For those of you who may be looking for a "shorter" Otho read, I published a lighter post on Martial's Epigram about the death of Otho four years to the day.

Now that my son is back home, unscathed, I shall deliberately steer my mind away from the unsettling topic of #BrownUniversity #shooting, and switch back to my comfortable stomping ground: programming languages.

For more than five decades, mathematicians, logicians, philosophers, and computer scientists have been profitably using the succinct, cogent, 2D mathematical notation in their type theoretic publications. Yet, the dependently typed languages, despite their modernity, struggle with their 1D type-level syntaxes. These languages, by their very nature, demand from the user a level of mathematical sophistication uncommon amongst the IT JavaScript webapp coders. As such, the only ones who are currently using these languages are those programmers with a mathematical bent.

So, these languages might as well drop their 1D syntactic pretences, and adopt the 2D syntax adapted from the mathematical notation universally used in simple, dependent, and homotopy type theoretic publications—something akin to the syntax of #Epigram.

O man, but ye think much o’ truth;
Ye surely hae a hoard o’t
Laid up in store—for frae your youth,
Ye seldom spent a word o’t;
But falsity, ye mak’ a slave,
For every day ye wear it,
While truth, ye like your siller save,
Ay speakin’ lies, to spare it.

—“Epigram to a Liar”, by Hugh Porter (c.1780–?), the Ulster–Scots weaver-poet known as “the Bard of Moneyslane”. Published in POETICAL ATTEMPTS (1813)

This was one of my first epigram collages, from before I even had a scanner. I started posting them on tumblr around twelve years ago. Really early iPhone & iPhoto was all. How many? I really don't know, but I've been working to inventory/archive them. Definitely more than 1,500, maybe more than 2,000. #epigram #collage #Epigram-Collage

When you just want a little something more without downing another pint, you can order a baby beer. #Epigram #BrewPub

WRITE EVERY DAY

Pyreneus, king who tried
to force the Muses, died
falling into dreams of flight.
Does such fate await me?
It might.

i prefer to think in -ishes, but never wishes, for more than everything comes partial, while nothingish comes whole.

Not posted a Martial translation for a while. Here's Epigram 48 from Book 2, recast for #Glasgow.

Don't read further in this thread if likely to be offended by Roman filth...

I just decompiled my first #Smalltalk compiled method into #WebAssembly! #epigram #caffeine

I finally realized I'd never checked the "bot" checkbox on @epigram's account, because I don't think it existed when I first set up that account.

...and then I had to reset the password, because apparently I never wrote it down, oops....

...and then while I was there, I updated the info and spruced it up a bit. (Banners also weren't a thing yet.)

...and maybe now is the time to get some ideas for how to update the content! A lot of the text is rather dated...
