Distributed computation can be done by functional programming with CRDTs. Consensus is almost never needed. I am happy that this is being adopted by industry. Our Lasp paper from PPDP 2015 has won the 10 year most influential paper award at PPDP 2025. info.ucl.ac.be/~pvr/ppdp-2025…

Trump cannot write this: “I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences.” Someone else did!

Tom Lehrer has passed away at the advanced age of 97. His satirical songs were one of the joys of my youth. If you don't know them, you are missing out on some really great stuff! theguardian.com/music/2025/jul…

Today it was hot, so I used a fan to cool off. But fans are noisy! To get rid of the noise, I use a 220/110 stepdown transformer to feed my 220V fan with 110V. It gives a wonderful breeze and is completely silent! (For Americans, use the same transformer for 110/55 stepdown.)

Oh joy, it's that time of year again when I have to correct exams. Here's a typical answer. I guess this guy's Red Bull did not activate his neurons. You wonder why he is studying computer science and not drawing.
