For a few months I lived in Sorata, Bolivia, and there they have an enormous variety of pebbles in the river bed. They also have some of the most beautiful colonial architecture I have ever seen, anywhere. The quality of the workmanship on those buildings, all of which are well over a century old, is superlative.




See my comment on David Lynch's Weather Report today:

Good afternoon David. Today somebody asked me what are my plans and I had to tell him I don't have any. Plans, I said, are for people with money. And then I had a new thought which is that plans are really only necessary if you have money. There seems great potential in that idea. How can we realize it though? Have a great day!

See Brian Douglas on Control Systems Engineering for an insight into the problem of working as a control system engineer.

And on a more practical note, I was wondering whether there is anyone in Tecate who would be interested in designing patios paved with pebbles, ...

I had much better photos but I had to delete them to free up space in my phone.

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. 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. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming.

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ... Sounds like Edith (II) Rix has been online all the time, ...
