- Time-respecting path problem: getting by train to Düsseldorf. Your first train is cancelled. Should you wait for a direct connection (to be cancelled with probability p) or pick a route with many hops (p again per hop, but increasing number of alternatives). There must be a DAG for this #NetSci2025

- Hi dagshop.xyz participants: the entrance is through Grote Gracht 90 (no-one knew this until a few minutes ago). We are on the ground floor left from the entrance (there is no sign) @netsci2025

- Something got broken in my coding setup (several things were deprecated) and I had to ask ChatGPT for help. I complained to it that I feel old, and got this as the answer: "That’s not 'old' — that’s veteran-level :-)" This will be my new motto I think.
- In other news, here is some new music with me producing and playing bass: music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

- How to choose a research question? Choosing which problems to work on is perhaps the hardest and most crucial part of science. It is also an invisible and underrated part.
- We're organizing a NetSci'25 satellite workshop on Directed Acyclic Graphs — if you're working on, e.g., citation graphs, pedigrees, causality, temporal-network event graphs, network representations of spacetime, or any other areas where DAGs play a role, please contribute! www.dagshop.xyz

- My LaTeX compiler duly and understandably complained about the \textbff{} command I entered, and now I am wondering whether I've accidentally invented some new term for computational social scientists working on smartphone ego-nets

- Haluaisin vaihtaa sen neropatin kanssa pari sanaa, jonka mielestä on hyvä idea, että yliopiston Outlook-sähköpostijärjestelmä herjaa koko ajan huutomerkillä ja punaisella, että lähettäjä/vastaanottaja on organisaatiosi ulkopuolelta. Jotain on tässä ymmärretty pahasti väärin.

- When I open my next postdoc call, I will attach these photos of April weather in Finland. Limits the pool of applicants to extremely motivated people. Or insane people, come to think of it…

- Whaat, (at least some) OpenReview conference reviews now require a title (!) for the review and a brief summary, and then the review itself. Having to come up with titles is a bit much... Here is my complete set of alternatives: "Great paper", "This is crap", "ChatGPT generated this title"
