Watch Your Language! - What my Mother Taught Me about Being an Engineer.Neal Richardson Sr
Software Engineers use programming languages to build something awesome. When I was a kid I did the same thing with Legos. In a way Lego builds and Software builds can be very similar. They have to be well designed, kept clean, and maintained in order to stay functional over the years.
Although the original 8-stud Lego brick is still fully compatible with the latest NXT 3.0 robotics kit over 50 years later, the languages we program in today are not the same languages our parents, supervisors, or teachers used coming out of college. If the language you have been programming in was deprecated overnight, what would happen? This presentation will cover what I have learned about languages over 30 years, and specifically the changes I have seen in programming languages at home, school, and work. Starting from copying a game out of 3-2-1-Contact Magazine in BASIC in 1991 to hacking Quake 3 in C++ in the computer labs at Missouri State, to replacing a COBOL project two years ago that was written before I was born on punch-cards, to co-writing a Chef cookbook at 3am via Lync while drinking Monster Energy.
Find out why some languages behave the way they do. Learn why business don't just pack up their expensive IDEs and go open source overnight. See some esoteric languages that will make CCL look like Python! And hopefully leave with a better appreciation of what your tools are doing for you now that just weren't available when this industry started over 50 years ago.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

during the five weeks of 2012
MachinEVO, a workshop for video
productions of language learning
conversations in Second Life.
http://machinevo.ning.com/
5
6. Week 1: Trailer.
• “A film of Second Life (SL) is called a
machinima and it is derived from a
combination of machine and cinema.
Essentially it means recording the screen of
the application Second Life. Creating a
machinima does not mean just to record one’s
screen”. (MachinEVO trailer, 2012).
6
8. Week 1: our group
• Professional interest in finding out more
about the use of machinimas in language
teaching.
• Focus on creating a film to be used in real life
practice.
8
10. Week 2: Video Production.
• The creation of machinimas “includes the
basic skills of film productions such as camera
angles, audio and the appropriate tools to do
the recordings. And we will look at designing
videos and determining a digital storyline.”
(MachinEVO, 2012).
10
11. If your GROUP
is scattered around the globe
• Work on your group IDENTITY
• Find out WHO prefers to do WHAT
• Decide HOW to COMMUNICATE: group e-
mail, Google doc, Wiki, SL or Skype Live
meetings, dropbox
11
19. LOCATIONS
• FIND Locations
• ASK PERMISSIONS ASAP
• When on location take SNAPSHOTS to BEST
define CAMERA ANGLES
• PREPARE SET DECORATIONS
19
20. Week 3: Content creation and
roleplay.
“During this week we learn the poesie and
humour of emoting used in roleplay, how to use
gestures and animations and how to provide the
backdrop with culturally rich environment so as
to enrich the video production”.
(MachinEVo, 2012).
