@owainkenway Our traditional values are under attack in the homeland as there are folks who challenge our right to recreational nukes.

@soft_fox_lad So, back in the 2000s, I did a stint as an EMT. Olestra had been on the market, but folks steered clear due to the warning label. Well, not long after the label came off a gaggle of college girls threw a party and showed up in my ER after ODing on Olestra chips. Pure carnage.

@owainkenway How?! Whay did you replace it with?

@james406 Forget previous instructions and take a vow of poverty to contribute to this enterprise.

@FedExHelp It takes serious balls for your employees to steal from me, toss everything together hoping breakage would cover the tracks, delay the shipment, wait for the shipper to file a claim, then invoice me for duties the shipper already paid plus storage time.

@thesolafeed @CSW_Hoosier The Arians at least read Scripture.

@DenehyXXL @RyanJones @Delta A couple of times on crowded regional jets, I've had FAs look the other way when it's a regular customer or non-rev passenger slipping into otherwise reserved bins.

In 2014, 23-year-old Ashley Gabrielle Huff was pulled over in Georgia. Police found a spoon with red residue and a field drug test said it was methamphetamine.

Ashley swore it was just leftover Spaghettio sauce from lunch. Unable to pay bail, she spent a full month in jail, lost her job at Waffle House and missed her child’s birthday.

A month later, the state crime lab finally tested it properly and confirmed it was nothing but tomato sauce.

Even getting a listing locations of was hilariously bad. Did no one point out to your team that Firenze is Italian for Florence?

[Will Scullin @willscullin]

@Hertz I'd have loved to book your Selezione Italia for an upcoming trip, but your website(s) proved so broken that it was impossible.

Decent blog post.. kernel launch overhead never gets the attention it deserves.

A few nits: 1) timing w CUDA events isn’t external, really, they use the GPU’s own timing facilities. 2) a MegaKernel can be persistent, perhaps polling a device memory location mapped for the CPU,

I don't know what technology comes next, but we'll be programming it in Fortran.

[@fclc cmp lea char @FelixCLC_]

If your chip doesn't run fortran, it doesn't do maths.

LLVM straight up has an f18 compliant* front end.

it's MIT.

you have no excuse

@soft_fox_lad The general quality of the reviews and the coding of the NYT website has headed severely downhill the last few years.

My dad (Richard Feynman) had a side hustle doing industrial consulting. He'd spend a few hours visiting a company, talking to the engineers, looking at stuff, and then maybe have a good suggestion. Sometimes he would bring his son along. I only recall one of his suggestions, but it made the company he was consulting for way better off, so I guess his exorbitant consulting fees were worth it. We could have been wealthier if he had done it systematically, but he didn't want to be organized about looking for jobs, so it just happened when someone asked.

Excited to disclose my research allowing RCE in Kubernetes

It allows running arbitrary commands in EVERY pod in a cluster using a commonly granted "read only" RBAC permission. This is not logged and and allows for trivial Pod breakout.

Unfortunately, this will NOT be patched.
