The Centre for Free Expression has done far more legwork, contacting every Alberta school division, asking how many removed books, and sending access to info requests to every division that said they did remove materials. The results they have so far are in this national challenge database #AbEd

There's a wind warning where I am today:
"Local utility outages are possible. High-sided vehicles will be pushed around by the wind. Damage to roofs, fences, branches or soft shelters is possible."
Certain times of the year can be windy here, but not often like this.
I've been expecting to see this shift for a while and it is interesting to see it actually starting to happen.

I also got some of the basic setup for functions themselves.
I know my design has stabilized because the whole of this took half a day. It's all just small variations now.
Tomorrow I'll add in initial support for a mini compiler that turns lambda abstractions into meta-assembly.
Good stuff.

Today I added initial support for function types to my library.
I implemented lambda expression variables and abstractions. Using these I coded an expression representing the identity function acting on unsigned ints.

So @anthropic.com can potentially change the landscape by offering all OpenAI employees a job, if they are willing to jump ship. Seems like the right time to make this sort of move
In the moment *there and then* I might not always be the clearest communicator, but in my designs I do in fact put a lot of thought and effort into the words I choose.

Bind·er·y: A place where books are bound.
I'm adding both lambda and dependent expressions to my library. With lambda you can "apply" and thus have "applications." Dependent is analogous, so I chose the word "bind." I'm trying to maintain the narrative, so then *binderies* ?
Another fun thing I learned yesterday is that global vegetable oil prices and crude oil prices are themselves much more correlated than they used to be due to 21st century biofuel policies

Going for a walk.
I'm starting to add lambda expressions into my library. I already figured out their internal representation, but I haven't thought about it in months so I have to warm up that part of my brain again (letting the current part wind down).
It's warm but windy, so we'll see.
Finally, I can then add functions properly into my type system.
From there, I can build the parser generator, and use it to build parsers which will translate DSLs into meta-assembly using the lambda expressions as parser actions.
I'm getting close!
3/3
itself, and yet: I think I'll take a break from that part of the library.
Instead I'll add in proper lambda expressions (lambda calculus; theory based). I can then create a handful of simple expressions representing functions, and build a mini-compiler to translate those into my meta-assembly.
