I wrote a thing! Technically it’s an opinion piece but secretly it’s a love letter to Cornell. www.cornellsun.com/article/2025...

Cornell AAUP statement on “the deal” aaup-cornell.org/2025/11/07/s...

Always remember to capitalize “mealy” when talking about automata or people will think you have an infestation.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

I came all the way to Coimbra wearing this silly t-shirt and @justinesherry.bsky.social isn’t even here 😭

Tired of receiving one-line “reviews”? Ask your doctor whether NINes is right for you. for you.

We are getting closer to the NINeS deadline (October 1). Watch Scott talk about why you should submit your work to NINeS!

Colden was one of the fastest cyclists in Ithaca and a sometimes member of Team 545. The best mechanic in town, he built up a bike for me a few years ago. I’m shocked he’s gone but unsurprised by his final heroic act—putting himself in danger to protect others. RIP 💔 sfstandard.com/2025/07/31/s...

This week, we hear @natefoster.bsky.social's response to Why Nines? A cat is involved in producing the video, but like many good producers does not appear in the video.

I like to eat these chips this time of year. It’s so damn literal! (With apologies to Mitch Hedberg.)

What if the real POPL wasn't the papers we submitted, but all the memes we posted in Slack channels along the way...

The voiceover to me writing the introduction for our POPL submission... "Girl, don't do it, it's not worth it" "I'm not gonna do it girl, I was just thinking about it, I'm not gonna do it" "I DID IT"

I can't believe it's POPL 2026. My first submission is legal drinking age now in all US states 🍻

Next up @apanda talks about Why Nines? No cats this time because they were all busy working on their NINeS papers.

My PLDI hotel doesn't have a 4th floor because of superstition, but c'mon man... my room is on the 5th floor, and I know what floor I’m really on.

I'm pleased to announce OxCaml! OxCaml is Jane Street's branch of OCaml. We've given it a new name and a snazzy logo, and done a bunch of work to make it easy for people to try.

Been a while since I did a bike race, but looks like I haven't forgotten my pain face.

Writing my CAREER proposal in the 2010s (after several years of anemic hiring and with an NSF pumped full of Obama stimulus funds) vs. junior faculty writing CAREER proposals today

First bike race since 2023… Oof. For once, my Garmin gets it right.

Nice to see some big lambdas at the SRI Formal Methods Summer School

Teaching at a formal methods summer school today so naturally... Thanks @justinesherry.bsky.social!

At a soccer tournament near Philly… Overheard a family discussing Sheetz vs. Wawa and one of them said: “The Pope went to Villanova so you know he loves Wawa”

I order the club sandwich all the time and I'm not even a member, man. I don't know how I get away with it.

Well, lookee here! Seems like Mike Greenberg needed a static analysis after all. sigops.org/s/conference...

@alphaconvert.bsky.social I believe "ownership" generally tracks back through this paper by Noble: doi.org/10.1145/2869.... It cites Hogg's "Islands" and Almeida's "Balloons" as inspiration. So, like the bad sweaters we all used to wear, the terminology was even more colorful in the 90s!
