carlosgr_nlp @zehavoc @soldni @ani_nenkova Oh, come on, that's sad. Then, every other journal website in every other field: "We only publish elite, top-tier, groundbreaking, seminal papers" - and they proceed to publish several hundred papers a year. The level of low self-esteem and inferiority complex in NLP is absurd.

annastayshaa My 8yo in the car today: "Do you want me to throw the confetti in my pocket?"
Me: "No not in the car! - why do you have confetti in your pocket?"
8yo: "It's my emergency confetti, I carry it everywhere in case there is good news."
EhudReiter Talking to student (not at Aberdeen)
Me: You're excited by end-to-end neural techniques, but unlikely to work in your (health-related) domain; major safety issues and limited training data
Student: But this is the only thing ACL/EMNLP/etc will accept, and I need to publish!
doingitwrong This post from a discussion forum has been rattling around my head for a few days. A discussion about how to navigate the stormy seas of disinformation and ideological bubbles.

geruchtekellner @personaldebatte War mal mit meinen Eltern und deren erweitertem Freundeskreis wandern. Viele ältere Leute. Mit dabei waren zwei Personen, die sich vor gut 30 Jahren hatten scheiden lassen, seitdem null Kontakt. Sie zu ihm: "Entschuldigung, waren Sie nicht mal mit mir verheiratet?"
"We have accomplished a lot of damage."

At one point I couldn't remember why I had switched from oh-my-zsh to prezto. Luckily I've found a new reason to stick with prezto: prettier default for agnoster prompt venv segment.

And so we talked through the necessity of the exam, and the doc asked her permission, and gained it.
But she was 8, and had enforced her boundaries around touch with a man in authority. I was proud.

vaspider And when I knew the lesson had gotten through was at a check up when the doctor was touching her belly and she said "pink elephants! That's too ticklish, I don't like it!"
Once I explained, the doctor laughed, and said "oh wow, did you give your kid a safe word?"
Yes! I did!

jabjibber The first article, Built to Last by Mar Hicks is superb. It's about COBOL, an ancient but still-useful programming language so derided in the industry that I never considered learning it til now. But it also torpedoes the linked logics of Silicon Valley & austerity. Check it out twitter.com/logic_magazine…
