I am already quite familiar with the #Fediverse but since it is the first time I create an account using my real name I should probably make a (not-so-)short #introduction.
After my postgraduate studies in #history and #archaeology, I went traveling around the world for a while, before going back to my love for languages and graduating in #translation.
I am now a freelance translator of English and Italian to French specialising in #humanities, #education and #IT. 1/2
Some folks are setting up the infrastructure to grow and utilize living neurons with the ultimate aim of creating a living, synthetic-biological "brain" capable of learning over time, with the ultimate goal of being able to play Doom.
The age-old question of "Can it run Doom?" is now extendable to biology too!
Hello all, I'm a #technologist in #NorthCarolina. I am #retired from a career in #IT but, I still do some side work from time-to-time. I have always been a huge fan of #FOSS and run several #Linux machines including my #HomeLab media server running #Unraid. I prefer my TVs dumb with a #SBC attached running #kodi.
Celebrate the #IT heroes around the world that keep networks secure and running smoothly, doing great work at their job so that you can do yours. 💪 👨💻 🏆
A vexing habit of #IT practice book authors (the non-academic types) who dabble in #FP is their propensity to invent their own seemingly "intuitive" terms for long-established concepts of #mathematics: monoid, functor, applicative, monad, category, ....
Good analogies are acceptable in instruction, and incisive examples more so. But usurping existing, general mathematical concepts by anointing them with one's own concocted lay terms is uncomely. Such conduct pollutes the namespace.
The reason why a mathematical term seems aloof is because its inventor (a bona fide mathematician) struggled, long and hard, to abstract out a fundamental, general concept from many specific instances.
The least we should do is to study the general principle the mathematician worked hard to uncover. Trying to displace that established, general principle with dumbed-down, specialised, lay terms is just rolling back progress.
For any #IT professionals in #Maryland interested in continuing education resources, you can sign up for a free library card from #EnochPratt and use it to access #Udemy Enterprise courses via their partnership with Gale, all free for Maryland residents
Note: Gale does seem to perform a degree of IP verification to make sure you're connecting from within Maryland, so bear that in mind if you regularly use a VPN. Those outside of Maryland should check to see if libraries in their own state have similar partnership

Let’s do things differently this time. So differently. My name is Jennifer, but I only learned this was my name this year. And I'm not the only one. I accepted that I am a 46 year old #Trans woman working in #IT just this year. And I'm not the only one. I started hormone replacement therapy this July. And I'm not the only one. I'm coming out a little at a time, during a really dangerous time for #LGBTQ+ people - and I'm not the only one.
Hello again netizens.
If you haven't seen my earlier posts, My name is Blue. Nice to meet you. I am a #transfemme#nonbinary woman in #IT and currently, me and my family are at risk of losing our healthcare. We are trying to flee the state, but money is extremely tight and our resources are very slim. If you or anyone you know might be able to help a family in need move states or otherwise assist in any way, I would be deeply grateful. I have almost a decade of experience in IT and several certifications, so I can try and pay back any kindness however I can. Please boost if you can. If you would like to reach out, my DMs are open and I'm happy to share other socials to discuss things off masto. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope
I feel I should make an #Introduction now that I've moved to sdf from fosstodon. Retired now but worked in a number of countries in Africa and the Americas. Started as civil engineer but after MA in #Linguistics went on to teach #ESOL and also worked in #IT as a kind of jack of all trades... I'm also a relatively new (1 year +/1) #SteamDeck devotee 😃

Meiner Meinung nach wird in der Open-Source Szene die IT-Sicherheit nicht versprochen, sondern meistens rasch umgesetzt und frei verteilt. Auch wenn das hier nun anders ist.
