  1. “Have nothing … that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” —Wm Morris

    A huge influence on the Arts and Crafts movement, William Morris revived block printing and vegetable dyeing. He set up looms for weaving tapestry and hand-knotting carpets in his home. His designs were also translated into stained glass. He was a knowledgeable textile historian, and fascinated by medieval history and medieval architecture.

    Morris was the most successful textile designer and manufacturer of his day, with two London shops selling silk, cotton, and gauze. He designed and decorated parts of what’s now the Victoria & Albert. This museum has 1,100 objects connected to Morris—mainly textile and wallpaper, in various colours and scales, for interior decorating. Copyright on his repeating patterns of vegetation, flowers, and birds, recently expired, which fuelled a revival of these textile designs.

  3. Researchers have developed high-performance, lead-free #piezoelectric thin films composed of manganese-doped bismuth ferrite grown directly on standard silicon wafers. These films are capable of converting everyday mechanical vibrations into electrical energy with unprecedented efficiency.

  5. #Applied #cryptography cannot solve a #security problem. It can only convert a security problem into a key-management problem.

    Corollary: If you aren’t actually solving the key-management problem, your cryptography is strictly decorative. This is not only not helpful, it is actively harmful, because it gives users a false sense of security, leading them to skip other precautions they would have otherwise taken.

  10. #GoodEnoughTesting #Applied #TestCase #Design

    I like to apply when possible the test design techniques on real code. Here I reviewed a bit of code from the open source Rails app from @zammadhq and applied a systematic process to extract test cases:

  12. There is a divide between #theoretical and #applied #econometrics

    "…perhaps a fair characterization is that applied work has improved over time, but it has also become much more homogeneous.
    Instead, the applied toolbox ought to be growing exponentially, yet the opposite is occurring. As I said in the prior post, this is bad, bad science."

  14. Don’t miss the start of our fall workshop series in research methods for #applied #linguistics. We kick things off with a session on #theory and #practice in #interview research. More here: sites.psu.edu/researchmethods/

  15. Coming as soon as 2025, a four-pack of single-use gel "Eroxon" to treat erectile dysfunction. Currently under eight dollars a dose (>$32 U.S.), the four pack will probably be eighty by the time it's available in the U.S.

  16. Looking for education pathways between #college and #university in Ontario is not easy, even between programs of seemingly similiar dsiciplines.
    There can be big gaps in #applied vs #theory.

  18. Just recalled a moment from over a decade ago when it hit me that whoever had invented the pressure cooker must have known (or had an intuition) about the PV=nRT equation from chemistry.

    Now I had heard that #cooking is just #applied #chemistry but this one was a bit too much for me at that time. I was just learning the equation in class and was annoyed about the weird problems I had to solve using the equation. Now it suddenly shows up in cooking? Nope.

    I seemed to have grown up/matured a little, because I regularly use the fact that microwaves actually heat up water molecules and not food per se. I've generally been better than my parents at heating up or even cooking stuff in the #microwave because I understood what I think of as the water principle. It is now easy for me to ensure that reheated food comes out as soft as it should be instead of being hard chunks, especially refrigerated stuff.

  19. Very happy to take on a new role in the Department of Economics

  21. Two objections to autonomous weapons systems:
    1. Anti-codifiability argument (that robots can't make moral decisions)
    2. Lacking the right-kind-of reasons argument (even if robots could make moral decisions, they could not do so for the "right reasons")

    See why Erich Riesen rejects both of those arguments in this 10-minute video: youtube.com/watch?v=3XGmRtYv8C

  24. Hello, I'm happy to be here! I am an #applied #anthropologist (works in industry not academia) whose #research focuses on #people and #automation, with a focus towards cooperation. My #work is at posr.org
    It's nice to meet all of you. #introduction #introductions #AI #ML #UX
