My first W3C specification has been posted by the W3C. Super excited, cant wait to get the others in!

Hi 
, need advice! #help /H
Python or ... 
I'm looking for a customizable #tool for "massive" #linguistic #searches on the #Internet capable of #generating #lexical #associations. 
eg:
#INPUT (me): Musk
#OUTPUT (tool): Elon, Tesla, DOGE, Space X, X, Swasticar, Fellony, ...
in #trees #DB and giving the #frequency / #Stats of #use for #web #publication and future #referencing.
#Python you might say... but I'm not a #computer #scientist.

Ghidra is a free and open source reverse engineering tool developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) of the United States.
Great tool, it is java based; but very good and useful. Personally I don't work on malware, but just to understand code, and in terms of computer science, it is a great addition to the toolset.
#игры #CS Познакомился в катке с девочкой. Разговорились. Пообещал ей приехать к ней в Питер летом. Она сама добавила меня в друзья в стиме. Продолжили общение. А ей всего 21, девочка еще. По голосу старше казалась. Пригласил в наш чат скуфов, пообщаемся. Летом в любом случае в Питер полечу, может и её на кофе приглашу.
Still sounds weird every time I see the little label next to my name reminding me that I am on the W3C Advisory Committee... So cool!

I just realized this also makes QOTO a W3C member since its part of my new company and non-profit...
I wonder if #QOTO is the only fediverse server that is an official member of the W3C, if so that would be cool.
As of today I am officially an Advisory Committee Representative at the W3C. My new company has also joined a member of the W3C, exciting!
CS2 / CS:GO | Popular eSports game is available for Linux - Pro player vouched for it! 
CS:GO star EliGe slammed Microsoft after news about Windows' photo AI-memory feat called "Recall" (constant screenshots of everything you do) - no joke.
"We need to get Linux functional for FACEIT so we can get off this shit (Windows) ASAP".
FACEIT? An online competition / PvP multiplayer game platform.
@coolboymew They better fix this before #Christmas because I bought to #PS5 s for family for #Christmas 
What is #CS?
#CS Teachers Panic as Replit Pulls the Plug on Educational IDE. https://m.slashdot.org/story/421727
First they said, "you no longer need to learn #assembly language." Later this expanded to include #C." Then they said the same thing about #Perl. Eventually #emacs and #vim were also forgotten in favor of the new and the novel.
Now no one can code without an IDE that holds their hand and everyone thinks this is normal.
Hello! I just migrated here from another instance, so I suppose it’s time for an #introduction
Play: #LED, bedroom music producer, burgeoning white hat, radio programmer, and lover of learning—currently as much #CS #infosec and #physics as possible. Away from screens, I enjoy reading, cycling, golf, bouldering, snowboarding, cooking, and building things.
Work: I’m a #DigitalMarketing Manager at a marketing agency in the #Boston area.
Looking forward to sharing and learning here!
hot take: #cs academics should be expected not only to publish the full source of the programs that demonstrate their research (I can't believe this still needs to said), but they should also be expected to offer #ReproducibleBuilds of the environments so that the results may be reproduced at a later point in time. "it works on my machine" is no longer a legitimate problem and "I'm self-conscious about the code because its messy" both holds you to a lower standard than undergraduate CS students are held to for their assignments, while holding the reader responsible for reconstructing your research from some small set of source snippets, which amounts to imposing trust in the authority of university discourse, a kind of metaphysics.
taking a few weeks to learn how to use #guix for #ReproducibleResearch should not be too much to ask, knowledge production is mere discourse production when the results cannot be scrutinized beyond a peer review process without a good deal of effort, which we all know that few people have the time for. if you can't be bothered to get it working, then why should your readers be expected to assume that it works?
A little #Ruby gem I just published that allows you to create true abstract classes and methods in Ruby. Basically throws an error at instantiation / creation of an abstract class if abstract methods arent implemented.
While there are a few gems that allow you to create abstract classes and methods all of the ones i found just cause abstract methods to throw errors when called if not implemented. This solution actually throws an error when you attempt to create the class itself, so it is fail-fast and more in line with the spirit of an abstract method.

PS: Probably the first and only project I will ever write with a true 100% code coverage report :)
Very interesting waterfall (spectrogram) of a dial up modem connecting. I can even picture where all the sounds come from I remember hearing as a child from the classic dialup connection.
Ya know the more I reflect on the languages I know the more I realize that outside of functional languages none of them really handle immutability well.
Consider that you want most of your objects to be immutable most of the time. Thats all well and good till you realize you want to be able to edit the objects in such a way that it creates duplicates that have some data changed but are likewise immutable.
This tends to stop working, almost entierly, once you get into subclassing. If you parent class has a method that returns a copy of itself with some data modified, this will break in children classes, since you want children classes to return instances of itself, not its parent.
Its not that you cant fix that, but the code gets very ugly very quickly. Generally you are forced to let the code handling the classes do the copying and editing itself, but that is pretty ugly too.
I have had this pattern problem in almost every OO language i messed with, Java, Ruby, Python, etc.
I feel like my first #introduction wasn’t great. So I made a new #intro!
My name is Clayton and I'm a high school math teacher! I love playing #videogames, #books (feel free to ask what I'm reading), listening to #podcasts and #audiobooks on my commute, and #streaming. When I’m not doing any of that, I’ve been trying to learn how to #draw and I practice my #photography.
I’m playing #EldenRing, #CS, or #battlebit usually!
Et j’aime parler le #français :)
Yesterday was three months for me on tech.lgbt and seven months on fedi in general, so here's an updated introduction 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am a #CS PhD student in the upper midwest US. I mainly work in #NetworkSecurity and #BinaryAnalysis, particularly as they relate to (critical) #Infrastructure and #IoT. I've also dabbled in #Cryptology and #Microkernels. My current project deals with re-hosting and analyzing cellular baseband processor #binaries.
I also moonlight with a DOE Lab working on critical infrastructure security.
When I can escape work, I like #diy stuff, #sustainability #Free / #Libre Software, #ElectronicMusic, #Metal, #scifi, #fantasy, #anime, and #ttrpgs. I'm currently really getting into the #Shadowrun world. When the weather cooperates I like to go inline skating.
I'm excited to (still) be here and am looking forward to making some new connections
