8 Bits High live at a local museum near my home year ago:

Vapriikki (https://www.vapriikki.fi/en/) has e.g.,

1. Most extensive video game museum in Finland.
2. Some other tech stuff like the first ever IRC Server in a glass case ;-)

Great place to visit if around here.

I started to do my second gym program with the move that I hate the most because it is such a struggle: Bulgarian squat.

I guess that means it does something...

This week Michael Hudson-Doyle of the #Ubuntu Foundations team published a write-up of our experimentation with the `-O3` GCC flag by default in the distribution.

The tl;dr is that we don't yet believe that the change makes sense globally, but there are certainly come packages that would benefit from using the increased optimisation level.

See the post here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/benchmarking-a-distribution-and-some-o3-results/58027

disclaimer: not real (but still funny)

IMHO, AMD, Intel and ARM should step up and start provide some cheap and accessible hardware that you can use at your home, and not intended for rolling out cash (i.e. something like NUC), but only to allow kernel maintainers and operating system developers to test their server features.

Cheap means here something like less than 1000 euros.

E.g., in Intel SGX the latest and greatest are NUC7's from 2018 and for VM based confidential computing there's nothing appropriate.

Shame on you CPU companies!

#arm #intel #amd #cpu

oh dear...

I wish I read more tech books where the author thanks her lovely husband for patience and encougarement. Acknowledgements are like a time trip 50s family model. #tech #books

I'm looking for a job. I have 30 years of experience doing complex systems programming in many languages, most recently Typescript, Haskell, and Python. I learn quickly. I can do advanced mathematics.

In 2024 I helped a company migrate 15,000 customers from another company into their own systems.

In 2023 I helped develop a differential privacy database product written in Haskell.

Before that I helped develop a laboratory information management system that tracked up to 40,000 Covid-19 tests per day.

I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, but I have years of success working remotely, and I am also willing to consider relocation.

Please check out my CV.

Sometimes it feels like that the world is run by random Signal, Telegram and WhatsApp groups. Can't be, I must be imagining things...

So what the fuck happened to #Sentinel, or why is US MIL command and control run by random Signal groups? Was it scraped by #DOGE? ;-)

I've noticed something that I think is worth pointing out: pretty much ALL of the pushback I have gotten on LinkedIn over the past few months over stories critical of this administration has come from men in IT. Many of whom no doubt idolize Musk, who in their minds can walk on water.

Conversely, the response almost universally I've seen from female non/male people in IT and security professionals on LinkedIn has been a great deal more appropriate, i.e. horror, disgust and revulsion for the way this administration is treating federal employees, veterans, the courts, judges, lawyers, journalists, and important, long-standing U.S. policy interests.

I guess what I'm saying is nobody should expect the men in IT to lead the resistance. So many of them are like this guy: angry, aggressive, and really excited about the good old US of A going back to the 80s. Like the 1880s.

Trump has already been enjoined by courts in his second term more than Biden was in his entire term. It’s not the courts. It’s the illegality.
