Man goes to the doctor. Says he's frustrated. Says his Python experience seems complicated and confusing. Says he feels there are too many environment and package management system options and he doesn't know what to do.

Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Just use Poetry + pyenv, which combines the benefits of conda, venv, pip, and virtualenv. But remember, after setting up your environment, you'll need to install build essentials, which aren't included out-of-the-box. So, upgrade pip, setuptools, and wheel immediately. Then, you'll want to manage your dependencies with a pyproject.toml file.

"Of course, Poetry handles dependencies, but you may need to adjust your PATH and activate pyenv every time you start a new session. And don't forget about locking your versions to avoid conflicts! And for data science, you might still need conda for some specific packages.

"Also, make sure to use pipx for installing CLI tools globally, but isolate them from your project's environment. And if you're deploying, Dockerize your app to ensure consistency across different machines. Just be cautious about Docker’s compatibility with M1 chips.

"Oh, and when working with Jupyter Notebooks, remember to install ipykernel within your virtual environment to register your kernel. But for automated testing, you should...

"Professor Python! I was just wondering if you had some form I could fill out to comment on the quality of your classes? I had some feedback, you see..." Ferdinand was wired with the audacity of a dying star, and could forward his feedback without so much as a blink of an eye. he pulled out a small, folded paper, the size of his palm. upon setting it free, it unfolded exponentially (comedically), little square upon little square of neat, 4 mm sized text.

"you see, as you are among the best shots in the academy. your nonchalance could be... well, I have thoughts on your general attitude because it can border on indifference, but i could hardly assume you of all people, indifferent." no breaths. just kept neatly creasing his list the further he went down. "I've also observed that your pacing may affect those who aren't quick teaches. myself, not included of course, but it would not hurt if you bear more mind of the students in the back? they are noble. it would behoove them to..."

two minutes of mind numbing minutes go by.

"and finally."

"I believe it would benefit us all if you joined the Black Eagles as a faculty member. have you ever considered it? the other day, I was watching your form and thought to myself—goodness be. you trim down all movements to emphasize the tension and taut of your back muscles and—"

It's miraculous, really, how this guy strings together all of those sentences without a single gap long enough to offer a 'no' or 'stop', let alone 'what the hell are you talking about'. Python simply gapes slightly while watching the paper unfold crease by neat little crease. He's been subjected to spirited, long-winded lectures on his behavior before—of course he has—but it's one thing to hear it from a friend of many years. To get this sort of treatment from this foppish little carrot-top he hardly knows from Anri is… Well. He's already tuned out somewhere after his attitude was brought up, but presumptuous seems like a good word here. Annoyance is kept at bay largely by keeping his mind elsewhere. Is this what it would be like if Forsyth and Clive had an insufferable child? Is it possible that is where this student came from? If Azama can have a daughter at the age she is, then anything is possible. Probably. Ah, the droning sound in the background of Python's thoughts is gone. The kid decided to take a dramatic pause. The archer blinks slowly, absorbing that baffling offer. He raises a hand to ask for the space to speak. "So you're sayin' that if I switched to your class you'd give me more feedback? Tell me all the ways I could be doin' my job better?" He huffs out a laugh. "I'll pass. Thanks." His boots click with the turn of his heels, intent on making his exit before he learns if there are any more lines to Mister Perfect's extensive notes.

Remembering The Mighty Boosh Through The Lens Of Actor And Photographer Dave Brown

“Come with us now on a journey through time and space,” I heard for the fifth time during a recent binge of the beloved BBC comedy series The Mighty Boosh. The televisual project, which stars creators Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt in various workplaces, is how most fans will remember the Boosh, but the legendary comedy troupe scaled the pages of books, the retro realm of radio and the live stage too.

Like Monty Python, the Boosh thrived on surrealism, but while the former made lengthy strides in religious satire and social commentary, the latter specialised in pop culture references, scaly man fish, talking naan bread and virtually anything Fielding and Barratt could conjure from the colourful cauldron of their unfiltered psyches. Ever awoken from a strange dream and decided not to tell the story? “No, it’s too weird,” you might think. Thankfully, the Boosh never held back.

On the topic of naan bread, I’d like to introduce you to today’s featured photographer, Dave Brown. As well as sporting gorilla garb for his role as Bollo, Brown played several other minor characters, including the deadly Black Frost and, of course, an anthropomorphic naan. While coordinating crimps and marshalling the mayhem as the troupe’s self-confessed “organised control freak”, Brown was never far from his camera. Much to our benefit, he took thousands of photos, documenting the Mighty Boosh’s meteoric journey to the big screen and beyond.

