Legal & General talking about their mainframe modernisation and increasing use of MongoDB and facing the challenges in transition.
MongoDB .local London 2022
Great evening at "Randall Munroe live in London" of xkcd fame, with MC Matt Parker. Pulling at threads and falling down rabbit holes, like, if the solar system was filled with soup.
Interested to hear what MongoDB 6 will advance and automate. L&G talk - a modernising journey, mainframes to cloud-native with a little-bang approach. Finishing Happy Hour, but how many ppl will ask why no Mongo shell in the bin. There must be a joke in there somewhere. #MongoDB
This should be interesting👀: @Yugabyte hosting #DistributedSQL Summit in London on Oct19. #YugabyteDB is #CloudNative and open source. Fascinating to see how they fit into the database constellation, and maybe with a touch of automation.

Replying to @julsimon
@julsimon, thank you and the team so much for a great master class of @huggingface on #AWS with #sagemaker. Baptism of fire, I feel I've been transformed with Transformers. Fascinating talking to other attendees and about their applications. Must try DALL.E

A very interesting example of #riscv working at the #HPC end. Conversely, 13-year-old constructs RISC-V Pipeline riscv.org/blog/2020/11/13-ye… Example of inclusion and diversity, but, as always, where are the tech women ?

In this paper is presented Monte Cimone, the first RISC-V cluster which is fully operational and supports a complete software environment for HPC, proving the maturity of the RISC-V ISA and the first generation of commercially available #RISCV components. arxiv.org/pdf/2205.03725.pdf

Thank you Alex. @asbradbury certainly took us on a great whirlwind tour of the RISC-V ecosystem and the efforts to define and build out the Free and Open RISC Instruction Set Architecture. #FOSSi Why is RISC-V becoming successful over others, read this: semiengineering.com/why-risc…

The first @risc_v Cambridge Meetup is on April 28th at 6pm. @asbradbury presenting "A whirlwind tour of RISC-V LLVM and the open source RISC-V software ecosystem". Open to all. Spaces are filling up fast! community.riscv.org/e/mnzy8g…

Windows11 on early release at window11updates.com Its Linux Subsystem for Windows (LSW). Nick Parker CVP at Microsoft speaking of the new platform, its about form factor agility and the need for a modern OS. The Linux usage on our cloud has surpassed Windows. #dotNET #linux

The boy is looking forward to joining the new regiment, and gaining another pair of wings. Engineering researcher at Imperial by day, Para by night. He’s already donning the regimental maroon t-shirt with “grep --harder”. So fauxfake.
