Aussies have it right, you can make any occupation gender neutral by shortening it and adding y or o at the end and it's much better than adding person instead of man

In the latest in a series of articles about Debusine, our developers and sysadmins do a deep dive on how they managed to investigate and fix #Debusine workflow performance issues caused by complex interactions between a series of database concurrency and worker communication issues.

It involved delicate work to avoid system deadlocks, optimizing our workflow orchestration, scheduling fixes, worker refactoring and reducing the high database write volume.

So a recurring observation I’ve encountered from educators of various stripes is that their students are resisting doing the work to a greater degree than earlier students because they are extremely uncomfortable with looking foolish, bad or incompetent

Tawny Platis noted this in a recent video on voice acting students, for example

The problem is that feeling like an idiot as you make crap is an integral part of all creative processes

Aaron Swartz joined the RSS working group when he was 13. At 15 he became a foundational member of Creative Commons. He was working on precursors to markdown at 16.

We should not be locking young people out of our communities and keeping them away from digital tools that can open doors for them, expand their knowledge, sharpen their skills, and help them grow into well-rounded adults.

Hey, you, reader:

Ever been browsing someone's blog, website, repo -- even their social web profile -- and thought to yourself "Wow, that's really neat. I love what they did here!"

Consider telling them! Someone on here made a post a while back encouraging people to do just that, and I've tried to make a conscious habit of contacting the authors of neat little indie and smolweb sites.

Email, guestbook, comment; whatever it might be, consider reaching out somehow to share your appreciation. You might be surprised at how much it makes their day.

You might also be surprised to discover how much making their day makes yours, too.

Chris proposed a 'banded' tier system for rating films, before chatting about Esoteric Ebb and how ours games played out.

My personal conclusion can however not end up with anything else than that the big hype around this model so far was primarily marketing. I see no evidence that this setup finds issues to any particular higher or more advanced degree than the other tools have done before Mythos. Maybe this model is a little bit better, but even if it is, it is not better to a degree that seems to make a significant dent in code analyzing.

This is a tool to COMMUNICATE impact of pain. It's not just expressive, the goal is not just to assign a number, it is to communicate the impact of pain or discomfort to a clinician or caregiver so they can know it needs treatment, and to understand if treatment is working.

Accuracy helps that, but remember the point is not to have the NUMBER, but to COMMUNICATE.

After 2+ years at Apple, this is my last week. It's time for my family and I to move back home to Toronto, and sadly the job is here. Planning on enjoying the summer but I will be looking for work - if you need a C++ dev with experience in graphics, let me know! Open to remote or Toronto local gigs.

I made a python script that fetches the ISS coordinates (every 60 seconds for now) and if the coordinates match +- 5 degrees with my coordinates, then it prints "ISS is above."

The print part didn't function due to a bug I'm trying to solve. Everything else ran as expected. I went to the window and there it was. The ISS passing above in the sky.
