@SGgrc ...plus the usual thanks for everything you do, so much education over the years and really happy you're planning on continuing past 999!

Hey @SGgrc a thought on wiping disks advice - I've been encrypting disks with a strong passphrase that might contain stuff I want to keep private from the start. I figure this protects me not only when I'm done with the disk but also if it gets lost or stolen and I can't wipe

@SGgrc Another thought on SN941 and HTTP vs. HTTPS - could features like Firefox https-only mode help? https://t.co/N4gpzl7j4W At least then it's a one-off decision to set your security position, option to switch to private and a reminder in the moment that you thought HTTP was bad idea

@neuracache hey is it possible to connect to a markdown file that's available over http? Thinking eg. file in a GitHub repo. Appreciate that may prohibit sync of metadata off device but I'd be fine with that

@GiveBloodNHS just been turned away again for being 1-2 points below the magic 135 number for iron level. It's frustrating that I have no agency to accept the risk. If you're so desperate for donors just let me donate!

@drjtwit @SuzannahEvans @WillFurnass Oh yes, missed tofu 🤦‍♂️ Just the one then!

[brabster @brabster]

@SuzannahEvans @WillFurnass @drjtwit Last year? 0. But I've enjoyed way more variety of tasty food than the previous 40-odd years. Probably should try Kimchi!

[brabster @brabster]

@drjtwit 21 here. Most of which are in the "never again" bin for various reasons!

Today I asked a new cohort of about 30 ML PhD students to assume they were given these tasks by their employers and how they would respond. These questions raised heated debates 🔥🔥🔥 and the class went on way longer than anticipated

@walkingrandomly I would go for an ultra wide monitor on a desk - I had a 40" monitor and it was too high for all the space to be useful... contrast dropped away as I looked up and down too. Make sure screen resolution is right for you too, too low and feels like you have comedy fonts...

Machine learning at Duolingo, super interesting if you've used the app https://t.co/ELZWpvV8BF

@Carr0t Wow he is big!

[brabster @brabster]

Hey everyone, meet John. He just had his zeroth birthday and he's already super cool. Not that I'm biased or anything.

[brabster @brabster]

@walkingrandomly Yep using https://t.co/AkzIosvSCd for my local notebook server atm

[brabster @brabster]

Just realised why I keep getting Jupyter notebook keyboard shortcuts wrong. A adds cell above - B adds cell below. I keep thinking B for Before and A for After, so wrong way round 🤔🤦‍♂️

@SticksAndBr1cks @goustocooking My wife hated tofu at first (she had a thing about texture too)... got a press and bake thinner slices and it's much better. Lastly B12 and https://t.co/1y1EJjLVAu, you've probably already been told about that though. Good luck, we're a year in and loving it

[brabster @brabster]

@SticksAndBr1cks Don't know if you need any more advice but my wife and I went straight to plant-based. We used @goustocooking to get us started, they have lots of vegan options to help get you started.
