Beatrice ‘Tilly’ Shilling was born in 1909 in Hampshire. She became an aeronautical engineer & daredevil motorcycle racer.

In 1936, Shilling joined The Royal Aircraft Establishment. 5 yrs later, she led a team that designed a device to prevent Merlin plane engines from stalling during flight, which helped the Allies win WWII.

Shilling was also the 2nd woman to earn a Brooklands Gold Star for lapping the track at >100mph. wes.org.uk/sites/default/files #HistoryRemix #science #history #women

Can we stop using the phrase 'over Engineered', often we actually mean 'under Engineered'. Engineering is the art of meeting constraints, building simple solutions. Not getting lost in minutiae to build 'perfect' nonsense.

@ascherbaum @michristofides I got 'added' to the EDB marketing list at some point, it seems.

I remember when Aaron Swartz was criminally prosecuted for downloading too many academic journal articles, but, sure, it's totally cool to scrape everyone's personal photographs as part of a commercial effort to market discriminatory surveillance tech to police departments.

@bigcalm Yeh they've been shit all night and day, like a yoyo. Not much comms from them either, very poor, frankly. But then I got no other choice :(.

@l_avrot @ftisiot

Nice try, it's named after: Sir Edwin Alliott Verdon Roe

@dick_turpin @Waxingtonknee I never said it was *all* Brexits fault. But Brexit is a significant reason it has got worse. To say that Brexit is not part of the problem is fallacious.

@dick_turpin @Waxingtonknee Except of the places where French passport control operates in the UK, eg: St Pancras.

The entry / exit stamping takes significantly more time. That is a direct result of Brexit.

There are solutions, but exiting the UK and entering the EU is now slower or more expensive, than it was a few years ago.

Maybe if we'd had a better negotiator, it could have been better. But what is true is this is as a result of Brexit.

The Mastodon community is growing by the minute. We ourselves have seen a massive influx of followers these last few months.

How likely is it that you will still be on #Mastodon next year?

I think this is pretty solid advice for people who want to get an app to market fast and cost effectively.

We're currently working on a couple ourselves ;)
