- People who maintain open source software deserve to have normal lives. E.g., enough money to live reasonably, enough time to have families, and a work life free from abuse. It doesn't make sense that we sacrifice these things so companies can save money on their software stacks.
- So, some pretty big life news... Come fall, I've accepted a position as an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science. @SCSatCMU @isrcmu Over the moon rn 😺 Goodbye Boston, hello Pittsburgh!
- 🇩🇪🇺🇲 My German husband in America trying to measure the diameter of a pipe in ungodly units of measurements: "It's... one inch and six chicken nuggets around" This is how it is every day with him EVERY. DAY.
- Hi 👋 I'm a computer science professor that has to teach computer science courses on Zoom now This is my new Zoom background that I will now use when teaching You're welcome (PS, please please know what this is from 🙏)
GIF - Open source isn't free. This free lunch free-for-all is going to come back and bite us. Somebody has to work on the stuff we all depend on
- As a Computer Scientist, reading medical research papers is always a shock Scientific papers in medicine are short, get directly to the point, and they definitely don't include arbitrary sections that reviewer #2 required for acceptance. Also, cute titles aren't a thing.
- I wish I saw more people simply enabling others in tech There's just so much self-promotion & so many ulterior motives everywhere People focused on what they can get out of others People aren't opportunities to be exploited People are everything & we should enable each other.
- So, cool news! On Monday I start working on distributed programming for @unisonweb! SUPER excited to work for the next few months with the formidable @pchiusano @runarorama @aryairani as a Visiting Researcher with Unison Computing! 💜
- Heya! I am recruiting a PhD student at CMU at the intersection of distributed systems and machine learning 😃 Application deadline: Dec 9! (GREs not req) If this could be you, feel free to reach out and to let me know to look for your application in the pile! RTs welcome 🤗
- Hi, my name is Heather. No, I'm not a secretary or an event organizer. And please don't ever explain to me what a tuple is again. Thanks.
- Accidentally showed up to a group call with the CMU counseling center with this Zoom background. How's your day going?
- Haha, ok, the game is won. We officially have the coolest PhD students at @isrcmu @SCSatCMU. They made Magic The Gathering cards for the faculty. You all are the best ♥️ cc/ @cmeik @kevinclancy_ @zeeshanlakhani
