Origin story time: I was a mere baby in the @UKCivilService, bowler hat still fresh and umbrella having never been unfurled. I began on the @faststreamuk, and on my first day was told that I would often not get the role I wanted because matching people and roles is hard

My dad just rocked up at mine after an auction with a bunch of chainmail. Fragmentary, individually riveted which suggests not made for re-enactment & also includes a piece with platelets with what looks like a heraldic motif incised - any experts know about this kind of thing?!

The AI revolution might be what takes the internet backwards to where it was before the 2010s:
Member-only forums, register-only sites, subscriptions everywere. What is good? You ask people who seem well-informed where they get all that reliable info from.

it's hard to overemphasize this: Google and OpenAI have no plan for how or why people will generate *new, correct information* in the age of generative AI search

Note that hackers love infecting pirated software and distributing it themselves because the users have a driven need to run it and they’ll disable antivirus if they’re told to.
This isn’t some made-up scare tactic, I’m completely serious. Be careful out there.

It seems like there's now a fully playable version of Wolverine circulating. I would caution from downloading if you get the opportunity

That number is almost always in the first line or two of any promotion document for managers. When the *most influential* metric available for a manager is "number of people working for them", it means that the strongest incentive for those managers is finding more headcount.

Loving how obsessed with bins we are right now. Reminds me of that amazing Twitter spaces yonks ago about bins which everyone thought was so geeky, then SO many people joined. As a nation, we just can’t get enough weather & bin chat.

SQLite, used in every phone and browser in the world, has 3 developers, millions of tests, and no manual testers. So don't tell me you need a 1:1 tester:engineer ratio for your "mission critical" system.

Saw Cruise @HOME_mcr this afternoon. @1JackHolden is still an absolutely remarkable performer and writer. Go see it for a slice of queer history
