Indiana University is hiring a Research Data Software Engineer.
$65,000–$75,000/yr; eligible for remote work. This is a two-year position, but word is they hope to convert it to a permanent position at the end of that period.
they CLAIM there is a gengar in these pokémon fruit snacks but i haven’t seen one
ok well, if you print out a JPEG of a page of text, surely that is still an image then?
you can get out of this one real easily with <doi:10.4242/BalisageVol5.Renear01>, if you¦re a coward
is a statistic a document?

My Wii Pointer cursor set is finally finished. It replaces all the default windows mouse cursors with nice and crisp renders of the Wii Pointer hand. And I've thrown in some extra icons too so that every cursor type is updated!! (despite the alt. cursor barely ever being used in Windows >.<)
I'm also releasing the vector image files that I made during the creation of this cursor, as I know a few people wanted high quality versions of the Wii Pointer hand ^^ 
Downloads and a bit of a longer writeup here:

@alyssa these are both very subjective opinions ofc tho
@alyssa for (1), i’m not sure that i would particularly care to break up things beyond a word level, or try to make the gloss match the order of the morphemes in any particular way. i’d probably just put the meaning of the word first, and then add affixes based on “importance” or “closeness” to the root, with the understanding that people interested in sub‐word analysis would probably need to read up on morphology a little bit
@alyssa i think regarding (2) the guidance is to make a determination as to the lexical/grammatical divide, like…
if you think that the derived stems are *grammatical* derivations, i·e that they represent the same word but with different grammatical properties, then you would just gloss the root and add suffixes for the new properties (agent, instrument, diminutive, etc.)
if the derived stems are *lexical* derivations (they produce new words), then generally i think you would gloss the whole derived stem rather than breaking it out, because while the root might be of etymological interest, it could just as well be misleading from a glossing perspective
@alyssa i’d probably gloss himidkʰí as “m-d-kʰ.DIM” or “[language].DIM”; is that kind of what you are asking?
@aschmitz oh definitely, but i think that problem is manageable so long as you have a plurality of sources
i’m less worried about the “we can’t run this article or someone will get mad” and more worried about the “we HAVE to run this article, and spin it this way, because it’s a cash cow for us”. if we can solve the second problem, i’m hopeful the first can be addressed thru diversity
@aschmitz yeah i toyed briefly with the idea of library-run journalism but we already make our libraries do too much haha
@aschmitz i feel like we don’t have that right now, so basically every journalist in the industry right now (who is able to survive in that industry) is someone who is okay playing loose with ethics to some extent when the scoop demands
@aschmitz the big question for me tho is the existential question: can this organization make ethical decisions without it threatening their ability to continue to exist? and most organizations today, the answer is no, because they have to at some level serve the needs of profitability. i want journalistic organizations which can make compromises on their missions and purposes when ethics demands, without that threatening their ability to show up for work the next day
@aschmitz yes, i mean, this is in part an argument along the lines of advocating for state-run media, although i don’t think anyone has figured out how to do stare-run media well yet
NPR in principle i love but in practice has to try way too hard to appear “impartial”, and their coverage has really suffered as a result. i’d rather have partisan media from an organization whose values were clearly stated, so that i could make my own evaluation on whether they were a reliable source for any given topic.
@aschmitz i have a small amount of respect for 404, but their primary job is still to sell copy
the only journalism i would wholly trust would be journalism that operated as an arm of a different, mission-driven, organization that i also trusted, with the understanding that the journalism was an expense in pursuit of that mission, not a revenue source
or volunteer, citizen journalism. i still think citizen journalism is important
honestly in 2024 i don’t trust anything that doesn’t operate at a loss
