Slightly off topic but I have to ask: would you be willing to share your markdown workflow for academic writing? I am very interested in graduating from latex :)

Hey, I wanted to thank you personally, too. As far as I know, yours is the only completely open source implementation of the “shazam algorithm”, and it helped me a lot during my thesis work. The blog post was also great.

Actually, I encourage anyone interested to look up Panako[1], which is meant to be a framework for comparison of different audio fingerprinting techniques.

While I understand where you come from, this is the kind of advice I would give a friend or family if they came to me and said “hey, I am having a hard time in the industry and I think it’s because I am a minority”. Do your best, try to grow a thick skin, etc.

However, I believe you can’t possibly extend that (positive and helpful) feeling to an outside “political” statement. If our aim is to make the industry welcoming and accepting to everyone, I believe we should do more than what you describe and try to figure out a way to make it right.

It might not help minorities in tech right now, but it will eventually.

I would be willing to bet they are from Italy. I am Italian and they wrote about some stuff that you would know only if you followed Italian news.

They could be dropping some contradictory clues, BTW. I could definitely see that.
