An attack on the Saratov oil refinery is currently underway. Preliminary reports indicate the facility was struck, with fires and possible explosions ongoing at the site. The extent of the damage and the impact on infrastructure are still being assessed.


A planned peace plan meeting in Paris this Saturday will not take place, a source at the Élysée Palace says. Earlier reports had suggested high‑level talks between the U.S., Ukraine, France, Germany and the UK to discuss the American peace proposal. It’s now unclear if or when such a gathering will be rescheduled. European leaders, including Germany’s Chancellor Merz and Ukraine’s Zelensky, are still expected to discuss the status of negotiations in upcoming talks.


🇪🇺 EU Foreign Chief Kaja Kallas confirms: the EU has indefinitely immobilized up to €210 billion in Russian assets, a major step to ensure they remain frozen unless Russia pays full reparations to Ukraine. The pressure on Moscow keeps building ahead of next week's European Council.


EU Foreign Policy Chief, Kaja Kallas:

"The EU just decided to indefinitely immobilize Russian assets. This ensures that up to €210 billion in Russian funds stay on EU soil, unless Russia fully pays reparations to Ukraine for the damage it has caused. We keep increasing the pressure on Russia until it takes negotiations seriously."

Europe is finding one spot where it hurts: the wallet.

Title: Concrete syntax matters, actually

Abstract: Too many programming languages researchers dismiss concrete syntax as an afterthought: arbitrary, superficial, or distracting from matters of “actual” (semantic) importance. This received view ignores a critical factor: the human at the computer. Concrete syntax defines the principal interface through which programmers interact with the vast majority of programming languages. Moreover, this interface is hardly decoupled from semantics; even trivial-seeming differences in keywords, sigils, and indentation can affect how programmers utilize and reason about language behavior. Using examples from asynchronous control flow, gradual subtyping, first-class functions, and more, I will make a case for the importance of concrete syntax, why language designers often overlook it, and what this implies for those of us who care about the usability of abstractions. Finally, I will describe some preliminary work evaluating the role of lexical ambiguity in programmer comprehension of type system features.

in reply to Nintendo .DS_Store

My talk "Concrete syntax matters, actually" from the Topos Institute Colloquium is now available on YouTube! It's an exhortation to reframe our idea of UI to include regular, shmegular programming languages, and the oft-derided task of defining their actual lexical sequences.

Un albero artificiale è illuminato di rosso in un ambiente scuro. L'albero è a forma conica ed è decorato con luci rosse. Alla base dell'albero c'è un motivo a forma di pentagramma nero, circondato da piccole candele bianche. Sulla parete a destra dell'albero c'è un arazzo nero con figure rosse e testo. Nell'angolo della stanza, si può scorgere un mobile nero a più livelli.

Il testo sull'arazzo recita: "SCROLLS".

Algorithmic social media now flooded with scary “spontaneous comments” from more or less known people who say “we’re at the brink of nuclear war” because Europe doesn’t want to capitulate to #Russia

One important detail missing here is that it’s not Europe who started the dumbest war of century on 24 February 2022 but Russia. And it’s only Russia who can end it.

This notion however completely evades the “nuclear war” proponents who seems to automatically assume Russia has some kind of intrinsic right to invade and start nuclear wars as if it was some kind of natural phenomenon, and zero discretion at whether to do it or not.
