   I wish there were a tool to share .bash_history across an organization. This would make onboarding so much easier. It would also help to disseminate shell tricks.

   Another perspective is that Graal & Truffle prove that a large swath of programming language space is semantically equivalent, suggesting that we shift focus of innovation elsewhere.

   Yes, label propagation is very similar to belief propagation on a Gaussian Markov random field (a particularly simple type of graphical model). To be precise this is 'inference' on the graphical model, rather than 'training&#

    I've found HOAS to be a convenient notation for higher order functions in DSLs in Coq [1] and Python [2], but both use cases were to reason about lambda-calculus. [1] https://github.com/fritzo/hstar/blob/

    I think (2) is the crux. You can deceive yourself about your completeness of understanding, but you can't implement an idea in code until you understand (or are at least aware of) a complete set of components.

    But there is mere 3-4 decade gap separating (1) when incomprehensibly complex but working computer systems are created, and (2) when sufficiently powerful reverse engineering systems can simulate those obsolete systems.

    Do you have some good examples of why not to use the Request/Reply pattern? I've been trying to understand why some distributed dataflow systems prefer pushing rather than pulling.

    Gosh, I thought C was "portable assembly". How would your LLIR differ from C?
