An absolutely essential thread from Mark, who very much knows what he is talking about

Bring your monorepo down to size with sparse-checkout Git 2.25.0 includes a new experimental git sparse-checkout command that makes the existing feature easier to use, along with some important performance benefits for large repositories.

Kinda with sparse-checkout. See git-scm.com/docs/sparse-... but this GH blog post explains it in a more user friendly way: github.blog/open-source/...

Referring to the original judgement - presumed to be fairly uncontroversial - the appeal to this which is the published judgement is the one with the novel view on clinical decision making.

It is very much a published judgment - linked in the first paragraph: www.judiciary.uk/judgments/le...

I just want someone, anyone, to write down in plain English (ideally from the perspective of the service user) how this works; what it proves*; how it proves* it; what it will improve, and what some of the likely shortcomings might be. That's all. For some peculiar reason, this never happens.

💯 though caveat to my original that was more in relation to London recruitment specifically - your point still being completely valid. Also don't get me started on RCs being based in London...

I have challenged them on this in the past and the pathetic excuse is: but to have a competitive "compensation package" and attract the best staff we have to do this.

Some will be exposed to medical negligence and malpractice claims some won't. Some will be able to work in some Ivory tower depts. and some won't. Most of all there will be disparity in the minimum quality of care provided by those with an ICM CCT.

Nothing to discuss. Absolutely farcical - if you are using (or expected to use) USS diagnostically you need formal credentials and governance processes. Seems to be pandering to varied provision in training...

In frustration, the Russians decided to push their luck. They informed Romania that a transport plane would shortly be entering their airspace, permission or not. “You could do that.” The Romanian Defence Minister, Victor Babuic told Russian Foreign Minister Ivanov over the phone. “Of course we would be obliged to send up an aircraft to intercept your aircraft.” Babuic pointed out that in such tense situations, accidents often happen. He couldn’t guarantee that the pilot wouldn’t mistakenly shoot the Russians down. “Of course this is a crime.” Babuic said, apologetically. “He would be prosecuted under our law, and he would be sent to jail for seven years.” He paused for effect. “But he would also be a national hero.” He added, thoughtfully. The warning worked. No further attempts to reinforce the Russian contingent at the airport were made.

Okay as the original publisher is long since gone, here is a version of the (award winning at the time!) thing I wrote on the Pristina Airport incident back in the day.

Note Putin's role. Also worth it for this bit of sassiness by the Romanian Foreign Minister.

Absolutely continue to be delighted with my ~3y old @frame.work 13 laptop. Managed to break my fingerprint reader (dodgy USB electronics from AliExpress 🤦). Painlessly ordered the replacement part and fitted it now good as new. Haven't owned any other laptop that this would have been possible on.

Latitude and Longitude?, OS Grid reference?, or the most similar Open Location Code/ Googles Plus Codes - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Lo...

GitHub - apenwarr/atlogin: An OIDC provider that logs in with ATProto An OIDC provider that logs in with ATProto. Contribute to apenwarr/atlogin development by creating an account on GitHub.

No. But if you do go down the manual route @apenwarr.ca has made github.com/apenwarr/atl... that does the OIDC for BlueSky/ATProto live instance at atlogin.net

Still wondering. Particularly the "safety and security" section.

TIL this is not the first time a Nobel laureate has given their medal away. The last was Knut Hamsun (1920 Nobel Prize in Literature) who gave his medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels in 1943.

I think this comment summed things up quite well and used the analogy of family. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4660...

Yep. It's also a bit disingenuous to suggest that Grok/CSAM is the primary reason for removing him. It is but one of many. But being a fascist and (neo)Nazi is fairly close to the top of the list.

Once again I would very much like to get off the ride/this rock/timeline now.

👋 from downstairs 🤮

Sure, but you might get "Grinched" for playing Christmas songs before the start of December...

Also massively "out of touch/ doesn't know the price of milk" vibes. Most people who aren't crazy (or from certain medical speciality stereotypes) and considering switching from car to bike want an ebike. Unless you are buying from AliExpress (not on scheme) cheap is still >£1k

With a silver coating? Remember there is a need to make sure these are IPC compliant.

I approve. Excellent stopgap while waiting for a EHR that surfaces key information well enough that it intuitively makes sense not to repeat it by ctrl-c & ctrl-v. Should only need to remain in place for the average duration of any NHS "temporary fix"...

Garbage in, garbage out: Workshop at SDinGOV 2025 - Effortmark Caroline reports back on an interactive workshop in which participants shared their experience of measuring error rates and data quality

In today's episode of #FixTheForms, I've finished writing up the workshop on #ErrorRates and #DataQuality that I ran #SDinGOV

Extra thanks to @pixlz.com for help with prep - sadly, she couldn't make it due to a family emergency

Yup. Though not just AWS but AWS us-east-1 specifically. Seems AWS itself is dependent on that region.