Last week, I had the great pleasure of chatting with Brown to sort through his extensive photography collection and discuss his time as a member of the Mighty Boosh. “I was at university with Noel,” he began, revealing how the Boosh came about in the 1990s. “We lived together at uni and, before I specialised in graphic design, in the course that we did, I was Noel’s partner. He was the copywriter, and I was an art director. We used to write various things and do crazy shit that always got horrendous marks, but actually turned out to be way ahead of its time because it was so ridiculous.”

“We used to be into comedy; Noel always wanted to be a comedian,” he continued. “We were basically comedy trainspotters. And there was a comedy club near where we were in Buckinghamshire called Hellfire Comedy Club. We’d been to see everyone, Kevin Eldon and Harry Hill – all of the greats of that era. Julian was on that bill as a comedian, and me, Noel and Nige [Coan; he and his partner Ivana Zorn conducted the animation for The Mighty Boosh] went to see him do the stand-up and then chatted to him after.”

The students became well-acquainted with Barratt, who told Fielding he had won the Daily Telegraph open mic award. Inspired, Fielding also entered the open mic competition, and there began his first foray into Britain’s comedy underworld. “When [Noel] did that, me and Nige kind of shadowed him through the whole journey, which was extremely stressful. I think Frankie Boyle won it, and I don’t think they have a second place, but I think Noel pretty much came in second.”

Energised by the open mic success, Fielding became involved with the Edinburgh festival alongside Chris Addison, Julian Barratt and Frankie Boyle, among others and eventually began working on the first incarnation of the Mighty Boosh stage show with Julian. “They started realising they were kindred spirits and started writing together,” Brown remembered. “They did Mighty Boosh, which was the first live show. They had met Rich Fulcher while doing a sketch called Unnatural Acts. They liked him and asked Rich to be the zookeeper in their first live show, which won the Perrier Newcomer Award.”

The troupe began to take shape in the late 1990s, a time when Brown was working a steady job as a graphic designer. “I was just living with Noel in Hackney, mucking about and helping them out and getting involved in that Monday night stuff [at the Hen & Chickens theatre in Highbury & Islington], playing music dressed up as different shit. Then I went to Australia to work,” he told me. “When I came back from Australia, [Fielding and Barratt] were writing their third live Edinburgh show [Auto Boosh] and wanted a third person in it because they wanted to do various characters and wanted two people on stage while the other changed into different characters. So they asked me, and I agreed to do that.”

Following the success of Auto Boosh in 2000, Fielding and Barratt were commissioned to partake in a six-part radio series, The Boosh. The show aired in October 2001 on BBC Radio 4 and served as a golden gateway to their popular television adaption, The Mighty Boosh, which aired on BBC Three for three series between 2004 and 2007. “My job varied from helping out with props and playing stupid characters when they needed,” Brown said of his role on the set of the TV show. “I was quite influential in the live direction of it and them two [Noel and Barratt], I was a therapist between those two most of the time [laughs].”

With a fine cast including Brown, Fulcher, Michael Fielding (Noel’s brother), Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry, Barratt and Fielding created a world unlike any other that gave fans a chance to escape. It could be hard to fathom how this silly world of surrealism could offer anything beyond laughter and release; however, in 2020, Netflix removed The Mighty Boosh from its catalogue, citing the use of blackface in episodes like ‘The Spirit of Jazz’ and ‘Jungle’.

As we touched upon this delicate topic, Brown recalled the show’s censorship as a particularly distressing period for the Mighty Boosh group. While Netflix cancelled the show, the BBC decided to keep it on iPlayer, instead issuing a warning that needs to be accepted before proceeding to the stream. “I love the fact that the BBC stood by us; Netflix just pulled us,” Brown said. “You know, you gotta tread so carefully. I’d hate to think that we ever offended anyone. I think most of our characters were so fantastical and based on surrealism and fantasy, based on our heroes. And everything was a celebration of those heroes and of a surrealist, fantastical, dreamlike child angle on all of that. So when you get accused of something so dark, it really hurts; we were all really hurt by it.”

“We always made sure that everything we did was based on fun, humour and silliness and never wanted to offend, upset or alienate anyone,” he continued. “We had so many people [fans] who felt like they were on the fringes of society all getting together because of their love of the Boosh. And we’d have people sending us letters saying, ‘I was suicidal’ or ‘I was being bullied, then I got together with this Boosh community. You’ve saved my life – you’ve improved my life’. We were always getting beautiful letters and feedback from fans. To then hear that we were getting cancelled for being inappropriate, it was like a double-edged sword where you go, ‘OK, times have changed, and we would never write that stuff now.’ But at the same time, there was never any malice.”

