Back in 2012 I was working for one of the darlings of the Spanish startup scene, and they hired one of these wonderboy programmers that were in fashion back then (you know the pattern: 17-19 y.o. kid who made an app or a framework and the press interviewed them as the new Bill Gates). In his first day, this dude went desk by desk, looking at our code, and pointing out at everything he thought it was clumsy or inelegant, to the point of laughing from time to time. I've never seen someone so close to get punched in an office environment. (Three months after that he deleted half of the production database after running an untested script against it. DevOps managed to restore a backup the was barely an hour old, and he was not fired, but everyone, including the managers that hired him and were treating him as a computer genius, started treating him as the baby developer he was, at last)
Good morning. I had a long sleep but woke up many times throughout the night. At least however I was able to drift off again each time. I got up late after lying in bed listening to the rain for a while.
I’m honestly not sure what to do with myself for the next few days. I have very little to do for my PhD until Friday. I emailed my boss for my previous job, which I continue to do 7 hours a week, saying I have lots of free time and it would be great to crack on with her project… I’ve been waiting weeks for her to aggregate two datasets so I can analyse the qual stuff, but nothing. I do actually want to work!

"O primeiro-ministro voltou a travar o acesso a informações sobre as suas declarações de rendimentos e não permitiu acesso público ao número da matriz dos 55 imóveis que declarou à Entidade para a Transparência (EpT), segundo avança este domingo o Correio da Manhã.

Montenegro diz que se só opôs à divulgação de dados sobre seis imóveis urbanos da sua residência e família Leia também
De acordo com o jornal, Luís Montenegro apresentou um pedido de oposição à divulgação desses elementos, que foi deferido pela Entidade para a Transparência. Entre os bens patrimoniais declarados constam seis imóveis urbanos — incluindo a casa em Espinho e um apartamento em Lisboa — e 46 prédios rústicos herdados da família.
O CM acrescenta que Montenegro opôs-se à divulgação pública das informações em quatro das cinco declarações de rendimentos entregues à EpT desde abril de 2024, e o número da matriz dos imóveis, que é relevante para conhecer a escritura pública da compra e venda de um imóvel, foi removido em quatro dessas declarações."

Some colleagues and I have a book coming out in a couple of weeks, called Getting Started with Tech Ethics, published by the British Computing Society as part of their CPD series. It's on a discount if you preorder, which you can do here shop.bcs.org/page/detail/getti…
I wrote the final chapter, and I got a bit spicy, and it still surprises me that they didn't ask me to revise it to tone down the criticism. So yeah. Enjoy? 😁
🦾 When we’re healthy, activities like walking, sitting down, speaking and remembering things can be done with ease. But if an accident or illness impairs our physical or cognitive capabilities, such everyday tasks can become difficult or even impossible. Researchers are working to develop systems that can help patients regain lost physical abilities.

Despite what the papers say, 'Operation Raise the Colours' is far from organic
Yaxley-Lennon is among other far-right figures, including the ludicrous Sargon of Akkad (Carl Benjamin) and Dan Wootton, who have been pushing the ‘Operation Raise The Colours’ line, exploiting a story about a council in Birmingham removing Union flags from lamp posts which, according to the Daily Telegraph, had been placed there as a “patriotic outpouring”.
I was trying to construct a witty message about how f’cked off I am with the number of 🏴 I am seeing in the villages, but I’m too annoyed by them to make it witty.
I may go and purchase a massive flag (not 🏴) and fly it from the 10m mast in the garden.
Any suggestions as to which flag it should be? 🇸🇨 is pretty. Or 🇪🇺?
Or I could give away loads 🇬🇪 and make them all look like even bigger muppets?

Genocidio sì o genocidio no? Forse è un dibattito un po' sterile, se si limita a valutare quanto cattivo sia uno stato o l'altro. La definizione di genocidio è uno strumento, che va usato per ottenere un risultato molto concreto: fermare i massacri.

I think this is the first time ever a train on regular passenger service traveled from Ljubljana on 3kV DC, switched to 25kV AC power in Dobova and continued on to Zagreb!!
Okay, so what's going on and why is this important?
Up until today, to travel between Zagreb and Ljubljana you had to book a seat on one of the 3 daily pairs of trains on long distance services (to Villach, Stuttgart, Zürich etc.. These trains are fine, but Ljubljana is just a stop on them.
Meanwhile, the two cities are very close and there's no good reason why there shouldn't be extra service here. Slovenian railways run a ton of trains to Dobova, 20 minutes away from Zagreb main station. Why not continue them on Zagreb then??
Up until recently, there was a relatively good reason - electric trains couldn't run between Slovenia and Croatia without changing locomotives because of voltage difference. But nowadays there are multi phase trains that can run on both! More about this here: blog.vladovince.com/the-histor…
Earlier this year, I wrote about a rare occurrence at Dobova, a border station between Slovenia and Croatia: a few HŽPP local trains crossed over from Croatia…
So starting today, Slovenske železnice are extending two daily local trains that used to go from Ljubljana to Dobova all the way to Zagreb, giving passengers more options! That's two more pairs of trains between two cities!

Am I missing something fundamental? If a #refugee is seeking asylum in the UK for their own safety (which is the concept of being a refugee), why would their immediate family members (partners and children) not also be at risk? Why should refugee status deny them a right to family life?
This rightwing bile from #Cooper and #Labour is a mistake that will cost them votes.
“This will either force families to stay split up, leaving thousands of women and children in extremely dangerous situations, or it forces them into dangerous journeys. Either way, this has terrible consequences.
In the year to June 2025, 92% of #refugee family reunion visas were given to women and children. More than half went to children. Two-thirds to people from Syria, Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iran and Sudan.”
The optics of Yvette #Cooper’s announcement on #refugee families are so appalling, they only have merit to the baying rightwing mob.
This isn’t in any way shape or form a rational, thought out policy.
It throws away the concept of there being a difference between a migrant and a refugee.
It’s a racist announcement, designed purely to appeal to racists…with no consideration given to the women and children who will suffer and may die as a result of it.
We know that #Starmer has long forgotten his human rights lawyer past in his quest for power.
The deliberate decision to target the most vulnerable and their even more vulnerable children in the name of trying to get a few positive headlines in the Daily Mail and Express before MPs go back to Parliament, is absolutely shameful.
This policy on refugee families will have lasting dire consequences and should be strongly opposed.
