Understanding the Career Mobility of Blind and Low Vision Software Professionals
Context: Scholars in the software engineering (SE) research community have investigated career advancement in the software industry. Research topics have included how individual and external factors can impact career mobility of software professionals, and how gender affects career advancement. However, the community has yet to look at career mobility from the lens of accessibility. Specifically, there is a pressing need to illuminate the factors that hinder the career mobility of blind and low…

Quantifying Lifetime Productivity Changes: A Longitudinal Study of 325,000 Late-Career Scientists

https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.16835 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.16835
arXiv:2404.16835v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This study focuses on persistence in research productivity over the course of an individual's entire scientific careers. We track 'late-career' scientists (N=324,463) in 16 STEMM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine) from 38 OECD countries for up to five decades. We examine the details of their mobility patterns between the top, middle, and bottom productivity classes. Methodologically, we turn a large-scale publication and citation bibliometric dataset into a comprehensive, longitudinal data source for research on careers in science. The global science system emerges as highly immobile: 60% of global top performers continue their careers as top performers and half of global bottom performers as bottom performers. Jumpers-Up and Droppers-Down are extremely rare in science. Our regression analyses show that productivity is highly path dependent: for all disciplines examined, there is a single most important predictor of being a top performer: being a top performer at an earlier career stage.

Report: Former Cowboys WR Michael Gallup signing one-year deal with Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders are signing former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Gallup to a one-year deal, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The deal is worth up to $3 million. Gallup, 28, spent the first six seasons of his career with the Cowboys after being selected in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Colorado State. In 86 games (67 starts), he hauled in 266 receptions for 3,744 yards and 21 touchdowns. Gallup tallied a career high 66 catches for 1,107 yards and six scores in 2019. He suffered …

I was talking to this guy about his job once and he said things were going great, and he had just got a raise. He told me his secret… He read the documentation. There was a huge manual at work that covered what needed to be done (rules, regulations, and such) and he said he was the only one who actually read it.
I remember this even 20 some years later, because I’ve spent the last 30 years of my career writing documentation that I’m always convinced no one reads except me.

So to let me explain, this is a Very Normal Typesetting task for a book. Make two column text, with an embedded figure. Keep the baseline rhythm uniform. That means the two columns next to each other will always have the same baselines.
Make the figure full column width.
Until this became available, I could not find a way to do this. It's a subtle reason that multicolumn layouts for text on the web never really took off. (horizontal scrolling and snapping is perhaps another reason, but the fact that it looked like crap is part of it.)
I've been hand-solving variations using context-specific hacks for my whole career: text under e-commerce product cards. Images on a product page with a caption with text next to them that don't have funky gaps where the text goes underneath. Images with captions inset in text, too. Marketing pages with two bits of copy next to each other.
Lack of little nuances like this is why the whole web lands on "well I guess we'll set it in 16 pixel Helvetica with one line margins between paragraphs”. It stifles making anything but Browser Default Text or variations on it look good.
Remember how fresh Medium looked when it came out? Even its relatively small shake-up of the dominant formula felt good. Of course now, big easy to read serifed type in a single column is the brand of "this is a newsletter”

I just hit my 10-year anniversary of working at Google.
Overall, working at Google has let me do some pretty amazing things, and also meant I'm a part of some things I feel pretty shitty about. It has let me work every day around tons of amazing people and also be loosely associated with some pretty terrible people. It has led to some of my most significant career achievements and had long periods of dealing with utter corporate bullshit during which I achieve nothing. [1/2]

I have found myself unsatisfied with my career lately. Financially, its great, but I don't have the same spark I once did.
I'd love to pursue more creative endeavors, but people rely on me and makes the risk, uncomfortable?
