I scored 13/28 on https://jsdate.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

But jokes aside, I had great fun—and quite a few headscratches, yaw drops, and sighs

The Strangler Fig pattern gradually replaces legacy systems. Route new features to new code, legacy features to old code. Gradually migrate until the old system withers away. Safe modernization. #DesignPattern #SoftwareEngineering

New blog post: MSc theses on connecting RTLola via FMUs and a bit of a null-result on using LLMs for code generation

Two of my MSc students at #UIO finished this summer, Selleban M. Farah on “FMUs for runtime monitoring in RTLola”, and Jonas da Silva on “Towards Automated Language Server Synthesis”.

Click on through for more details!

Scary headlines like this mask what I call "talent debt": when companies cut juniors because seniors + AI seem faster, forgetting that AI doesn't train future leaders. You're not saving money, you're cutting off your pipeline.

Just stumbled upon #openrewrite , a tool for automated large scale refactorings and migrations. Looks interesting. Anyone using it?

I consider the scenario where one vehicle tells another one where to get food, and run a #thoughtExperiment with crow tool use. I find programs want to alternate autonomous action with human-in-the-loop interpretive collaboration.

My promised bibliography of open-access CAISOR #AI articles from the 1960s-2010s. Each citation links into https://codeberg.org/tfw/pawn-75 's collected oddities. Because I focused on preserving rarities such as draft versions of papers from the 60s and a single sentence article with JOHN overwrote onto it, my collection should be regarded as a primary archive.

Filled in a questionaire.

"What should urgently change within your area?"

My answer from the top of my head: "The avoidance of complexity should be seen as a top skill. "Corporate agile" should make way for "real agile". Value for humans should be the center of attention."

Anyone has other (maybe better?) answers?

Article with one minute video showing four lisp images chattering unattended.

There is no leader- they're just talking. However, they are using #emacs #slime #eepitch and sleeps so you can usefully watch them.

A precursor to next week's episode featuring @ksaj discussing breitenbergian vehicles etc.

Do you use a cluster of #lisp images?

I'm really, really, really happy with how this turned out to work.
CLIM-USER> (eepitch-expr '(get-decoded-time))
(GET-DECODED-TIME)
T

Lisp receives an instruction from emacs to send an instruction to emacs to pitch an instruction to the lisp image, which gets executed, and control returns to the lisp image.

Really simple... Sort of... But so intricate to write. I deal with (writing a smidge of #interactive #lazyEvaluation #functionalProgramming ) :

- Tangling markdown into an asdf :class :package-inferred-system lisp system
- Doing so with scan-file and collect-file from series
- Working with lisp’s make-pathname directories.

How do you respond when someone doesn't know something you think they should...

Shocked? Surprised?

"How do you not know that?"
"I can't believe you don't know that."
"Even my 12-year-old son knows what that is."

I received this reaction during a technical discussion once.

I got defensive - not good for open and honest discussions.
