Ok, introduction time. (I'm part of the Twitter exodus and I hear #s are really important here.)

I'm an assistant #professor of #sociology at the University of British Columbia. I'm super interested in the intersection of #computational methods and #qualitative inquiry, #gender, social movements, #institutions.

Also #classical music. Any #orchestra nerds on here?

Teensy 3.5 is back in stock.

The Kinetis chips used on Teensy 3.2, 3.5, 3.6 are among the parts worst impacted by the global chip shortage. If you're needing Teensy 3.5 for a project or product, get them while you can.

I've just contributed to @Tusky. Consider supporting them too — every little helps! https://opencollective.com/tusky via @opencollective

ELI5 this is where China is now. The new rules are "optimizing" by:
Doing less of the stuff that didn't work
Doing less of the stuff that does work
Not doing any new stuff known to work (addressing aerosols)
Being "determined", "resolute", and "unswerving" in our commitment.

#introduction

My name is Evan Prodromou. I'm an Open Source software enthusiast, best known for my work in wikis and in social software.

I work as Director of Open Technology at the Open Earth Foundation.

I live in Montreal, love to garden with native plants, make wine, cook, and live an examined life.

Excellent progress toward piet-gpu being ported to WGSL and potentially running in the browser on WebGPU. Current code is hackish but it's shaping up well.

#introduction

Hi! I'm Raph. I've been in free software and open source circles for a long time. I'm passionate about fonts, 2D graphics, and Rust. At the moment, I'm trying to grow a serious open source community around xilem, a reboot of the Druid UI stack. It feels like a major adventure.

I also have a longtime interest in community, having done Advogato a while ago, and am now very active in Berkeley Friends Meeting.

Good to see so many of my friends here!

#introduction

I'm on the Chrome team at Google, working on shader language standardization, compilers, and related tooling.

Languages: SPIR-V, OpenCL C, and am currently a spec editor for #WebGPU Shading Language (#WGSL).

Compilers: Shaderc, Clspv, DXC's SPIR-V backend (as mentor), most currently Tint (Google's WGSL compiler stack).

Tooling: SPIRV-Tools, Amber

Previously I worked on OpenCL for FPGAs when at Altera (later bought by Intel), and original SPIR standard.

@lupyuen Anytime I see these pharmacy signs in the French country site, I think some C64 demo coder retired there and has some side gigs.

Pharmageddon: a demo for a pharmacy LED sign.

I think these signs will get a lot more interesting now.
