The second edition is almost 200 grams heavier than the first one, which absorbed so many of my tears!

Functional Programming in Scala 2nd Edition is in print! Huge thanks and congrats to @mpilquist for updating the whole book and converting all the code to Scala 3.
I'm told there's a 45% discount if you use the code pbpilquist, until May 24.

Gregg Popovich asked whether any of us were carrying guns at the end of his pregame media chat.
"I just wondered because we have a governor and lieutenant governor and an attorney general that made it easier to have more guns. That was a response to our kids getting murdered.”

R.I.P. Bob "crazybob" Lee. His killing was tragic, senseless, and incomprehensible (to me). He was only 43 years old, and so full of life. He was a dear, dear friend. My heart goes out to Krista and the kids. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/cas…

We are failing our children. Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S.
Michelle and I mourn with the students and families of the Covenant School today.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents.
The claim that guns are the leading cause of death for children would only be true if children under 1 are excluded and 18 and 19 year olds are counted as children.

🧵 I’ve been unpleasantly surprised that some people seem to condone the public criticism of employees and/or the public firing of an employee for responding to this criticism.
Here are my thoughts on these topics, which I hope would be obvious to any decent leader. (1/22)

1/2 Some of the books on the right are *amazing*, and I would never discourage anyone from reading the great ones.
But if you’re an OOP developer who just wants to start understanding FP over a weekend, that’s the goal of my little book on the left (alvinalexander.gumroad.com/l…).

@DrEugeniaCheng Hi! I just started The Joy of Abstraction and I love it already. I feel like you read my mind when designing this visual. I’m looking forward to the new perspective you’ll give me as I read my way up that slope. Thanks for being so good at this.
