@adamboxer1 @arberesford @geoffnimrod Just to mention here that there's an example Cambridge CS interview or two on YouTube that are probably useful. https://t.co/uZ6BcZ1mNc

RT appreciated: How many #devops folks know that all of the BA.5, BQ.1.1 etc. variant designations come from a handful of volunteers running a github repo? Or that the python code used to identify new variants is starting to hit computational limits?

@alexwlchan When I did the trackside safety course back in the 90s, we were given something actually called "The Rule Book", and it was impressed on us that the entire contents were written in blood. I recall it was a loose leaf binder and you got given only the bits you needed.

@issarobson Very sad to hear this, we'll all miss her. Thinking of you.

What's going on with the computer system @LloydsPharmacy ? My branch has been unable to fill my repeat prescription? I've been sent away twice now because they can't download the prescription.

@issarobson No one is forced to read your Twitter feed - they can simply block you if they don't like it.

@Raspberry_Pi Because Wall-E is awesome :)

[Lance Robson @lwr20]

@PiDrogen That is *lovely*

Really @MattHancock? 🤔
Then why did we make and distribute over 200,000 face shields 🤔
Why did we bother becoming the 1st distributed manufacturers to get CE approval? 🤔
Why are we now having to fight HMRC for over £10,000 in VAT back? 🤔

@ZodiusInfuser @pimoroni Also - this is a great demo of the pico explorer. I'm seriously tempted to get one now. Would be awesome to demo PID tuning using graphs on that screen.

[Lance Robson @lwr20]

@ZodiusInfuser @pimoroni Awesome. I'm trying to do something very similar with pololu gearmotor/encoders and I've managed to get as far as proving that micropython+interrupts is too slow for encoder monitoring. PIO was going to be my next try :)

Just a quick reminder. Applications for #PiWars 2021 at Home close on Monday, 12th October. That's just under a MONTH AWAY! :-)
It would be delightful if you didn't all leave it until the last minute! :-D

@ZodiusInfuser @piofthings @davejavupride Thank you for catching that :)

@fasaxc @tsunamino And in a case with remarkable parallels, in the early 1990s, automated telephone exchanges were allegedly hacked to redirect calls from one business to another:

@alister_ware @piofthings Some do, some don't. I know apple's facetime was at one point basically SIP (but with enough mods that a normal SIP client couldn't connect - e.g. it didn't use REGISTER)

The reason for using http(s) is that its the one protocol that you can be sure works everywhere.

@piofthings @davejavupride Yep, that's what the article I linked describes :)
