Algorithmic social media now flooded with scary โspontaneous commentsโ from more or less known people who say โweโre at the brink of nuclear warโ because Europe doesnโt want to capitulate to #Russia
One important detail missing here is that itโs not Europe who started the dumbest war of century on 24 February 2022 but Russia. And itโs only Russia who can end it.
This notion however completely evades the โnuclear warโ 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.

in reply to Nintendo .DS_Store • • •Title: Concrete syntax matters, actually
Abstract: Too many programming languages researchers dismiss concrete syntax as an afterthought: arbitrary, superficial, or distracting from matters of โactualโ (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.
