Das Bundesamt für Statistik hat sich bei den Parteistärken verzählt. (Sitzverteilung bleibt.) Das ist peinlich, keine Frage, aber hey, eine Staatstragödie sollten wir nicht daraus machen! In a nutshell: - SVP-Plus ist geringer - FDP vor Mitte - MINT, so wichtig! #WahlCH23 #BfS

I said goodbye to a patient a few years ago. She didn’t die, she just got old. I treat patients to age 21 and they move on. When they do, I joke, “well, I did my job! I kept you alive until adulthood!” With this kid, it was not a joke. 1/

You removed it from the course knowing full well it would never return.

Kill your darlings, they say, and after ~27 years of teaching it, I have excised continuation-passing style from my programming languages course. I learned CPS in the basement of Lindley Hall, IU, from Mayer Goldberg through a brutally effective method: ↵

Our #ICER2022 hybrid conference design was somewhat unique & it kind of worked. Hybrid > Physical + Virtual A look behind the scenes and some lessons learned: medium.com/luceresearchlab/h… @ICER_C @luganomycity @USI_INF @usisoftware

Hybrid > Physical + Virtual

It’s a wrap! The first hybrid ICER conference is over! And it wasn’t too bad.
