Preparing materials for an advanced database systems course. It’s been fun getting into the nitty-gritty of converting data structures from in-memory to on-disk representations. Also enjoying doing it in #dlang

Can you guess what happens when you provide temporary financial assistance to those at risk of homelessness? ... ... You *massively* reduce the chances that those people experience homelessness. The benefits to homelessness prevention exceed costs. direct.mit.edu/rest/article-a…

@rhatr Most millennials like me are working on non-Apache open source projects these days. Some are part of the Cloud Native Foundation, but most are independent projects. ASF isn’t the center of the big data world like it used to be, especially with things more data scienc-y now

Yes but, I feel like both sides are to blame: most millennials just don't seem to be interested in working inside of the sausage factory AKA governance side of Open Source. And that does create this huge imbalance:

@cra @rhatr What's definitely wrong is that there are not so many millennials in foundation leadership at the moment, and it is a reason for facilitating rotation of roles and more involvement. I don't want to finger point on some older open source orgs, but they became Politburo

I would call today successful. Lots of progress on class prep, successful call with potential corporate partner, helped some students, walked the dog, went Rambo on the weeds taking over our garden, and overcame key technical hurdles with a consulting project.

What is more clear than ever is that American school children need also lessons on African history pre-Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Because the ignorance African architecture, technology and centers of learnings by educated adults is just breathtaking. Like, stunning.

Can Biology students succeed when working 20+ hours outside of class? It doesn’t look great, and we have work to do 😬 we were excited to present alongside the excellent posters at #SABER2023 and discuss new strategies to lift this population

How ending legacy #admissions 10 years ago changed @JohnsHopkins. Since 2013, the % of students in our incoming classes who have a family connection dropped from 8.5% to 1.7%, and % of first-generation or limited-income students rose from 16.7% to 30.8%. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

@TaliaRinger I feel that. I definitely have moments like that on the regular in this job.

I have a weird amount of anxiety right now. Just kind of drowning in the general feeling that I have 15000 things to do but can remember only 3 of them, and it's going to come back to bite me and everyone who is relying on me
