To my #CS #professor friends on MathsTodon.xyz: what #programming languages are you teaching as the "proper first language" to your freshmen, and what are the delights and dismays thereof?
Some 30y ago, I taught C and ML to the CS undergrads—my two favourite classic languages. But, boy, they were a handful to teach to novices. But then, you lot might well have an easier task now, given that a typical CS freshman today knows several languages already (at least #Python and/or #JavaScript
), by the time they enter the uni.

@noellemitchell@mstdn.socialThis story is really worrying and concerning.

“#Professor #PatMcGorry, #psychiatrist and executive director of youth mental health organisation #Orygen, said iatrogenic harm was a direct result of *chronic neglect* of the #MentalHealth system that was now “absolutely terminal”.
Let us see what the political muppets from both (all) sides have to say about health & mental health funding and initiatives.

The Sydney Morning Herald@dufthummel Wer ist die NHS und wie kann sie an eine Reicher-Steuer glauben?
Welche Partei oder Regierung würde die einführen?
Bei uns konnte Kohl mit der FDP in der "geistig-moralischen Wende! ab 1981 den Reichen die Steuern senken, die ihm und Nachfolgern seitdem mit Spenden dankten ...
Seitdem und mit der tricky Idee der #Privatisierung wie bei der Bahn und Post, Telekom und #Crossborderleasing ist die Bereicherung aus dem Staatsbesitz zur Selbstbedienung der herrschenden #Parteien geworden ...
und alle simplen Gemüter, denen es dabei gut ging, wählten sie wieder, auch #Lehrer*innen und #Professor*innen, obwohl sie den Niedergang der Schulen und Hochschulen erlebten, die #Polizist*innen, weil sie neue Waffen bekamen ...

Es molt "complicat" crear una instancia de mastodon (o altra), per exemple amb un docker, i que l'alumnat es dedique a administrar-la i conèixer com funciona a un aula, no en pla técnic, en un entorn totalment aïllat i controlat?...
Donat que van a aprendre temes del fedivers, potser és interessant.

“My PhD was all about understanding what happens to blood flow in collapsible blood vessels like the giraffe jugular vein. In my postdoc I was investigating how to optimise ventilator settings for patients in ICU and then how to deliver inhaled therapies into the lungs. Since then, my focus has been in trying to understand how diseases like Asthma and other respiratory diseases originate and then progress. This involves incorporating biology and physics into mathematical and computational models, using approaches from different areas of applied maths. More recently I have started to look into the mechanisms that could lead to a rare lung disease called lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) and Long Covid.” - Bindi Brook

IDK if this helps a lot, but when the news says "X University" did something, it usually means the president did. Almost all US #universities are #authoritarian hierarchies where exactly one person has ultimate power* over hiring/firing budgets, salaries, and policy, and that person was appointed by bodies higher up the hierarchy, not elected or meaningfully chosen by faculty, staff, or students. The president often delegates things to the provost(s), deans, directors, or VPs, but still ultimately has all responsibility for, and power over, their decisions.
The faculty tend to be a diverse bunch, but many are much more committed to basic values than the president. We just don't have any power, and we all too frequently fail to use our voice.
There are some exceptions/nuances to this, like #faculty usually go through a long and complicated hiring process, though the president must approve their choices; and #tenure provides some job protection at some universities, though a determined president can usually find ways to get around this.

Since I learned about it in the late 90s I've been kind of in love with #Antioch College. However, like several of the people I loved in high school, I still don't know much about it. I've been reminded of it now, and am greedily devouring the wikipedia page. I was under a few misconceptions, including the idea that it was dead. It's not dead! I think!?
I'm very interested in learning what it's like to be a #student or #professor there. I am fascinated by #AlternativeCollege situations in #highered.
If, by any chance, anyone who sees this is or was any of the following:
A prof
A student
An administratorI'd love to exchange some messages.
And if you know of any #documentary or #longform #journalism about Antioch (I'm searching...), especially in the past 20 years, please let me know. I'm super interested.
