Time to show off what I've been working on.

ROTOR is my re-imagining of the UK's 1990's era Air Defence Ground Environment (IUKADGE) using live ADS-B data to feed tracks into the system to simulate the detection by various radar heads. Data from E3-D AWACs can also be simulated, fed from XPlane12.

Just knocked an avg of 500ms off an insert of ~1500 rows every 1.5 seconds, just by detaching stale table partitions.

Always remember that Tories/Reform wanted Brexit so that they could ignore rules that everyone else followed. A race to the bottom. Deregulation. A bonfire of *our* rights and protections. Exploitation and consumer risk so that the wealthy and the powerful could grab more wealth and more power.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Look what we can do when we don't succumb to tribal hatred and work for the betterment of mankind instead.
2nd Nov. 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the ongoing human presence off-world.

That is, humans have continuously occupied the ISS for exactly 25 years today.

So if you're <= 24 years old, you've never lived in a world where humans were *only* terrestrial-based.

Biden's mistake was not filling the Supreme Court. History will judge him unkindly for that omission.
If SCOTUS does their job, they will rule that the Constitution does not give the President the power to levy his outrageous tariffs under false narratives…

Last year, it was CrowdStrike. This week, AWS. We are engineering critical social systems that are completely contingent on single points of failure. It’s designed fragility and it produces catastrophic risk—all because it’s marginally more efficient. We are foolishly careening toward disaster:
The CrowdStrike Debacle is a Warning
We have engineered social systems that are hyper-optimized, super efficient, but incredibly fragile. It's a mistake—and unless we fix it, we will careen toward much worse, utterly avoidable disasters.

The world is so complex, and interlinked.

Climate will get worse. More people will need to move. The West is suffering low birthrates and want to prop up their pension systems. Surely admitting immigrants into tax system is a good idea?

I think Angela Merkel knew this. Sadly racism wins again.

Now boasting about giving "Bibi" all the "best weapons" the US had .... and gets a standing ovation.

That's a standing ovation for the murder of tens of thousands of innocent people and Gaza reduced to rubble and a living hell.

Also excellent advice for managing PRs
Excellent advice on paper review:

1. Peer reviewers are volunteers.

2. Map all comments to actions.

3. Address all comments.

4. Focus on improving your paper, instead of arguing.

5. Rarely, and only with strong defense, say no.

6. Don’t take things personally.

7. Avoid recreational revisions.

Happisburgh on the North Norfolk coast, pronounced by locals as "Hazeborough"
What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Trump obviously will not be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize tomorrow.

He will attempt to discredit the Nobel Committee as 'rigged' and eventually announce that he's creating his own version of the awards, with panel members appointed by his administration. He will be the inaugural 'winner' in 2026.
