You say "bye" first! - no, you say "bye" first! - how do you know when to close the connection? Dr Richard G. Clegg of Queen Mary University London talks us through this frustrating network problem. nb As some eagle-eyed commenters have spotted, Richard meant to say FIN FIN/ACK ACK for the shut down sequence.

Matched to AI Control Problem

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
