Can we trust #opensource when it matters?
We've been working to build confidence in #FOSS in critical settings over the last few years.
Read about our 2018 study with BMW safety expert Lukas Bulwahn, looking at a key aspect of #linux kernel behaviour:

Google wrote a style guide on writing inclusive documentation:
developers.google.com/style/β¦
It's a good doc but seems like giving up "sanity check" and "crazy" will/would be hard. I'll at least think about it a bit more when I use those terms, though.
In 2014, after being named Teacher of the Year, my supervisor told me if I said I was gay in public I would be "shot in the head."
I was told I would be fired if I did not bring her all of my private mail from home to read. (more)

Several of you have asked me for a Crust of Rust on smart pointers (Arc/Rc/Deref) and interior mutability (RefCell/Mutex/Cell) in @rustlang, and I think it's about time. Let's do a stream on Wednesday at 8:30p UTC (everytimezone.com/?t=5ee95d0β¦) as usual. Come one come all! πΊπ¦
Trans rights = human rights.
Trans rights = human rights.
Trans rights = human rights.
And one more time because some people clearly still don't get it...
Trans rights = human rights.

Iβd rather have a burgundy coloured EU passport that increases my freedoms than a blue coloured UK-only passport that restricts my freedoms. Please retweet if you agree.

Yesterday was such an amazing success. Thank you all for your support. Downside is that today's choice is somewhat limited as while we have more in the cellar it isn't ready yet! Hopefully tomorrow. One ale, plenty of ciders. Open from 5pm!

Team member: "We can't write that number here. They'll have my head for it."
Me: "You mean they'll make you comply with it and punish you if you don't turn this into a reality in the future?"
Team member: "Yes!"
Me: "Here, I'll write a disclaimer for that document. Better?"

Dear #Infosec
I've been "warned" 3x that if I keep posting that Black Lives Matter, I'm unhireable.
If I, a white, cis, straight, US-born... woman w public evidence of my work can be "unhireable" due to just saying #BlackLivesMatter, how can Black hackers even hope to be hired?
