  • There still isn’t a great competitor for access to certain groups that I followed on Twitter (i.e. legal analysts and real time local news). Thankfully, many of them have migrated to Mastodon, but there is still a bit of a gap and a lot of people are still pointing back to Twitter. I blame inertia more than anything for those groups remaining and it will take some more time for them to fall off of the platform.

    That all said, I left the platform after Musk started banning journalists and the flight tracker and I’ve not really missed it at all.




  • There’s been a lot of effort in creating intersectional degrees between CompSci and other fields. Yes a CS could do the analysis work, but they likely do not have the humanities driven education to construct the requirements for the analysis. Developing intersectional training can help develop a better bridge of understanding between the research design (i.e. the requirements) and the analysis or experiment design (i.e. the implementation). It’s been a while since I was in school, but while I was leaving, this intersectional/interdisciplinary approach was growing in popularity, which led to the development of these sort of joint or dual degrees such as CS & Astronomy or Biology or Journalism.
