Pursuing Master's in Computer Science: specifically interested in functional programming, languages and data science

Liberation looks like freedom:
Freedom from state controls like police, borders, & prisons;
Freedom looks like a reduced dependency on money;
Freedom looks like being able to spend time with & provide for our loved ones;
Freedom means access to learning opportunities and a pedagogy that centers collective struggle and liberation.

Liberation means all of us.

There's Nothing.new under the sun

Abstract

Quick: say something about Ruby that hasn't already been said.

Not easy, right? This community is prolific. In thousands of talks, Ruby's story has been told and retold. We heralded programmer happiness, path of least surprise, and confident code. We unleashed metaprogramming (until we tamed our DSLs). We built apps, tested them to death, and then legacy-rescued them.

What's left to say? We could tell the same stories again, but that wouldn't be very DRY. What we need to hear was often said years ago, so this talk will help us rediscover timeless lessons from our community's greatest hits.

The Techno-Rebels

The magnitude of such an advance—its importance for the future of evolution itself—makes it critically necessary that we begin to guide it. To adopt a hands-off, damn-the-torpedoes approach could spell doom for ourselves and our children. For the power, scale, and speed of the change is like nothing before in history, and our minds are still fresh with news of the near-catastrophe at Three Mile Island, the tragic DC-10 crashes, the hard-to-plug massive oil spill off the Mexican coast, and a hundred other technological horrors. Faced with such disasters, can we permit the development and combination of tomorrow’s even more powerful technologies to be controlled by the same shortsighted and selfish criteria used during the Second Wave era?

The basic questions asked of new technologies during the past three hundred years, in both capitalist and socialist nations, have been simple: do they contribute to economic gain or military clout? These twin criteria are clearly no longer adequate. New

Sutra on the Profound Kindness of Parents

佛說父母恩重經 The Buddha Speaks the Sutra on the Profound Kindness of Parents

如是我聞。一時佛在王舍城耆闍崛山中。與大菩薩摩訶薩及聲眷屬俱。亦與比丘比丘尼優婆塞優婆夷。一切諸天人民及天龍鬼神。皆來集會。一心聽佛說法。瞻仰尊顏。目不暫捨。 Thus have I heard. One time the Buddha was staying at Gṛdhrakūṭa Mountain in Rājagṛha, together with great bodhisattvas (mahāsattva) and śrāvaka disciples, as well as bhikṣus, bhikṣunīs, upāsakas, and upāsikās. All devas, humans, and also heavenly dragons and spirits gathered together, wholeheartedly listening to the Buddha’s teaching of the Dharma, gazing upon his revered countenance without averting their eyes for even a moment.

	The Dakota Access Pipeline (by Energy Transfer Partners) is being constructed dangerously close to the primary water supply (Missouri River) of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Police have militarized against protestors. Here's what can be done to help.

	*** UCSF's school of medicine is setting up a clinic to provide healthcare for the assembled; there are 2,000-5,000 people and the local IHS hospital has only 12 beds. You can donate here:

	*** You can also donate to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe for help with emergencies, sanitation, and legal fees against Energy Transfer Partners:

	*** The protesters have a wishlist if you want to send them supplies (especially for the upcoming winter):
