I haven't been on masto for a while, because I'm teaching a short course in Utah on research reproducibility.
Materials if anyone is interested: https://vickysteeves.gitlab.io/2018-uutah-repro/
Some observations about Utah:
- it NEVER gets dark here!! sundown is like 10pm
- everyone is unreasonably nice
- there is no one in SLC after 8pm
- the elevation is so sneaky! I gain/lose 800 feet just going to the building where I'm teaching from the hotel.
Headed to Salt Lake City for the first time! Send me any of your fave spots there (and tips for a winter girl dealing with the heat).

Toooo many thoughts to go to bed on time tonight/last night....
RT @HiroRwar@twitter.com: American badgers look like they're about to drag you into a back alley and pull a shiv on you to demand money for their meth habit.
European badgers look like they're about to invite you over for a cup of tea and some custard creams at their little cottage in the countryside.
I got a very lovely birthday treat from @remram44 for my birthday today!

My boss showed me #DeepL - a translation website that has really good results. So far, the translations by DeepL are not at all awkward like these from google translate are sometimes. https://www.deepl.com
it's officially my birthday (edt) ๐ ๐ ๐
GitPub: An extension to ActivityPub for web-based Git services federation https://github.com/git-federation/gitpub
what is your favourite #FOSS tool for managing timing and people across a project, for a large collaborative project?
libraries are such an important space
not only for free information, but especially for at risk populations and homeless populations
they offer free or very cheap internet access (which allows for finding resoucres, job applications, etc), free access to information, bathrooms, often places have refreshments for relatively cheap as well, etc. etc.
wanting to make public libraries obsolete is classist and just an incorrect viewpoint tbh
Folks are going to have to relearn the importance of good infrastructure management and backups after #GitHub
Especially the backups
Are you currently looking at a bland desktop? Is your wallpaper uninspiring? Do your eyes crave something other than the default desktop wallpaper?
If you have a computer capable of displaying wallpaper you owe it to your pixels to check out https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/static6/sources&page=wallpapers
@davidrevoy has some amazing artwork up there that is just waiting to grace your desktop / background.
Only you can prevent bland desktops.
happy 4th birthday to Little Boss ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ
