After some encouraging conversations following the TEI conference in Paderborn, I readied myself to offer consulting and training for digital humanists and librarians as a side business.
- XML for Digital Humanists (XML, XSLT, ISO Schematron, RELAX NG, TEI ODD)
- Processing and publishing library data (MARC, PICA, MODS, LIDO et al.)
- Building and maintaining XML-based workflows
- Developing custom solutions (modules) for VuFind-based discovery systems
- Salvaging DH projects that are in the danger of going awry
Feel free to get in touch!
Main #XSLT3 course likely in 2nd or 3rd week of January.
This is an intense dive into a functional, declarative, pattern-oriented language with implicit dispatch... but ignore the jargon, throw it away, burn down the rules, and emerge as an XSLT Jedi star.

Good news: The REx Parser Generator was published under the Apache 2 license.
Nota bene:
As of today, REx is a parser generator supporting different parsing algorithms, with integrated lexer construction, for various host languages, implemented in C++. But the setup, focus, and implementation of the product have changed significantly over time, since the development of this line of parsing tools originally started in 1979.

@anildash i was actually thinking, as an art project, of getting a solar panel and doing this with a collection of CC0 content. i decided not to do pursue this after seeing how things developed with OpenAI, on the grounds that if a true-open model existed, the proponents of closed/stolen models would point to my open model to go "see? AI doesn't have to be based on stolen content!" then continue using the stolen content.
Hello friends!
Could anyone help me out with a PDF of the following title:

Thanks in advance!
@wayneloche I spent 20 years with a very basic #Emacs set up, basically optimising for my dyslexia and Dupuytren's (don't like using mouse). It's only been in the last 3 years I've started using a lot of advanced stuff. But it's always amazed me how some of the very basic adjustments I made are unobtainable in other text editing software. You don't *have* to do any of the complex stuff in #Emacs and it still has a lot to offer.
I once worked at a company that sold industry-specific core-business software to deep-pocketed corps who couldn’t / wouldn’t / shouldn’t roll their own. I got into a discuss with my manager about whether our products were essentially — my words — a hoax.
Me: “Look, our products are riddled with bugs and holes. They’re nearly impossible to deploy, manage, and maintain. They frequently don’t even work •at all• on the putative release date, and we sell the mop-up as expensive ‘consulting.’”

Die sog. Rollwagen-Kalender der Staats- und Stadtbibliothek Augsburg werden derzeit im Rahmen eines Dissertationsprojekts erforscht. Leider stehen nicht alle Jahrgänge zur Verfügung.
Die Doktorandin ist dringend auf der Suche nach den Jahrgängen 1810, 1833 und 1835. Auch andere Jahrgänge sind von Interesse.
Besitzen Sie einen Rollwagen-Kalender und wären bereit, die Doktorandin Einsicht nehmen zu lassen? Wir freuen uns über eine Nachricht!
Reminder: Our department currently has an open position for a graduate assistant in computer science for the humanities.
This is an 80% position for up to 5 years. 50% are reserved for working on your PhD thesis, 50% for teaching and service.
The phrase “excellente maitrise du français; bonnes connaissances de l’anglais” should be understood as “B2 level” for both languages. Teaching and admin is in French, thesis can be in English.

Hello world!
This is a new account with the intent of spreading information and use of #plaintext
Because it is the less inexpensive, flexible, and green file format in the world and there's no task it cannot accomplish. Prove I'm wrong.
This account will publish reviews of tools, techniques, hacks, ideas and novel use cases for the old, plain, rough txt.
#Markdown included.
And #XML as well... oh wait... even #json is here???
Oh my goodness. there's the entire world living and working on the shoulders of some little and ugly text file... Let's discover it together!
Mal was anderes: Hat hier jemand bei #riseup ein Konto und kann unserem Wissenschaftskollektiv einen Einladungscode spendieren? Oder gibt es andere Ideen für institutionsunabhängige Funktionsadressen?
Wow, feels like 100 years. I put a lot of work into this document.

I am thrilled to share that I successfully defended my PhD, Linked Open Usable Data for Cultural Heritage: Perspectives on Community Practices and Semantic Interoperability, at the University of Basel yesterday! 🎉 The presentation is available here: https://julsraemy.ch/prezi/loud4ch-doctoral-examination.html.
In the coming months, the dissertation will be openly accessible both as a PDF in the university library's repository and on a dedicated website in HTML: https://phd.julsraemy.ch.
A big thank you to everyone who supported me along this journey, especially my supervisors Peter Fornaro, Walter Leimgruber, and @azaroth42

Anyone has recommendations for opportunities in "Digital Humanities" for data scientists/machine learning researchers & practitioners?

Enjoy studying Michael Lavocah's book about Carlos Di Sarli. Not just an extensive biography but full of sections dedicated to particular recordings. I find myself either reading the book and listening -or- I hear a tango piece and look it up.
Marvelous! Hearing the small details is the precursor to dancing them is what my tango teacher said.

I wonder whether institutions that recognize their errors in the context of historical fascism and consider them a “permanent warning” on “possible ideological drifts to which any person, institution or society is exposed,” should remain active on X, giving the platform legitimacy and attracting users. ⇢

As of last night, my first two books — RESPONSIVE WEB DESIGN, and RESPONSIVE DESIGN: PATTERNS AND PRINCIPLES — are available to read online, for free.
I had some emotions about it: https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/books-no-longer-apart/
