Perhaps. I like:

Because I think more than the work we do (much of which is probably work we'd rather NOT be doing), how we do it is more important. Unfortunately, the "how" just doesn't seem to be on the radar of many companies, or if it is, the question they want answered is whether I can be forced into the way they do their work. To which the answer is usually "no." Sort of limits my employment options.

I pretty much got into IT because I had a personal website on att.net, back in the late 90's. They were my ISP at the time. Then I created a personal website with a javascript tabbed portfolio of all sorts of things and got consulting jobs in 2004 because of it. By 2009 my full-time employer blocked my website with WebSense; so I eventually a retired it. It's still on the wayback machine!
As for now, I don't think a portfolio would be helpful for me, but for a new graduate, I still think it would be relevant today.

A new type of smart fabric developed at the University of Washington could pave the way for jackets that store invisible passcodes and open the door to your apartment or office. Sorry, I don't have the data for you. It's on my other shirt.

And he stole the shirt right off my back!

Why do people keep inventing "passcodes" using physical things that aren't always used, are replaced, or which can be easily lost or stolen? I suppose it prevents the "chop of the hand" trick. (Perhaps students at University of Washington don't realize that most people don't need to wear jackets most of the time.)

I don't even own a jacket.

Researchers from MIT, the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission, and Adobe Research recently presented a new system that automatically produces code optimized for sparse data. Is tensor algebra the kind of stretchy algebra you use when you sprain numbers?

Its vector algebra on steroids, the sprain is what happens to your mind when you try to comprehend it.

If you ask Andrew Kelley, the creator of Zig, he’ll tell you that “anything you can do in C you can do better in Zig.” I thought that was considered a feature?

If you can't shoot yourself in the foot, then you can't "do anything you can do in C".
Besides, when inventing toy languages, it's all fine and dandy until it actually needs to be useful and then it gets complicated very fast.

A more in-depth article about Zig here[^].
Don't know, but I think I like it: non-nullable pointers by default, better declaration syntax, slices, etc. yet simple, straightforward and low level.

Funny; that article gave me more contempt for this toy language. The article disproves the claim than it can do anything C can and seems to entirely miss the point of C. Above all, with C there is a strong correlation between the code and the assembly language produced by the compiler. Once you add automated "safety", that becomes a weak correlation. One you go down that path, why not just move to C++? If determinism isn't needed, go to C# or Java (which have kick-ass tools and where you can at least hire developers without breaking the bank.)

OK, this is a great time to discuss a MAJOR peeve of mine.
Why, for God's sake, WHY do companies register all these absurd alias domains?
I go to dell.com, I allow javascript from dell.com.
Site doesn't work. Now I have to also allow dell-some-strange-domain.org, and more and more and more. Are these sites actually dell? Or are they phishing sites? I have to do whois on each one and fine out.
Adobe.com. oh also, adobe-cdn.com. Who knows what else.
Microsoft was one of the first stupid companies to do this. It's lame. It's annoying. It decreases security for your users.
STOP DOING THIS!!!!
This Dell fiasco is a perfect example of why not to do this.... EVER.
But alas, I know I'm wasting my breath. Oh well, you can't fix stupidity.

Even microsoft stuff, like registering Visual Studio and associated components has so many domains that you have to keep adding to allow list that it is crazy. It's so annoying.

I agree.
Why didn't they just use a subdomain, like:
whatver.you.want.microsoft.com
here.is.another.microsoft.com
I don't get it. I suppose it is all based in laziness and mis-management, really.
