@xgranade @glyph I can thankfully not take credit for that crime. That's all @astraluma

@pathunstrom @xgranade @glyph that is probably the most concise one, but we've got a whole talk of them
-
I love talks that, as a 25 year Python veteran, have the ability make me say to myself “wait, does that even work” with less than 10 lines of code
@glyph Even ?better

Now on to a talk from Lilinoe Harbottle about surgical robotics, which seems to be converging on the related theme of 'truth is not found inside computers, but projected in from outside'. "A robot cannot be allowed to check its own homework", she explains. An auditor process that can immediately "transition the system to a safe state" is as isolated as possible.
Margaret Fero beginning their talk by raising the stakes, "Technical Skills That Can Save A Life", no pressure or anything #NBPy

Now I'm learning about the lesson that users have learned from yes/no "consent" modals is that they just always have to say "yes" or the computer will deny them critical access to functionality that they need in order to perform their desired task, complete assigned work from an employer or school, or even get life-critical medication. I'm not feeling like a feature whose perceived function is 'you have to say yes; now that you said yes it's your fault' should be referred to as 'consent' #NBPy

@glyph I just got "CivicBand is among you" and I suddenly have a fresh wave of empathy here.

@chrisjrn @glyph if you name check someone's dad, but @MaggieFero initially mishears and tags the someone, who was the name-check for???

Extremely valuable reminder about "simply" and "just": this language (along with its pals; "basically" "obviously", "of course") isn't merely stylistic noise; it sends a specific message:
"This should be easy"
or, in other words:
"If this isn't easy, it's your fault"
This is implicitly an attack on the reader.
