Does anyone have a good sourdough bagel recipe they're happy to share?

I have only made the sourdough version once, adjusting my instant yeast recipe, and it wasn't as stellar as I'd like.

@hongminhee I had engaged with the thread you link to on a very superficial level, only regarding the poetry and cultural nuance that is missed (and I think I must have logged off before it was finished). I appreciate the time and care you've taken to make the case for the equity and access problems that machine translation might ammend. You're right, of course. If LLMs stick around (and don't bring about a world-ending situation), I hope their use is focused on extending access and increasing cross-cultural and cross-language information exchange. Whether they can reverse the flow of information so that it's not just English-->others, relies on us Anglophones doing a better job than we're doing right now at making space for the rest of the world. It is absolutely a bias and equity issue that I "got to" think about it so superficially in the first place.

My partner is looking for work. I'd appreciate boosts.

He's looking to move into #appsec, but will accept short #webdev or #devops contracts (<12 months). Location: Melbourne Australia, or remote. For a short enough contract he'd go anywhere though.

He's a senior full stack web dev (Linux/python/django/js/elm, ~12 years).

Experienced in dev ops, dev sec ops and automation (ansible, selenium, etc etc).

He has experience with OWASP ZAP, bandit and Snyk, and is part way through the PortSwigger academy.

FOSS contributions include writing a django authentication function for OWASP ZAP, making a wrapper to improve accessibility and usability for selenium (Elemental), and other bits and bobs.

He isn't on any socials, but if you want to get in touch I can share his email or signal ID (or give him yours).

He and I have been the security people for little apps without any dedicated security team, for the last decade or so. If you're in security you might have met him (or me) at conferences (Disobey, BSides, CCC, Defcon and Ruxmon), because we've been attending since we launched our own app in 2014, picking up everything we can to protect our users.

(Yep, he is aware a move to security from senior dev roles will be a step down in seniority and $. He just really likes security.)

"Consider the use of the word “female” in these posts. It is not a neutral term here, it is a term of abuse. It’s used by teenage boys to degrade us and equate us to animals. Boys are never described as “males”, but girls are always “females” – the equivalent of sows or calves, creatures that are less than human."

^ That's not the major lesson in the post, but it goes to some confusion I've come across among my peers who are dudes, about why "female" is a problem adjective.
