FFmpeg has been accepted in the EU funded @yeswehack project for security developers to find vulnerabilities.

No thought has been put into funding the volunteers who actually have to fix the bugs for free.

They were never going to be able to give him the pool table. They were broke and had no stock.

Mate from work bought a pool table on sale. Bastards went into receivership two days later. Super dodgy. Might lose the entire price of the table. Worst part is I think if he hadn't asked for them to install he would have got it.

I wonder how Matlab plans to remain relevant with millions of Python developers being churned out of Universities around the world every year?

Currently doing a Python Machine Learning course and we are throwing gigs of data left and right. Each node on the machine I used at uni was 128 MB and we used MPI to shift data back and forth between the nodes.

@Bertrand_Meyer It was superb. Being part of the city was amazing. Very inclusive as opposed to being stick in a stadium.

Not having proper discrimination types sucks. Please get this in asap.

@sophiajturner Congrats. One doco at a time...

This was very common in the UK when I worked there a decade ago. You would go through multiple rounds of interviews and then be ghosted. Only to get a phone call a few months later when the place had won a contract and needed devs ASAP.
