Any topic!

Our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's [when their gender is hidden]. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless.

So much wholesome advice!

The evolution of software development over the past decade has been very frustrating. Little of it seems to makes sense, even to those of us who are right in the middle of it. My theory is fairly straightforward:

The long-term popularity of any given tool for software development is proportional to how much labour arbitrage it enables.

The more effective it is at enabling labour arbitrage, the more funding and adoption it gets from management.

The Basque Country’s Mondragón Corporation is the globe’s largest industrial co-operative, with workers paying for the right to share in its profits – and its losses. In return for giving more to their employer, they expect more back.

Am I worried for my families’ safety living in the Global South during this expected record-breaking hot season in 2024? You bet I am.

My interest here is not to delve into the controversies, but instead read the Act while wearing my Mastodon admin hat. I am one of the two admins of AoIR.social, a Mastodon instance for members of the Association of Internet Researchers. AoIR.social gives our members access to the fediverse – the global network of thousands of social media servers, with millions of users engaged in social media activities.

Is there any interest in this idea?

Automatically have a little copyright icon added to all your posts with your choice of copyright license.

I've seen someone around here manually adding a copyright statement to most of their posts and thought I'd see if others would be into it. It'd be unobtrusive and incorporated into the UI, rather than a piece of text in the post.

Your thoughts?

Frying the bacon bits for 6 minutes before adding the sauce = yum.

Next time you make schnitzel, add lots of sesame seeds to the crumb mixture and use panko breadcrumbs which are chunkier and lighter than normal breadcrumbs. Katsu sauce is like am extremely mild curry gravy, with brown sugar in it. Very nice!

The salad is shredded cabbage with corn that has been fried for 4 minutes in a hot pan. Little bit smokey in that corn way.
