Just wrapped up grading for grad compilers! It was a ton of fun, and I hope to keep iterating and improving the course! hat tip to @adrian for the Bril infrastructure which I (ab)used for this course!

Some students have opted to make their final projects public on the course website, so check them out! I know some of them are looking for compilers jobs, so if you're looking for compilers people, check here!

I bet my girlfriend that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.

She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 15 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle to comprehend large numbers.

Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.

Week 8 of the #AniMangaFoundIt #AniMangaPictureChallenge is complete. And a cozy week it was as we explored the colors and temps of Fall in #anime.
