Best two sentences ever? Thanks @neauoire!"A lot of people think that ideas that died went away because they were bad, but it's almost never the case. When you start looking into these systems, it's always a social dynamic, or politics that made it so people forgot."https://100r.co/site/computing_and_sustainability.html

I am actively looking for a new job. I've spent quality time at "R1" universities first getting my CS PhD and then teaching for over a decade. For the last few years I've been in industry doing mostly (though not exclusively) systems software. I've been a software architect for foundational services on two recent product roll-outs that are making actual money. No "crypto" no "AI" no "surveillance" and remote only (unless it's a teaching gig). I like it in Bavaria.#getfedihired #getfedhired

That cabinet meeting is making me projectile vomit. It's literally exactly how it would play out in Russia or China or any other full-on dictatorship. A bunch of assholes sit around a table and tell the huge asshole in the middle that he's the greatest. Everybody is lying with almost every word they say but it's being broadcast and "analyzed" by people with serious faces. What a terrible joke! This to me is literally the end of the US as a democracy. It ended today, and it ended with that meeting. Not that there was much left before, but at least there was never any of this groveling at the smelly feet of a naked emperor. Disgusting.