Brown added: “We weren’t dressing up or doing voices to alienate a particular race or particular section of society. But if we did offend anyone or if anyone watches it now and is offended, then that’s really sad, and we’re sorry.”

Towards the end of our conversation, I was keen to ask the question on all fans’ lips: “Have we seen the end of the Mighty Boosh?”

“All of us are still very close,” Brown affirmed. “We talk to each other all the time. I talk to Noel more than anyone else, but still, Julian was down here a couple of weekends ago. You know, life becomes life. Most of us have got children now. Rich has now moved from America to Richmond. We all meet up occasionally. We met up before Christmas at a Kim Noble gig, which was incredible.”

“We have a massive following in Australia; hence, this gallery have contacted me and asked me to put these exhibitions on. I was like, ‘Does anyone give a shit anymore?’ And they’re like, ‘Yeah, it’s massive!’ So there was always talk of doing a reunion show or something. But it’s a hard one, you know – I try and think of Noel squeezing back into it. It would have to be relevant to the time. I don’t know how it would be or what it would be, or whether it be as a band.”

Brown then revealed that, beyond the group’s near-constant musical references and sonic tangents in the various live and TV episodes, they had actually put a lot of work into an album. “We went to Electric Lady Studios in New York and recorded a whole album,” he revealed. “Like 25 tracks properly produced in one of the best Studios in New York, and it never got released because of disputes between the American representatives and English representatives. And Noel and Julian had a meltdown over that.”

As well as their huge following in Australia, The Mighty Boosh aired in the US on Adult Swim and dredged a cult following. “A cult following over there is like ten times bigger than a popular following over here,” Brown said.

They weren’t totally aware of the scale of their influence across the Atlantic until they visited on a DJ tour. “We went to New York and LA and did the big Comic Con in San Diego, and it was just fucking insane,” Brown remembered. “The following was mental. We went to the Bowery Ballroom in New York, and we were just meant to be doing a DJ set. But we ended up doing a bit of a live ad-lib thing, finding costumes and stuff because it was sold out. There were queues like four blocks down the road trying to get in, and the Roxy was the same.”

Below, we present a collection of photographs from Brown’s colossal archive, some of which you may recognise; others have been shared exclusively for his feature. The photographs are arranged chronologically, mapping out The Mighty Boosh’s epic journey from 1997 to 2013.

The Reluctant Reunion |M/M| Chapter 5/13

Word Count: 3,815

Link to all chapters: The Reluctant Reunion

Felix drags his body into his house, shuts the door, and immediately sneezes. Sniffling, he drops his keys on the console table. And sneezes again. And again. 

He determines he is ridiculously sick.

Felix doesn’t mind living alone, often finding peace and comfort in the solitude. He loves not worrying about the volume of his TV or having to wear headphones to listen to music and audiobooks. He also now realizes another major benefit of this arrangement. He can sneeze as much as he wants, as loudly as he wants, wherever he wants. 

He stands in the hallway, his right hand braced against the wall, while his left hand fans the air in front of his face.

“HEEH!! Heh Heh Heeeh! 

He feels tears leaking down his face, but wiping them away is the last thought on his mind. He waves his hand faster in front of his face. He bends forward, chest heaving, feeling the itch build and build and build until —

 “HEEEEH-TCHUUUUUUH!”

And barely a second later,

“HAAAAAAAAAAAAH-TCCCHHUUUUUHHHH!”

The sneezes had snapped him forward and he still stands, hands on his knees, trying to regulate his breathing. He’s not happy by that dramatic performance his body just put on. He tries not to think about the mess he’d expelled that had dangled precariously in strands from his nose until landing straight onto the floor. He cleans it up and works on repressing the memory as best he can. 

He grabs his soft, sage green throw from the couch and wraps it tightly around himself and walks to what he, personally, refers to as Reggie’s room. The room, of course, holds more than just his green tree python.  He looks around at his bookshelves lining the walls, his plethora of house plants, and settles into his favorite oversized armchair. He stretches out, still cocooned by the blanket, with his legs on the ottoman. He turns on an audiobook from his phone that he’s listened to several times before and instantly feels himself starting to decompress. He watches Reggie, who, being mostly nocturnal, is sleeping, curled up around his branch. Felix’s own eyes feel heavy at the moment. 

