Any sufficiently aggressive type coercion is indistinguishable from weak typing

Man yes, I lost my child'n,
And my women; she quit on me;
And space porbe aint signllled
since it hit Lagrange point three.

I got the billionaire techno blues,
but it still sucks less for me than it does for you.
the billionaire techno blues,
but it's better than bein' poor.

@HowardStaunton @unseenchesspod Ne4? Setting up Qg3?

[Ronan Klyne @ronanklyne]

@destructo9000 Far too true.
My first ever gig was at Brixton academy when maiden were doing gigs to support Clive Burr.
It would be a travesty to allow that place to fall

@nicolasedgwick It takes two to jarr

@m_mazur Everything was so different before The Event

Trying to make my LinkedIn profile more interesting if a recruiter is using a large language model like GPT-4 to send me a message.

Looks like it works on the public version of my profile!

@DefenceHQ @BWallaceMP You forgot to mention the tens of thousands of Iraqis who were killed

[Ronan Klyne @ronanklyne]

@CBrenchley That's high quality work and it looks really cool

[Ronan Klyne @ronanklyne]

@CandaceMHill @foxjust Interesting! A lot more duplicates than I would have thought. But then, it is a very big place

[Ronan Klyne @ronanklyne]

@robsmallshire I thought the second one was Hal Abelson

[Ronan Klyne @ronanklyne]

@90percentgeek I love that bowl

[Ronan Klyne @ronanklyne]

@Tom_Lord ♥️

[Ronan Klyne @ronanklyne]

@TotherAlistair Aah, gotcha.
Maybe it's easier to find common ground in what's definitely not a layered architecture and debate whether hexagonal had a place in that?
I hope you have a nice discussion :)

[Ronan Klyne @ronanklyne]

@oskar_at_net @mat_mcloughlin It's certainly conflating some of the issues

[Ronan Klyne @ronanklyne]

@TotherAlistair Are you looking for rules to follow to produce a layered system or patterns to recognise one? I think each might result in a different formulation of what layers are

[Ronan Klyne @ronanklyne]

@TotherAlistair Could be. It's gotta be wide though. Wide enough that you don't need to go round it.
I think the rule is that a layer hides all access to the layer below and the width of the API is a consequence.
