Very nice librarian saw me setting up on the floor in the hallway and said "Use the teens area! They're all in school right now"

Yay libraries!!

This particular library was the only place I could work on making my first faculty job talk (while keeping my 1yo somewhat happy), during an incredibly unstable, stressful period of my life.

So I love this library, but it's also definitely bringing up some bad memories. Trying to focus on being grateful that I'm in a very good place now personally.

Daughter just came home to tell me the teachers at school tried to confiscate her vape but they couldn't because it's actually a kazoo.

"I made a kazoo noise at them and I could see them dying on the inside so I made a sad kazoo noise instead. I don't think it helped."

The grin on her face.

#eduroam has been named one of the 13 Dutch brilliant breakthroughs by the Dutch Research Council (NWO)

Created in 2002 by Klaas Wierenga, eduroam started as a simple idea: make Wi-Fi secure, easy & free for students and researchers, wherever they go.

Today, eduroam connects people at almost 40,000 locations in 106 countries. In 2024 alone, it recorded over 8.4 billion authentications.

👏 Congrats to all its contributors from the R&E community for building a service with such global impact.

(Me): so, we create this "virtual memory" to trick processes into thinking they have a contiguous address layout

(Medieval peasant): Would not thy abstraction swell the tally of mem'ry lookups?

(Me): well, yes. to deal with that we created the "translation lookaside buffer"

Reminder: even with a sanitized document that can't phone home, there are still ways you can be tracked. There are watermarking methods such as printer tracking dots, intentional misspellings and extra spaces, that have been used in the past to detect whistleblowers. Be extra cautious when handling documents that have been sent to you personally.
