Maybe if #universities were treated as places of learning to learn and think critically instead of certifications for the job market and substitutes to employers investing in staff, students would be better equipped to question and challenge #AIhype and less inclined to think something like #ChatGPT is a reliable replacement for library-style research skills.
@popey SMD work (and especially rework) looks and feels brutal, but the packages have been designed to stand upto it. It surprising how many failures are related to power failures and simple passive components. Gamers Nexus's latest video on EVGA has some excellent SMD rework insanity in it.

#openSUSE will be in Hall H at #FOSDEM this year. Comes see us if you have any questions about the community, distributions, tools or projects. https://news.opensuse.org/2023/01/17/learn-more-about-os-alp-at-fosdem/
@mattwilcox if you create an observer per element you wish to observe you get the pattern you describe.
Yet if the API woked the way you describe you could not apply the same logic to a collection of elements.
The bigger trip up I've hit with these APIs has been around the callback closure lifetimes and React crapiness.

The Intel 8086 microprocessor (1978) revolutionized the computer industry and led to the popular x86 architecture. It uses microcode, breaking machine instructions down into simpler micro-instructions. By studying the chip under a microscope, I can explain it. 🧵

discovered this preference today, and wish I had found earlier because wow is it annoying to be prompted to login to all sorts of random sites
Rather good and interesting read about the real issues behind some of the UK railway issues:

#72pencils arranged into four intersecting hexagonal prisms. Took me a bit to figure out how to assemble it after seeing a picture. Original design by mathematician/sculptor George Hart. #Geometry #Pencil

Good explanation of how energy prices are set in UK and why we pay same price as gas for renewal energy which are fraction of the price of gas.

Has to be the dumbest Tweet in the universe when you consider around 80% of its customer base is Opensource folk who historically have been very uneasy with police forces around the world.
@dick_turpin Very much so. TBH their PR has been pretty prickly for a long time.
They seem to think giving customers no information and no detail over the supply chain issues is a virtue, rather than exceptionally frustrating.
It's just a bit sad that they are needlessly harming the good work they do do, for the lack of listening.
@dick_turpin It was a little tone deaf for sure. But I think their response to the criticism and their further doubling down on it was the bigger error.
