one of the struggles I’ve been having with #RheumatoidArthritis is that the first line medication i’m on works really well for managing symptoms, but has *brutal* fatigue (& regular-bad nausea) for me as a side effect. it’s a weekly thing and i have to take it on weekends to avoid missing work. but then i lose my whole damn weekend, and i can really feel the stress accumulating from a lack of true rest

@dalias @pfriedma @0ddj0bb I don’t think what you’re saying conflicts with OP. the point is that no one’s hand is being forced here; this is google (etc) showing us who they really are

@dalias @0ddj0bb @pfriedma it *does* matter in the sense that we should not put up with“they made me do it” as an excuse

some opinions about academic conferences:
- i think talking to each other in person is good and important.
- the ideal of the "inclusive international conference" doesn't exist. one can only make intentional decisions about what kinds of inclusion to prioritize.
- it's a problem that junior folks are expected to attend big international conferences regularly in order to advance their careers, especially when their circumstances are by default *not* prioritized as inclusivity criteria -

noticed someone saying they're learning tech skills as a fallback for their art career. meanwhile i'm leaning harder into art skills in case this computer science thing turns out to be impossible without Complying

i continue to feel that we do academic conferences in a fundamentally broken way that doesn’t change because we’re in a local optimum wrt small perturbations (in terms of things like governance and budgets). but i think of things like fan conventions and burning man-genre festivals and industry events like strange loop… where there is so much more democratic participation in the process, and i wonder if we will ever break out of the golden handcuffs of “professional societies”

“I know, i’ll put my jacket, scarf, and gloves on the coat rack, rather than carrying things around to every talk and coffee break! this is a great idea with no downsides”
*forgets to get things from coat rack after conference*
“it’s fine, i’ll get it tomorrow morning”
*flooding emergency renders area with coat rack inaccessible*
*it’s the part of the venue that got the most water damage* -

now that @simrob has done #AoC twice with the logic programming language we built, Dusa, i would like to more confidently encourage people to tinker with it: https://dusa.rocks/docs
start there, with the docs page (which you can also access by clicking the "?" from the web editor, which is the default view from dusa.rocks/). there's an intro for if you're familiar with datalog, answer set programming, or neither. you can get quite far by playing around entirely within the browser-based editor

@monnier (this is a salient subject for me because I the issue with people listening to things on the train sans headphones has become really intolerable to me here… i feel that some kind of basic transit etiquette has failed to be passed down)

@monnier listening to music or an audiobook on the train is messages from the oligarchs?

people who work on types and formal methods have a long tradition of motivation through fear — “software can break catastrophically! our stuff will prevent the bad thing!”— and one of my life missions is to figure out how to motivate through love instead

if you're someone who's been struggling lately to get consistent work, make sense of your career, find a place in the world where your skills are simultaneously valued with money/recognition and also contributing something you find genuinely positive to society, i want you to know that i'm incredibly fucking proud of you. please don't give up.

@dalias copycatting? not as disdainful but short and widely understood, not sure if it carries the meaning you want
