This lines up with Atlassian's remote work research in www.atlassian.com/blog/distrib...
> Our research shows that these intentional team gatherings lead to a 27% increase in feelings of connection, especially among new graduates and new hires, and that this boost lasts for 4-5 months.
It would be really great if more people in the tech industry spoke up about what these technologies are doing to our planet. It was already in crisis before everyone got in a race to build data centers for AI.
A diagram showing how pi is encoded in the Pentium chip. The Pentium has a ROM to hold constants in the lower right. Zooming in on the ROM shows how it holds exponents in the left and the signficand in the right. Zooming in more shows the individual transistors in the ROM. Eight bits are indicated with arrows, the binary bits that start pi.
Intel's Pentium processor (1993) can compute sines, logarithms, and other special functions. To do this, it has a ROM with 304 floating-point constants. I reverse-engineered this ROM and extracted the constants. You can see pi in the ROM, binary 11.001001..., encoded in the transistor pattern. 1/n
They squandered the holy grail

Talos Wrapped 2024 is here! 🎁
Thanks everyone who contributed 🧡
This was my tenth(!) year building 25 days of puzzles for #AdventOfCode. You can solve them all for free! Most people write code to solve them, but you can solve them however you like. I hope they help people become better programmers. 🌟
The first puzzle comes out in two hours: adventofcode.com
CLI commands using kind to start a kubernetes cluster. - go install sigs.k8s.io/kind@v0.25.0 - kind --version - $(go env GOPATH)/bin/kind build node-image v1.32.0-rc.0 - kind create cluster --image kindest/node:latest - kubectl --version
The @kubernetes.io Release team minted the v1.32.0 RC0 artifacts just now. Can you please kick the tires and create issues if you see any problems? Thanks!
Pretty handy to quickly start a kind cluster with the artifacts from:

The home labbing adventures last night prompted me to write an overview of the home lab as it stands today

i have the privilege of being the program chair for 2025's @cncf.bsky.social maintainer summit, where all graduated/incubating project contributors can come together at kubecon/cloudnativecon EU in london 🤝 our first wave CFP closes soon, and getting a talk accepted gets you a ticket to kubecon!
Tweet from *tired screaming* @Ruth _Mensch Columbia has DUMPED student belongings in a FUCKING. ALLEYWAY.
Making students homeless and without healthcare the same day, destroying their belongings, banning them from campus, having them arrested for trespassing—this institution has far too much power to do harm to the students for whose safety it’s responsible.
Talos is a good project, give Sidero Labs a follow!
Where do you run Kubernetes and what do you run it on (cloud, VM, hardware)?
I need an eye-watering amount of money. You don't have any connection to the UK to donate.
What I really need though, is international exposure for my case.
Any journalists want to write about a hacker's quest to resolve their bureaucratic nightmares by hacking the UK's legal conception of gender?
Elizabeth Warren supported FOSTA/SESTA, and also cosponsored a bill to ban sex workers from having bank accounts.
I've said this for years: she is not a friend to queer people. She represents the same Puritanical ideology as conservatives, just wrapped in the language of liberal populism.
Displayport chaining via MST is the best thing, one cable from laptop and makes things way easier, sucks that apple doesn't do MST via their OS
Happy birthday Ian 🥳🎉
@evacide.bsky.social here's a "ugh Meta" story for you 😳
Not just religion only, would be more appropriate
Gallup poll data
It's not religion behind the resurgent moral panic about LBGTQ people in the USA. You don't get a 15% shift beliefs in a year due to growing religious sentiment. It's cynical opportunists trying to ride to power on populist sentiment by delegating and demonizing an outgroup.
Fuck every one of them.
Yes. Also, a lot of the anti-trans “journalists” make these kinds of noises about wanting data, but they are really just after something that will confirm their bigotry. And often that’s anecdotes that fall apart when they’re examined.
A while ago, someone asked why I still mask in public because I dress punk & "punks are all about not conforming." Ignoring my high risk status, I asked if most people mask in public now. They said no. I let them sit with that for a moment until they finally let out a quiet "Oh."
Oh cool, i use duocircle, free upto 1000 mails a month, never even close to hit that

All these tech CEOs emboldened to treat their employees, users and developer ecosystem like crap because the richest guy in the world got away with doing it at Twitter.
