Related: you can just decide to do a quick and dirty pan version of a Brandy Coq-Au-Vin on a Thursday. 🤤

Maintain that the two best steps to elevate cooking are:

Learn how onions and garlic work with, and independent of each other

Learn to add wine/brandy.

Both those together allow you to make some absolutely lovely sauces for any protein, veg or not.

Pun of the day: I don't ask birds for their advice on any big purchase, because they just choose the cheep-est option

I need to stay off Kickstarter for my wallet's sake. It's starting to feel like when Massdrop was actually interesting to look at.

Wow, workshops are now included in the #SC25 technical program registration. This is incredible; workshops are an invaluable place to have focused, deeply technical discussion and build community with a high concentration of like-minded individuals.

What an honor to start the #IWOCL conference with my keynote talk! Nowhere else you get to talk to so many #OpenCL and #SYCL experts in one room! I shared some updates on my #FluidX3D #CFD solver, how I optimized it at the smallest level of a single grid cell, to scale it up on the largest #Intel #Xeon6 #HPC systems that provide more memory capacity than any #GPU server. 🖖😃

Pun of the day (in honor of the turkey I saw): I've stopped speaking with turkeys -- they're just too fowl mouthed

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wonders about things like this in the middle of the night - Why are programs in #HPC called "codes" and not "code"?

Hey engineers!
Any leads for #OpenSource #CPP #software that uses C++ StdPar parallelism as their (main) parallelization scheme?
Would be quite interested in learning about such apps and domains where that is used.

#HPC #DataAnalytics #DataScience

I just saw the #CfP from the #ICPP2025 conference. The thing I wonder: Why are some of these CfPs posted only about 3-4 weeks before submission deadline?

Pun of the day: I think they should ban shows about brass woodwind and high-pitched string instruments. Nobody needs to see more sax and violins on TV!
