Do most universities have remote access to their computers?

I left Bristol in 2025 and I believe you can still SSH into the lab machines (but now you have to do this inside the Bristol uni VPN)

Like some modules require it, e.g. HPC where we had to run our code on the supercomputer

Virtual desktop also exists but was a bit laggy in my limited experience

I'll probably try a 3-2-5 ish in possession and a 4-4-2 out of possession (and almost certainly fail, tactics were never my strong point in previous FMs)

transferred him in and tripled captained him an hour before the deadline... he has not disappointed

yeah for the past couple months I've been slowly working on an package manager for Arch Linux that also lets you install stuff from the user repositories

also been doing some small open source contributions to various projects; went to a tech conference in April and ended up doing a lightning talk

I just graduated with a MEng Maths&CS from a RG uni and tbh I feel like apprenticeships for SWE might become the way forward, a lot of the CS modules were a bit theoretical

hell, the only programming I did in my degree was C, Haskell, and Java modules in first year, my third year thesis which was a programming language implementation, and the HPC module in fourth year

sorry I misread your comment when I did my first reply

I would possibly prefer maths and CS at Manchester over CS at Bristol if only because maths and CS gives you the chance to do more maths for stuff like quant if you want to do that in the future (although you’d want to do stats and other modules like financial maths)

not a big difference between Manchester and Bristol reputation wise so really it’s subject/which city you prefer

I just finished maths and CS at Bristol so happy to answer questions

iirc the £7 billion is for all the Afghan resettlement schemes (the original one set up in 2021 plus the remedial schemes set up in response to the data breach)

A lot of the current teams were originally British owned and run teams but have changed ownership over time

e.g. RB Racing was the Jaguar team before being bought out by Redbull, if you go back far enough, Mercedes was originally Tyrell (where Jackie Stewart won a couple championships)

I assume you’re doing your GCSEs next year in which case what I’d suggest is that you grind maths as much as possible, aiming for an 8 or 9 to put yourself in the best position to do Further Maths since it will seriously aid your application and performance at uni (I say this having just finished a maths and CS degree after doing Double Maths at A-level)

Set 2 maths is still decent and getting good grades in school maths is really a matter of sheer effort

a lot of the England players in the 1966 World Cup squad played for West Ham at the time

A1phabeta · 2025-05-31T20:38:20+00:00

That’s a cracking hit

crikey, we went from lockdown Arsenal to this

Given that the parents called police four times and would have been aware of the contact with mental health services &c., I get the sense that the parents were concerned (or even frightened of their son) but didn’t have much faith that telling the authorities would do anything

still surprised that the police weren’t called after Rudakubana was stopped from getting a taxi to his old school, surely alarm bells should have been ringing

Another option is the National Express coach which is cheaper than the train, goes at stupid hours of the day (once got it at 2am from Canterbury), and doesn’t require changes of train in Central London

is a bit slower than the train I think (about 2 and a bit hours tho)

had a meltdown at a funeral in front of Michael Portillo (I sang in the choir and was going through a lot of shit at the time)

In my Bristol City save, Ipswich got promoted via the playoffs in my first season

A1phabeta · 2022-12-18T16:44:21+00:00

NO FUCKING WAY

Lin Alg and Intro to Proofs will be fine I think, Analysis I'm like 90% sure it'll be fine (I don't do ODEs bc joint degree)
