@bcantrill @oxidecomputer Do you have any plans to open source your rfd platform?

[Tom Kunc @tfpk_]

@developerjack Can you get out strace or Wireshark to investigate on the system/network level?

I often hear the following: "no fault post-mortems are good", "lead by example" and "boss must resign". It seems to me that only two can be true - even if they stuffed up (do they design security personally?), a precedent of resignation seems an awful way to have good culture?

I find it surprising that, in my brief search, there are no government guidelines on best practices for events for under-18s, or on how to manage duty of care. Have I just missed something, or are we just hoping for the best?

@insoudev @olafurw Yeah! My docs are definitely a work in progress, and I think one big challenge with Nom is the lack of good starter material. There are some good resources in the replies I'll have to add in!

@SpanishPear Seeing this tweet reminded me that was possible, which led to this at about 11pm last night.

#pyconlineau @tfpk_ Ten Tips For Teaching Technical Topics https://t.co/Cl6170lhJX

[Tom Kunc @tfpk_]

This is so brilliant, thank you @hogesonline !!!

@thewrongjames @SpanishPear I think the issue is realistically that in many respects, Uni is trying to take the place of Vocational Education. CS1 and SEng courses would make more sense at a TAFE/ apprenticeship style education. They don't need academics teaching them like proofs/AI research do.

[Tom Kunc @tfpk_]

A PhD ≠ training in teaching. For advanced courses the tradeoffs might be different, but for CS1/2, having a PhD seems uncorrelated with a good course.

@hogesonline https://t.co/e3iXiQzPp0 is one of my favourite talks on this topic, and I think the opening insight is really good -- there are a bunch of questions we don't ask when we start thinking about teaching coding. I don't think this article answers any of the right ones.

@insoudev @jashankj @SpanishPear And it's not even open source, which would allow us to fix the broken mess.

.@groklearning (now @grokacademy) paid me less than my male peers and lied about it. This happens to women, especially in tech, all. the. time. We fix it by talking about it. Please share.

@__xurtis > Collective punishment for individual acts ... and, in general, any
form of torture or cruelty, are forbidden. (Article 87, 3rd Geneva Convention).

Not that I'm saying it applies here, just seems a little inadvisable to break it.

[Tom Kunc @tfpk_]

@jashankj I'm unclear what the issue is here?

[Tom Kunc @tfpk_]

@jashankj I would love to see your "How To Shitpost" presentation, with LaTeX slides and practical workshop after...

[Tom Kunc @tfpk_]

@ACM_Ethics @TheOfficialACM Is there a reason why https://t.co/x6GVyLXopL links to an "Inbox Mailer" form?

[Tom Kunc @tfpk_]

@adambspencer Isle, aisle, I'll, eye'll (granted that last one is a reach)

[Tom Kunc @tfpk_]

@jashankj You could use YouTube's new system of dividing up videos into smaller chunks, and then have info in the description about dependencies, etc?

If this isn't the most 2020 screenshot I've taken, I don't know what is.
