Darlene Rojas on Making a Plan of Action

This sounds like a catalog of what's wrong with modern life. After watching her last video, where she talked about wanting to go snowboarding and needing to find some way to fit that in, I thought, well, if she had been going to a conference in Aspen or Davos or somewhere like that then she would be able to do things like that easily, ...  Then it snowed and I went for a walk the next day. I sat by a favorite tree and noticed there was still some snow on the ground. So I ate a tiny but of the snow from a fallen leaf and it tasted great, and I thought "Well, that's my snowboarding trip this year. Get on with doing some more work". I used to like going to the Pyrenees, and it is especially good in winter, but that part of my life is over now. It was good when it happened and I value that immensely, but now it's passed. To live like that you need ridiculous amounts of money and you have to spend most of your time earning that money and you have no time to think about things. So I don't regret it having passed.


I tried to post a comment but YouTube deleted it. I guess the URL to my video was a problem.

... 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, ...

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. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory Illinois. Did
