Bunch of great talks from #StrangeLoop2023 and I don't think they're all uploaded yet.

I finally got round to attending the Strange Loop conference for the first and last time (since the organizers won’t do another one) . What’s in a name? From an old write-up on UIUC’s website) - this being the alma mater of organizer Alex Miller: the conference has been described as a “who’s - who of interesting people doing applied computer science”. The current website describes its goal as “to make connections with the creators and users of the languages, libraries, tools, and techniques at the forefront of the industry”.
This was a fucking fantastic talk by @b0rk -- one of the highlights of #StrangeLoop2023 . Well worth catching on YT.

"New algorithms for collaborative text editing" by Martin Kleppmann (Strange Loop 2023)
A fellow #StrangeLoop2023 attendee, @jamesbvaughan, made the most of being stuck without working wifi on his #SouthWest flight back!
I spent a recent flight finding out what I could do with a connection to the flight’s wifi, but without access to the internet. I was on my way home from Strange Loop, a direct flight from St. Louis to Oakland. It’s a long enough flight that I planned to purchase the $8 internet access and get some work done, but Southwest’s wifi portal wouldn’t accept any form of payment. The web page didn’t give me any helpful error messages, so I opened up my browser’s network dev tools to see if I could figure out what was going wrong.
