What started as simple text editing with vim has now turned into a downward spiral of nvim configuration while knowing in the back of my mind I’ll still use vscode for my more serious tasks…

But at least the option is there!

With this new iPad update, Apple is confirming that they’re pushing the iPad to become the touchscreen MacBook, similar looking to a Microsoft Surface tablet. Mind you, the first Surface was announced almost 13 years ago. #WWDC25

One of many thought-provoking points I heard today while volunteering for the Virtual Team at #ISOJ2025.

If I could summarize what I learned today in one word it would be “context”! Context is crucial for transparency, accountability and accuracy.

We must all seek and provide context more often.
“We’ve been quite naive with disinformation in the past…We’re fighting a narrative that is here to undermine democracies and change the world as we know it.”

Laura Zommer, Factchequeado at #ISOJ2025

“What we need to be doing is more collaboration, more discussions, but also actionable things.”

I’ll be going to Circuit of The Americas on Saturday to give live updates for the Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas practice and qualifying races! 🏍️

Who are you hoping to see qualify for the race on Sunday? 👀

While #NICAR25 day 3 marks the end of my first NICAR, I hope it will not be the last! I’m incredibly grateful to have been able to hear from and meet such intelligent people. Truly, with enough grit and ambition, the only limit to what you can develop is your own creativity! #ut-mig-jam

Finished my last session for #NICAR25 day 2! I started the day by making visualizations with JavaScript, followed by running a LLM and web scraping with Python! Biggest takeaway: USE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS TO INSTALL PROJECT-SPECIFIC LIBRARIES! Your global environment will thank you. #ut-mig-jam

#NICAR25 day 1 was so much fun! I met so many other students interested in data and was introduced to various libraries for spatial mapping and PDF scraping. Learning a new Python library and figuring out how it can augment your current workflow is always so exciting! #ut-jam-mig
