This should have occurred to me before to ask here but it still feels weird for Reasons.
Do I know someone who would accept money to mentor me writing some research papers? I am very much *not* asking for someone to write them. I just have no great sense of what would be appropriate for some Graduate program applications.
Does anyone have an app they like for practicing Devanagari?
I just restarted Hindi and Duolingo is somehow just an utter pain in the butt. I can deal with the context-free drill-and-kill initial lessons, but inconsistent romanization of the trickiest-to-hear letters is driving me up a wall (like ट is “Ta” in one place and “ṭa” in another and I cannot cope)
"So I made a GitHub...."
"You have to update The Repo on The GitHub."
"I didn't just do the GitHub once, I did it TWICE"

Jimmy Carter turns 100 today. He is proof that decency and goodness can exist in public service.
Did you know that Jimmy Carter heroically saved Canada from a nuclear meltdown when he was a naval officer?
It's true!
The world’s first nuclear reactor meltdown occurred in the Ottawa Valley — and a young U.S. naval officer was brought in to contain the disaster — 72 years ago.
Leading a team of two dozen men, 28-year old Lieutenant Carter had himself lowered into the damaged reactor.
I just got off a conf-talk-planning call with some leaders in a tech stack I’m pretty unfamiliar with and — are there just vibrant, thriving micro communities all around?!
I’m always scared to step outside “my people” but every time I do, I’m in awe of the scope and depth of craftsmanship of an entirely new discipline
