"Olivo eventually refused to serve as an ad hoc interpreter when her mom needed help communicating at the gynecologist's office.

'You do need to have somebody that knows what they are talking about — that have that terminology, and that they are able to really be your interpreter versus be your daughter,' Olivo said."

Laurence Tratt: Retrofitting JIT Compilers into C Interpreters

Zwanze is a collective of people living in #Brussels who volunteer as #interpreters to support autonomous activist groups and promote joyful multilingualism in our struggles !

We’re throwing a little party to celebrate our existence (since we’re awesome) and also to raise some cash so we can buy the equipment we need (like microphones and radios and long cables so the translation goes from the mouths that speak to the ears that listen)

It’s going to be awesome—there’ll be snacks, bingo, music, and hopefully some sunshine too ! So come on over at Boom Café on April 23rd, and bring some cash ! ❤️‍🔥

This started out as a mere stub while I put together some more resources, and over the years became a quite large list of LISP implementations I have kept an eye on.(...)

Emprender no tiene que ser un camino solitario. En las cooperativas, el esfuerzo individual se transforma en éxito compartido. En nuestra comunidad de traductores, cooperativismo significa:

🤝 Transparencia: comunicación clara y sin burocracia
👍 Sinergia: apoyo y colaboración en proyectos de gran volumen o complejidad
🙌 Respaldo: estabilidad y crecimiento con riesgos distribuidos
👏 Dignidad: tarifas justas y remuneraciones a tiempo, independientemente del ciclo de pago del cliente
🤙 Libertad: flexibilidad y confianza fundamentadas en la responsabilidad mutua

I might be wrong, but I think the lightning talk I held yesterday at #39c3 was the first where I was interpreted into two languages: German and French.

Yay for #interpreters. Also: #interpretationisnottranslation

Have you ever wondered what it's like to create a new programming language? Were you put off by the parsing-theory focus found in most compiler-development books?

Well then, take a look at the "Crafting Interpreters" book, by Robert Nystrom (@munificent). Its online version is completely free (https://craftinginterpreters.com/contents.html), and covers everything from the basics up to bytecode generation, garbage collection and optimizations, in an easy-to-follow manner. Of course, if you find the material useful, consider supporting the author by buying a proper edition of the book (details at https://craftinginterpreters.com/).
