I wouldn't mind a clearer answer on this. I have 2 academic papers in there: how likely am I to be accepted to the class action?
The Guardian broke the story about Farage's Clacton house several months ago, yet no other media bothered to follow it up. What a huge surprise! Keep sharing it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Can't help but a bit of Perplexiting has returned these pages from their websites , in case you hadn't seen them already www.salvationarmy.org.uk/about-us/int... ezitis.myzen.co.uk/brenthouse.h... and maybe www.salvationarmy.org.uk/about-us/int...
you need better signage, bottom of the window: "puck 50m further up that way and claim a free drink when you're feeling better"
you should keep goats up there, they'd lick it off
Ha,my failed PhD might finally pay off - I have 2 published papers in that list. Did Anthropics pull patents as well? I have 2 of them!

But it comes at the cost of increased complexity and infrastructure so should rarely be the starting point. For a brand new application better and safer to go monolith -> miniliths -> microservices as the application features and team grows in size
It also comes to its own when workloads are spread unevenly across the architecture and/over time, allowing scaling to be more efficiently targeted.2/
microservice is primarily a socio-technical pattern that enables multiple teams to work and deliver features quickly and safely across a large a complex application. 1/
FFS, the bullies win again when is the last time a tory or reform criminal did resign ?
it's like all tools - give them to a craft person and they'll make the best use of them, but a lay person will try to use your microcalipers as nose hair tweezers
LLM based generative AI is definitely not a calculator, it's an ✨eerinly accurate stochastic parrot✨. Input enough versions of 2+2=5 into it and that's what it will start telling you. it's not deterministic - ask the same question multiple times and you'll get (often wildly) different answers.
This is Leo. He is patiently waiting for this guy to throw the ball. Gonna be here a while. 13/10 (TT: twogoldenleos)
Unlike most pop singers, Seal has never been a fan of clubbing.

Do you have a decent zoo? a town crier? a cathedral? a storyhouse? roman artifacts? rows? river? canal? race course? market? no? then please get off my Chester, UK feed!!?

I'm going to start a petition asking for Chester, US to be renamed, as they really mess up my Chester, UK feed!!!
as in - a hat made of felt to wear in the sauna? or... - a hat demonstrating you've been felt up in the sauna? 🤔
Interesting/depressing there's no architect in there - my mandate will span A-I depending on the project / domain. And A-E usually go wrong when I or a colleague haven't been consulted
had a huge incident a few years back, discovered an ancient bug when doing a brand new deployment at slightly larger scales than usual, for a brand new flagship customer. I worked days and nights for a week. Conclusion : "the bug is so obvious I have absolutely no idea how this thing ever worked" 🤯

if public education were given the same money thrown at generative AI, everybody would actually get to learn things, as well as learning how to learn things, actual **life** skills
Defo a trap — Bucket hats are not a style one grows into....
when they built the Viaduc de Millau they treated it as a proper tourists attraction, with designated panorama and a visitors centre. Not many occasions to see proper engineering in action
they are advertising cool slip ons on TV, jump on that band wagon pronto
Today was coffee from the cafetiere, arguing with Copilot free tier to implement a predicate parser inside a power query, shandy fueled people watching by Planaterra terrace, Life of Chuck at Picture House, not trying Capoeira by the Market, final pint of actual beer, chipnD burger, Only Connect...
something like ...the heart of an evil pig in a brainless body, and elected him president?
my bad habit is to stick to the same order at roughly the same time of the day, till they start bringing it before I ask, but once in a bluemoon fancy something completely random which forces them to throw my usual in the sink... happens 2-3 times a year tops
Now that Disney owns Fox, which means they own the Alien franchise, I can't stop thinking about how the Alien Queen is now a Disney Princess/Queen.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

Here's a fact for you all. Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK. Not ONE. This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit. But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

Diping my toes in the job seeking pool - recruiters really belong on the Ark B, they are truly useless at the job. This week's example is 2 specialised recruitment agencies completely ignoring my requests for more information. Not hold out email, no acknowledgement, nothing...

excel + power query is awesome. I now regularly use it to supplement the bad UX from my SaaS providers. There's also excel + duck DB, but haven't had a chance to try it yet (haven't read this but I think it explains what I mean : medium.com/@simon.peter...)

The US extreme right has been doing this for decades, from the level of local school boards upwards. Their conception of historical knowledge is fundamentally illiberal, chauvinistic, sectarian, and profoundly wrong. But they have power, and will use it. Who will stop them?
Quote this with a book you read way too young (according to other people) that explains why you are the way you are.