In this state, sleepy and feeling reminiscent after his encounter with Connor, Felix finds himself lost in a memory.

*** One year ago

“Felix, I love you. You know I love you, but can you please get a normal pet? You know, like a cat, or a dog? Or even a hamster? Or chinchilla? Or a fish, maybe? I just… Sweetheart, I don’t get why it has to be a python. Can it just be anything else?” Connor whines, as they sit on the couch with Felix showing Connor pictures of the type of snake he wants to purchase.

“Hmmm, you know, I have considered the possibility of getting a rhinoceros iguana. So, if you’d prefer, I can get one of those,” Felix says, already pulling up a picture of the large, horned creature. “Look, babe! Look at this beautiful boy and tell me you don’t want him in our lives!” 

Connor, nose scrunched, brows furrowed, certainly does not appear in agreement with Felix. “Um, so, it’s just that it’s big. And creepy. God, I hate it,” Connor says, still disgusted.

“Well, Connor, you should be more open minded. At least, with the rhinocerous iguana, we’d only have to feed it vegetables.”

“So,” Connor begins hesitantly, “I almost hate to ask, but what would we have to feed the python?”

Felix smiles. “Well, mice obviously. And rats,” Felix states matter-of-factly, and then laughs as Connor starts gagging.

“I mean the rats won’t be alive, Connor. They get humanely euthanized and are frozen and sold at pet stores,” Felix explains, but upon seeing Connor’s impression, it’s clear the idea of the snake eating a frozen rat doesn't make him feel any less sick at the thought.

“What’s wrong with a cat?” Connor, once again, asks. “I mean, I know you like cats. You literally agreed to cat-sit next week for Shauna.”

“Nothing is wrong with cats. Cats are fine.  But….snakes, babe. Or iguanas! Those are so much cooler than your typical cat or dog.” Felix explains, but starts laughing as he sees Connor’s expression.. “Listen, let’s just see how it goes with Shauna’s cat next week, okay? She’ll be gone for a whole week, so our time with Mushroom can be, let’s say, a trial run. If things go well, I’ll consider getting a cat instead of a snake.”

Connor looks much more hopeful at this prospect. “Felix, I’m going to make sure you have the very best week of your life with Shauna’s cat. Just wait and see. I promise, you’ll see how fun it’ll be to have a cat. Much, much better than a snake.” _____

A week later, Felix finds himself, indeed, having the time of his life running around the living room, dragging a stick with a feather on it across the ground while Mushroom runs after it.  “Connor, I think Mushroom is officially my best friend. I can’t give him back to Shauna. We’ll have to flee the city with Mushroom and find a new friend to replace her,” Felix jokes, looking over at Connor, who is wiping his nose for what must be the fiftieth time in the past two hours. “Are you all right, babe? You’ve been really sniffly.”

Connor clears his throat. Then clears his throat again since the first time evidently didn’t do the job well enough. “I don’t know why my nose keeps running, but I feel fine,” he says, letting out a small blow into his tissues. 

“I hope you’re not getting a cold,” Felix says, frowning, setting down the cat toy. He walks over to Connor, who’s on the couch, and presses his hand against Connor’s forehead.

Connor smiles, but gently removes Felix’s hand. “I’m not sick, sweetie. I’ve told you, I don’t get things like colds.”

“Right, because you’re too manly to catch a cold,” Felix says, rolling his eyes.

“I don’t know what it is, but I just don’t get them. I can’t remember the last time I had one. I mean, I think, maybe it was, like, five years ago. But, even then I’m not sure if it was actually a cold, it was so mild.”

Felix narrows his eyes. “You realize saying things like that will make people hate you, right?” 

Connor laughs, but then quickly pulls a tissue up to cover his mouth and nose.

“Heh’tssshiew!” 

“Bless you! Should we get some medicine? Or soup? Or tea? Or, like, something? I don’t know what sick people like to do,” Felix says, feeling puzzled, having never been in a situation of having to take care of someone before. As for his own illnesses or ailments, he’d just ignore them, continuing on as normal, until they went away.

Connor lets out  a chuckle. “You don’t have to worry about any of that. There’s no n-neeeeeeed heh! No need to do any of that because I’m not sick. I’m just itchy,” Connor explains, rubbing his throat. “My throat is killing me. It doesn’t hurt, but it itches really badly. All over. Even my freaking ears are itching.”

“Hmm….” Felix hums. “Maybe it’s Mushroom. I mean, how much experience, exactly, have you had with cats?” he ask, carefully.

