• Crafting Interpreters

  Read Crafting Interpreters when building Crumb (https://github.com/liam-ilan/crumb). It was indispensable, especially the sections on scope and local variables. The balance between technical implementation and conceptual insights is super helpful, especially when trying to go off of the book’s set path. It’s inspiring to see technical writing done like this.

• The Flix Programming Language

  Just a friendly UBC piggyback on Waterloo’s programming language ;) Over summer, I built my own little functional language, Crumb (https://github.com/liam-ilan/crumb). There’s a template (https://github.com/liam-ilan/crumb-template) for anyone who wants to mess around with it. Any feedback super appreciated :D. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Kids (With Phones) Are Alright

  Sure there was basically a cartel in social media. You saw coordinated censorship campaigns to ban the former president of the United States for example. But I wouldn't discount the amount of political interference there as well. The last administration admitted to flagging individual posts for the social media companies.

• SpaceX to buy Cursor AI coding agent operator Anysphere for $60B

  The thing is, even the center of the road academics who refrain from such comparisons are noting the similarity. The MAGA movement meets the traditional defining characteristics of fascio. We can be rigid and say that only Mussolini‘s political movement can be properly be called fascist.
