startrek

<p>I like Tig Notaro&#x27;s character in <a href="/tags/startrek/" rel="tag">#StarTrek</a> Academy. I don&#x27;t care that the way the academy works doesn&#x27;t make sense. She&#x27;s fantastic.</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p><p>I feel like a re-introduction is long overdue!</p><p>My name is Anna, and I&#x27;m an assistant professor of Algorithmics at the Delft University of Technology, specialising in combinatorial optimisation, symbolic AI, constraint programming, propositional model counting, operations research and reasoning under uncertainty.</p><p>I&#x27;m a nerd, a feminist and a traveller, not always in that order.</p><p>In my spare time I like to hike and go geocaching. I try to go swing dancing a few times a week. I am a Trekkie. I want to learn how to draw. I am an Indomie and Obsidian enthusiast. Based in the Netherlands, I miss Belgium, Canada and Singapore.</p><p>Since a job in academia somehow always is personal, I have chosen to mix professional interactions with the more personal ones on this platform. At least for now. Obviously, my opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer yadiyadiyada.</p><p>Hope to keep interacting with you all!</p><p><a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#Introduction</a> <a href="/tags/academicmastodon/" rel="tag">#AcademicMastodon</a> <a href="/tags/algorithmics/" rel="tag">#Algorithmics</a> <a href="/tags/symbolicai/" rel="tag">#SymbolicAI</a> <a href="/tags/combinatorialoptimisation/" rel="tag">#CombinatorialOptimisation</a> <a href="/tags/constraintprogramming/" rel="tag">#ConstraintProgramming</a> <a href="/tags/modelcounting/" rel="tag">#ModelCounting</a> <a href="/tags/operationsresearch/" rel="tag">#OperationsResearch</a> <a href="/tags/probabilisticinference/" rel="tag">#ProbabilisticInference</a> <a href="/tags/geocaching/" rel="tag">#Geocaching</a> <a href="/tags/lindyhop/" rel="tag">#LindyHop</a> <a href="/tags/jazz/" rel="tag">#Jazz</a> <a href="/tags/swingdancing/" rel="tag">#SwingDancing</a> <a href="/tags/hiking/" rel="tag">#Hiking</a> <a href="/tags/obsidian/" rel="tag">#Obsidian</a> <a href="/tags/startrek/" rel="tag">#StarTrek</a> <a href="/tags/travel/" rel="tag">#Travel</a> <a href="/tags/tudelft/" rel="tag">#TUDelft</a> <a href="/tags/mastomigoreng/" rel="tag">#MastoMiGoreng</a> <a href="/tags/indomie/" rel="tag">#Indomie</a> <a href="/tags/gnuterrypratchett/" rel="tag">#GNUTerryPratchett</a> <a href="/tags/catstodon/" rel="tag">#Catstodon</a> <a href="/tags/mastocats/" rel="tag">#Mastocats</a> <a href="/tags/caturday/" rel="tag">#Caturday</a> <a href="/tags/expatlife/" rel="tag">#ExpatLife</a> <a href="/tags/makanapatoda/" rel="tag">#MakanApaToda</a></p>

<p>In the Starfleet Technical Manual, there is a throwaway detail of the LCARS user interface that when it is upgraded, users can still utilize the previous several versions. This is because their work is mission-critical and it is unacceptable to compromise the mission by forcing unfamiliar changes; eventual retraining is part of their job, but the flexibility allows them to take the retraining at their own pace.</p><p>I think about this from time-to-time and how this is still a sci-fi idea that is seen all too rarely in how we do actual computer UIs.</p><p><a href="/tags/startrek/" rel="tag">#StarTrek</a> <a href="/tags/lcars/" rel="tag">#LCARS</a> <a href="/tags/ui/" rel="tag">#UI</a></p>