“Hehh’tsshiew!” Connor sneezes, as he wipes his nose, yet again. “I’m not allergic to cats. I don’t have allergies,” he says, stubborn as ever. “I’ve been around cats before. I mean, it’s been, I guess for a while at this point, but I don’t remember any sneezing or sniffling.  I’ve never been allergic to anything.”

“Right. You ‘don’t get sick’ and ‘you’re not allergic to anything. And, yet you’re — oh god, bless you! —” Felix exclaims, as Connor lets out a particularly wet sneeze into his tissue. “And yet you’re sniffling and sneezing like crazy. It’s got to be one or the other, babe,” Felix says, rolling his eyes.

“I’m fine,” Connor repeats, clearly ready to die on this particular hill. _____

By the time evening comes, it is clear that Connor is as “fine” as he is “straight.” 

“Heh’shhiieewww! Heh’tshiew! Heh-tchhooooo! Heh? Hehhhh? Heh! Hehh-T’CHOOO!”

Felix grimaces as he watches Connor lying next to him in bed, appearing as though he’s going to never stop sneezing. It’s only 7 pm, but Connor couldn’t pay any attention to the movie they’d been watching in the living room. The few minutes he could go without a sneeze, Felix would notice Connor’s eyes slipping shut. It was clear Connor was exhausted and desperately needed rest. Felix feigned feeling tired, himself, and begged Connor to come lie down with him in the bedroom to finish the movie. The plan would have gone flawlessly if it weren’t for Mushroom. The fluffy, gray cat trailed right behind him and Connor and jumped right into bed with them. 

 There is a wastebasket next on Connor’s side of the bed that is full to the brim with used tissues since  Connor’s nose is in a constant state of leaking. Felix wouldn’t mention it to him, but no matter how much he blows or wipes, every time Felix looks at Connor’s nose, his nostrils glisten with the mucus he clearly is helpless to keep up with. His nose, itself, is an alarming shade of red. Felix notes that it’s not just the nostrils that are red either — the thing, in its entirety, is red from the very top, all the way down and also appears slightly swollen.

Felix looks over at Mushroom, who’s been nestled into the crook of Connor’s arm for the past hour.

“Connor…. I think, maybe, you should let me take the cat into a different room. I know you say you’re not allergic, but you definitely look allergic.  I mean, babe, there are tears streaming down your face and it looks like you can hardly hold your eyes open.”

“I’m not heh’tshiieeeww! Heh’tshiew! T’shieewww! T’shieww! Hetchooooo!”

“It looks like you’re a bit too preoccupied to finish your sentence, so let me give you some assistance,” Felix begins. “I believe you were going to say ‘I’m not going to keep up this ridiculous facade anymore because it’s painfully obvious that I’m allergic to cats. Like, possibly, severely allergic, even.’”

“I’m not aller-allergiihhhHHH- heh-t’shiew! Heh-t’shiew! Heh-t’shiew!” Connor sneezes, tucking each one neatly into his tissues.

“Okay, babe, again, no worries, I’ve got you. You were going to say ‘I’m not allergic to snakes, so that’s why you and I, Felix, are going to go to the pet store this weekend and pick out a beautiful green tree python,’” Felix says, smiling wide. 

“God, no. There’s no way this week is ending with you getting a snake. The cat is perfectly fine. I think maybe I am getting a cold. That’s all this is. I’ll feel better in a few days,” he determines, but Felix can hear the statement lacking Connor’s typical confidence. ___

A few days later, Connor’s not gotten even slightly better. Felix knows from Connor’s bloodshot eyes and the way Connor is frequently reaching up to scrub at every party of his face, as well as his ears and throat, that Connor’s body is reacting from some kind of allergen. The obvious culprit being Mushroom, who has bonded with Connor and stubbornly clings to him, regardless of how much Felix tries to redirect Mushroom to something else.

They’re sitting on the couch, with the cat, of course, lying on Connor’s lap. Connor’s hands, once again, reach up to vigorously scrub at his eyes. He’d given up on wearing his glasses hours ago and tears are streaming down his face. He keeps one hand rubbing his eyes, while he shifts the other hand to rubbing his nose. Light, little coughs are coming from him every few minutes.

Felix frowns, looking at his boyfriend. “That ‘cold’ of yours really doesn’t seem to be getting any better. How are you feeling?”

“Heh-t’shiew! I’m fine,” Connor says, voice rough, cutting off at the end as he starts to clear his throat with more coughs. “It’ll pass soon,” Connor states, simply.

