finished reading & highly recommend this walking memoir by @craigmod.com

if I hadn't been reading in public, i would have cried my eyes out

this semester i plan to start each course with a discussion on how students see their future role in relation to AI. for that, i'm (dispassionately) collecting reasons why a computer science education is still worthwhile. like this one: #academicsky #edusky #computerscience

after my fallout with Siddhartha, i am reluctant to return to my old favorites, but Terry Pratchett's Interesting Times did not disappoint. when i first read it at the beginning of my English journey, i probably understood only a third (if that), so i was genuinely worried :) #booksky

the third bridge over the bosphorus near the new airport is almost a decade old, but it still feels unfamiliar and off. maybe because it looks like Sauron's tower?
