Dr. Anna Latour

I really enjoyed @Felienne's narrative about narratives about Computer Science yesterday. She applied some of the ideas presented in the Glaciers, Gender and Science paper (journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/1) to her experiences in the Computer Science / Programming Languages communities. She's also starting a reading club to brainstorm the meaning (and the name?) of the field of "Computer Science".

Felienne presents a slide in which a cartoon version of herself says "'Programming language' is a social construct", and presents a timeline where the 1960s are labelled with two quotes: "Programming requires patience and eye for detail ..." and "Women are naturals at computer programming".
Felienne presents her title slide: A narrative about narratives about Computer Science. She drew cute cartoons of her and her collaborator.
Felienne presents a slide with a cartoon picture of herself, with a thought bubble that visualises the bias that "hard = value" and "easy != value" through the metaphor of the fact that we know more about remote glaciers high up in mountains than about glaciers that are right next to where people live.

We have sacrificed lateral thinking in the name of production, efficiency, and profit. Now, for the very same reasons, we’re trying to teach it to machines.
The paradox of AI is, in fact, our own.
Here’s a short article that, moving between past and future, invites us to reflect on our present.

A computer or a motorbike, it’s a question to ponder,
Whatever I choose, it will require me to wander,
I could hitch hike down, to the big smoke yonder,
Although in the end, I bought a local Honda.

“16 year old Scott hitch hiked from Swindon to London with £100 in his pocket”

Happy birthday, Director! The first operating system in the world turns 70 today
Seventy years ago, the foundation of modern computing was laid with the development of Director, the first operating system. On March 8, 1955, its launch marked a turning point in computer science, shaping the evolution of future operating systems like Windows, and the various Linux distributions.

Ok, someone more familiar with graph theory tell me how to compute a minimum weight perfect matching on a complete graph with even-number of vertices? Or at least point me to a resource?

It's all either left as an exercise to the reader, extremely complex algorithms (Blossom or something?), or weird libraries, where apparently if I use it on complex graphs it's not necessary, but they then point me to even more complex papers.

Thought I had it solved but now it's returning a matching that's too small.
