Would you mind sharing any names? I don’t mind whatever ratio limits exist for new accounts, but I deeply miss finding music through staff picks and the forums

They have to offer a plotting library that’s at least half as decent as ggplot if they want people to jump ship. Gotta be able to visualize your results easily and they’ve been stuck with a half-baked interface to python plotting libraries

RIP google play music. They had the _best_ recommendations - my suggested new releases would often include a fantastic album by a band I’d never heard of. Since switching to Spotify, i get suggestions for new music by artists I already know

I think of "gatekeeping" as blocking access, especially for something that doesn't have a defined membership, like a fandom. e.g. "you're not a real star wars fan if..." whereas anyone is welcome to contribute

I’m assuming the parent comment means she didn’t see herself as invulnerable after Dr. Gebru’s firing. The quote describes their mindset before the firing in order to highlight why she found it unexpected.

Hi, I work in academia and disagree with the author’s take. My admittedly anecdotal experience doesn’t support that. The worst perception I can think of would be a (likely older) PI wondering why you’re writing blog posts instead of papers.
