I'm surprised at the amount of Apple consoomer cheerleading on the fediverse. Maybe I shouldn't be.

One of my old PhDs is now faculty elsewhere and she's been in touch for a project. I always like working with these people. Best part of the job.

My boss is making ominous noises about AI and its impact on staffing, which means he's hearing that from his bosses.

Great.

Just watched Jamie Chadwick make history at #IndyNXT Road America. The first woman to win on a road course in the series history. Fantastic stuff, and a long way from her difficulties last year. She did the work over the winter.

Happy Friday everyone. Hope your weekends are good and you all get the rest you deserve.

Campus is at it's quietest in June. Although this ostensibly suits my grumpy introverted nature, I much prefer it when all the kids are about.

Absolute peak Reddit.

Looking at the Dell configurator for the XPS 13; they're being sneaky with the OS loadout. Time was Linux was free (for obvious reasons) now they are offering a ~$100-$150 dollar incentive to ship it with windows. #linux https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/new-xps-13/spd/xps-13-9340-laptop/usexcucto9340mtl01?ref=variantstack

My dog is just sitting staring at me, which usually means "There is food somewhere in this house, and you are not giving me it"

The TT is completely unique. Also completely bonkers It's like a throwback to older, much more dangerous times.

Looking forward to reading this early (one of the very first) motorsport chassis design bibles

I am trying to stop myself going on a rant of the consequences of managers getting excited about buzzwords. I have been through this, in the course of 15yrs, with CRM, Cloud, and Containerization. It comes up every few years.
