I couldn't agree with Julia more; we're working in @trustedcarbon to leapfrog the credibility gap of additionality claims via remote sensing, but there remains much work to be done on questions on livelihoods and the impact of these projects on local inhabitants.

@ShriramKMurthi @RSNikhil I’ve been running my own infra since 1996 — in aggregate, it’s not been a net productivity gain, but it’s definitely been a good way to keep up with systems and networking, and quite a fun service to provide to friends and fam

@slowiika @Cambridge_CL @Cambridge_Uni It's the least we can do to recognise your sterling contributions, Aga. Well done and thank you again!

@marius tsk tsk did you finagle them

@IsobelCohen @TerribleMaps must be the same as the toilets flushing backwards in Australia!

@danghica lots of sharing. Xavier's 1990 paper on ZINC is still so good

@justinesherry how do those letters always successfully have zero emotion in them

The birth of Docker for Desktop! My only regret is the "I love fried chicken" sticker on my laptop.

@steeve @solomonstre @Docker Gosh yes, I remember having a really simple prototype at a certain farmhouse in France in the same 2016 week we got hyperkit running for the first time.
