When Boris (?) cut the Foreign office contribution to the world service I thought it was a terrible idea but good old Auntie kept it ticking. This cut compounds on those bad decisions when soft power is one of the few things we have in this world.

It used to be more common. Back in the 90s when I was working in an office we'd often head to the pub for Friday lunchtime and roll in later in the afternoon. Going along for a free lunch and a few beers with visiting sales reps was also pretty common.
I couldn't do it now - the thought of nursing a proto hangover before I've even got home seems insane in retrospect. God knows how much productivity used to be wasted due to work time tipples.
Fair.
Still enjoyed it more for not being a third act CGI slugfest.
Care needs to be taken with big orgs like the NHS to not try and boil the ocean with massive IT systems. Concentrating on open interoperability standards allows for smaller more flexible contracts and the ability to swap out components when needed.
Open source licences would be the ideal default although at a minimum the purchasing org should have a licence that allows them (or subcontractors) to make fixes without being tied to the original vendor.
You would have thought for $33mil a pop they would have some countermeasures. I guess they are still several orders of magnitude cheaper than a jet with an expensive pilot so are more disposable?
Why? Do Ferrari drivers really need to cycle through sound effects to feel as though they are doing it right?
I assume you need fairly sophisticated SAM systems to take out these drones. Are they all coming from Iran? Is this a step up in their missile capability?
The other option is to use VirtIO with Native Context support as a software based partitioning scheme that is relatively lightweight compared to the mdev approach.
Thanks for that - I forgot that it's not as well known as other few software despite being the default virtualization software on most free software distros.
The kernel on GitHub is just a mirror - the primary source is on kernel.org
I really enjoyed GoT so I'm tempted by this. Once you get the hang of the combat it's very satisfying.
The SID chip was such a nice sound engine it's a shame I never had a C64 to hack on as a kid. I started with the ST's crappy YM chip.
