[Event: WiDS 2024 Call for Proposals] The Women in Data Science (WiDS) Puget Sound 2024 conference invites women researchers, professionals, and experts to submit abstracts for presentations related to data science, machine learning, AI, and related technical and career-focused subjects. Submissions are open from November 13, 2023, to January 17, 2024, with the conference scheduled for May 14, 2024, at Seattle University. The selection process will be double-blind and will not accept product pitches.
[Blog Post: Cold-Blooded Software] Patrick Dubroy uses an analogy between cold-blooded animals and software projects to discuss project management. It contrasts "warm-blooded" software projects that require constant activity and updates with "cold-blooded" projects that can survive long periods of inactivity, similar to a painted turtle surviving being frozen, using the author's own blog software as an example of the latter approach.
