#Brainfuck originated on the #Amiga as a challenge to create the smallest possible compiler for a Turing-complete language (the compiler executable was less than 256 bytes!)

I met Brainfuck's author Urban Müller At an Amiga show in Germany. He was also the chief sysadmin of Aminet.

Urban told me that one day he received an unusually long Brainfuck program from a user. So he tried to run it and... it was a Brainfuck compiler! 😂

I should mention that @walterbender is the teacher for that Music+Code class.

2nd grader says "I am the Maker" as he plays a video game he created with #musicblocks. 😀 Check out this video to see what our students are doing at MAP Family Learning Center. https://online.mapflc.com/2021/01/20/map-students-showcase-at-open-house/#fvp_33,4m46s

I showed my dad a Richard Stallman lecture and my dad said "I agree with what he's saying for the most part but is he always that awkward?" 😆

The US plans to:

- reenter the Paris climate accord

- halt border wall construction

- reverse the travel ban on predominantly Muslim countries

- re-engage with World Health Organization, will join global vaccine effort

What a difference a day makes.
