Alsup is an interesting judge. He has handled several important tech cases, such as Oracle v Google, and Waymo v Uber.

He's also a longtime hobbyist programmer working in BASIC, much of it in support of his ham radio hobby. Screenshots of his shortwave propagation prediction program here [1].

He learned Java to understand the Oracle v. Google case better.

His middle name is Haskell.

And his name, if you need glasses like me, looks like AI slop.

And his favorite food is curry.

He was one of the few judges that understood tech. Unfortunately he retired last year.
