I wrote a post about @bangbangcon (our inclusive conference about the joy & surprise of computing) and why I'd love you to submit a talk jvns.ca/blog/2019/02/1…
also: !!Con is pay-what-you-want, and we rely on our amazing sponsors every year so that we can build an even more inclusive conference every year. If you ❤ !!con, a huge thing you can do to help us is to ask your company to sponsor! bangbangcon.com/sponsors
this is a huge year for !!Con because for the first time we're running 2 conferences: !!Con original (bangbangcon.com, in May) and !!Con West (bangbangcon.com/west, in February)

i reorganized my blog's front page by category instead of just listing all the posts by date. can't tell if it's better or worse :) jvns.ca
these were the categories I came up with (i think my favorite is probably "how a computer thing works")
I found a kind of nice way to do this: instead of tagging each blog post with a category (which I'm way too lazy to do), I just made a text file with all the posts (github.com/jvns/jvns.ca/b…), organized them into headings in vim, and wrote some scripts

nmap
i haven't used nmap much except to scan my home network for fun so if i missed something really important i'd love to know!
also i need to find space in there somewhere for "if you don't run nmap as root it can't send icmp (ping) packets, it's better to run nmap as root"

was reminded yesterday that I love the talk transcript format i came up with for this talk: jvns.ca/blog/so-you-wa…
writing up transcripts like this is time consuming (it probably took me 2-3 hours?) but it's nothing compared to how long it took to prepare the talk and I think it's really worth it
it's also very easy to implement: this is what the html looks like if you view source

1. One question that jumps at me in this passage, Luke 10:25-37, is – Who are the robbers of our days? How do we describe robbery in our day ? The original robber is Satan who leverages the sin nature to destroy other people's lives (John 10:10). #Love
2. There are armed robbers who rob physically with weapons and there are also economic and political robbers destroying people’s lives. (James 5:4) #Love
3. Whichever way the robbers rob, they leave people wounded and hurt. There are people in our world today who are wounded. #Love

Why did 80s/90s cyberpunk authors and Victorian sci-fi authors get so many predictions right, while mid-20th-century sci-fi authors got so many things wrong?

I wrote a post about this question back in 2017: noahpinionblog.blogspot.com/2017/09/what-w…
Dang, I used to be a really good blogger. I should blog more.
Also, it never ceases to amaze me how much cyberpunk sci-fi has become reality.

Bent on growth, Zuck & Sandberg ignored warning signs about their platform being used by Russia and then sought to conceal them from public view.
nytimes.com/2018/11/14/tec…
This report is based on interviews w more than 50 current & former Fb execs & employees, lawmakers, govt officials, lobbyists & congressional staff members. Most spoke on the condition of anonymity because they had signed NDAs, were not authorized, or feared retaliation.
At critical moments over the last three years, Sandberg & Zuck were distracted by personal projects, and passed off security and policy decisions to subordinates, according to current and former executives.

Let's talk about imposter syndrome in tech -- specifically, ways we can combat it better, both individually and as a community (a thread) 👇
Imposter syndrome is "a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success" [HBR].
Imposter syndrome has become common -- researchers have estimated that 70% of the population has experienced signs of imposter syndrome at some point during their lives.

Due to #overuse (read, #trying to be what i #usedtobe, and #computing every day)

I must stop the majority of my right arm usage for a week. Maybe 2.

#OnWithTheShow!

I've been a bit #reluctant to talk about #issues

My #health is up & down, and I'm used to it.
I get around, or I lay down (laying down while typing right now)
&now that my forearm is burnin, I'll be doing this a little less as previously stated.

fine enough, but lets talk bout-
-internalized disabili-phobia. (gimmee a break,& gimmee the word if it exists)

it kinda works like internalized homophobia really. I pulled inside all of the shit I've heard for years. all of the hate, all of the "there's no place for you, so go and die already". all inside-

Database migrations and 17th century windmills by Wander Hillen. #bangbangcon
Windmills are Wander's favorite machines. Disclaimer, he's Dutch. We should let machines do the boring stuff so that human minds can do stuff like poetry and conferences and important stuff. #bangbangcon
Even windmills constructed in 1781 have so much automation; they have wind powered elevators as well as milling capability. and windmills to rotate the windmill! and ability to adjust how much wind it catches to slow down. #bangbangcon
