I do linux and cloud native things at microsoft (azure). 20-year silicon valley veteran now mostly in berlin and seattle. “A delightful blend of concise tech jargon peppered with lyrical humor and unexpected punchlines.” - blueskyroast.com
no-one has yet written the definitive analysis of AI's impact on the ec.... (From @ryanavent.bsky.social in the FT: "Artificial intelligence and Engels’ Pause" www.ft.com/content/daab...)
Thoughts on the Miele PowerDisk system? (Other than of course it’s much more expensive - I get that. I’m thinking it potentially allows the machine to wash very effectively.)
Amazing weekend soaking up all the atmosphere of the Monaco Grand Prix with an absolutely wonderful group of people, in a sublimely beautiful location, and a very exciting race with red flag drama to top it off. 10/10 would do again.
25 years ago today, this lovely lady said “Ja!” And life has been better every day since.
hold onto your hats skeeters cos I’ve got my “gonna get shit done” socks on today
looking forward to this chamber concert next week - 7 horns and a flute! (if you happen to be in Berlin and want to join, tickets here: www.rsb-online.de/konzerte/kam... )
Lots of my US friends are talking about moving to the UK right now. This map will be a useful guide for them.
Interesting choice of photo to illustrate the headline. Do they know something about King Charles’ intentions that we don’t?
Today would be Wittgenstein‘s 137th birthday. I remember talking to people in Cambridge who had known him personally As just a guy who came to the pub. One of my most highly recommended reads is Ray Monk’s wonderful biography, which came out while I was an undergrad studying philosophy.
Interesting hearing about Schleswig Holstein’s journey to open source, and how they’re directing money that would have gone to US closed source vendors (*cough* that pay my salary *cough*) to DE open source firms.
the new kubernetes 1.36 release logo is just fantastic. is it the greatest since the breadsticks one?
This was 9 years ago today and still makes me laugh @josephjacks.bsky.social
I don’t typically share dailymail links but this one has a poll you might want to vote on. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
It’s been awesome seeing the photos of earth from the other side of the moon. The furthest taken by a manned spacecraft, but not the furthest that we have ever taken. That would be this one, taken from 6 billion km away by Voyager 1. We are that very tiny pale blue dot. (www.bbc.com/news/science...)
I fucking love public libraries. support your local library *just by going there* and showing you value it.
First time on the new light rail line from Seattle to Redmond. View of Rainier from the bridge!
