FP friends -- I'm pleased to announce that JFP is establishing the Richard Bird Distinguished Dissertation Award, to recognise an outstanding PhD dissertation in functional programming. Please share! https://t.co/QDIeGVdY5w
@paulg Ah - I though it was supposed to say “More people get richer from starting companies now than did in 1982” but the sentence does indeed parse fine as it stands. Somhow my brain wanted to read it differently :-)
@paulg@paulg - there seems to be a typo in this sentence: "People get richer from starting companies now than they did in 1982, because the companies do different things."
FP folks -- please encourage recently completed PhD students to publish their dissertation abstracts in the Journal of Functional Programming: simple process, no refereeing, open access, 200+ published to date, deadline 31st May 2026. Please share! https://t.co/EdpoahnZmW

Haven't made beef bourguignon in ages, but the lost-in-time days between xmas and new year is a perfect chance to have another go. It took most of the day, but worked out really well. Many thanks to our local butcher @JohnnyPusztai for the excellent beef!
