How much has to have gone missing to basically implode the American economy?

Oh wow - up to 16bn of meta's revenue could be due to scams. Interesting reading how FB needs to reduce scams but is disincentivised by how much cash it drives www.reuters.com/investigatio...

I wonder if you can code baseball bat wielding AI agents…

My word they’re going some there

Only if we can use Perl to generate it…

If the new iOS autocorrect is anything to go by it’ll barely be able to string a sentence together

I hope they like to come back cos if they start chasing each other there’s no way you’re keeping up without a motorbike

INI inside XML inside JSON if you want to do it properly

Number of open bugs preventing turning the new thing on = 0

This does not mean we will be any less busy. The amount of mopping up there is to do is enormous.

Molly is very keen to keep us all pinned down since we came back from our holiday. Can’t even tempt her off my knee with treats… so must be serious

Alternatively if SAP is the answer the person doing the answering is either a hopeless optimist, woefully ignorant or more interested in polishing their cv than in delivering anything. Possibly all 3

SAP is the answer regardless of the question

Yeah. Multitasking is just the best method of screwing up several things at the same time.

More integrity than all of big tech combined

stevedb has huge amounts of technology related data but unless you query it correctly pads outputs with dad jokes, Star Wars references and sarcasm

2100km flight back to Manchester came in 35 mins early at 3hrs. 15km drive from the airport to the house 1hr 15m. Today seems to be accident Wednesday for a lot of unlucky people. Thankfully not us. Important thing is I’ll be sleeping in my own bed tonight.

I’ve decided we must have offended the Norse gods at some point. Every time we fly in the clouds descend. The weather always seems to break just as we are leaving. Going to be clear tonight so anyone around Skibotn will get a great show if the other evening is anything to go by.

The weirdest thing about being on holiday is that despite quite a lot of activities I’ve managed to burn through three books. (2 fiction) I haven’t managed any long form reading in months as work seems to crowd it out. It also helps that I’ve avoided logging in to any of our media subs.

Do the right thing, even when no one is looking. It’s called integrity.

The northern lights glowing green inside a cloud looking like an angry storm

Three bars of northern lights with the stars showing between two of them

Gotcha

69’41” before we ran out of time

Today’s adventure. How far north can we get?

If the two of them ever get into a game of who can fetch the biggest stick. You’re going to be in trouble.

The white stucco phase of construction in Manchester looks less impressive now it’s rain stained and dirty. Whoever thought that was a good idea was not well informed about the climate

An amazing show for anyone that wants to understand some of the history of our industry

Silhouette of someone sat on a swing at Skibotn in Norway overlooking the Lyngen fjord with the snow covered mountains in the background

The sun going down behind a snow covered mountain as we drive along the road.

The mountains recede into the distance across the fjord as the sun starts to go down. The nearest mountains are silhouetted against the further snow covered peaks.

Today was a sky, fjord and mountains kind of day

View of a dark wood cabin with a turf roof and a thin smattering of snow in front, snow covered mountains in the background.

View of a bench next to a river with snow on the ground and some snowy mountains in the background with the setting sun lighting up the clouds over the mountains.

My wife seems to have booked us a gingerbread cabin in the woods for our final few days in Norway. Though the view out front is pretty good 😊

Time to drive into the wilderness!

A view of Tromso island from the top of the mountain cable car in the snow. Broken clouds and blue sky’s with the snow covered mountains behind the city.

2 hours ago it was wall to wall cloud cover. But a snowy Tromso in the sunshine is pretty spectacular

I’ve always thought cats would make excellent programmers. Up all night, sleep all day, distracted easily but can focus when necessary. Always interested in anything new (if it comes in a box) Aloof, often behave like jerks. Ignore instructions & do whatever it was they were planning to do anyway.
