한숨 자고 일어나서 다시 일하려고 했는데 넘 피곤타
As a leader for R&D/innovation teams, I learned quite a while ago that EVERY structure I had in mind was going to be bespoke. Many "roll for persuasion" moments to get these magical things to work :)
I didn't go into this on the podcast, but I also had to advocate for the right to have a software engineer report to me, which subverted organizational assumptions that OTHER people could report TO engineers, but engineers would only ever report to engineering leaders. Which was a fascinating dynamic that I have heard from many clients is similar in their orgs. But to have truly cross-disciplinary work we wanted that role in the lab, and made it happen. Fascinating collaboration resulted.
Posting this one a few times because this conversation really meant a lot to me.
Along with all the good nerdy stuff about measurement in engineering orgs, it was a chance to share some very authentic thoughts around building for trustworthy diversity-informed social science in tech at a time when all "DEI" is under attack, and I'm so grateful that Autumn brought that nuance to the surface. I pull the curtain back a bit on how the DSL was able to do what we did.
I also share about the importance of things like building accurate career ladders that are SKILL based, not just based on stereotypes about roles; this mundane but important detail is critical if we want to have computational social scientists succeed in tech, because our skills are frequently split between two career ladders with large financial consequences. You get penalized for working on human stuff when it drags people away from recognizing your computational skills.

The agency is now looking at two proposals that could massively affect the night sky. One is mirrors in space that would reflect sunlight on demand during the night. The other, from Elon Musk’s SpaceX, is an unprecedented request for a 1-million-satellite megaconstellation." (by

Firefox is experimenting with native WebAssembly Component support in the browser and giving it access to the DOM! It removes pretty much all of the overhead Wasm on the web has today compared to JS. Making it possible for web apps written entirely in Rust to start outperforming JS.

@shervin we’re just a $5/mo pledge away from covering 50% of our Gaza Verified volunteer

Would you consider being a patron so they can be assured of their rent and not live in precarity? If so, please reply to this thread with your pledge.
Once we’ve hit our goal, I’ll be in touch so we can coordinate :)
And thank you again 💕

BuildKit: Docker's Hidden Gem That Can Build Almost Anything

So, my house was built well before houses were wired for ethernet, and in two parts, one of which doesn't have any good way to pull wires.
For years I used various wireless solutions to bridge, moving to MoCA 2.5 later on, but there were aspects of both that caused problems with some applications.
I recently replaced that with an Invisilight fiber kit, which worked *great*. Easy, invisible, effective. Good stuff.

Anyone know of any job openings for someone like me?
Not a tech girlie, but have a masters in public policy and social research, two decades of experience in the nonprofit world with community and youth development, and I speak Japanese and Moroccan Arabic in addition to English. I am open to almost anything, at this point.

As some of you may know, I’m an avid enjoyer of Nick Cave’s music, books, films, and film music. So it should not come as a big surprise that I follow his Red Hand Files too.
This week, his entry touched me more deeply than usual and I decided to make a collage out of it, so I could hang it on the wall in my study.

@actinomy Some updates on my XPUB Special issue that explores Gossips. Some of you may have heard about it already but we've been visiting a datacenter, with wonderful duo of guest 
@l03s (active in the north holland datacenter fight) and Anti from 
@lenuageetaitsousnospiedsLe Nuage était sous nos pieds (active in marseille datacenter fight). The session was title Gossiping in and around a datacenter, in this case the Van Nelles one in Rotterdam.
Even with the kind tour guide arguing for european digital sovereignty quoting "so we don't depend on trump administration" we quickly answered him that there catchline is "a gateway to the world" and that we can see the logo of amazon web service, microsoft azure and google cloud on their website... showing clearly how even "smaller and more local" datacenter only make sense as part of a bigger extractive and destructive system. We got a looot of other gossips to tell you all including diesel energy consumption, unesco protected architecture, hot corridor of server rack that you open with your fingerprint, corporations that seemingly own each others in a cycle to remove tracability, a feminist sculpture and a prison, but a zine may be in the making. As it was forbidden to take pictures, we've been drawing and mapping a bunch of things!

@xpub @kazcKaa @actinomy @l03s @lenuageetaitsousnospiedsLe Nuage était sous nos pieds On a new episode of Xpub Gossips, this time with my lovely friend and perma-low-tech pop star 
@marieverdeil, for a session title Comp(h)osting (with) our phones. We had a lot of wonderful discussions about perma-low-tech (after watching the funky and radical video they made with 
@dashadasha ilina "the mission is degrowth"), from idea of scales, the danger of romanticising low-tech aesthetics, social practices of collectivising as a radical alternative (compared to constantly developing new optimisations as a form of "leftist techno-solutionism"), and many other rad ideas.
We then went full termux mode with phones brought by the students! Marie joked about how "retired phones" could be the new raspberry pi, they are optimised for transport and battery, and we have an inherent intimate familiarity with them, i add that they understand other protocols like SMS (making them extra gossipy in many way because of the cross-protocol possibility)
There are much more links and images to explore (including the video by Marie and Dasha and her crazy nice guide on comp(h)osting) there: https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/Comp(h)osting_(with)_our_phones

When you add time-based asynchrony to a Swift feature, good luck testing it! You’re often led to literal Task.sleeps in your suite, making it slow and flakey all at once.
But did you know it’s possible to make Task.sleep completely synchronous, without a single thread hop?
See how a “nonisolated(nonsending)” clock can make asynchronous work like Task.sleep completely synchronous: https://www.pointfree.co/episodes/ep355-beyond-basics-isolation-copyable-escapable
