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 …

Incredibly, with 30 hours to go, @… are less than €8500 from their stretch target of €75,000.
Part of the motivation of this drive was, as far as I can tell, to see if the #fediverse actually liked @… and their software, guess we know the answer to that one now then...
Bravo #Fedizens...
And Bravo #Framasoft for all your #FOSS work..

I've had a fairly unproductive day. Aound 2 hours sleep (finally) in the wee hours this morning Not really enough to equip me to face the day. Did a little work of my own. Did some minor tech support for a friend. She stayed most of the day and we ended up binge watching all 10 episodes of Murderbot, eating snacks, and drinking a couple of bottles of wine. I'm hoping that will be enough to enable me to sleep well tonight. Fingers crossed. Good night all. 🥱

A part of The Accountant 2's character roster (the tech-wiz kids) is interesting in the relation between ‘modern surveillance’ and established genres. Surveillance cameras in the way? Hack or shut them down. Need an edge for the good guys during the showdown? Take over a bunch of US Air Force drones to: pinpoint the bad guys‘ location in a deserted area; conceal the actions of the heroes dealing with them. You either subvert it or remove it from the equation to make the human plot possib…

She’s right, you know.
We don’t need a general solution for how we accommodate trans kids in sports. It can be handled on a case by case basis. It’s being hypothesized into absurd scale to trigger reaction. There’s no “catastrophe” possible. There are a few dozen specific cases and they are different enough that they should be handled independently.
The details in real cases always seem to argue in favor of the trans kid’s choice.

On the 10th of December 2024 at about 4pm in the afternoon I had a sudden shivering attack. The room wasn't cold, but I was, so I took to bed and shivered on the electric blanket until I napped for a few hours.
Woke up groggy, and never got better. Feeling light headed and occasionally dizzy and half stoned all the time. Can't handle booze or dope at all any more. Doing the job feels like trying to program drunk, concentration shot and short term memory failing.
Various doctors have ordered batteries of tests and put me on drugs to reduce my blood pressure but nothing that's really helped.
They did an MRI last week. Apparently everything looks normal which is good I guess, but still leaves symptoms unexplained.
There are worse fates than feeling half drunk all the time I suppose.
Given no visible brain damage, about the best suggestion anyone has is to stay off booze and drugs (which is easy, since I can't handle them any more) and get back to meditation. If it's damage so small the MRI can't pick it up it'll get better slowly probably. 🤷
Anyway, they gave me the MRI data upon request, so I spent most of yesterday importing it into Blender and making some visualization.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present: My apparently completely normal brain in an MRI selfie.

Walmart heiress Christy Walton is facing backlash, and Walmart is facing some calls for a boycott from Trump supporters
after placing a full-page ad in The New York Times urging Americans to attend town halls and engage in civic discourse.
While the "No Kings Day" ad did not mention Donald Trump by name, its emphasis on values like honoring commitments to allies, defending against dictators, and respecting trading partners was widely interpreted as a critique of Trump…

UNIX Trix
For those of you in the reseller business, here is a helpful tip that will
save your support staff a few hours of precious time. Before you send your
next machine out to an untrained client, change the permissions on /etc/passwd
to 666 and make sure there is a copy somewhere on the disk. Now when they
forget the root password, you can easily login as an ordinary user and correct
the damage. Having a bootable tape (for larger machines) is not a bad …
