Algebraic pattern matching in join calculus, by Qin Ma and Luc Maranget. “We propose an extension of the join calculus with pattern matching on algebraic data types. Our initial motivation is twofold: to provide an intuitive semantics of the interaction between concurrency and pattern matching; to define a practical compilation scheme from extended join definitions into ordinary ones plus ML pattern matching. To assess the correctness of our compilation scheme, we develop a theory of the applied join calculus, a calculus with value passing and value matching. We implement this calculus as an extension of the current JoCaml system.”

The winning design of the new euro coin turned out very nice, I think: “The design symbolises that the euro is the latest step in the long history of trade, from pre-historic barter – evoked by the deliberately primitive design – to Economic and Monetary Union.”

Which it don’t follow me
But I’m not there, I’m gone

The evening star must be drooping and shedding her sparkler dims on the prairie, which is just before the coming of complete night that blesses the earth, darkens all rivers, cups the peaks and folds the final shore in, and nobody, nobody knows what’s going to happen to anybody besides the forlorn rags of growing old, I think of Dean Moriarty, I even think of Old Dean Moriarty the father we never found, I think of Dean Moriarty. — Jack Kerouac, On The Road

Bundesverfassungsgericht schafft neues Grundrecht auf digitale Intimsphäre, “Das Bundesverfassungsgericht hat heute dem nordrheinwestfälischen Verfassungsschutzgesetz, das die sog. Online-Durchsuchung von Computern und anderen informationstechnischen Systeme erlauben sollte, eine deutliche Absage erteilt. Zugleich definierten die Richter ein neues Grundrecht, das den Bürger in seinem digitalen Leben weitgehend vor dem Zugriff des Staats schützt.” Danke, Rechtsstaat.
