Piata Mare in the beautiful old city of Sibiu. I have only been here one time. But we spent 3 days. This is a wonderful city, fantastic food and great people.

It is about 5 hours from Brasov by train. And the journey is breathtaking!

I love the Rust programming language (even the turbofish...) But man alive, in 35 years' of software development I have *never* worked with worse documented libraries/frameworks. And bearing in mind I've developed for QNX Neutrino and Symbian in my time, that's saying a lot...

Successful working from home is all about investing in the right tools for the job. Which is why I’m currently contemplating buying a coffee grinder that’s worth about twice as much as my computer… 🤔

I love this low detail cat model Wikipedia used to try to explain how cats land on their feet.

So, Google fired their star AI ethics researcher Dr. Timnit Gebru after she tried to publish a paper demonstrating that Google’s BERT natural language model is unethically biased along gender and racial lines and not fit for use. It sounds like Google squashed the paper because it found the contents “objectionable”, and is claiming that Gebru chose to resign instead of being fired.

Note to self:

Remember to do `copy running-config startup-config` to persist your network switch settings.

*Particularly* remember to do this if you have a cat that's decided the network switch is her favourite place to sleep, and may be prone to quietly rebooting the network switch at a moment's notice.

Otherwise you may just spend two days debugging mysterious network problems before discovering kitty raised an old switch config from the dead... Sigh.
