A small woodcut with Prague's cityscape (?) at the end of an epigram. The page and the #epigram are included into a book printed in #Prague. It's a miniature reference, a playful detail, and likely only done because the printer had such a woodcut available during the printing process. #bookhistory

amen zwa, esq.Dec 16

Now that my son is back home, unscathed, I shall deliberately steer my mind away from the unsettling topic of #BrownUniversity #shooting, and switch back to my comfortable stomping ground: programming languages.

For more than five decades, mathematicians, logicians, philosophers, and computer scientists have been profitably using the succinct, cogent, 2D mathematical notation in their type theoretic publications. Yet, the dependently typed languages, despite their modernity, struggle with their 1D type-level syntaxes. These languages, by their very nature, demand from the user a level of mathematical sophistication uncommon amongst the IT JavaScript webapp coders. As such, the only ones who are currently using these languages are those programmers with a mathematical bent.

So, these languages might as well drop their 1D syntactic pretences, and adopt the 2D syntax adapted from the mathematical notation universally used in simple, dependent, and homotopy type theoretic publications—something akin to the syntax of #Epigram.

O man, but ye think much o’ truth;
Ye surely hae a hoard o’t
Laid up in store—for frae your youth,
Ye seldom spent a word o’t;
But falsity, ye mak’ a slave,
For every day ye wear it,
While truth, ye like your siller save,
Ay speakin’ lies, to spare it.

—“Epigram to a Liar”, by Hugh Porter (c.1780–?), the Ulster–Scots weaver-poet known as “the Bard of Moneyslane”. Published in POETICAL ATTEMPTS (1813)

This was one of my first epigram collages, from before I even had a scanner. I started posting them on tumblr around twelve years ago. Really early iPhone & iPhoto was all. How many? I really don't know, but I've been working to inventory/archive them. Definitely more than 1,500, maybe more than 2,000. #epigram #collage #Epigram-Collage

#Epigram: The clever little show-off at the party, trying to outsmart everyone with a witty turn of phrase. Often paradoxical, sometimes poetic, & always trying to be the smartest kid in the room. E.g. "I can resist everything except temptation." -- Oscar Wilde
If aphorisms are polite, epigrams are sardonic little brats with perfect hair.
