contact: Haggle human proximity network (2006)
A network of human proximities, as measured by carried wireless devices. Each node represents a person, and an edge denotes when two people were within a certain proximity of each other, as measured by a wireless protocol (Bluetooth or Wifi). The edges are timestamped.

To make it easier esp. for junior folks (students, postdocs, jr faculty) to talk to me, I'm trying a new thing: open office hours at conferences! Come find me at PLDI 2026, using the public calendar linked to the page below. Please feel free to reshare!

Shocked to find out that people you're speaking to expect eye contact. But if I do that, then how am I supposed to look out for predators, or edible berries?
Over the holidays last last year I was building an Airfix model (good way to ignore the outside world) and discovered two pieces had fallen off the sprues and were not in the box. I considered constructing them myself but I didn't have a good reference image to go by. 99% certain it wasn't my fault, I looked up how to contact Airfix, followed the instructions, and never heard back.
Until Friday, when two tiny pieces of plastic arrived in an adorable little pouch and the modelmaking can continue.
I love good customer service. I just love it.
Nasty shock to European gas price in response to Trump's war: 21% compared to last Friday!
Thanks to the hard work of @… and the rest of the PieFed community, and the infrastructure sponsored by https://prodigi.nz, there's now a community PieFed for Aotearoa -

Nurul Shah Alam,
the disabled refugee who died after Border Patrol left him outside in the cold with no way to contact friends or family.
It took five days for him to die.
He was blind and didn’t speak English.
They took the pole he was using as a cane.
This man survived an actual genocide only to be killed by the incompetence and cruelty of the Trump regime.
Five days of wandering around lost, sick and disoriented.
Anyone know someone at @… Magazine?
Comment forms have been broken (for me at least) since December. The Masto and Bluesky accounts are unmonitored. Vitaly is MIA on both. No response using the Smashing contact form after nearly a week.
Trying to tell someone there is oddly hard.

A Boothby-Wang construction in generalized contact geometry
Debjit Pal
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.22385 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.22385 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.22385
arXiv:2602.22385v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We establish a generalized analogue of the Boothby-Wang theorem in generalized contact geometry, along with related results. We present a general method for constructing examples of generalized contact structures that are not of Poon-Wade type, and even examples that fail to be generalized contact structures. Using Courant reduction methods, we construct a generalized complex structure on a smooth leaf space and equip the generalized contact manifold with a principal bundle structure whose connection is defined by the generalized contact data. Under mild assumptions, we show that the curvature induces a symplectic foliation on the leaf space. Several examples are provided.

I just had a thought. I have talked to techies who kept their old shop on their resume despite being laid off because "you can't have a gap on your resume." Instead of doing that, just put that you are working for "a stealth-mode startup".
Who are they? I can't tell you. They are in stealth-mode.
Can I get the HR contact to verify employment? I can't. They are in stealth-mode.
What are you doing for them? I can't tell you.

It wouldn't hurt to contact your representatives in Congress,
ask them to assert themselves as is their responsibility,
and bring a hasty end to this painful conflict.
Otherwise, the entire world is now sitting on a bus being driven recklessly by American leaders with uncertain and varying goals and dubious judgment.
Fasten your seatbelts.

Tips for surviving the Kerry Gaeltacht:
1. Keep your windows rolled up
2. Do not make eye contact
3. If possible, remain in motion at all times
4. If detained by locals, make sheep noises. This may confuse them enough that you will be able to escape.
Good luck.

"The most recent orbital computations make it increasingly likely that the object [the new #Kreutz comet MAPS] is a fragment of one of the comets observed by Ammianus Marcellinus in AD 363, thereby strengthening evidence in support of the contact-binary hypothesis of the Kreutz system," writes Zdenek Sekanina in https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.17626: "In this context, the comet is the only second-generation fragment of Aristotle's comet that we are aware of to appear after the 12th century. It does not look like a major fragment, but rather like an outlying fragment of a much larger sungrazer."
