JuMP-dev

Thanks to having had one more beer than I might normally drink last night, I slept through until 07:00 this morning, which is 12:00 UK time. However, I've thought that I've cheated transatlantic jet-lag before, and then woken in the early hours the next night.

It was warm enough to have breakfast of orange juice and coffee in the B&B's charming little garden, which was a sign that it would be a hot day. However, we were indoors attending JuMP-dev, a workshop for users of the JuMP open-source modelling language. И and I aren't JuMP users, but HiGHS is the go-to open-source optimization software for models built with JuMP, so there were plenty of people pleased to see us. As well as a short but invaluable conversation with one of the leaders of JuMP, I learned more about new uses of GPUs in optimization. I also got to chat with someone who is very interested in our PhD position. 

After the last talk, И and I had a valuable discussion about the prospective PhD student, on a taxi back into the area where we are both staying. I'm now resting, waiting to learn of the venue for food and drinks this evening.
