as a real estate agent, I couldn't possibly ask you for more money. But, perchance, if I turned around, and a paper bag full of money was to materialise on the table... why, that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world now, would it?

Minister Victor Dominello says while real estate agents will be banned from asking for more rent to secure a property, hopeful tenants can offer more off their own bat. He insists that will still take edge off rental market. #nswpol

Simon Peyton Jones gave the very first talk about Verse, the new programming language we're building for the metaverse. (Warning: this talk is for programming language theorists and implementors, not new programmers. Tutorials coming in early 2023!)
Ian Kettlewell@kettlecorn

Technical presentation on Epic's new programming language: simon.peytonjones.org/assets/pdfs/ha… This is the sort of research that only comes out of a company serious about treating the 'metaverse' as a medium, not a product.

I want David Cronenberg to design the new USB standard, so all the ports and plugs sigh and moan and writhe before finally accommodating each other’s anatomy in a blissful, disturbing union that allows charging and data transfer to occur effortlessly between all equipment.

The Macquarie Dictionary 2022 People's Choice Word of the Year is "bachelor's handbag". We think this word is a funny, clever coinage. Australians flocked in droves to vote it into the top spot! See more here: macquariedictionary.com.au/resources/view…

@SamuraiBeanDog My visual system is on constant scan for rocks matching the pattern of limestone, shale and sandstone outcrop now. Feels similar to scanning for people’s silhouettes after way too much fps.

Hey @jeff_kennett, speaking of how the state should be run, do you still think this was a good call? Just curious. Enjoy your evening, feel free to tweet through it.

RIP to one of the most influential voices in computing. “The Mythical Man-Month,” and his ideas about “chief programmer teams,” had huge impact on the discipline of software project management.

Sad news from @unccs — Fred P. Brooks, the founder and long-time chair of the department (and a major influence on my professional outlook) passed away a few hours ago.
