I'm a long time techie based in Raleigh, North Carolina (USA) who has been programming professionally (e.g. getting paid for it) since I was in my teens. I'm an IBM Fellow and Vice President, and the CTO for the IBM CIO Office. I'm a book author (10 so far, working on the 11th) of books on Cloud, Patterns, Object Oriented Programming and various and sundry of IBM's software products. I've written papers and articles for a variety of venues (commercial and academic) over the last 30 years.
@rossgrady doesn’t it make you wonder exactly what mailing list this was sent to? Like, a flag was set for “All Aetna plans” instead of one Aetna plan.
@cstross there are many adjectives that apply to the Black Pharoah but likable? I may need to sit down and ponder that one…
Nowhere GirlIn a very real sense, the USA is being run by the deranged inhabitants of a toxic Internet forum.
On This Day In HistoryToday in 1946, 79 years ago: Nazi leaders are sentenced at the Nuremberg trials.
Peter GleickThe entire Trump Administration is like a circus where the animals are abused, the acrobats can't figure out how the high-wire and trapeze work, and the clowns are not at all funny. But we're not allowed to leave the tent. Oh, and they're angry we're not clapping.

Butler blew the whistle on them, remembering his oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution.
May the Generals remember their oath next week.

@carnage4life my conclusion from yhid is that the kids are alright. Capitalism however…
Dare ObasanjoSuzy Welch conducted a survey among Gen Z to see how many of them possess the top values hiring managers say they want most: Achievement, learning, and the love of work for work’s sake. The answer? 2%.
Most Gen Z had self-care as a top value, followed by authentic self-expression, and then altruism. Achievement was at #11, learning at #10, and workcentrism at #9.
Jason GormanThe session facilitator from Imperial College said that the students probably had far more knowledge and experience of these tools than most of the faculty.
But this has been a long-time problem with SE academia. By the time the research has been published, practitioners have already been there, done that, and written 5 books about it.
Also, if you're looking for ideas for PhD projects, talk to a practitioner. I often find myself asking "How come nobody's done any serious research on this?"
