This is a great example of how our minds are terrible at assessing risk because here it’s the same in both cases (until you get to the last platform).

Amanda, Julie & Juniper dives deep into the “10 simple things” format of their article, the crucial importance of collective conversations, and a keen exploration of open-source researchers.
The GNU folks: Hehehe, we called it GIMP. And the main branch is called master. Because GIMP, get it?! We couldn’t possibly change it because *fart noises*
Also GNU folks: Why does everyone think we’re three misogynistic 12-year-old boys in a neckbeard suit?
There are so many low hanging fruits for you folks to embrace inclusivity and make a dedicated effort to clean up your act but you seem too bloody busy pissing all over the tree to mark your territory.

Dungeons and Dragons is a role-playing game that lets you live out such fantasies as:
• Having money
• Making close friends as an adult
• Travelling the world without crippling debt
• Being able to change the world
• Getting better at something with practice
• Getting 8 hours of sleep each night
my biggest criticism about the original Star Wars is that they called it a "Death Star". any evil imperialist organization worth its salt would hire a consulting firm to come up with something like "Liberation Sphere"
It’s funny how the RTO crowd all think getting into the office makes you more productive. Meanwhile I’m sitting at home waiting all day for a response from people because they’re in the office socialising instead of working…
I think the real reason our culture stigmatizes children who ask "why" a lot is that most adults are deeply ashamed of how infrequently they actually have good answers.
We do the writing. We do the editing. We do the reviewing. We do the formatting (we typeset everything in LaTeX). We do the proofreading. We correct the mistakes introduced by proofreaders.
What do publishers do? They make us sign silly copyright forms, stamp their logo on our papers, and then proceed to charge *us* (either as authors or readers) ridiculous amounts.
People think academics/scientists are clever. We might be. But we are also stupid. And vain.

I finally finished Loki s2. No spoilers but I wasn’t feeling the first few episodes and almost gave up. The end was pretty great though and I’m glad I hung in.

Little bit of work news. The charity I work for has just landed a significant amount of funding.

"You shouldn't project modern gender labels back onto historical figures" OK great! I will no longer be calling them "men" or "women". Those are modern, socially constructed categories of person, and using them uncritically encourages us to assume that past cultures shared our expectations for appropriate gender performance.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a fun much-needed refresh of the 2D Mario series, with new sprites and animations to replace ones from the aging New Super Mario Bros line. The visual refresh is excellent, …
Why are the turkeys being pardoned? Never understood that. The turkeys didn't commit a crime. You're deciding not to EAT the damn bird and acting like you're forgiving it for doing something wrong. That has to suggest something about power.

Event-driven systems may not be the go-to solution for everyone because of the challenges they can add. While the system reacting to events published in other parts of the system seem elegant, some of the complexities they bring can be challenging. However, they do offer durability, autonomy & flexibility. In this...
Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate the act of invading foreign regions and exterminating the local population: an extremely contemporary topic too, I reckon.