“Yeah, my guess is on Friday,” Felix can’t resist commenting, since Friday is when Shauna will be picking up the cat.

Connor narrows his eyes. “Yeah, maybe. Since, you know, colds usually last a week. And by Friday, it’ll be a week since my symptoms started.”

“Right,” Connor responds, dryly. “Just for curiosity’s sake, can you indulge me a little, and tell me how you feel when you’re at your own apartment?” Felix asks, since Connor works as an author — and as a freelance editor on the side — and spends most of the day working at his own apartment, then coming home to Felix’s house after Felix is done with work. “I mean, are you still a leaky mess there, too, or….” Felix trails off, sending Connor a knowing smile.

“I’m not a ‘leaky’ mess. I’m not any kind of mess, Felix. And I’m not going to even dignify your question with a response.”

“Right, of course you’re not,” Felix says sighing, feeling exasperated. ___

Later that night, in bed, Connor is a dripping, sneezing, itchy disaster. Any attempt at conversation is immediately impeded by Connor sneezing.

“Hey, babe,” Felix starts, smiling at Connor softly. “You realize it’s okay if you're allergic to cats, right? I won’t get a snake if you really feel that uncomfortable being around one. I’ll be fine with any pet. But, uh, just maybe not a cat because of, well, you know,” he says, gesturing as the very sniffly Connor.

Connor meets Felix’s gaze and the expression there is simply so comically pitiful, Felix almost laughs, but he’s able to suppress it. Connor looks down at the curled up Mushroom on his stomach, sniffles, then sighs. 

“I think maybe, uh… I might agree that it’d be a bad idea to get a cat,” he admits, his voice absolutely wrecked by congestion. 

“Do you?” Felix teases.

Connor is unable to answer — not that a response is necessary at this point — because he is too busy lurching forward into a set of sneezes. Felix, feeling simultaneously concerned and impressed , finds himself counting each sneeze. Connor finally stops after twelve. Twelve consecutive, desperate sneezes.

Connor sniffles, the sounds thick and wet, and lets his body sink further into the bed. “Fine! Just…Ugh, fine. Felix, please, please, get this cat away from me,” he says, sniffling even more miserably than before, and letting small, throat-clearing coughs.

“But, Connor, why?” Felix gasps, feigning shock. “I thought you wanted me to get a cat because cats are ‘much, much better’ than snakes! Why would I take away poor little Shroomy here, then?” Felix taunts. 

“Beecaaauussseee he-heeeee HAHHH-HE’TCHIEW! HE’TCHIIEEWWW! HE’ITCHOOO! CHOO! CHOO! CHOO! T’CHIEW! T’CHIEW! T’CHIEW! HAH’TCHIIIEEEEWWWW-T’CHIEW-T’CHIEW-T’CHIEEW!!”

Felix would love to continue teasing Connor until he admits he was being an obstinate idiot, and is, indeed, allergic to cats. But, unfortunately, he loves Connor and, currently, his sneezes are coming out over top of each other, as though they’re in a fight for which gets to come out first; he’s clearly fighting to get a breath in. So, Felix, deciding to not let his boyfriend die from cat poisoning, sighs, gets up, and walks over to Connor’s side of the bed to remove the poor cat.

“God, Felix, th-thaaankkk heh? Thanks’shieeeeww!” 

— It’s Saturday and Connor —who somehow mysteriously recovered from his “cold” almost as soon as Shauna picked up Mushroom— is driving them to their local pet store. Felix decided to get a fish, since there’d be no risk of Connor being allergic and it holds no risk of being “too creepy.” He’s done research on the types of fish with the longest lifespans and of the best type of tank to buy and is excited to finally look at his options in an actual store. But as he’s watching out the window, he notices Connor is going in a different direction than the pet store they’d settled on.

“Uh, babe, do I need to put the directions in Google maps? You’re going in, like, the completely wrong direction,” Felix says, brows furrowed, as they continue on the wrong route.

“Nope. No need. Trust me, we’re going to the right place.”

Felix narrows his eyes. “Connor, am I becoming a victim of abduction right now? Tell me the truth. Are you about to drive me to a far off location so you can slaughter me?” he asks, only-half joking because where is Connor taking him? Connor’s brows furrow as his eyes flicker momentarily off the road to look at Felix. “You know, this is exactly why I tell you watching true crime is bad for you. But, no, I’m not taking you somewhere to slaughter you. That, honestly, sounds like a lot of effort that I simply don’t have.” 

Felix laughs. “I’m really glad to hear the reason you can never be a serial killer is because you’re too lazy. But, seriously, where are we going? Because it’s definitely not the pet store.”

