Thanks to @tsmullaney for a fascinating talk on his new book, The Chinese Computer, and to @ShuminZhai for hosting! The Chinese pioneered predictive text entry, long before it became common on mobile phone keyboards. mitpress.mit.edu/9780262047517/…

@siracusa Congratulations! I’ve been wondering how you had time to do both so many podcasts and work a full-time job — now I know the answer 😄 Also, I just joined atp.fm/join

Some personal news… hypercritical.co/2022/03/30/ind…

This is the best rebuttal I’ve read to the notion that Russia’s war with Ukraine could have been avoided if only NATO hadn’t expanded. It’s not about NATO, it’s about democracy. journalofdemocracy.org/what-putin-fea…

Today is Peace Memorial Day in Taiwan, which commemorates the 228 Massacre, when in 1947 tens of thousands of Taiwanese were killed by their own government. Today we pray for peace in Ukraine and everywhere else that is suffering from war and injustice. taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/ar…

Congrats to @nathanwchen for totally nailing his routines and earning Olympic gold in men’s skating — incredible performances! youtube.com/watch?v=8zVL9W…

@tsmullaney Is that Algol-68? I have a vague memory that its creators defined keywords in human languages besides English, including Chinese

Ever wondered how to #program in #Chinese? 🧐😳👇 若=IF 則=THEN

Klay is back!!! Wooooo! nbcsports.com/bayarea/warrio…

@BungerKCBSRadio I was a longtime listener of you, @SteveBitker and Coach Madden on @KCBSRadio. 8:15 am was the highlight of my morning. RIP Coach, you are already missed.

About two billion smiles. We were all lucky that there was a #JohnMadden RIP, Coach

Maybe there is hope for the Taiwanese language after all! wsj.com/articles/chine…

Recently discovered that @blurofficial, famous in US for “Song 2” (“dadum dumdumdum dumdumdumdum WOOHOO”), performed an awesome acoustic rendition of “Tender” with Jimmy Fallon 🤯 youtube.com/watch?v=V0OurS… Also, lead singer Damon Albarn co-founded @gorillaz 🤯🤯🤯

@gillianrhayes @mark_riedl Probably shouldn’t get too used to the Touch Bar, as Apple has removed it from their newest MacBook Pros

@mark_riedl Tell me more. I want to like it but can never seem to find anything useful to do with it. I need suggestions!

Unpopular opinion: I mostly like the Macbook touchbar. I realize I’m going to lose a lot of followers over this

Oh neat, the University of Washington has a Taiwan Studies Program. Let’s see who its faculty is: “Professor James Lin... earned his PhD in History from the University of California, Berkeley in 2017...” 👀 jsis.washington.edu/taiwan/2018/07…

#chi2021 starts today, and not surprisingly, it’s virtual. Last week, I volunteered to mentor first-time attendees, and about half the time I said, “Well, if this were in person, I would do such and such… Who knows what will happen this time.” Attending CHI will be interesting!

There’s a new font based on mid-century San Francisco street signs, and it’s on sale for only $5! fogcitygothic.com I enjoyed the interview by @peterhartlaub in SF Chronicle with the designer @bzotto: sfchronicle.com/oursf/article/…
