Someone on Reddit is calling me and my coauthors "linguistics weirdos" for writing this. Will the justices agree? Looking forward to finding out during oral argument tomorrow at 10am! supremecourt.gov/

Proud to work in a CS department that was recently ranked *2nd* in the nation for women in STEM! It didn't happen by accident. Props to @GUWomenCoders and other efforts inviting diverse students to study Computer Science at Georgetown! @Georgetown @georgetowncs
America’s Best and Worst Colleges for Women in STEM. The U.S. needs more scientists and engineers. Some colleges are closing the gap. Others have no excuse for failing. @LauraColarusso explains in the new Washington @Monthly College Guide. washingtonmonthly.com/2024/0…

Does anyone have a favorite textbook or online resource for teaching semi-advanced Python concepts like iterators/generators, type hints, and the match statement? Looking for Python 3 + advanced undergraduate level (students already proficient in C++ and Java).
