Go Carbon! Ooops #golang #CarbonLang #google Disclaimer: This is very toungue-in-cheek. Neither langs get my vote of confidence. Better alternatives exist. Couldn't resist the wordplay.

Richard Bird passed away last night, after a long illness. He was hugely influential in FP, including Haskell, and in MPC. He will be remembered for the elegance of his work and his writing. He was also my supervisor, my colleague, and my friend, and I will miss him greatly.

The Russian state is saying it is not killing civilians. That is a lie. This morning in Kyiv I saw it with my own eyes.

Yes, exactly this. Pragmatism is another such word.
@tikhonjelvis You give the SW folks who use this word too much credit. In fields like medicine, it might actually mean something. But In the software world, 95% of the time it is an insecurity-driven attempt at authority, with no research or methodology to back up the claim.

We've had an uptick in usage in Eastern Europe & rumors are circulating that Signal is hacked & compromised. This is false. Signal is not hacked. We believe these rumors are part of a coordinated misinformation campaign meant to encourage people to use less secure alternatives.

It is the right decision! I can’t imagine playing a match with the Russian National Team in a situation when armed aggression in Ukraine continues. Russian footballers and fans are not responsible for this, but we can’t pretend that nothing is happening.
Koniec ze słowami, czas na czyny! W związku z eskalacją agresji Federacji Rosyjskiej na Ukrainę, reprezentacja Polski nie zamierza rozegrać barażowego meczu z rep. Rosji. To jedyna słuszna decyzja. Prowadzimy rozmowy z federacjami 🇸🇪 i 🇨🇿, aby przedstawić FIFA wspólne stanowisko.

.@ZelenskyyUa's tv address to the Russian (!) people might be the most moving speech that I've ever seen in my entire life. The whole world needs to see, understand and share this crucial Ukrainian message. #StandWithUkraine #Ukraine #Україна #Russia #Россия
