I encourage all of my downstate friends to attend. I’ve played and coached lacrosse for 50 years and “The American Game” captures the good, the bad, and the ugly of the sport. My UB connection to Oren Lyons makes it all the more compelling.

AI can write a patch in seconds. A human maintainer still has to decide whether to accept it. That gap is the open source problem of the next five years. New ACM TechBrief on AI's effects on open source: 🧵 buff.ly/7X2AmZB

#OTD in #ComputingHistory in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law, helping accelerate the development and adoption of accessible computing technologies. Over the years that followed, accessibility evolved from a niche feature into a core principle of technology design. Screen readers, speech recognition, closed captions, text-to-speech, eye tracking, haptic feedback, live transcription, and customizable interfaces have become commonplace, making computers and digital services more usable for millions of people. Many innovations originally developed to improve accessibility now benefit everyone. Help us celebrate #DisabilityPrideMonth: buff.ly/cD7vZFq #HCI #ACM #Accessibility

Rasmus Dahlin's fiancée, Carolina Matovac, is attending her first game of the season tonight. The Sabres just showed her on the jumbotron. Nice moment for the crowd to welcome her home. She is back in Buffalo for the first time since her emergency heart transplant last summer.
