Also did this in cryptography + coding theory class back in university days.

Our final exam had a practical code breaking test where we had a bunch of utilities and had to crack 3 different cyphers. I've always recounted it fondly.

Yes; I have a Kofola from the tap once in a while with a Langos at the nearby market. It does taste better.

Definitely agree on the sweetness factor. It is also the same with Vinea, which others have mentioned here. I am not a soft-drink person really, but it is more refreshing by virtue of not having such a sweet syrupy vibe.

My kids like Vinea and I feel better about giving it to them now and then, than I would with Coke, which to me is mouth-puckeringly sweet.

I liken Kofola to a mix between sarsaparilla and cola.

Nice setup.

A while back I moved to Arch with Xmonad, dmenu, tmux etc, but for about a year now, my workstation has been the same tools on top of Ubuntu Server. I have an Ansible playbook that I can apply to a fresh install and have almost my whole working environment ready to go - just a few things I haven't got around to including/automating.

The great thing about running this kind of setup is that you need a deeper understanding of Linux to do all the things that you would otherwise rely on a fully-fledged DE to do for you. For me, this has translated into greater fluency on servers, because my daily driver more closely resembles one.

Thanks for the heads up on the consultation process. Just sent my email.

What do you mean by computer nerd neck? I do shrugs, which hits the traps, but I find my neck is a bit thicker too.

Front squats isolate the quads more - I prefer to do back squats, then isolate smaller groups with quad extensions and hamstring curls; the latter being good for the glutes too.

Throw a few heavy deadlifts in there. You'll develop some hard glutes.

I wish I knew about this when I wrote Scala (albeit briefly). It's one of those "ill posed problems" when debugging - what is the implicit from a third party library that is not in scope that makes this work?

There is also the Canonical Distribution of Kubernetes (CDK).

If you want to try a stripped down version on your local machine, kubernetes-core can be installed into LXD containers via conjure-up with a click of the fingers - nice for playing around.

Opta data cost is nothing compared to RunningBall (also part of the Perform group).

RunningBall is all the real time data - you pretty much can't run an in-game book without it. It practically runs the in-game betting world.

When I was a kid, my parents kept a bookshelf with a vast library of National Geographic issues. I used to read them at random in idle periods, and I specifically remember the Koko's Kitten edition.

I never realised that she was still alive.

Makes me wonder though, in the internet age when people aren't in the habit of giving over large physical spaces to things like Nat Geo or Encyclopedias, how much getting information in this mode is diminished; as opposed to dog-on-surfboard social media snippets.

I remember this happening for chips from the first step revision of Nehalem.

When the demand for the i7 920 was way up, there were a bunch of better chips sold as such.

Savvy overclockers knew which batch numbers they were and sought the particular runs.

I totally agree. That book was a cut above. The back-in-time view through the Ter'angreal was inspired.

I also really enjoyed the prior book, when Mat's luck runs hot leaving Tar Valon.
