I absolutely love the Society of Research Software Engineers, we need the rest of the world (and funders) to catch up. Data analysis is done by writing code. Efficient, creative, performant data tools are built by writing code. You need people who professionally write code.

My best/worst idea is that instead of speed limits we should have momentum limits. “Hey congrats on your new F-950, your max speed in the city is 4mph”

Border Force taking people's phone's isn't a new thing, btw. They've been doing it for years: abc.net.au/news/2018-10-08/i…

Border agents can demand access to your phone — here's what to say if it happens to you

Searching electronic devices at borders is similar to intercepting text messages — except police don't need a warrant to do it. Here's what to do if it happens to you.

So a pitch invader ran onto the field during Chelsea Womens' Champions League tie with Juventus. Sam Kerr dropped her shoulder into him, and put him on his backside -- she was booked as a result. Makes you proud to be an Australian... 🐐

Liberals trying to make it harder for people to vote: demanding photo ID on polling day. Who will miss out? Homeless, older people who’ve given up driver’s license, remote community residents. How many prosecutions for multiple voting last election? ZERO #auspol

To those in the Shute Shield scene, there is some extremely sad news to share regarding a man who epitomised the best of rugby culture. He continued to pull on the jersey into his 70s whenever 4th grade were short. Then he'd run the water... (cont) northernbeachesreview.com.au…

And bear in mind the PM’s only ‘action’ was to seek advice. He didn’t sack Porter or even discipline him. It should have been absolutely obvious from day one that Ministers should not accept money from unidentified sources. This government has to go & we need a federal ICAC.

Quick thread on the ANU modelling being reported this morning that has some scary numbers of deaths being projected if we 'open up' at 70% vax coverage. It looks very scary. But it's not a model that resembles the reality of what any authority in Australia is proposing. 1/

Imagining a parallel universe where the Doherty report included published source code for the model and a detailed description of how it works. Then we wouldn't have to wonder how predictions would change based on the real-world situation, we could just run it.
