For Severance fans in need of a relaxing break from their Macrodata Refinement, I made a site where you can get your very own Wellness Session!If you haven't watched the show: There are these strange therapy sessions where the characters who are stuck at work (because they have no memory of the outside world, the "Innies") are told odd but comforting facts about their "Outie" life.I replicated...

I've been watching these guys for so long — when Wren's speaking to camera in his solo videos he overdoes it but I think he's naturally pretty excitable. Niko is my favorite though.
The MAX, sure, but the other Boeings in service are good aircraft and liked by pilots (unlike the 737).
I’m a few years older and in total admiration of you. Just from writing this comment I’m sure you’re already a great role model (at least you are to me!) I hope you get where you want to go too :)

Hi — I'm a CS student at the University of Edinburgh, graduating in May. Looking for backend/infrastructure/DevOps roles in the US.

I learned Linux through years of homelabbing and have professional experience in AWS and Terraform from a DevOps internship. I'm also interested in backend SWE — my dissertation project is implementing an aircraft tracking platform using ADS-B data, Kafka, MongoDB, GraphQL and Go.

Same here. However, trying to log in again fails with a "you may have mistyped the email address" so it seems to have worked.

But it's also a premium product, so it matching a 3070m isn't really above what you'd expect for the cost (but efficiency is another story)

CUDA is proprietary and exclusive to Nvidia, so probably not! (Apple and Nvidia haven’t been cooperative for some time)
