@will_owen9 It was amazing! The crowd was also more knowledgeable and into the game than pretty much any crowd I've been in before. A great sign for the future

I haven’t gone to Twickenham today as I didn’t want to miss the Wales game - but the atmosphere looks absolutely next level. Twickenham hasn’t looked nearly this alive in a long long time. The FOMO is so real

For instance the "gzip: stdout: broken pipe" errors here: github.com/james-w/minide… They are coming from just running "zcat <file> | head" on a bunch of compressed files.

Seeing programs reporting SIGPIPE errors on github actions when stdout is closed. Doing the same with the same versions locally doesn't show the same errors (presumably they catch and handle the signal?). Any ideas what the difference may be?

🧵 A New Year's Eve tale: June 1990 "Hello, could you tell me when the next train to Birmingham is?" "One moment, ah yes, it's at 1:40." "Brilliant!" "People aren't usually this excited about Birmingham." "I've got a date with Sam, I can't believe it!" "Have fun young man." 1/12

@jdwestby That was about tax. This is about money. And MMT and QE have changed a great deal since. There is also much more to say abiuyt government accounting.

@RichardJMurphy Betty interesting. I enjoyed Joy of Tax and learned a lot. There sounds like some overlap in topics here, what do you see as the key differences?

@WellsLucasSanto How about a Turing test where the test is how accurate the robot is as a judge in a series of Turing tests?

the thought of a reverse turing test is so interesting to me. checking if someone is a human or robot, not by testing for things that only humans can do, but by testing for things that only robots can do.

@pylonfan @forestandwye I think it is telling that her reason for complaining is that “it’s not fair that the rest of us have to park further away”

After interviewing many developers over the last few months I wrote up some interview tips for developers. (Not specifically on answering technical questions, but on preparation and best using the interview time to present yourself) jameswestby.net/tech/interview…
