A Hallmark movie where their hands meet inside the turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today, “bird” *is* the word.

Doing my part to bring a little holiday spirit into the work Teams chat 🎄

It’s green bean casserole season and you’ll never get me to stop loving this slop.

Wheels down in Chicago, marking the end of #SC24 for me. Can’t wait for #SC25!

P.S. Weka threw the best party featuring Jimmy Eat World 🎸

It sure looks like it! Although I’m sure a few teams have the Bluejay mascot across D1, D2, D3

When the College Football Hall of Fame staff said EVERY college football team had its helmet on the wall, I was determined to find @macalestercollege.bsky.social

#SC24

Big news at #SC24: El Capitan (LLNL) overtakes Frontier (ORNL) for top spot in the HPC Top500.

Hello, Bluesky!

Excited to meet and reconnect with folks in Atlanta this week at #SC24.

Here's to another year of learning more about our biggest computers and the people who make them super. 🚀

Waiting to board my plane after another productive @escience. First in-person conference since 2019 in the books!

...and I finally met my @ORNLComputing team in-person! While nobody was as tall or short as expected, everyone was just as great as advertised.

Nice!

Celebrating the little things!

I had the pleasure of co-teaching (with instructors from @argonne) the FIRST-EVER Data4All workshop to high school students on Chicago's south side.

In just *5 DAYS* we explored everything from music to cholera to COVID-19.

Check out this feature:...

Live action shot before the crowd rolled in!

By special request, I broke out the fiddle at the virtual #GlobusWorld social hour.

Many fans of research data management and strings!

Twas the first 10 seconds of the #GlobusWorld keynote... and my local Xfinity crashes.

Last week I sat down with @alieward to discuss research, patents, product development, and the @NightWareDevice on @CBSInnovationTV.

Look for the interview on CBS this Fall! 🍂

The best application I've read for the @CDAC_UChicago summer research lab:

"My desire to fight against evil firstly emerged when my favorite bicycle was stolen".

Nothing quite like a #DataScience revenge arc.

"My dad and I never had much in common, he was the big trucks and NASCAR guy and I was the dork who played violin"

A fun interview with @alaaelassar on @cnn!

"Apologies for my tardy reply, I accidentally 'left' my laptop at the bottom of Lake Michigan"

Apparently my @IEEEorg account was hacked and someone ordered an "Introduction to Penetration Testing" course using my credit card?

The irony isn't lost on me, hacker person.

Pretty much all of my emails the day after final grades are published:

"Dear Tyler,

I hope you are well. LOVED the class! You are a big stupid idiot. An A-? For real? Will you please be a non-idiot for just 5 seconds and round up my grade?

Warm Regards,
Student

^^^ please share advice if you've ever written a test at any level. Or taken one. Or just have opinions.

HOW DO TEACHERS/PROFESSORS WRITE TESTS?

My class has a midterm next week and I have no idea if these problems take 3 hours. Or 14 hours.

And like how many points should I make the different parts? Do I base it on 'importance of concept' or 'hardness of problem'?

AHHHHHH.

Today in a live coding example (they code verbally, I type in the editor), my students somehow could recite pi to far more places than reasonable machine precision.

WHY IS THIS COMMON KNOWLEDGE?

Thoughts from Day 1 of teaching C for @UChicagoCS:
1. Zoom is hard.
2. 31 students have now written, compiled, and run their first-ever C program and it was heartwarming.
3. Zoom is hard.

Today is Day 1 of my teaching career: Intro Computer Science II (in C) for @UChicagoCS! LET'S. OVERFLOW. SOME. STACKS.

High schooler applying to UChicago CDAC summer lab: "When I look at lines of code, I don’t just see words and variables and algorithms, I see the lives it will potentially improve, the time it will potentially save, or the smiles it will potentially put on people’s faces."

Great Doctoral Symposium Keynote @Middleware2019! @AlyssonBessani provides a unique perspective on the perks and duties of becoming a professor.
