One of the most exhausting things about being a (perceived) woman working in computational physics is dealing with men who don't think women can do physics and men who don't think women can code (there is a lot of overlap here). Things men have tried to 'explain' to me recently:
- Basic coding practices
- A topic I have published papers on
- How to debug a code ("have you tried adding print statements")
- How code releases work
- My own ideas

The most incredible mindbender is
**Running Linux in a PDF*"
Yeah somebody created a virtual machine within a portable document format file and runs a micro Linux version in it I will not talking about just the kernel!

Are you just like me? Do you want to make fantastically beautiful posts and not be limited by a silly 500 character fence, but want to BANG intricate stories of 10.000 characters?
Don't be limited by those silly 500 character servers!
Browse over here, find an instance that's suitable to you and go there. The list doesn't have everyone who has that massive 5,000 character size, but the list has a lot of servers, so pick one choose one and go be the literary giant that you are
And yes there are servers which have a fantastically glorious 10,000 character limit!

Day 11 Prompt: "Impossible day - Try to do something that feels impossible for you to do. Maybe it is impossible. Maybe it’s too ambitious. Maybe it’s something you know nothing about how to accomplish."
I'm going back to a past prompt and challenge. Something impossible. It has been impossible for me to earn the pay a man would receive for my work, if he had done it.
I once wrote a function I named "drawKusamaDots()", and it gives me great joy to see it again.

OK, I'm going to mute this post now. For some reason, dudes read it and assume I don't know about writing code comments or documenting my work.
I may need to make any future posts about the joys of coding, but only if I mute all replies.
Seriously, do better.
I rarely post about coding, just because of this behavior.
It's so exhausting and annoying.

Why create discussion on something controversial of which you know that it has not materialized within The Awesome VLC?
I'm correcting myself without removing my words. It seems like VLC is teasing that feature
I don't want it.
It is unnecessary and it eats resources

@nixCraft make sure you mention you have (insert obscure distro here) or better you build everything from the boot sector to the kernel & GCC from scratch, so you are the #Mother #Superior of Linux

$ man perl
Hmmm I see a warning here
IMHO Perl is like any computing language, why you need to learn the syntax
I think C is tougher

I love Amber CRT 80x25 38400bps serial monitors. I have a Wyse green serial console here as we speak. I love coding in console mode and play my Music On Console (mocp)
I avoid IDE & love to do ./configure make make install
I must be diehard hardcore programmer then

When I started my pre-Master in Computer Science, I had no experience with programming, command lines, git, Linux, ssh, ...
The pre-Master consisted of Bachelor-level courses from all three Bachelor years. Hence, from day 1, I had to be able to program at the level of a 3rd year Bachelor student, in multiple programming languages.
Unsurprisingly, this was a steep learning curve for me. Being surrounded by people who had been writing code since they were 8 years old contributed massively to my sense of insecurity and anxiety. Being surrounded by mostly men, who in some cases really felt the need to put me in my place whenever I showed any sign of competence, really didn't help me feel better.
This has kinda stayed with me. Even though I sometimes encountered people who were way more clumsy than I was in working with these tools, I still felt massive imposter syndrome.
Just now, a software developer sat next to me as I typed commands into my terminal. Afterwards, he remarked that I clearly know my way around the command line.
I wouldn't say that I'm healed now, but this for sure felt like a win.
I can't BELIEVE Ambre is the first thing to greet you on the #AppleVisionPro #AppStore today! Pinch me, cus I must be dreaming

#WomenWhoCode #Atlanta
Atlanta based Women Who Code announced on Thursday that they would be dissolving the organization after a vote of the board of directors over funding issues.
WSB Atlanta:
Women Who Code, Atlanta-based tech nonprofit, unexpectedly shuts down
"So much has been accomplished, but our mission is not complete."

it seems that local technical #meetups are on life support in many cities. the news about #womenwhocode really set me back this week knowing the impact they have had on many women in the industry.
i would love to hear some positive news about groups that meet regularly that are thriving. link me!
In case you were curious, there's several hundred local volunteer organizers for #WomenWhoCode meet ups scrambling to find ways to stay in touch with their members and each other, and just pure silence from the entire global staff.
If y'all were serious about "paying maintainers" you could do a lot of good right now with a very little bit of money. Paying for meetup or zoom would help a *lot* of marginalized technologists. Or even better, connect them with a new 501c3 parent org.
