Just gave a guest lecture on Functional Programming and Category Theory to @kyptin's UNC class of CS undergraduates! 🎉 If you're looking for a practical talk on reducing bugs in TypeScript, check out the talk or the repository. https://t.co/8yQrBGlxBi https://t.co/Y2qKaGhkfe

My university just announced that it’s dumping Blackboard, and there was much rejoicing. Why is Blackboard universally reviled? There’s a standard story of why "enterprise software" sucks. If you’ll bear with me, I think this is best appreciated by talking about… baby clothes!

You know you're a developer when…

@boydgraber Congrats on some good exposure! I like the area of research, BTW. And also BTW, it’s cool to see what you’ve been up to lo these many years.

@dwightknoll A challenge: open ‘em up, remove the LED, and put ‘em back together. Worst case you break a $16 pair of 🎧.

[Jeff Terrell, Ph.D. @kyptin]

@dwightknoll Here’s the setting for that.

@dwightknoll Although we’ve discussed its shortcomings before, I still recommend TweetBot for iOS.

@EgriNagy For a while in grad school I used pine for email and vim to compose email. Afterwards, it took me a while to break the habit of typing <escape>:wq when I was finished typing.

@dave_yarwood Every thing that you just said…is my favorite thing to do, every day!

Nacho Libre, hands down.

[Jeff Terrell, Ph.D. @kyptin]

@dwightknoll Totally agree.

Interesting. The tomatometer was lower for this one and the audience score higher than Nacho Libre.

@dwightknoll True, but Apple usually has good attention to detail.

@arongriffis @chrishouser You should be able to do that in a pipe with entr, possibly in a while loop in your shell. https://t.co/YPADlxbvZ4

@robwitman @OmronAutomation You must be an engineer. 😉

@hartsock Good point! I was in Iowa though, so I don’t think that was it. And another friend explained it to me in a way that makes sense.

I’m seriously perplexed by this. The sun seems to be rising from a direction more north than south. These pics were captured within seconds of each other. Phone was carefully pointed in the direction of the road. Can anybody help me understand how this works?
