In a lot of parts of the countryside that I love, the ash trees have completely obscured all the best views over the past 30 years. It feels awful to say but I can’t wait for ash-die-back to wipe out this generation. We’ll be glad for the

We used this for a while at Speechmatics but our LM researchers have a well established workflow based on git working copies on NFS /home and we had a lot of instability between sccache and NFS. Is sccache susceptible to cache misses w

I suppose therefore that the basis of a non-compete agreement is that an employee will be so saturated with secrets that they couldn’t possibly work for a competitor without implicitly revealing those secrets? Garden[ing*] leave is the usua

It’s cool to see code in an interpreted language being edited at the repl. Ruby’s style of building everything at runtime using the language itself has always felt delightfully consistent, but also very hard to reason about with static ana

As an example: if Coca Cola’s secret is worth $100 but the employees are making $1 each then a rival can poach them for $10 and still get a great return. Coke could split the $100 more fairly but Pepsi still only needs to pay $100/N +

The optics, for a modern democratic republic, aren’t even that fantastic: pardons and proclamations are the acts of Kings. Democracies change laws through debate, legislation, and the voting by the representatives of the people. I hope thi

There are quite a few comments here saying this system is too out of date for modern use as a Linux laptop. What is a better alternative? It’s not like I’m unaware what the answer might be. I have a very long list of manufacturers of nice

I’m not arguing with you here but it would be interesting to know what about tunnelling is fundamentally expensive. Things I can think of: it is slow, so you burn through a lot of wages. To compare with road building the only major road I
