Twin-volume alert: Hoping two vols – some 6 lb of solid research – on women #philosopers in the #19thCentury will leave a mark on the field. Thanks to @lydiamoland.bsky.social and Alison Stone for their superb editorship. Challenging a male-dominated canon, one page at a time.

This is fantastic news. For lifelong learners like me, The Great Courses Plus is an incredible bargain. Thank you and keep up the great work!

The Great Courses Plus has remastered digitally Thomas Noble’s “The Foundations of Western Civilization”. It looks fantastic! I hope more remasterings are coming of back-catalog classics. @kevinmanzel.bsky.social?

CodeCarbon.io CodeCarbon is a lightweight software package that seamlessly integrates into your Python codebase. It estimates the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by the cloud or personal computing resources...

Just discovered codecarbon.io. Programmers should use such tools to improve not only their effect on the world at large, but also possibly to save money!

A comic of Scooby-Doo asking "Scooby-Doo, Where are you?" - also, "Why are you?" Scooby-Doo looks depressed that he doesn't have an answer to "Why are you." He smokes a cigarette and drinks whiskey at the bar while pondering it.

I'm an author, activist, existentialist, in exodus from Twitter. New here, but ready to make this my new home. Follow along for weekly philosophy discussions, every Sunday. Join in! 😀

Amen!

Read on Greg Wilson's blog (can't find him on Bluesky).
"...it was time to acknowledge that working programmers aren’t going to care about software engineering research in my lifetime..."

Not a good thing, if true for most programmers.

Thanks! I'm rapidly concluding that I will have to create my own Starter Pack (if I can find folks). I will make sure you are on it!

Thanks! I did just follow them all.

What philosophers on Bluesky are working in the Philosophy of Computer Science? I’m very interested in following such folks. #philsky #philtech #philsci

Thanks to Theo Epstein for breaking the “Curse of the Bambino” and then also bringing a championship to the Cubs!

Born in Brooklyn, so was once a Mets fan. Now a Red Sox fan, since I’m up here near Beantown.

Now we need to get more on #bsky!
