Somehow I missed when this video was published last year.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is such an important and inspiring document! Now more than ever we need to consider its contents. It is a slim document that lends itself well to being a small pamphlet, but its words are TREMENDOUS.

I'm Pro-Immigration. I'm surrounded by people who hate the very people who are building their homes planting, growing and providing their food for them. It's a horrible situation for immigrants who have escaped terrible situations in their countries. They struggle just to keep themselves and their children alive.
I'm living on stolen Ute Indian land in Salt Lake City.

As a 20-year user of #ubuntu I find concerning that the page celebrating the 20 years of the OS is full of references to LinkedIn and twitter: what a disconnect between Ubuntu the company and ubuntu the enthusiast user base. The page, the celebration itself even, is then not for non-paying users but for the enterprise-level users that pay. Makes sense, of course – a company needs to pay its bills –, but it is nonetheless an upsetting reminder.
While sending dozens upon dozens of bug reports over the years surely doesn't pay the bills, it is also free labour ubuntu got from me. Fair deal, though: I got a free, stable OS out of it, for 20 years, for all our servers, desktops and laptops.
And the "ISV" acronym (independent software vendor) finally explains why the rise of the snap packages, which as a user I don't want anything to do with – they have consistently brought trouble. Only makes sense, again, from the perspective of an enterprise with bills to pay.

Math Is Still Catching Up to the Mysterious Genius of Srinivasa Ramanujan
Born poor in colonial India and dead at 32, Ramanujan had fantastical, out-of-nowhere visions that continue to shape the field today.

Functional reorganization of brain regions supporting artificial grammar learning across the first half year of life
Infants have impressive auditory learning capabilities, even from the newborn stage. This study provides neuroimaging evidence that both newborns and 6–7-month-olds already learn and detect grammar-like rules, and that the underlying brain networks a…plos.io
Interesting that this study on infant brain development is not done with fMRI but with fNIRS (functional near-infrared spectroscopy [1]). And concerning to read about the complete reliance on software provided opaquely by a company for the analysis: "As all fNIRS data preprocessing was carried out on MATLAB-based toolboxes, no custom scripts are available."
[1] fNIRS measures more or less the same as fMRI: blood flow. "Using fNIRS, brain activity is measured by using near-infrared light to estimate cortical hemodynamic activity which occur in response to neural activity." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function…
Why is it concerning that the analysis relies entirely on Matlab toolboxes?
1. Reproducing the analysis requires access to the exact toolbox with the exact version number. May also have platform dependencies (e.g., outputs slightly different results on macos, linux, and windows).
2. Often the version of the toolbox is not reported. It isn't in this paper.
3. Increased use of the toolbox may lead to price gouging, excluding many who can't afford to purchase it. Besides the unfairness, this impacts the ability of just about anyone to reproduce the analysis from the raw data.
4. After some years the toolbox may not be available at all, for example if the company considers its maintenance a burden with negative returns on investment.
If you are a reviewer or an editor: at the very least demand the reporting of the toolbox version and the operating system version where it was run. And ideally demand enough specification of the algorithms used by the functions provided in the toolbox that an independent reimplementation and reanalysis is possible.
