J. J. Thomson, who was born #OTD in 1856, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906 for his discovery of the electron, the first subatomic particle to be found.
Thomson was also a teacher, and seven of his students went on to win Nobel Prizes: Ernest Rutherford, Lawrence Bragg, Charles Barkla, Francis Aston, Charles Thomson Rees Wilson, Owen Richardson and Edward Victor Appleton.

A great paper on the effects of RTO mandates. In news that will surprise no one with half a brain:
- You disproportionately lose women.
- You disproportionately lose your best people.
- You find it hard to replace the good people that you lose.
For a long time, companies were excited about offshoring because it meant that they could take advantage of a global labour force to increase supply and drive down labour costs. Now they’re starting to see the flip side: with a lot of places offering remote work, the demand is also global and they are competing with companies worldwide. If you don’t offer a good work-life balance for your best people, someone else will and they may be anywhere in the world.
After running a successful research project at Microsoft with a team spanning several thousand miles between the furthest members, I was quite surprised to be told that we all needed to come back into the lab because research requires people to be face to face. Especially by people who had spent two years doing nothing to promote collaboration and who were pushing policies that would exclude my close collaborators in other countries.
At SCI, we’re remote first. My most recent hire is on a boat in the South Pacific. As long as people can communicate and have a decent Internet connection, I don’t care where they are (the accountants may, for tax purposes). You need to actively build teams when people are remote, just as when they’re local. Mostly of the people who felt RTO was important were the ones who weren’t doing this in either setting and were relying on similarity biases to create teams (I’d love to see a correlation between managers who advocate RTO and managers who have a higher turnover for folks who are not white cishet males: I suspect it would be strong).

#StroongeCast E54: Growing In Confidence youtu.be/SxtSbkEABzc
In this episode we talk about the fact that it's our one-year anniversary of the podcast, how we think it's gone so far, some of the things we may cover in the future, and how Kirsten has grown in confidence over the last year.
There was a time when she'd have refused to be on mic at all, but doing this weekly has made it easier for her to talk to you.
We also touch on the audio quality of some of our favourite podcasts and how some of them unfortunately fall flat, which is surprising, given the budget that some have access to.
Lastly, a new, personalised birthday greeting should you want it. We're starting up a short audio segment called 'Stroonge Cards' which is a personalised greeting from your friends over at StroongeCast that sounds similar to the podcast.
If you'd like such a greeting yourself, please get in-touch to tell us when your special day is, so we can record it for you.
This of course doesn't go out on the podcast itself, it will be sent to you directly.

(common): Properly call DLL handle termination after switching away from either synthesizer. Previously you would fry your NVDA by switching from one to the other, as they both leave traces for one another if doing consecutive initializations. This was a problem of the past, no longer, we take care of it in both drivers for you.
- Eloquence 4.7: Updated it from the 4.2 driver to also have the bgPlay function accept onDone, attempt multiple tries to feed audio, and use a lock to ensure thread-safe access to player.feed(). While this does not solve issues with Wasapi, it (slightly) improves it while keeping things more thread-safe for the older-style single callback.
