Sylvie's Garden

Today's David Lynch's Weather Report Project reminded me of the bit in Lewis Carroll's Sylvie and Bruno about Sylvie's Garden (finding that passage is left as an exercise for the reader!). Then that put me in mind of this song, and December 2017 in Cochabamba, which was just fucking crazy!

Speaking of Malibu:


Which gets us back to Wisteria, but in slightly better shape than we were in December 2017!!

A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines.
