sorry legend, but bad take :(

Interestingly, swapping out my rather bad procedural way of generating accessible room assignments for an integer programming formulation of the problem has resulted in significantly better use of rooms, and no illegal placements!

Eyeballing - We've had 8 years of business investment 15-20% lower than it was set to be. Eight years of missing £30bn a year. We might now have an economy with £250-300bn more economically useful stuff. GDP 2-3% higher. More revenues. And all the other effects!

....at school. Not earning money from it, but honing your skills while also doing a public good :)

(Not sure what that ramble was, but I hope some amount of sense is extractable from it!)

....isn't really explored. Sure, it's not enterprise-like Java code that uses every design pattern uncle bob ever wrote about. But it's still vital software maintenance and often requires the more nerdy stuff that students may often question. I guess it should be what volunteering was like.....

....not only is it the stewardly thing to encourage, but it provides a great set of skills. I feel a potent issue in CS academia is the whole employability argument - i.e that universities should primarily exist to produce software engineers. But there's a whole world out there in OSS which...

....so it remains important that C is still taught. While it would be unwise to treat academia as the perfect pipeline for producing more OSS maintainers (for similar reason to the "teach every kid to code" issue), I think universities should absolutely try to push students towards OSS maintenance..

You probably get this a lot, but Nightswimming is a gorgeous song. I never listen to it and not get touched by its beauty. You should all be proud.

That being said, I'm certain that both friends and instrument shop employees have long grown tired of it being my go-to piano thing to play :)
