I’m also on Mastodon as https://hachyderm.io/@BoydStephenSmithJr .
Eh, one of the founders is a friend of a friend, I don’t think it’s “slimy”. Though I have complained about some aspects both publicly and privately to him.
It was easier to get into than to actually buy my own property, but there’s been a lot of changes to it since I bought my first shares of a local (to me) property.
We need to bring back the 92% (marginal) tax bracket.
There’s a cap on how much you (and your employer) pay per SSN / year. So, for particularly high wages or salaries, the percentage goes down, for every dollar made above the cap.
Also, things like stock( option)s often made up a significant portion of compensation for high earners and those aren’t subject to SSI tax at all, IIRC.
I wonder how this is going to affect https://arrived.com/ – I have some minor investments there I’d prefer not to lose.
Still, this is quite good news, for exactly the reasons Warnock says, even if I lose every red cent in my arrived account.
I’m all for calling the US/CA “football” as “gridiron football”. I think it makes it seem more “alpha” anyway. (And, “football” alone matched the game play of “association football” better.)
Bah, what I really need to know is: What are the difference between this and Miley Cryus Linux?
someone had to say it /s
Sony rootkit or before.
You can troll with facts, yes. Trolling is more about intent and tone than accuracy or objectivity.
Reality has long had a liberal bias.
Sphinx of the black quartz judge my vow.
Yeah, GRTT wasn’t really invented until 2021. Of course it borrows from many other theories, but it is not easy to fit under existing calculi (tho it can be “lowered” to MLTT).
I want a language with an internal/core calculus of GRTT with a specific grading that I believe will provide both optimal evaluation and prompt resource release. You aren’t going to get that by building on top of another language.
Of course you could do it as a library for another language, but the few values you could lift/lower and the necessary analysis do to bidirectional type inference/checking mean that you are writing a compile phase whether you call it that or not. In theory, you might save on the tokenizer/parser, but those are trivial to write. You might be able to reuse parts of the API/ABI, which could be an advantage if the underlying language has a good, stable one that can reflect your linking/calling/passing restrictions; but that’s not likely.

👍 : Ranch instead of spicy mayo
NGL, I will be trying the ranch+sushi combination myself.
Insular, yeah. Hostile, not really. That said, I don’t mind seriousness being the default, and humor being clearly marked (to avoid Poe’s Law confusions).
Retiring? Or changing careers?
I don’t think I can retire right now. I hope you are doing better than I.
Agreed. I don’t think it should be called typing; it’s more tagging (yes, like tagged unions). But, I don’t think I’ll see that semantic shift in my lifetime.
Anyway, I prefer my types static and my functions curried, which is why I do PureScript, Idris, and Haskell for my personal projects.
If you read the literature, particularly “Types and Programming Language”, you’ll find that “dynamic typing” isn’t even considered typing. If you can have a type error at runtime you’ve defeated the reason to add a type system: to reduce runtime errors. The hope is that “well-typed programs don’t go wrong” tho there are some limits to what any type system can do (e.g. Rice’s Theorem).
That said. Static v. Dynamic is much more precise than Strong v. Weak and should be preferred.
Implicit v. Manifest is less useful just because it’s a broad spectrum, basically inculcating how much type inference is done and “how much” generally depends a lot the input program(s). Haskell does whole-program inference, tho GHC (the only Haskell compiler) has a number of syntactic forms that can’t be inferred. Scala only does local inference. C doesn’t infer types, though is gets close with how it treats functions with no-argument in the prototype and varargs stuff. C++ uses auto for some type inference, which is still somewhat manifest, but also mostly implicit.
I think weak typing is a good name for when there are invisible coercions, but that doesn’t actually have much to do with proper types.
Anyway, great comment, If more people would use static/dynamic and explicit/implicit instead of strong/weak, there’d be less miscommunication.
I’m not sure if any of those commits did, but I worked 2 years doing Haskell backend and jQuery+Bootstrap frontend for Masterword. Before that I did some work for Wire: https://github.com/wireapp/wire-server/commits?author=stephen-smith Before that, I worked at TGCS for nearly a decade.
But, right now I am still looking for work. I’ve actually been looking since April 2025 when my time at Masterword ended, but I did update my “hire me” posts back in February because my living situation changed, opening up more opportunities. Originally I needed something remote so I could continue to take care of my father (RIP), now relocation is certainly an option.

I don’t think objects without a subjective experience need to give or are capable of giving consent. I don’t think anyone needs to ask their fleshlight for consent, e.g.
If it were a living deer, then it would need to give consent but be unable to. (I think it’s reasonable to say any supposed communications from the deer is less trustworthy than “Facilitated Communication”, and not sufficient consent.)
