@neongod @inthehands Reminds me of some of the slogans at the CMU G20 protest from a long while ago:

- Support Vector Machines!
- Bayesian Against Discrimination
- Free Variables!
- End the Duality Gap
- Map Reduce; Map Reuse; Map Recycle

Bonus: spot the young John Oliver in the march!

@inthehands I can’t believe this is real. Even satire is failing us since the reality seems a lot worse.

@inthehands TOML? https://toml.io/en/

@timbray @anildash I don’t have an opinion on MCP but I’m old enough to remember when SOAP/WSDL and RDF/SPARQL enjoyed a lot of attention and industry buy-in.

@mistersql @darkuncle YOLO?

- First Available, First Out
- First Out, More Out
- You Out, Last Out

@mistersql @darkuncle There are three kinds of queues:
- FAFO
- FOMO
- YOLO

A friend attending #ICML just sent me a photo of this front runner for best poster award.

The universe is wild.

This streak on a Hubble photo, originally thought to be an imaging glitch, is actually a 200,000 light year trail of new stars formed by the wake of a black hole that was ejected from the galaxy at the top right.

For reference, that streak is about twice the diameter of the Milky Way!
