O encontro de engenharia, pesquisa e software
Published on September 12, 2018.
Hoje eu falei sobre Research Software Engineer na Universidade Federal do Ceará.
Resumo
No mercado de trabalho atual, indivíduos com experiência em engenharia, pesquisa e software são bastante valiosos mas nem sempre formalmente valorisados. Essa palestra irá cobrir a ascensão da carreira em Research Software Engineers nos últimos anos que iniciou-se no Reino Unido e em menos de 5 anos expandiu-se para Estados Unidos, Canadá, Alemanha, Holanda, Africa do Sul, Nova Zelandia e Brasil. Research Software Engineers foi o tema de uma conferência na Universidade de Birmingham, Reino Unido nos dias 3 e 4 de Setembro de 2018 que contou mais de 300 participantes.

At the end of August, I visit Chapada dos Veadeiros in Brazil and did the Sete Quedas walk.
Drive
We left Brasília around 5:30am and didn’t encounter any traffic on our way. We were also blessed with a great sun rise.
The journey from Brasília until Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park was around 3 hous long. And the landscape is amazing.

From 23 July until 23 September, Manchester is the home of more than 100 giant bees, like the one that open this blog post, as part of Bee in the City project.
I saw a few in the city center last month but only yesterday I noticed the one that is in front of my working place.
It is called The Love Bee and was created by Nisha Grover.

Last weekend, I visited Forres.
Forres won many UK and Scottish awards due the beautiful gardens. And I wanted the share photos of the one that I crossed.
EuroPython 2018: A Jupyter Enhancement Proposals
Published on July 28, 2018.
On 25 July, I attended EuroPython, a fantastic conference related with Python, to talk about Jupyter and the enhancement proposal that I submited last year. The original plan was to present with my friend Tania Sanchez Monroy but she had to cancel in the last minute. [My slides are available]({% link pdfs/EuroPython2018.pdf %}) and my notes are below.
In early 2017, I was invited by Alexander Konovalov to attend Computational Mathematics with Jupyter at International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS) in Edinburgh. During the event, Alexander Konovalov, Michael Croucher, Tania Allard and I talked about how we write lessons with Jupyter so far. I contributed to Software Carpentry lessons back in 2014 when they still used Jupyter notebooks, IPython notebook at that time, for the Python lesson. Alexander Konovalov wrote GAP lessons for Software Carpentry and was interested to develop the lessons in Jupyter notebooks. Michael Croucher and Tania Allard were working at the University of Sheffield with some professors to build courses in Jupyter notebooks and were interested to have a better presentation for the lessons being develop. The cell strucuture of Jupyter notebook imposes a limitation that we could have executed code inside call out boxes but authors were OK with it. During that week, Tania worked on some prototypes to convert Jupyter notebooks Markdown files that Jekyll could use to build a beautiful website.
