I think I owe @edwinb an apology. I was deeply sceptical about the utility of his funky types in #Idris a few years ago, but having now listened to the interview he did with the #CoRecursive podcast, and also after exposure to #Rust's magnificent error messages, I'm now convinced. https://corecursive.com/006-type-driven-development-and-idris-with-edwin-brady/

As always, interesting interview on #corecursive podcast. About a programming language, #hedy ,to gradually take the training wheels off and end up with a subset of #python. Interesting conversation about programming in non-english languages too.

Captivating #debugging horror story: Coding Machines (how the machines are secretly taking over). This is from 2009. Another attack vector that's possible today is inserting into #LLMs and getting triggered by #adversarial #prompting.

Coding Machines

Listening to the #coRecursive episode with @mickwest and now I really wanna replay pro skater 2. I wasn't even much of a video game buff but man that game brings up some good memories.

In this episode, we'll follow that path. We'll hear the stories of legends like Seymour Papert, who championed active, project-based learning. Of Fred... […]
