faculty_hiring_us: Faculty hiring networks in the US (2022)
Networks of faculty hiring for all PhD-granting US universities over the decade 2011–2020. Each node is a PhD-granting institution, and a directed edge (i,j) indicates that a person received their PhD from node i and was tenure-track faculty at node j during time of collection (2011-2020). This dataset is divided into separate networks for all 107 fields, as well as aggregate networks for 8 domains, and an overall network for …

VBR: Version Based Reclamation
Safe lock-free memory reclamation is a difficult problem. Existing solutions follow three basic methods (or their combinations): epoch based reclamation, hazard pointers, and optimistic reclamation. Epoch-based methods are fast, but do not guarantee lock-freedom. Hazard pointer solutions are lock-free but typically do not provide high performance. Optimistic methods are lock-free and fast, but previous optimistic methods did not go all the way. While reads were executed optimistically, writes w…

Major strides for vehicle-to-grid: the key amendment to the ISO 15118-20 standard, which standardises AC bidirectional charging with a clear separation of functions between the charging point and the vehicle’s inverter, is now an officially published standard. This means there are significant additions to the version published in 2022, which – as things currently stand – must be technically supported (though not necessarily to the full extent of its functionality) by all new private and p…

At least 80% of the world lives under light-polluted skies
—a figure that rises to 99% in America and Europe.
A paper published in Science found that between 2011 and 2022 the night sky grew almost 10% brighter each year.
With so many places awash with artificial light, people are increasingly seeking out the darkness.

In 2022 I installed my archive copy of 1Password 4.1 on a new machine. It would not honor my 2016 license key (1Password killed its license server killed when it went SaaS).
1Password support tried very hard to move me to the SaaS model (3 free years!), but I repeatedly declined.
I eventually got 1Password support to give me an _older_ version that didn’t talk to a license server.
And I feel much better about standing firm now that 1Password has gone full fash.

The knowledge graph is stored in a sqlite database, nothing is updated or deleted, and all entitles and links are all time scoped, so you can ask questions like what gearbox was in my lemons racecar in 2022. It's also designed to be fully cached so it will work when there's no network connection, and sync later. I’m going to build a mobile front end when iOS27 ships. It's very easy to use, take photos with your phone and talk into it and the transcriptions and images are processed into updates.

In California, survivors of solitary confinement
who have spent years trying to seriously limit the practice are facing yet another setback
as state prison officials unwind the minor reforms made in recent years. 
Those reforms, which had reduced the number of rule violations that could make someone eligible for isolation and increased out-of-cell time for people in solitary,
were part of a compromise Governor Gavin Newsom proposed after his 2022 veto of the Mandela A…
