I spent last week in Germany, at a Dagstuhl seminar about artifact sharing and open science in software engineering research. It was a great seminar, and I left with a lot of new ideas and nascent projects. Wunderbar! www.dagstuhl.de/26381

Scoop: For nearly a year, NSF has struggled to make new grants. Now we know that it will not catch up. In fact, NSF will award just 6,100 new grants—a 30% y/o/y decline, itself down from a previous avg. of 11,000+. In fact, the last time NSF awarded so few grants was in the early '80s.

Today is the day on which Ray Bradbury's “There Will Come Soft Rains” (pub'd 1950) takes place. It’s a short elegaic story about a smart home slowly dying after its owners are wiped out in a nuclear extinction event. Re-reading it now, I’m feeling softly sucker-punched by what it has to offer us.

Panels two, three and four: sitting serenely crosslegged on successively lower clifftops we see the Assistant Wise One of the Mountain, The Post-Doc Research Fellow of the Mountain and a group of PhD Students of the Mountain
