It is, indeed, a trial to maintain the virtue of humility when one can’t help being right.
Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
“Miss Manners,” syndicated column (1999-02-02)

I found https://rfd.shared.oxide.computer/rfd/400 today and really liked it! The examples of #async cancel safety are probably the most clear examples I've seen so far 😄
Thanks @rain for putting this together! #rust #correctness
Nice – more code-samples would’ve made it better:

#RemiPommarel found and fixed a bug/regression in a recent change someone had added to @batadv in the #Linux #kernel. One take home message from Remi:
"On a side note, I am all about #hardening and #MemorySafety stuff but if that means impacting readability and spending more time trying to please the tool than thinking about the #correctness of the code change, that's where we end up converting a perfectly fine #code into a logically flawed one."

If you work with #LLVM IR and require type information a friend has just published the initial release of the library llvm-dimeta. it uses LLVM debug information to restore type information for your program's allocations.

My #computing is far too important for me to be pacified by mere #MemorySafety. I demand actual #correctness.

I will be talking about it at the #Correctness workshop.

A while a go I started working on a modal semantics for defining errors in distributed computing via types. The results have now appeared in a chapter for a volume dedicated to one my PhD mentors and teacher Göran Sundholm. The actual formalism is a bit far away from the tons of things I learned from him, but it touches on the issues of correctness and errors in proofs part of his philosophical research.

This is all similar to #political #correctness undermining and blocking any kind of social statements. #Olympia is political, it always has been.