“All right, Felix, you need to relax, okay? I’m trying to do something romantic and you’re, instead, making me feel like I’ve kidnapped you. Just trust me, sweetheart.”

So Felix did because he always trusted Connor, jokes about serial killing aside.

In the end, an hour long drive later, Felix does find himself at a pet store. But it’s not the one they’d discussed. It’s, instead, a reptile-only pet store. Felix’s eyes widen when he realizes.

“Babe, no, we can’t — you, you hate snakes. And lizards. And iguanas. I’m fine with a fish! You know I’m fine with a fish. I don’t want you to have to spend so much time with something you hate,” Felix rambles, but he feels his heart warm at the thought of Connor giving him this surprise.

“Honey, you’re getting a snake, okay? You deserve a snake. Or a rhinoceros iguana, or whatever else you want. But we’re not leaving until you pick out some sort of reptile, all right? As much as it pains me to admit, you are simply meant to be a reptile dad. It’s my fault, really, when you think about it, for falling in love with you,” he says, sighing. “It was always going to end this way,” he says, shaking his head, looking out the window with an exaggerated forlorn expression.

Felix had felt the excitement bubbling up as soon as Connor started speaking and, now, can’t contain it as he awkwardly maneuvers himself over the center console. He tenderly cups Connor’s jaw before leaning in to kiss him, feeling luckier than he’d ever imagined being.

*** Present Day

Felix smiles as he reflects on that week. Not only had Connor acquiesced to Felix getting a snake, Felix had also found the state Connor was in that week rather endearing. Connor’s 6 '4, muscular frame seemed to have fooled Connor into thinking he was too strong and tough to be taken down by something like allergies. But taken down he was. He’d isolated himself in the bedroom the whole week they’d watched the cat. Even away from the cat, Connor wasn’t safe from its allergic effects. Felix found the sight of Connor sneezing…oddly compelling. He’d seen plenty of sneezes before in his life and never gave them any thought. But watching Connor —who’d sometimes sneeze so forcefully, his glasses would fall off — completely lose himself to his sneezing fits, had often entranced Felix. Felix struggled discerning if he wanted to tuck him under the covers and feed him Benadryl, or kiss him. He’d just been so cute. Connor has always been fastidious and extremely-well put together. This was still evident in the way he’d sneeze in a tissue, every single time, ensuring to wrap the tissue fully around his nose to keep any spray from being released; it was also in how he’d dispose of the tissues into the wastebasket without fail. But there was also a loss of control when he was unable to deny his body’s response to the allergens around him. Seeing him in the throes of an allergy attack was Felix’s first glimpse at any hint of vulnerability in Connor. 

Felix shifts in his armchair, pulling his blanket more tightly around him. He’d wanted to be in this room to be close to Reggie, but hadn’t expected to stay long. But, now, as he feels fatigue settle over his body, he wonders how he’s going to summon any energy to get up. He plucks a tissue from the box he’d brought with him and begins the increasingly difficult job of clearing out his nose. 

The audiobook continues playing softly next to him, but Felix’s attention is elsewhere. Images of how Connor looked in the bookstore flitter through his mind. Connor has always been attractive. His regular workouts lend him an admirable physique and his dark blonde hair is short, but thick with enough texture to give it an effortless style. The glasses he wears— rectangular, with muted brown and amber tones — were picked for functionality with fashion or style being the last thing on Connor’s mind when he’d chosen them. Felix, though, always thought they suited him well and had loved the softness they’d added to his features. This, combined with Connor’s tendency to wear simple, practical clothes made the, otherwise, intimidating man look slightly more approachable. Felix still can’t comprehend what provoked Connor to ever be interested in Felix. When together, Connor stood tall, confident, and incredibly composed, while Felix was… the opposite of all of that. Today, Connor was as attractive as ever and Felix simply can’t stop thinking about him. 

He wishes he could’ve stayed for coffee, though thinking about it now, Felix is sure he would’ve ordered a tea instead, the pain in his throat only getting worse. He’d wanted to talk to Connor, to hear what he had to say, and if maybe, possibly, Connor would apologize for abruptly moving away for no apparent reason white refusing to accept Felix’s offer of going with him. The chances of an apology, though, are probably low considering Connor hadn’t even let Felix know he was back in town. But, then, Felix remembers what Connor had said during the signing. About regrets. And there had been that expression Connor had directed toward him. An expression, almost, of… longing? Felix could easily have misinterpreted, though, since he’d clearly not been at his best. But, then, why else would Connor want to meet with him for coffee? Or stop his Q&A session to check on him in the bathroom?

