I don't buy things very often, and almost never buy things I don't actually need, but after watching Unrest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unrest_(2022_film)) I decided I really wanted a mechanical stopwatch and on ebay there are TONS of mechanical stopwatches and I won an auction for one (with a very low bid) and they sent me it from Ukraine and now I have it and it works and I can hear it and I love it. #unrest#stopwatch#ukraine#analog#mechanical
@david Do they leave gifts of dead mice next to their battery box? And are they always demanding to be recharged, even though you only charged them 20 minutes ago? #RoboCats
One of the benefits of the global twitter/x outage is I finally had a good reason to stop looking at it finally. Fired up #Mastodon instead for #retrocomputing news goodness.
Thursday work day is done.
Working on AmigaOS 4 beta testing program for the upcoming A1222 system instead. Also got a new cool #Keychron#Q6 Pro #mechanical#keyboard with red switches as a Xmas present for my Mac Pro after the Mac keyboard stopped responding to inputs! I love the keyboard - feels great to type on.
» #neuroscience has become so broad & technically sophisticated that individual researchers can no longer fully understand the technical foundations of their experiments.
@teixi This is an important read! And you have to give it to the author for walking the walk.
(Openephys’ Voigt). How can we make services accessible for the community? It is, as he notes, mostly tied to industry products.
Also this;
“Putting the reluctance of individual scientists aside, adopting a culture of expertise will also require some shifts in the field. The current funding and publishing system punishes specialization and undervalues technical expertise. For example, most published papers have one (or at best a few) first and last authors. As long as we hang on to the idea of singular intellectual ownership as the main currency in neuroscience, people are incentivized to shoulder as much of their own project as they can rather than spending significant time helping someone else’s. A more granular means for giving credit and attribution — one that acknowledges that neuroscience is a team sport — would improve scientific progress.”
