Chrissie Mayr's SimpCast 22 - Simp Hop Anonymous

I just had a very frustrating dialogue with a guy calling himself William Washington. I said it's not the word nigger that is in itself offensive, it is the way the word is used that is offensive. He didn't get it. I explained that if the word was in itself offensive then black people wouldn't use it to refer to themselves. He still didn't get it. He said that to black people, hearing the word is like being punched in the face. I said if that was so then black people would hate to hear the music I listen to day after day because it would be like being punched in the face twenty times in an hour. He still didn't get it. I asked him if he had ever been punched in the face. He said that if I want to know what he means then I should use that word in a crowd of black people. He still doesn't understand, ... Or he is just trying to tell me that all black people are racist and would beat the crap out of any white person who used the word nigger, no matter the context. So please, someone, publish this in LA and tell everyone where I live. I'm less than a hundred miles away.

... 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, ...

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.
