βi should make a programming tool for making art,β thinks a programmer, βand it will get artists more interested in programming.β
what this actually does, in my observation, is get programmers more interested in art. but thatβs a good outcome!
slides for my TYPES 2025 talk, "a guided tour of polarity and focusing", are available here:

it was recorded, but the recording may not be up for awhile. if you have questions about anything on the slides in the meantime, let me know!
update: recording available now! https://youtu.be/EbcEX2SyObs?si=dVx6ptl7BfbdookU
i do have better things to do than shitpost at the moment, but look, this is the situation
not all tasks require the entirety of your ass

[oblique strategy] expose some internal state
itβs common to wonder how to make friends as an adult in the area where you live, but iβm curious about flipping this on itβs head: how and where would someone find you in a disposition open to making a friend? in what situations do you welcome an introduction to a stranger?
this isnβt at all rhetorical btw, i am wondering about specific answers for people reading this. in all likelihood you are the kinds of people i want to make friends with so this is pragmatic information

just remembered to post about this slightly old news: a paper i coauthored with @cbaberle@mathstodon.xyz, Karl Crary, and Frank Pfenning was accepted to FSCD:
Substructural Parametricity
https://chrisamaphone.hyperkind.org/papers/fscd25-substructural-parametricity.pdf
the goal of this work is to get stronger "theorems for free"-style reasoning with a general account of substructural logics. e.g. there's only one (canonical) value of the ordered type βΞ±. Ξ± β Ξ± β Ξ± β’ Ξ± . we simplify/generalize prior work by parameterizing our logical relation with a resource algebra
