OK, here’s an idea I want to try. Without looking it up on the Internet anywhere, just off the top of your head, do you know who Emmy Noether is? You can look her up after answering, but don’t post the answer till the poll is over! Please boost for more numbers. #women

Yes! Cal Poly is hiring Tenure-Track this year. Assistant Prof., Computer Science & Software Engineering, here's the ad:
PL is one of the listed areas of interest (but there are a lot more than that)!
Here's a picture I took yesterday, about half a mile from my front door:
A front page article on the Washington Post telling people how to get started with Mastodon?

I realised I never did an #introduction - Hi everyone! I'm Matt Godbolt, and I love:
- low-level computer hackery & performance, learning & teaching
- compilers & tooling around compilation
- old hardware (particularly 6502-based UK computer BBC Micro)
I made video games, ran my own C++ tools company, and spent time at Google. Now landed in fintech.
I have an amazing (and tolerant of me) wife and 2 teenagish kids, 2 cats and a dog. I'm a Brit living in Chicago.
Pleased to be here!
I guess an #introduction is in order. Hi, I'm Roman, a #devops engineer and grad student at #georgiatech #omscs. I'm here for #journalism, #foss stuff, and #wildlifephotography. #lgbtq ally. Personally, I picked #hachyderm because I appreciated @nova's honesty about the tech and privacy situation.
#Mastodon guide for newcomers
1. Be Kind. This place thrives on kindness, unlike the other place
2. CW stands for content warning. If you think it might upset someone, put a content warning on it. It allows people to click through.
3. Follow, follow, follow. The more people you follow, the better the experience here.
