“But if you strip away the title, the salary, and the years of experience, there’s one core skill that separates senior+ engineers from everyone else: reducing ambiguity. Everything else flows from that.”

Would anyone like a copy of my book, Close Reading with Computers, for free? All I ask is a postage contribution if you can afford it.

The fediverse is better off for not having tons of brands, celebrities or public persons - these things destroy community.

not sure we want the company of people who were still feeling comfy on Twitter last week though.



#FreeSoftwareAdvent I couldn't work without LibreOffice or Thunderbird. The former is a fantastic and comprehensive office suite, and the latter is Mozilla's IMAP and POP3 email client.

I suggested using them years ago at a work meeting, and since then, Microsoft tools have been discarded in favor of their opensource alternatives.



We are water stressed all over Kent exacerbated by low rainfall, geology, overpopulation and poor infrastructure.
We can't keep building in such an environmentally stressed area.

This flu has been relentless. I must have slept something like 15 hours today.

Not consistently, mind you. Often woken up by aches and chills.



Uno schermo che non si limita a mostrarti le immagini: te le fa toccare. I ricercatori dell'Università della California hanno inventato pixel che si sollevano quando illuminati da un laser, creando rigonfiamenti percepibili al tatto. Funziona senza elettronica integrata, solo luce. 1.511 pixel indipendenti, precisione millimetrica, applicazioni possibili dalle auto ai libri elettronici. Interessante sul serio.

Ein Bild zeigt ein Haus, das teilweise von einer Hecke verdeckt ist. Im Vordergrund befindet sich ein grauer Kasten mit Graffiti. Die Hecke bedeckt die Basis des Hauses und schränkt die Sicht auf die Tür ein. Das Haus hat ein dunkles, steiles Dach mit einem Schornstein an einem Ende. Der Kasten im Vordergrund hat den Text "#SV" in roten und schwarzen Buchstaben aufgetragen.

There's something in the water at the DWP: Neil Couling, the director general of DWP services, in a blog post now removed, suggested that the victims of the care-payments-claw-back scandal were really themselves to blame for their situation...

These are people whose lives have be ruined while trying to do the right thing for their loved ones, by laziness & cost-cutting at the DWP.

Its an appalling indictment of the inhumanity of our politics
