It's ridiculous when they do this. Like anyone is going to volunteer to get off.

"We believe he is corrupt" . Ha. Based on what? On the flip side I believe Parish is incompetent - and there's actual evidence for that.

I wish I'd watched it as a 33-year old, as a married 45 year old it gave me restless nights and an existential life crisis!

Copy from people who have already done them. Lambeth Councils is excellent for example.

Out of the two, in your situation, I'd probably go for Nottingham. A little nearer to London and with a better city centre (that's being redeveloped). Not as hilly so easier for cycling. You could get an apartment near the river Trent.

Getting to LHR from either is a bit awkward tbh. You (obviously) need to cross London. But there's Manchester, Birmingham and East Mids airports all easily accessible which may fly to where you need?

No worries. When writing terrabytes of files I was after every little speed gain I could find!

For context I was processing global raster flood maps. 6 maps per country at 30m resolution. Was really challenging. Spark was rubbish at doing it in a distributed manner. I ended up using my databricks cluster as a kind of "single node" machine (and it also kept crashing due to memory issues)

Hmm it was a while ago. Yes I might have done. I know I started using /tmp but ended up using /local_disk0 instead. I think the read/writes were quicker.

Been doing this exact thing with raster data. You just can't write it to the mounted azure storage. Doesn't fail, but no output is produced. Have to write to /tmp then copy to container. I'm using data bricks daily, but it's lacking a bit for geospatial so far.

Quite interesting. Looks like it'll basically be a table in cafe or something. How an earth can it be free drinks for £5.
Aside, Cambridge Street Collective always has space, plugs, WiFi, and it's £6(£8?) for unlimited coffee.

Tell you what, I really hate snow, but the way it effectively removes cars from our neighborhood is amazing. It's a lovely quiet area suddenly. Everyone says morning as you pass each other. Kids walk safely down the street playing.
