Lad o' pairts. Big Data geek/consultant. Free Software literally lets me make a living, so obviously a fan. #mefite
Amateurs practice until they get it right.
Professionals practice until they can't get it wrong.
@miramarco Reasons to be cheerful?
CloudFormation is terrible and AWS has no idea how to name things. #LongDay
In case you're wondering, #MeFites are members of this site:
A bunch of us joined Mastodon last weekend after the twitter boycot. Unlike most other MeFites who joined, I've never had a twitter account.
@afabulous I would mention the explicit numbers - "from four to two weeks" (in addition to suggestions above)
Tried eating locusts for the first time today. Pretty good tbh, will wait to see if it becomes economic for regular diet.
Some of my #interests
#datascience is something I know about, but
#bigdata is my job, working with
#hadoop . I lived in
#Russia for many years before returning to
#Scotland where I'm finding my feet, having
#beer and trying to improve my health by
#running 5k and 10k races.

This picture is more terrifying than any terror attack. https://mastodon.social/media/Oab1Ov3sVToY2o6t-iA
The fucking Terrorist-Authoritarian complex continues. Manchester seems to be doing a good job of standing strong. You don't bomb kids.
@Marzanna name/shame ! I'm cis, but I don't want to work with people that stupid
@Siphonay You should try eating avocado! 💰 💰 💰
Scientists have yet to fully understand the 🥑 💰 relationship, but you could be a valuable data point.
@Daphna I spent a long time trying to get Magento themes to look good when the word "купить" in Russian was so much longer than "buy" in English.
@crecca Fluent Russian, thinking that democracy was going to take over and make everyone rich any day now (10 years ago).
It's been a huge gift in my life, even if the people are still poor, leaders still rich, economy still crap.
@Frankenbeans Absolutely! My logic is more that I'm not at all bothered about coming second as long as we're racing in the right direction.
@Frankenbeans Nothing would make me happier than to see Europe and the USA competing in terms of freedom, democracy, and welfare of the population.
TBH, I'd love to see that become the new space race and for Russia and China to beat us to total freedom and representation!
He was totes happy about fascist defeat in France though! 😁
Spent some of the night talking to a Norwegian dude, older gentleman, who seemed pretty happy with the idea of Scotland as part of a Scandic alliance. Not necessarily EU though.
I could be down with that. EU is great, but it's not the only way to be part of a European alliance. The important thing is to work together internationally and for the good of the population nationally.
The rest is details.
I need to work because I need european monetary trading units to acquire various goods and services
