Yeah the 15CE is nice. I own, err, three. Use one, hedge the others on going up in value one day :)

I don’t think I’ve upgraded a desktop machine for about 10 years. I usually buy a 1-3 year old corporate desktop and use it for 2-4 years, buy another one and throw the old one on …

Still use my original 42S and 15C here all the time.

You need the historical context of the desktop calculator to really understand the pocket calculator. Short summary: "I want that in my pocket"

Yep. Investors are shifting capital out of the market. Always happens. The little guys end up paying for the losses.

Cynical take here, but I think realistic. There's a lot of noise I can see behind the scenes on investor confidence. Noise as in "everything is fucked" sort of level of noise. Thus…

I get locked out occasionally when travelling outside EU as well. I've got to the point I will just avoid using services with CloudFlare in front of them. Also the one time I repor…

Relying on nuances of the abstraction and undefined or variable characteristics sounds like a very very bad idea to me. The one thing you generally want for circuits is reproducibi…

There are no UK residents involved in the organisation or operation of it now even though we came up with it.

I am part of a small specialist online technical community. We just moved it over to a Hetzner box in Germany and someone there is paying for it instead of it being hosted in the U…

Elegantly put. The biggest lie that is told about crypto is that writing off a few thousand years of experience with money will make problems go away.

I think the impact is going to be far greater than that. I have seen, at least here in the UK, some people speaking about moving entirely back to hardware that is controlled by the…

Looked after a 1000 seat Pegasus and Mercury installation on Netware in the 90s. Surprised to hear it is still going!

They also forget the economic model that you have to pay $5000 for a real lawyer after the fact to undo the mess you got yourself in by trusting the output of the AI in the first p…

I’m not ragging on the whole field. If I narrow it down too much they’ll know who I am and you will know who they are. I’ll reduce it to a part of psychology.

Removed all my stuff from iCloud about a month ago in preparation for this.

Sorry but I exhibit far higher levels of clue than Musk.

Every time I talk to an MBA grad I hear stuff like this spoken about enthusiastically. I suspect that they moved the business ethics bit to the elective part of the course.

That won't happen because they are late on delivering it. The mission was supposed to be Feb but has been pushed back to late March 2025. If SpaceX don't screw it up further that i…

I think it was fairly clear. The real issue is somewhere else. Perhaps your perception of bad is wrong.

You do realise they were supposed to return on the next crew rotation in Feb? Which was on a Crew Dragon that the delivery is late on. So that's on Musk's company. Now that looks b…

My father was a big Musk fan and a notorious abusive asshole. He blindly followed the loudest authority figure of the hour because there wasn't an ounce of rational thinking in his…

In a civil society he shouldn't have lasted past calling someone a pedo in public. Most CEOs would have been ejected from their companies pretty damn quickly. Why not Musk?
