On Oct. 30 at 2 PM Paris time (or 1 PM GMT) I'll be making an introduction to reproducibility and computational sciences in the series of seminars of AREN (African Reproducibility Network). If you're interested, don't hesitate to join! https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/2kUnopebSy-DcY--Jljq_g#/registration

Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: Promoting Reproducibility in the Computational Sciences: An Overview of Research Practices and Challenges. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.

This talk provides an overview of how reproducible research is implemented in computational sciences. It will clarify key concepts such as reproducibility, replicability, and repeatability within this field, and discuss the main challenges involved in producing and evaluating reproducible algorithms, as well as the best practices to address them. Finally, it will highlight several initiatives in France that aim to promote reproducibility in scientific research. These include Guix, which enables precise control of execution environments; Notebooks, which facilitate the execution of algorithms and the presentation of results; fully peer-reviewed, reproducible journals such as IPOL; Software Heritage, which ensures the perpetual archival of source code and provides reliable, intrinsic, and permanent identifiers; and MOOCs, which offer training opportunities, among others.

I've read a few articles about browser fingerprinting, this one seems fairly easy to understand while also being thorough enough with details. But the "easy to understand" bit becomes more difficult to gauge as one reads more on a topic lol.

Anyhoo, worth reading and maybe sharing with others in your circle.

The guy replies: "yes." and smiles. — someone with tons-of-apps-and-software-tools on a tray, asking "is that all you need?" to a guy next to him carrying only a small, nice box labelled "bash scripts". The guy replies: "yes." and smiles.

Microsoft is killing Windows 10 and for many countries and users, updates will stop today. It is time to look for options.

@brucelawson has a suggestion for you. IMHO there are many Linux distributions to choose between and you will need to choose the one that works best for you.

I recently switched to Linux as my primary platform myself.

My plea, however, to the Linux community is to make it easy for people to switch to Linux, but also to make it easy to switch window managers, key chains and the like.

I switched to Ubuntu myself and I am finding certain things with Gnome were a pain. Thus I tried switching to KDE, but found that broke a lot of things. IMHO we should strive to make it easy for users to switch between window managers and desktops as well as applications, without breaking things. That requires the different players to work together to ensure that switching from one desktop to another, for example, does not need to mean loosing passwords.

Locking in is one of the things Big Tech is known for. Linux should not have that, IMHO.

Just to know, what make you switch from Windows/Mac OS to Linux/BSD ?

I love the errors that I get in my CompE labs because they're always weird errors that no one else has gotten before and the TAs don't even know how to fix it 😭
