General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I'd like to ask what OS it's running and also ask you to bear in mind what the correct answer is on this particular platform.

I don't know what to ask specifically but can you talk more about the project or like anything cool that isn't mentioned in the article? I'm an undergrad at a U.S. Uni and we have a supercomputer(cluster I think?) but everything is new to me and I would like to learn more.

The article doesn't really explain. Isn't this just a computer that belongs to the university or is this actually got something to do with the government.

The government fronted £225M for it. Therefore it's being seen as a national resource that's located in Bristol where they've built previous machines like this.

How machine time is allocated would be interesting to know. Whether it's only an academic resource, or if it's available to other organisations?
