    I absolutely want a stronger Canadian tech scene, but I absolutely do _not_ want sycophantic emulation of the Silicon Valley model whose economic and moral hollowness is now visible to everyone with the courage to see it. Short-term thinking, monopolization enabled by regulatory capture, enriching the few at the expense of the many: it has failed everyone except a handful of VCs and tech bros who will never admit their success has mostly been a matter of luck and privilege. 1/2

    When I asked researchers if they have started planning what to do if the US gov't decides to restrict access to GitHub or other bits of US-hosted digital infra, I was hoping some people would say that they are forming federated multi-institution/multi-national collaborations because any single site in any single country is just another single point of failure. It's not "can my university spin up a self-hosted version of [thing]" but "let's figure out how to federate this stuff."

    @zipkid Thanks, but what I'm looking for is not a one-line "do X", but rather for fully thought out plans for what to do and in what order. For example, what about user accounts - do they have to have the same names on CodeBerg as on GitHub? What if someone outside your org has already claimed a username that someone on your team was using on GitHub? What changes are needed to contributors' guides? Etc.

    @ericjelli02 Thanks for the links - there are several options, but my question is "who has actually started making a plan and trying things out" ? If we wait until we need it, we're going to have a repeat of our near-miss with SourceForge (almost) going offline, and as recent events have shown, even a partial unplanned interruption of collaboration can take a long time to recover from.

    Q for research friends: have you started planning what to do if the US gov't suddenly restricts access to GitHub? Could happen in several ways, e.g., Microsoft has to filter DEI content to stay eligible for federal contracts or a "nothing Ukrainian" rule, but the mechanism doesn't matter: what does it that it's no longer impossible. Yes, you have a clone of your repo, but not of your issues, and how will you reconnect with contributors? If you have a plan, please share a link - thx.

    Be the @TeenVogue you want to see in the world: "To put it bluntly, Trump is now violently pursuing, rounding up, and disappearing immigrants, the majority not charged with any criminal offense, while right-wing loyalists convicted and sentenced for violent felonies against the country are released and celebrated." https://www.teenvogue.com/story/donald-trump-criminal-justice-agenda-public-safety

    Please help: we need housing for a female refugee who will be arriving in the Greater Toronto Area next Wednesday (Feb 26, 2025). Cost is an issue, so we expect it will be shared accommodation; helps if dog-friendly but we can work around that. If you have leads please reach out (gvwilson@third-bit.com). Would be very grateful if you could share the request in other forums. Thanks - Greg #gta #toronto

      NASA Intern Found Hope in the Moon
      from Mike O'Neill
      When Rose Ferreira first saw an image of a field of galaxies and galaxy clusters from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope in July, she “went into the restroom and broke down a little,” she said. This “Deep Field” image showed galaxies not only sharper, but deeper into the universe than a similar image

    25 years ago I had a colleague who had grown up in the PRC. He had a forest of newspaper clippings pinned on the wall of his cubicle with stories about school boards in the US banning the teaching of evolution, discussion of sexual health, and stuff like that. When I asked him about it, he pointed and said, "Every one of those is an engineering job moving to China." I've been thinking about that a lot over the past week…

    There are two other versions of the story. In one, Charlie Brown knows Lucy will pull the ball away but keeps trying to kick it because he has internalized everything have said about him and believes repeated disappointment is all he deserves. In the other, he's waiting for Lucy to grow bored and ask, "Why do you keep trying?" so he can say, "Because I love you, and am here to help you get past this." Schultz's point is that from the outside, it's hard to tell these stories apart.

    I believe it should be possible to distribute Python packages as Rust crates. If you have actually done this and can point me at an open source proof of concept, I would be very grateful for a link.

    On the one hand, I am genuinely excited by this book. On the other, it will cost over CAD$300 per copy for the digital edition and even more for print, which greatly reduces the number of people who will have a chance to be excited by it. Academic publishing makes me very sad.