He wonders if he should text him now. He never deleted his number, having tried several times, but never being able to commit. He considers it as he watches Reggie, eyes only half open, as the audiobook narrator continues on, until he succumbs to the day’s exhaustion and slips into sleep.

Share Your Anecdotes: Multicore Pessimisation

I took a look at the specs of new 7000 series Threadripper CPUs, and I really don't have any excuse to buy one, even if I had the money to spare. I thought long and hard about different workloads, but nothing came to mind.

Back in university, we had courses about map/reduce clusters, and I experimented with parallel interpreters for Prolog, and distributed computing systems. What I learned is that the potential performance gains from better data structures and algorithms trump the performance gains from fancy hardware, and that there is more to be gained from using the GPU or from re-writing the performance-critical sections in C and making sure your data structures take up less memory than from multi-threaded code. Of course, all this is especially important when you are working in pure Python, because of the GIL.

The performance penalty of parallelisation hits even harder when you try to distribute your computation between different computers over the network, and the overhead of serialisation, communication, and scheduling work can easily exceed the gains of parallel computation, especially for small to medium workloads. If you benchmark your Hadoop cluster on a toy problem, you may well find that it's faster to solve your toy problem on one desktop PC than a whole cluster, because it's a toy problem, and the gains only kick in when your data set is too big to fit on a single computer.

The new Threadripper got me thinking: Has this happened to somebody with just a multicore CPU? Is there software that performs better with 2 cores than with just one, and better with 4 cores than with 2, but substantially worse with 64? It could happen! Deadlocks, livelocks, weird inter-process communication issues where you have one process per core and every one of the 64 processes communicates with the other 63 via pipes? There could be software that has a badly optimised main thread, or a badly optimised work unit scheduler, and the limiting factor is single-thread performance of that scheduler that needs to distribute and integrate work units for 64 threads, to the point where the worker threads are mostly idling and only one core is at 100%.

I am not trying to blame any programmer if this happens. Most likely such software was developed back when quad-core CPUs were a new thing, or even back when there were multi-CPU-socket mainboards, and the developer never imagined that one day there would be Threadrippers on the consumer market. Programs from back then, built for Windows XP, could still run on Windows 10 or 11.

In spite of all this, I suspect that this kind of problem is quite rare in practice. It requires software that spawns one thread or one process per core, but which is deoptimised for more cores, maybe written under the assumption that users have for two to six CPU cores, a user who can afford a Threadripper, and needs a Threadripper, and a workload where the problem is noticeable. You wouldn't get a Threadripper in the first place if it made your workflows slower, so that hypothetical user probably has one main workload that really benefits from the many cores, and another that doesn't.

So, has this happened to you? Dou you have a Threadripper at work? Do you work in bioinformatics or visual effects? Do you encode a lot of video? Do you know a guy who does? Do you own a Threadripper or an Ampere just for the hell of it? Or have you tried to build a Hadoop/Beowulf/OpenMP cluster, only to have your code run slower?

I would love to hear from you.

Full Stack Development vs Software Testing: Which Career Path is Right for You?

In today’s rapidly evolving IT industry, choosing the right career path can be challenging. Two popular options are Full Stack Development and Software Testing. Both of these fields offer unique opportunities and cater to different skill sets, making it essential to assess which one aligns better with your interests, goals, and long-term career aspirations.

At FirstBit Solutions, we take pride in offering a premium quality of teaching, with expert-led courses designed to provide real-world skills. Our goal is to help you know, no matter which path you choose. Whether you’re interested in development or testing, our 100% unlimited placement call guarantee ensures ample job opportunities. In this answer, we’ll explore both career paths to help you make an informed decision.

Understanding Full Stack Development

What is Full Stack Development?

Full Stack Development involves working on both the front-end (client-side) and back-end (server-side) of web applications. Full stack developers handle everything from designing the user interface (UI) to managing databases and server logic. They are versatile professionals who can oversee a project from start to finish.

Key Skills Required for Full Stack Development

To become a full stack developer, you need a diverse set of skills, including:

Front-End Technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are the fundamental building blocks of web development. Additionally, proficiency in front-end frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js is crucial for creating dynamic and responsive web interfaces.

Back-End Technologies: Understanding back-end programming languages like Node.js, Python, Ruby, Java, or PHP is essential for server-side development. Additionally, knowledge of frameworks like Express.js, Django, or Spring can help streamline development processes.
