MicroSoft Word grammatical suggestion to change "trial-and-error" to "trial-and-terror"

I guess I need to start reading up on the CSEd literature on "trial-and-terror" debugging

Welp. CHI reviews might suck but at least there's Hades II

🚨 There’s still time to support the transit bill:

1. Fill out your contact information
3. Under "firm/business" put "self"
4. Under "representation" put "self"
5. Under "position" choose subject matter "SB2111" and "proponent"
6. Under "testimony" choose "record of appearance only"
7. "Submit"

Me, this morning: "Let me just make a quick Canvas announcement to students that Canvas is down"

Happy second deadline extension to all who celebrate #ISLS2026

Trump is preparing to target liberal non-profits and Democratic funding networks with executive orders as "punishment" for their alleged involvement in Charlie Kirk's murder. Meanwhile there's no evidence the shooter was left-wing & most political violence is right-wing www.pbump.net/o/reassessin...

Citation practices were already a bit sketchy in academia without AI, but luckily AI has supercharged the problem. Maybe this is what Sam Altman meant by "PhD-level intelligence"?

the maga constitution doesn’t allow any institution, public or private, to explicitly work to ameliorate racial inequality but allows the government to racially profile

I think the worst part of moving is probably removing command strips

Wait until you get to use the broken Word macros to format the final document in production! I almost gave up on the article last time

Thank you to everyone at TOCE for the most low friction review process! The amount of work that has gone into providing resources for authors and reviewers is appreciated!

We advance a more expansive framing in which music and coding are mutually reinforcing, and which recognizes the inherent heterogeneity in how learners engage with both domains.

We argue that even when broader goals were stated, this work often defaulted to cognitive individualistic models of learning centered on conventional computing engagement.

In this paper, we look at the aims of a slice of CS education research that integrates music and coding, finding that music is largely positioned as motivational context or as material for computing.

Computational Thinking and Epistemic Heterogeneity: A Critical Review of Music+Coding | ACM Transactions on Computing Education In recent years, the intersection of music and coding has emerged as a cross-disciplinary approach to engage learners in both musical and computational expression. This article examines the motivation...

Trying to find clipart of an eighth note for a graphic I'm making and somehow ended up with this monstrosity (which I did not ask for)

Would it really be that surprising if Mamdani beats Cuomo, the establishment choice, given the net favorability of the democratic party is like -20?

Pre-conference workshop on homebrewing? 👀

Honestly, it might be a fairly fundable research topic nowadays!

STEAM: science, technology, engineering, alcohol, and math

Besides the obvious issues, I actually think that engaging kids in science through brewing beer would work really well

But I love how Clinton and Obama only show up to torpedo progressive candidates in primaries 🙄

a coalition of landlords and perverts

Opinion | Trump Might Take the U.S. to War. Where Are Schumer and Jeffries?

Schumer and Jeffries couldn't be bothered to sign onto Kaine's bill that would require congressional authorization or to even hold a press conference www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/o...

What gets me isn't just the absolute cruelty and idiocy of the current administration, but also that the Democratic leadership offers no substantive opposition.

and as we know, "viewpoint diversity" means, "you need to recruit, hire and reward white nationalists"

Especially after seeing how the city handled the protests in 2020, it's difficult to understand how anyone thinks this is a good idea

Super excited to be sharing my work at #ISLS2025 tomorrow!

Rapid Response Bridge Funding Program In the face of recent abrupt shifts in federal funding for education research, including large-scale terminations of National Science Foundation (NSF) research grant awards, we have developed a rap...

FYI: The Spencer Foundation, Kapor Foundation, The William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation have collaborated to offer $25K rapid response grants.

"This rapid response bridge funding opportunity is for scholars and teams whose grants have recently been cancelled by NSF."
