaytsev @grammarware]

Today is the start of @programmingconf, and even more importantly, the day of #CoCoDo! I didn't travel anywhere and didn't get to meet anyone in person, but at least I received a conference-style breakfast:

[Vadim Zaytsev @grammarware]

Right now live at #CoCoDo: @EelcoVisser demoing @Spoofax. Hurry up and join through @programmingconf's Discord and Zoom!
