There’s a great German TV show from a few years back about a crime scene cleaner “Tatortreiniger”. It’s more philosophical/funny than gruesome and worth a watch if you don’t mind reading sub-titles. The BBC did an adaptation in English, but I’ve not watched it yet.

I did a job developing a multimedia CD that trained doctors. Well, it was more of a marketing tool. For oncology… of the face and genitals. It was easily the most harrowing experience of my career. So many genitalia and tongues with hideous growths and what have you. The people who agreed to be photographed were both brave and very, very unwell.

I was on the tech team, sonI got off quite lightly. The two graphics people spent day after day aligning and processing these photos so that everything was clearly visible. I don’t know how they slept at night.

I left after a year. I don’t think anyone managed longer than that.

The comments on Phoronix definitely took a racist turn…

Just look at the graph of Asia 1959. That is the Great Chinese Famine - the cause of which lies very much with the CCP.

They bang on about free speech… but apparently not that free…

Just goes to show that, yes, stupid racist remarks can have a massive impact.

My understanding is that it boots faster. That’s a nice thing to have on a container that spins up on demand.

Unfortunately, they’re not a great choice for out aircraft.

Honestly, if they had half the talent of Damon Albarn they wouldn’t need the cash.

OK, it was a basic pattern recognition model, nothing nearly as sophisticated as we have now, but I think it would have performed significantly faster.

I had the idea to offload machine learning to GPUs back in the early 00’s. I was working for a company doing number plate recognition back then, so I was even in a position to act on my idea… but my boss thought I was nuts.

I’m not sure how much money I would have made, but it’s got to be better than this!

I went from Boost for Reddit straight to Boost for Lemmy. It does everything I need and the dev is quite active with new features etc.

Are captured included in the daily losses, or does that only include killed/wounded?

That’s news to me - and a bit of a dick move.

New Thinkpads are still great Linux laptops, so there’s a steady stream of newer 2nd hand models coming on the market.

The A Delta spokesperson said the airline “will decline to comment further.” ®

Huh, did they really register that sentence? :D

The ® is appended to all articles on The Register since I’ve known it, some 20 years now…

C# is much more recent than C/BCPL etc. What’s interesting, though, is how many of C these more modern languages are inspired by C. C is also very much still in use!

Surely those are EU competencies. What is she even going to discuss?

Or lovely but poor parents. I hated the whole gap year culture when I went to University. Everyone carried on like they were so cool. No, you weren’t, you were just rich enough to afford flights and to do fuck all for a year.

Snapshots are read only. Best plan is to rollback to a snapshot you think works, test it and if all is good use sudo snapper rollback to make the current snapshot the default. I usually reboot at that point too, not sure if it’s necessary though.
