Wil and Anne Wheaton trading the transporter for a TARDIS!


in reply to Muse

After I posted a meme that was an expression of frustration about a ruling that the US president is above the law, I even appended my own joke comment. I deeply regretted it. Especially, since it encouraged others to make statements of joke violence. I should not have opened that door. I felt even worse after Kyle Gass ended up breaking up with Tenacious D and leaving Australia over a similar, if more overt comment.

It took some time to find that post, but I did and deleted it.

I am hardly perfect. I do not believe violence is the answer to any of our problems. The means do not justify the ends, the means ARE the ends. If we want peace in the world, then we must learn how to create peaceful solutions.

I apologise for my actions. I do know better, and I will do even better in the future. โค

Sometimes I think: maybe I should be in the bigger pond of the federation. Then I think, I am happy in a smaller pond.

I've just created a Google Drive-based tool for enabling students to appreciate each other's class participation in a collaborative way. Totally untested, so I have no idea how it might fly. I'd love your feedback! drive.google.com/drive/foldersโ€ฆ
in reply to Nathan Schneider

reminds me of an old system (though more groupwork than class participation) developed at my institution but used less and less - sparkplus.com.au/using-sparkplโ€ฆ - from memory, a key component (picking up from Ostrom's commons management principles) was getting students to specify the participation criteria at the outset - like writing a constitution for the group

in reply to System76

Great episode! One thing I would have liked to hear about: what is the economic model for Cosmic development? Is it funded by S76 hardware sales? Or are other distros supporting it?

I'm curious from an OSS sustainability perspective.

I often get invited to speak at bizarre meetings that are not in my field of expertise. I have often wondered what these meetings must be like, or if they really exist.

What is it like to attend a predatory conference?

in reply to Frank Aylward

If you say yes, they'll use your name to lure in other researchers. If you all were to agree, it'd become a proper conference, indistinguishable from the regular conference series organised as a business by established entities.
in reply to Albert Cardona

@albertcardona i don't think they are very targeted, though. If i agreed it seems doubtful that other people in my field would show up too - it would just be me presenting giant virus work to dentists and nephrologists in a half empty room at a Marriot
