If you will complete your PhD requirements by 7 May 2026, there are a couple of postdoc opportunities at Melbourne sites.research.unimelb.edu.au/research-fun...

Feel free to email me for more info!

Averageifying should just be AVERAGEIF, no? (I'll show myself out)

In the human case it's not even cargo culty just culty but what else am I going to do with myself, get into crossfit?

But then, if you don't have a specified correct behavior for the components only the composition thereof, why even have those tests? To make the CI machine go brrrr?

We encourage undergraduate, master’s, and early-stage PhD students interested in programming languages to apply for PLMW at PLDI 2026. It is a great opportunity to learn from researchers, build connections, and explore future directions in PL. Apply here: pldi26.sigplan.org/home/PLMW-PL...

I've heard deep PL lore stories over lunch as an msc student with the exact same argument, so seems like old timey wisdom you've tapped into

sorry i never responded to your email, i didn't want to and then i forgot

Can I quickly ummm actually into this conversation to say that Lower Decks is shitposting and Orville is fanfic and those are two distinctly different forms of fan art? (And, tbh, neither is truly parody, but there's Discourse[tm] about whether you can truly parody a genre from within, see HHGTTG.)

Asked and was told that yes, but only ironically

We're running a user study, maybe you can help!

We're studying the effect of new ways to show code diffs to programmers, and looking for participants for a 1-1.5hr virtual user study. In the study you will be shown several diffs and asked questions about them.

🙏🙏

Dear network, I am looking for a postdoc with experience in Lean (or some other theorem prover) and interest in systems.

Can you sign up and we'll huddle about it in the project meeting in like three hours? Thanks!!

רק מציינת שאנחנו מחפשים אנשים שלא גרים במדינה עם אזעקות 😬

If you:
* Speak English
* Currently work in Java
* Have 2+ years full time experience
* Occasionally look at diffs or do code review
* Are available before March 26

fill out this form, we will contact you to schedule.

Augh yes

Wait you can turn reskeets off?

Want to be peeved about cnn calling canishower.com and their predictive modeling "AI", but tbh it's worse that the headline question is "can AI predict missile strikes", instead of "how mentally broken does a person need to be for them to offload such decisions to what is basically astrology" (lots)

HCI summer research opportunity 📣 My group has two openings for research assistants this summer, both in scientific tools for thought. Applicants are welcome at any level. Please help me share the news! andrewhead.info/positions/20...

I think it's a question of where you draw the "boilerplate" line, though? For "pure" boilerplate you can abstract things away with libraries/language features for a better result tbh. If it's "boring things I don't like implementing" the water is murkier.
