Ah, the classics.

this is so bleak

Made the cover of @acm.org with "A Decade of Docker Containers", recapping much systems work! Docker grew so fast in those early days that we never got a chance to write an academic paper about it, so this has been a long time coming cacm.acm.org/research/a-d... w/ @justincormack.bsky.social djs55

In my neck of the woods—

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

The forecast is for fewer meetings in the coming week than there were in the past week—a trend I heartily support.

FYI: if you are looking for an easy weekend activity (especially if you have kids and are trying to get out of the house) — would recommend hitting up the University of Utah’s student union basement! Bowling, ping pong, arcade games — and not a college kid in sight!

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

My former student's paper at ASE 2025, about testing "WIT binding generators," is finally available in the IEEE digital library. #webassembly #fuzzing doi.org/10.1109/ASE6...

I've just started _Service Model_ by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I'm just two chapters in, but so far it is great. My thought: "This is exactly what the robot valet would be thinking." The valet's human master is dead? Perhaps a meal would help the master feel better.

I recently finished _There Is No Antimemetics Division_ by qntm. It was an enjoyable and creative sci-fi/horror story; recommended. The last part seemed to stray from the basic premise—i.e., the story wasn't driven by the threat of not being able to remember things—but eventually came back to it.

My colleagues and I wrote a report that finds that traffic calming saves lives and improves quality of life. You can read the summary and the report at the link below. If you're in Utah, please share it with your state legislator + Sen Harper and ask them to vote no on SB 242

Almost there!

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

This, a thousand times this. And it's the reason there's no good past America to go "back" to -- the America we want to be exists only in a future we create. We should create it.

Happy 50th Birthday to the Scheme programming language! May you keep evolving and inspiring!

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.
