@RiseAgainstEvil Greetings from Pueblo!

@popped_blog It was -23C last a week ago in Colorado 😅 working outside limited to short stints. Never in my life complaining about Pretoria being cold again.

@popped_blog Ja the milk situation is confusing 😅 Still not 100% comfortable driving after 3 months, but getting used to. Tesla’s autopilot feature helps quite a lot with the long daily commute 👌

@MsaMkhize_ Need the energy for C++ on a Friday evening 🤓👌

@Ben_Govero @geerlingguy Miniconda is a game changer for stable Python envs, moreso when reinstalling a system or deploying to other users (speaking from an engineer-doing-coding perspective, no a software dev 😁)

@cfso1988 @TheMagPi Ethernet. The main data link for the centrifuge to the control room is a rotary fibre optic link passing through the rotation axis. Ethernet more reliable compared to Wi-Fi. Thanks!

Thanks to our AMAZING community, we’ve crossed the exaFLOP barrier! That’s over a 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 operations per second, making us ~10x faster than the IBM Summit!
