Están de reforma en el piso de abajo y cada día, cuando empiezan con los martillazos, no puedo evitar acordarme de esta escena de ANHQV. Las corcheas tampoco las llevan bien 😔😔

Descansen en paz las víctimas del accidente ferroviario de Adamuz. No alcanzo a comprender a la gente que, desde el minuto uno, le está echando las culpas a Iryo (izquierda) o a ADIF (derecha), antes incluso de que haya información alguna sobre la causa el accidente.

Pues resulta que si eliges solo trayecto de ida en vez de ida y vuelta no da error y funciona como debería.

Si te da error al comprar trayecto ida-vuelta prueba a comprar solo ida. A mi eso me acaba de arreglar el problema y me ha dejado comprar.

Pues nada otro día que esto sigue sin funcionar. Renfe dando un servicio excelente como suele ser habitual. He probado la app y tampoco funciona. @renfeoperadora.bsky.social, ¿Cuándo pensáis arreglarlo?

Desde esta mañana sin poder comprar billetes por Renfe. Increíble servicio la verdad. Eso si, el sistema de colas ese que han metido les viene perfecto para cuando el resto de la web no hace ni lo más básico.

Got some great books lined up for the start of the year! Plus, I am reading The Expanse series on the ebook while I wait for the release of 'The Expanse: Osiris Reborn' videogame releasing (hopefully)later this year. #booksky 📚📚

The year of technoligarchy In 2025, Trump brought tech executives into power to dismantle regulators and write their own rules. But the instabilities they’re creating may be their downfall.

“WAGMI” — we're all gonna make it — was crypto's 2021 rallying cry. But those with wealth and power knew it was a lie, and that “all” just meant them. My latest traces the last five years from hype to technoligarchy — and why they're not all gonna make it either.

You missed the "home computing will never be affordable again" part.

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

También sirve para apreciar el esfuerzo y entereza de la gente que hace las cosas bien. Especialmente de aquellos que intentan diseminar de forma efectiva su buen hacer, porque, llegados a cierto punto, es tentador enrocarte en un grupo pequeño y dar la espalda al resto.

[2/2] I feel extremely lucky for the experience gained, technical and non-technical, with its ups and downs. It is hard to imagine many other places where I would have taken this leap forward in my career.

Now it is time to move on to new challenges :grin: but not before traveling for a bit.

[1/2] Last day at CERN. Two years and 10 months ago I could never have imagined where this journey would take me. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have worked on the CERN Tape Archive project as a software engineer and service operator.

Well, GCC means Global Capitalist Compiler. Right? He must be happy with it.

Nothing like going on holiday to do nothing, enjoy time with my family, read books, play videogames and try to hack stuff together by bashing my brain against the keyboard (that's how you get the brain wrinkles).

I've come to the conclusion that the usage of LLMs for professional work should be banned during the first X years of your career.

I recently got into fighting games. I was following EVO 2025 and I cannot stop listening to the MvC2 intro, although I know I am missing too many references

Nothing like starting the day with a system update that leaves the machine stuck in a boot loop. I can't even access the BIOS.
