The slides of my talk "On the design of notations (programmers are humans too)" at the #cwilectures2019 in honour of @gvanrossum receiving a Dijkstra Fellowship are online at https://t.co/kIVDMhdUBc @CWInl
It’s a wrap! What a great selection of speakers today at #cwilectures2019: Gilles Brassard, @chaumdotcom, Claude Crépeau, @AnnaLysyanskaya, and Serge Fehr, all invited by CWI’s Ronald Cramer
Anna Lysyanskaya of @BrownUniversity illustrates cryptographic approaches to prevent ‘1984’ scenarios, as envisioned by @chaumdotcom. She guides her audience through anonymous credentials, anonymous e-cash, untraceable e-tokens, and beyond. #cwilectures2019
CWI’s Serge Fehr considers himself a scientific grandchild of @chaumdotcom, who just received the #dijkstrafellowship Today he discusses how collaborating in multiparty computation is possible without compromising data #cwilectures2019
You see Dijkstra Fellowship winners @gvanrossum & @chaumdotcom, I see my own history. Did my BSc thesis on Python as the first language to learn programming; did one of my MSc on the Dining Cryptographers problem. #cwilectures2019 #cwilectures #soirée
Good to see the ex-BDFL in real life. A day in the life of Python was great. Thanks to @gvanrossum @stevenpemberton @CWInl #cwilectures2019 #diversity #python #software #blastfromthepast #computerscience
.@gvanrossum also talks about #diversity. ‘Why did we end up with mostly white men?’ Women explained Guido this had to change and he was motivated to do so. The #Python community changed itself to be more women friendly. BTW, check his t-shirt😉. #WomenInSTEM #WomenWhoCode
Myself and @Evan_Strm had a quick chat with @dabeaz at the #cwilectures2019 His talks and lectures on #Python are always super awesome #nerdgoals
"#Packaging in #Python is a huge mess. I'm trying to keep distance from it and let the community work on it."
@gvanrossum at #CWILectures2019
I knew it.
“Packaging stinks, and it stinks in all languages, so I try to stay as far away from it as possible” @gvanrossum #cwilectures #cwilectures2019
Happy to give something back to @gvanrossum, by lending him my powersupply to finish his presentation at #cwilectures2019
Starting Xmas 1989 Guido spent most of his spare time on #Python, as it wasn’t in his job description and he didn’t want to ‘waste’ government money on the development. #cwilectures2019
In a few moments @gvanrossum will take the stage for his lecture ‘#Python: an experiment in language design by community’. #cwilectures2019
"The world needs our feminist energy" - @gvanrossum 's t-shirt for #cwilectures2019
(thanks for letting me sit in for you @ramalhoorg )
Programming language ABC is the precursor of #Python says Lambert Meertens at the #cwilectures2019. How does he know that? The internet says so, so it must be true 😅.
Next up #cwilectures2019: Sape Mullender. Guido van Rossum was a member of his team at CWI when he developed #Python. He will try to answer the question ‘Can dictators be good’?
.@dabeaz indicates that incorporating #Python into his supercomputer project, revolutionized the way in which the scientists were able to interact with their software. #cwilectures2019
.@lynda_hardman announces our next speaker @dabeaz at the #cwilectures2019. He used #Python to run on a supercomputer.
