The Conservative Overhaul of the University of Texas Is Underway

The school has been brought to heel by conservative critics of higher education. It is part of a broader transformation at the state’s universities.

I have been reciting Algorhyme to my network gear to remind it there there is no graph lovelier than a (spanning) tree.

I have now had to disable WiFi AP meshing capabilities, which I wanted as a fall back, but things can get loopy when some switch decides that CAT5 isn't good enough for it.

(And yes, I have set STP priorities on all the switches.)

@SteveBellovin, I also had the pleasure of explaining many of the jokes and allusions to a younger generation.

For example, you mentioned the Bank of San Seriffe. This led not only to me explaining that number of digits of decimal expansion of 𝜋 I know depends of the number of bugs found in TeX, but on the dangers of using knowledge of a record locator, such as a bank account numbers, as an authentication proof.

@SteveBellovin, do you have any objection to me blogging on a site named rethinking-security.org ? If you do object, I will find another name. And I will make it clear that I am not you, but that the name is an allusion to Thinking Security.

I want to talk about cases where conventional wisdom (in various circles) may need some rethinking.

My wife walks fast, but not faster than light. So scheduling one of her classes with an end time 17:20 and the next to begin at 17:00 in a different building is not going to work.

This, of course, is still better than that time long ago when she and her students showed up to find that her class had been assigned to the bathroom.

I’m guessing that this #halloween in #Chicago it would be too scary to answer the door dressed as an #ICE thug.

(Also, I’m always too lazy to actually put together a costume anyway)

So my spouse and I were watching last week’s episode of Slow Horses. This gave me the opportunity to use and explain the expression “jumped the shark.”

It’s #ColumbusDay in #Chicago. Will #ICE target events featuring those who arrived in the US WithOut Papers and their descendants?

Will those decedents remember what their grandparents were called and how they were treated?

Will I stop framing things in terms of rhetorical questions?

“The judge notes that noncitizens detained after 9/11 weren't held nearly as long without notice for the legal basis.”

@marcusolsson, I’ve been trying to get the code #GoHugo shortcode template you describe in

https://marcusolsson.dev/how-to-include-code-examples-from-file-with-hugo/

Is there a complete copy of `code.html` available?

Thank you for one of the clearest descriptions of a useful shortcode. I’m trying to avoid having to learn the Go templating language properly, but I seem to find myself getting forced into it.
