Yes I think I used vpnc for Sheffield a few years ago. If, like Sheffield, they also require Duo, it is possible to use that without a phone or hardware token by extracting the HOTP secret from a real or fake phone/tablet registration.

That seems to be very widespread, at least in the UK, because security (regardless of no. 4 in the fallacies of distributed computing). There may be different setups for staff and students. You can probably at least use a free software cli

Actually, one difference is that contributions by, for instance Amazon in my experience, have been lower-quality than the typical amateur on-the-ground mapping. However, their contributors have been gracious and apparently willing to learn

For clarity, I assume "import" isn't meant to mean everything in the dataset is shortly in OSM, but it's available to aid with mapping (e.g. free UK Ordnance Survey data).

Not news to Mateusz, but Microsoft also provide some "streetside" imagery, and there are other imagery providers, like ESRI (lower resolution, but typically more up-to-date and better aligned where I've used it).

Right, and I'm rather concerned that this be taken as representative of the OSM UK community. Also, it seems pretty easy to add something in the Organic Maps app (né maps.me), for instance, not that I use that for mapping.

I think you can assume this is for first degrees, mostly for candidates at, or recently at, school. As far as I know, PPE is only an undergraduate course, and DPhil (PhD) wouldn't be a "course". https://www.ox.ac

For people who don't know, All Souls isn't a normal college. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Souls_College%2C_Oxford might give some insight.

It was a long time ago, but I don't remember the interview being confrontational, just thinking the tutors seemed a bit odd -- I'd led a sheltered life. (Most interviews and tutorials surely won't be conducted by professors.

If others' messages to you are their personal data, and you "process" them -- which is rather broadly defined -- as which of the entities defined as processing data are you subject to the Regulation?

Right, regardless of the storage, but in the research computing circles I see, it's just not done. The promises of "data destruction" that get demanded are basically accompanied by fingers crossed behind the back (is that an

The way I put it was how come a remote process has authority to load arbitrary code into the local process?

Hear, hear. I've said at work that many, perhaps most, of the security issues I've seen are at least related to ambient authority. I never see these major issues trigger any deeper thinking about the issues beyond the relatively

An important point was to be non-proprietary, wasn't it? Clean and Miranda were proprietary, although the implementations are now available with permissive licences. Edit: I don't know about Scheme debating laziness as such, but

If it's of interest, there's an account of fairly recent work in the "Strassen reloaded" paper https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/3014904.3014983 or otherwise in https://www.cs.utexas.ed

However, on recent CPUs 4x4 is small for the innermost block size of the non-trivial hierarchy you need. You can see examples under https://github.com/flame/blis/tree/master/config with an a priori proc

For what it's worth, what counts for normal implementations is the number of multiply-add operations per cycle, typically two on current hardware with FMA.

Not relevant to the article, but well-written single and double precision floating point large matrix GEMM on mainstream CPUs is basically computation-bound -- look at performance figures -- and is relatively unusual in that. (You probably

Not relevant to the article, but while people are talking about HyperCard and derivatives generally, it inspired HyperNeWS, which I remember fondly, though it wasn't free software. Perhaps that kibozes Don Hopkins: http://

In which FORTRAN IV dialects was it the same as in PL/I? I should have said that alternate return is obsolescent in recent Fortran, and I don't remember ever feeling the need to use it, at least for error-handling.

You can pass a fatal error-handling routine to a Fortran subprogram, to be called with the error code.
