β€œi should make a programming tool for making art,” thinks a programmer, β€œand it will get artists more interested in programming.”

what this actually does, in my observation, is get programmers more interested in art. but that’s a good outcome!

this isn’t 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

it’s common to wonder how to make friends as an adult in the area where you live, but i’m curious about flipping this on it’s 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?

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 βˆ€Ξ±. Ξ± β†  Ξ± β†  Ξ± β€’ Ξ± . we simplify/generalize prior work by parameterizing our logical relation with a resource algebra
