To be fair the author of this did found two massively successful businesses so I imagine he does understand tackling a business problem.

That applies outside of Scotland as far as I'm aware, whereas in Scotland there is a right to roam on all land as long as you're not disturbing housing/farm activities etc.

That's not far off the same cost as to get to Glasgow from London, looking for tomorrow it's between £55 and £70. Significantly longer though for yourself, the train here is around 4 hours 45 mins (give or take). It's also generally close to on time, and we have delay repay for anything over 15 minutes.

I meant more it's interesting that they're not a member or signed up to something led by big players in AI and operating for AI safety. You'd think that one of, if not the largest, AI company would be a part of this. Equally though those other companies aren't listed as members, as the sibling comment says.

I assume it's deliberate that they've not mentioned OpenAI as one of the members when the other big players in AI are specifically called out. Hard to tell what this achieves but it at least looks good that a group of these companies are looking at this sort of thing going forward.

I think that's a reasonable heuristic, but I'd also say you have to take into account the human readability aspect of it. It sometimes does make sense IMO to split solely for that, if it allows you to "reduce" a complicated/confusing operation to a string name, leading to it being easier to understand at a glance.

Interesting how many people go straight to the cache - seems like we've all been there when we're accidentally overwriting keys with the wrong data!

Experience is the best teacher I guess, although we all seem to be doomed to make the same mistakes.

The title for this article is misleading. It only says they've agreed to a study to investigate it. There's a world of difference between that and actually approving a 4-day week for all.

Got to justify the absolutely massive campus they've built by the Clyde somehow. In my experience, there's been quite the PR push recently on how amazing this new campus is (I'm not a Barclays employee).

I've not seen Storm being used anywhere sane for a few years at least now, and from a glance at job postings it looks unlikely. Spark, Kafka Streams etc. are definitely used in a modern data platform from my experience.

I think we're seeing a big shift with Hadoop-like workloads being moved onto cloud providers, so BigQuery, Amazon EMR etc.

Not just this, but the prevalence of strokes gained being the key metric to focus on for players has opened up a new understanding of what it takes to score well and win tournaments.

AWS Console runs in us-east-1 so that points to at least that region having issues IIRC. I am also having Slack issues in EU.
