mhoyeHere's a fun game: "who goes Nazi" with your linkedin feed.
"He has been fed vitamins and filled with energies that are beyond the capacity of his intellect to discipline. He has been treated to forms of education which have released him from inhibitions. His body is vigorous. His mind is childish. His soul has been almost completely neglected.
At any rate, let us look round the room."
Ethan Marcotte“These cuts are just the most recent in a series of a sledgehammer approach to the critical US teams supporting IT infrastructure. […] We’re wrestling with what it will mean for ourselves and our families, as well as the impact on our partners and the American people.
“But we came to the government to fix things. And we’re not done with this work yet.”
18F: We are dedicated to the American public and we're not done yet
For over 11 years, 18F has been proudly serving the American people to make government technology work better. We are non-partisan civil servants. 18F has worked on hundreds of projects, all designed to make government technology not just efficient but effective, and to save money for American taxpayers.
periplum@streetartutopia For those who do not know: "All You Fascists Bound To Lose" is a title of a beautiful song by Woody Guthrie. It is very relevant today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwcKwGS7OSQ
Woody Guthrie~ All You Fascists Bound To Lose
A short song from one of Woody's radio broadcasts. (1940's?)Featured in this performance are:*Woody of course-guitar and voc.*the great SONNY TERRY on harmon...
@vmbrasseur this article completely omits what the argument is actually about — whether the “no further restrictions” language applies to someone initially releasing a codebase they have full ownership of under the GPL (where they could have picked any license or written their own), or whether it just applies to downstream licensees who are using the GPL’d code of others (which is where it would matter most). Much harder question at least.
Kit BashirI signed up for a black-market time-travel tour as soon as I heard about them. (The first rule of Time Club etc.)
There’s an hour long pre-mission briefing on how you must be extremely careful in what you say or do as the smallest event could have future-changing consequences.
After that, they give you back your money, admit that there is no time machine, and tell you “now go and do the smallest thing you can to make the future better”.
I’m not even mad.
Saw two Broadway musicals in previews this week:
DEATH BECOMES HER: A. This was a movie meant to become a campy over-the-top musical. Everyone involved is having an incredible amount of fun. (And not just because we saw it on Halloween.) It’s not great art, but it’s great.
MAYBE HAPPY ENDING: C-. The set was really cool! The music was pretty and tuneful. But oh, everything else. The book was not good. And the lyrics were straight-up horrible. Could not be saved by Darren Criss and Helen Shen.
People in NYC: WALDEN (at 2nd Stage) runs through Thanksgiving and you should see it.
It’s a beautifully-written and -acted play about a relationship between two sisters, that’s also a lo-fi sci-fi play about terraforming in response to a near-future climate crisis, that’s also an exploration of different kinds of need for human connection and achievement. A+.
Of interest to the many @marklemley coauthors:
As of fairly recently, Mark Lemley has an Erdős Number of 4: https://mathscinet.ams.org/mathscinet/freetools/collab-dist?source=1613687&target=189017 .(What's an Erdős Number? Look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s_number )
That means I and all of Mark Lemley's other coauthors have an Erdős Number of, at most, 5. That is lower than the average Erdos number among Nobel laureates.
You may use this fact to impress random graduate students in mathematics whom you run across.
