Open-source Developer. Wellingtonian. Gamer. 30-something. Too lazy to update profile each year. He/him.
As promised:
I'm a staff-ish level software engineer, fairly deeply involved in the Python community (see @NorthBayPython which I organise, and @ThePSF where I'm a board Director). Things I like: understanding/taking apart/reassembling systems; open source; technology in service of humans. Otherwise not terribly picky :)
Things I'm good at: programming in #Python (other languages acceptable, of course), communicating complicated stuff in conference talks, probably a few things related to that. Ask?
@stephen I am pleased to hear this, cos at one stage a reasonably large rat decided to die in our compost heap (I try not to think what that says about the compost itself)
He says, having spent most of the last 4 hours trying to reverse engineer an Android app so he can scrape some data out of it, now realizing it is most certainly past a reasonable bed time, and that he's still gonna be wired on problem-solving for some time
If we ever get a 4-year terms referendum here, can we make it contingent on it *never* lining up with US elections? Odd election years only please, or at least never in the November half of the year (my understanding is that the US system is regimented enough it won't shift cycle years)
@Phil_Tanner yeah, nah, that's a nazi
You'd have to be so very unfortunate to inadvertently choose that plate, and honestly the fact it's reversed (numbers sealed from usual use) and obscured in different numeral systems only convinces me further - I reckon something more straight up would have been caught by the issuers
@adamhotep They're not very practical. The only way to dissipate the heat is via radiation.
The ISS radiators manage about 300W/m², so one current-gen AI GPU needs about 2m², and these have to be proper three-dimensional objects with pipes and stuff (as opposed to solar panels, which work perfectly well as a thin film) - a heat pump might help to some extent, letting it exploit the Stefan-Boltzmann law, but it will considerably increase your mass-to-orbit.
We've got a contrail over Wellington, which is pretty rare, but even weirder is that it's running east to west - seems like it's the Sydney to Santiago
