Climate crisis wipes out EU's economic growth.

Brutal summer set to cost EU economy €180 billion this year — equivalent to 1 % of GDP, which is all the growth expected in 2026.

“Every year adaptation without mitigation is a year borrowed against a hotter baseline.”

"Imagine you’re an Olympic athlete. You set out to sprint from Clapham to Balham. You know if you take the bus, it will be faster. But you also know that the point was never being in Clapham or Balham. It was the strength, the speed and knowledge of your body that you gained.

A student’s essay on Macbeth has no value as a product. It’s what you learned in the reading and writing – the swiftness and resilience and suppleness of thinking you built – that was the point.

Ukraine is sending fire trucks to France.

Let me rephrase that: The country which is fighting Russia for all of Europe is now also fighting forest fires — in France — while the ballistic missiles are raining down on Kyiv.

More 502 preventing me doing #FreeBSD stuff due to #LLM scraper abuse. This pillaging of the commons means LLMs are *not* neutral tech! So burn it down with 🔥

Look folks the genie is out of the bottle. The genie went from $20/mo to $200/mo. The genie is spending $8 for every dollar it makes. The genie is reactivating every coal power plant it can. The genie needs 60% of your town's water. The genie is hiding $1.65 trillion in debt. But it's out of the bottle! The genie is out of the bottle folks.

Hi, I’m a seasoned engineer with 25 years of experience. I’ve got experience in data engineering with high volumes of data, some ML, lots of AWS and IaC,some security.
I’m used to managing and communicating choices and trade offs to implement customer focused solutions, and running them in production.
(FWIW I also sew and grow vegetables)

I’d like to work for a company looking to make a positive environmental impact on the world.
