A great @cpdme webinar this evening with @DrMikeFarquhar on “why we (still) need to talk about fatigue”. Maybe it's a good time to re-plug these posters, produced by @EastEnglandAmb based (with permission) on @Assoc_Anaes #fighttfatigue resources.
So incredibly proud of the team that have put hundreds of hours of hard work into helping make this event so successful. Months of planning, weeks of prep and volunteers and staff all working together today for the benefit of those who needed us most. Amazing job everyone!
Our teams are ready at the @CardiffHalf. Give us a wave if you see us. And don't forget to tag us in your photo's @sjacymru.
Good luck everyone!

What do people with smaller teams use for roadmap and idea tracking (B2B products)? We used Aha in a previous place but it very much feels like overkill for the current team/product. Mainly I want customer-facing idea portal and some roadmapping through to Jira for the dev team.
Today started at 4am. This was my office today event managing the @SJACymru medical cover for the Cardiff Triathlon. Absolutely awesome team out there looking after competitors and public some in scorching heat. #mysjacday

In Python, variables & data structures don't "contain" objects: they "point", "bind", or "refer" to them.
This is an important concept that's both easy to overlook and hard to internalize.
(Thread) 🧵
Note: I'm treating value & object as synonyms. Same with variable & name.

ALT A diagram with one box labeled "Variable Land" and another labeled "Object Land". In "Variable Land", there's "numbers", "numbers2", and "name". In "Object Land", there's a list of numbers and a string. There is an arrow pointing from numbers to the list and an arrow pointing from numbers2 to the same list. The variable name points to the string.

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?"
As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.
Well, a large part of the tech community and some big names (Stephen Fry for one) I follow has either left Twitter or added to their social media apps by signing up to Mastodon. What is it? mjcarty.com/2022/11/12/masto…

These are the actions of a Govt that knows its time is up…
- Full on raid of the public purse
- Enrich their donors as much as possible in time left
- Leave the treasury and national debt in the worst possible state for new Govt to sot out
Criminal.

Word of the morning is ‘thole’ (14th century): tolerance and forbearance, as towards other people’s feelings and points of view.

Quite amazing… Hidden for decades, the feeder canal under Churchill Way finally sees the light. (Photo via Cardiff Days Gone any Fakebook group.)

**A NOTE TO TORY MPs THIS MORNING**
The #ECHR has nothing to do with the #EU or #Brexit and was the brainchild of #WinstonChurchill.
RT SO THEY DON'T SPIN THIS...
An hour of sitting down and working out the design and flow of a complex thing (and complex varies depending on skill) is 10x better than just diving in to a whole day of writing and rewriting code and results in cleaner, more readable and logical code.
This tweet this morning made me stop and think about this. I've spent the last decade and a bit working in communications and there are ways to solve this. So, a thread on how to make hybrid meetings work.

In all these sizes, you can find equipment to help that will make life easier. But realistically, communicating effectively over video requires discipline and a culture of inclusivity and embracing of the tech.
