A competing research team in France almost cracked the same problem - but their funding agency said Un Oeuf is Un Oeuf.
"Buncha fuckin' nerds, don't they know I got an MBA from Hahvad?"
From the inside, RTO feels more like a way to reclaim leverage from highly paid technical employees who have become too uppity. Summoning us back to the office is about putting us in our place - but in the social…
Most of my consulting clients do barely any work on Fridays anyway and so wouldn't mind me reducing to 4 days at all.
When it comes time to write Python 4, please just let these guys handle it.
Any article which seeks to explore the problems of northern England and doesn't mention the weather is fundamentally incomplete. I've lived in every part of England, but being in the north west for the last decade has…
I have observed a strange/alarming behaviour when I carry a notebook - because friends and family don't typically have one, they find it intriguing and so will sometimes absentmindedly snoop through what I've written if…
I have a solid sheet of grey clouds over my head for what feels like 300 days of the year - would happily take some of that variability!
Education comes in many forms. School taught me about long division and the battle of Hastings, but weekends away with my family taught me about societal norms. We hear lots of complaints these days about how…
> That means your manager has to be switched on and fully on board. Your manager also needs enough political capital to drive the promotion. This is something I have an acute awareness of, having been told for the last…
Fujitsu seems to be weirdly stubborn about global commercialisation of their CPUs. I know of at least a couple of HPC customers who wanted to build systems based on A64FX and the answer was basically "...nah we're good".
> I woudn't work on it though. That's fair enough, but would you at least contribute to the development?
Cal Newport beat you to #3
The problem is that so many people being paid for 5x8 are actually working 5x9 or 5x10. At least for myself, I was raised with the notion that working harder would be recognised and eventually rewarded. That has not…
Amazon culture was on a downward trajectory for a while before this, but the decay really accelerated in 2022 and has only gotten worse. No amount of face-to-face contact will fix it, as there are now too few people…
Someone paid a Cornish builder to work on their patio, this is how far he got. I'm sure he'll finish it dreckly.
With the greatest of compassion and respect: America - get a fucking hold of yourselves, would you please?
> Maybe it is naive but I think search would probably work again if they could roll back code to 10 or 15 years ago and just make search engines look for text in webpages. Even more naive, but my personal preference:…
Don't worry, UK Met Office are currently shitting the bed on a migration from on-prem HPC to Azure (3+ years late at this point I believe?) so the competition isn't exactly hot.
OK, to be more accurate when I say "documentation" I really mean "widespread online messaging about Nix". At least everywhere I've looked, existing Nix users advocate for starting with flakes now on the basis that it…
Also, the demo site is running on Vercel and the docs are written in LaTeX.
Amazon used to pride itself on behaving like a (very big) startup, trying to be scrappy and focused - but now it has very definitely joined the league of ordinary corporations.
Take that, Jassy.
Doesn't even take that much. Today I did some basic Terraform with the help of GenAI - it can certainly print out the fundamentals (VPC, subnets) faster than I can type them myself, but the wheels came off quickly. It…
I was just about to try it, but the idea of allowing Firefox access to my audio/video to talk to a machine-generated person gave me such a bad feeling, I couldn't go through with it even fuelled by my morbid curiosity.
