Who Said It: Elon Musk or Mr. Burns?

Daylight Saving Time is increasingly hard to notice when my digital are devices are like, "What? Nothing happened. We know what time it is." And my stove is left blinking and screaming, "IT HAPPENED! TIME SHIFTED UNNATURALLY! THEY'RE ALL LYING! ONLY I KNOW! ONLY I REMEMBER!"

TFW, after "finishing" the hard part of the proof, you go to fill in the proof for the obviously-correct-but-annoying-to-prove critical lemma you left for later...and it turns out to be false. Time to fix my definitions!

While this seems like a solid plan, if we use Indiana instead, it also addresses safety concerns of nearby states (c.f. xitter.cf/TerribleMaps/status/14…).

I've now been to two in-person conferences this summer. Both times it was lovely to see and talk to people. Both times many people got COVID. We should have hybrid conferences so people can participate without COVID risk, but we also need to make the in-person portion safer.

Everyone should get N95/KN95 masks and COVID rapid tests at check-in. Masks should be required at all times (except possibly while presenting). We should serve food exclusively outdoors (including coffee breaks!). Neither conference did any of these. What else can we do?

I honestly feel like the two most important things I can teach students as a professor are that: 1. they deserve to be treated with respect by people in positions of power, and 2. when they are in positions of power, they should treat those they have power over with respect. – at Israel

My computer used time.windows.com to sync its clock (until a minute ago), which has apparently been down for a month. The system clock drifted 2 full minutes and didn't tell me. Wat.

This paper proposes a proof-of-concept study investigating the possibility of using a cat as a development partner for novice programmers. It is based on the observation that some programmers who are new to the field seem to find cats helpful in the development process. Specifically, we explore whether cats can help novice programmers with three tasks: (1) coming up with variable names, (2) providing feedback on code quality, and (3) acting as a sounding board for ideas. We find that while cats can be helpful in certain situations, they are also harmful in others. For example, they often refuse to cooperate when asked to provide feedback on code quality. In addition, they are often distractible and contradictory, making it difficult for novice programmers to rely on them for help in the development process.
