Forgot to post this on Mastodon:
I am once again on the job market and looking for work!
I am an applied cryptography engineer with an academic background focused heavily on protocols. I'm good at Rust, Go, TypeScript and more!
What am I looking for? Quite simply, a healthy, positive work environment where we make real-world contributions to people via software.
I have good references, and do good work! Hire me! Reposts appreciated.

Apparently, my books are still on sale via Amazon! I'm still struggling with bills at the moment, so any purchases really do help.
I'll drop a link to the trailers for both books in THE OUTCROSSED SERIES in the replies.

you are the first person I've ever seen to put their redirects ahead of their command name. I didn't even know you could do that

A whio (blue duck) in Whanganui National Park on Friday. I literally fell into the river, then decided that while I was wet I might as well commit fully, waded to the other side chest deep in freezing water, got this shot and waded back. These are the lengths we go to!

If you take a social media sabbatical, don’t announce it. Just make your last post something fun like “I wonder if there’s a bear in this cave?”

We moved into our neighbourhood in 2009 and, for most of the time we’ve been here, we have been regularly greeted by Jasper, who keeps an eye on the end of our road from his vantage point just above it.
I noticed a little plaque today where there had not been one before, and now I know why I haven’t seen him for a little while. It’s technically #Caturday, but I hope this place won’t mind if today I observe #Saturdog, instead. He was a much-loved part of this place, and we all miss him.

I am in a mood tonight to remember a man I met only once and whose name I never learned.

Making a form so to make the logistics easier. ;)
OSTP has a request for public comment on the topic of automated worker surveillance and management. I believe that automated worker surveillance is a tool of exploitation and control. I want to write a public comment saying so, but I'm a little intimidated.
So! I'm hosting a (super informal) hangout **Monday, 8-9 ET** to work on my comment alongside others who want to submit comments.
To join us, send me your email: https://forms.gle/X2TDvb8MHxtQSwAW6

Blues, once a popular and influential musical genre, has become scarce in many Black communities, with seeming abandonment by young Black-Americans. At just 24 years years old, Kingfish (Christone Ingram), represents a resurgence of the blues due to his remarkable talent, life story, youthful energy, & dedication to the blues.
The Blues is in safe hands.

I wonder what it's like, subjectively, to have the FEF region stimulated above the threshold. Is it just like your eyes move to some random location of their own accord or does it feel like deciding to move them to a location and then moving them there?
off-topic: Travis CI
@hugovk lol'd on the Travis CI section. I guess they burned a lot of bridges when they dropped the .org?

Calling all #Python library maintainers! 
Python 3.12 is in beta! 
This means no new features are allowed in and it's now time to start testing your code. You might find things in your code to fix, or even better, you might find things to fix in Python itself!
Here's how to do it:

small update: swallows are still here, but I don't see them as much, partly due to my own schedule though.. I just saw three this morning flying back near the nest.

Eating sushi while sitting on the ground, 35km from the frontlines. I asked the cashier where they get the fish from. She said that the supplier just picks it up locally and she has no idea where they get it from
I think most of the difficulty I've had with learning #mathematics from books over the years has been notational polysemy (or abuse). Like, there have been (and continue to be) many times when I get hung up on an equation because I can't tell that it's a definition or a derivation or expansion that's just skipping intermediate steps, not to mention the times when an equation is actually a *temporary* initialization or assignment of value. Then, let's not even get started on all the nasty stuff folks get up to with matrices or eliding variables from an expression.
If I'm in a certain subfield, I can more often figure it out because I've seen the notation before, but it's still a pain.

is there any place that has tracked how much itch.io raised in total for charity? like for all the bundle efforts combined?
