I have recently decided that my fallback-career bakery will be called Glutenous Maximus

failed to get a pic today before making sandwiches #breadposting

Anybody looking for an extremely talented systems engineer, Rust hacker, and/or compilers person? Let us know! https://mellow.zone/@griffin/115345574924094119

I regret to inform you that “One Battle After Another” absolutely rules and is worth seeing in the theater

is it possible to over-seed bagels #breadposting

Today in my 10:10am class, a student offered this explanation for why some grad students might be late sometimes: “it feels like the first class of the day is always the earliest”

kinda wish the government could shut down *before* my NSF report is due tonight

Biscuits are a Sunday food. #breadposting

The first few leaves are falling, making it hard to see the trail. It’s probably under there.

I’m late to the party, but congratulations to @thezoq2 on defending his PhD!! If you haven’t seen his extremely cool Rustish HDL, Spade, definitely check it out: https://spade-lang.org https://mastodon.social/@thezoq2/115114066989406908

The fuck? Why did it take me this long to make the connection that the Adrian Sampson who started beets is the same Adrian Sampson as @adrian

A long time ago, I won a teaching award and spent the money on a new bike, which made me feel like a little kid. This summer, I finally got it set up as a hardtail and, well, here we go again.

it’s getting sunsetty around here

plain old everyday #breadposting

Many thanks to Carly Rae Jepsen for commemorating this ASPLOS Deadline Day with a hotttt new track!! 🩷 https://youtu.be/_3JmVhy6HnQ

forget “cellar door”; the most beautiful phrase in English is “chili dog” https://youtu.be/6QX57aIDbDU

Suffering acute distress from an email that opened with “hope you had a wonderful summer” in the past tense. Where do I report this?

sunset ride

As part of an effort to avoid real work, I finally got my little RISC-V board (Banana Pi F3) booting as far as initramfs via UART… looking forward to many more thrilling SD card flashings to get the rest of the way to a working thing!

we run sort of a seedy joint around here #breadposting

staring contest underway

I’ve been on “vacation” for a couple of weeks but glad to be back in the land of #breadposting and #caturday

Absurdly proud of @notypes for winning one of two SIGPLAN dissertation awards this year! Check out that award-winning thesis: https://people.csail.mit.edu/rachit/files/pubs/dissertation.pdf (photo credit @avanhatt)

MLIR is great in many ways, but there is also an “MLIR disease”: the tendency for people who don’t know much about compilers to believe that MLIR solves the hard parts of compilers, when it in fact solves the easy parts.

if you make pizza, the law says you must toot it. sorry, but that’s the law. #breadposting

Totally unsurprised to have my NSF POSE about Calyx as an open-source ecosystem declined for a second time! I’m kinda proud of the proposal, though, so I guess I’m putting it here to save it from the void https://www.cs.cornell.edu/~asampson/media/calyx-pose-proposal.pdf

seedy #breadposting & eepy #caturday

A very nice “hands-on” intro to the Filament HDL as compared to Verilog, by Ethan (a recent undergrad graduate from our lab)! https://gabizon103.github.io/blog/intro-filament/

I’m editing/publishing this myself and I have no idea what I’m doing, so if you have comments about the production values, please send them to Aws https://discuss.systems/@sigplan/114614434408897736

can’t stop #breadposting

good news! I am so desperate for any scrap of good news! https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/arts/music/taylor-swift-buys-masters.html

The final-project blog posts for my grad compilers course, #cs6120, are trickling out, and some of them are pretty fun! A couple of examples: Simon Bertron turned quantifier elimination into a source-to-source optimization for Python programs with `any` and `all` […]

we do got waterfalls here

here we go again

supplementing my #breadposting with an early #caturday for extra power

Is it just me and my 8-year-old work iMac, or has GitHub gotten a *lot* slower lately? Like, just entering comments and merging PRs suddenly feels like wading through a sloppy, viscous goo

it’s a rye week #breadposting

I saw Cheekface last night, and I don’t understand why they aren’t the biggest band in the world https://youtu.be/xfrZOLYyK44

I hope we keep repeating “hey tech industry, saving the NSF is in your own self-interest and you should urgently do something” even though the message keeps not getting through to the top. It’s a stall today, but it will be pipeline flush soon […]

Until today, I thought Curtis Sliwa and JoJo Siwa were the same person. “Good for her, astounding second act,” I thought to myself

before & after lunch #breadposting

sun’s out, buns out #breadposting

just some seedy #breadposting

somehow, I can’t muster happiness about even this outcome https://www.nsf.gov/news/statement-director-sethuraman-panchanathan-his-departure

(I’m trying to get back to figure drawing, but quarantining the #badart in a separate Pixelfed account @adrian@pixelfed.art)

[spoilers for the first 80 seconds of “The Rehearsal” S2] I am convinced this is the last thing I will see before I die

#breadposting and #bikeposting in one toot! just got to get mix in some mechanical keyboards to complete the nerd trifecta

seems like Dippin’ Dots should be the ice cream of the present by now
