January 2025 RSE lunch
It was a fun reunion to start 2025 with some of the RSEs at EPFL. Celebrating the birthday of one of our RSEs who prefers vegan food, we united in the Foodlab to have a vegan dish with vegan cookies and vegan water. You were all patient to listen to daddy Linus and Edward telling you stories about the “good old times” - and thanks for chiming in and telling your stories, too!
Here some of the links I found for some the stories we told:
- Inverse square root - look for the wtf comment
- Polish trains designed to break down
- Random number generators - couldn’t find the Doom reference :(
- Every (2**122) UUIDV4 - Explained
- PyO3 - Rust Bindings for Python
- Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish - how to get more money :)
