Similarly common in the UK, or at least where I am (Glasgow, Scotland).

Completely normal to say "Tesco's", "Aldi's" etc.

Honestly, as someone who is not particularly pro Apple but bought (and returned) the Vision Pro, I cannot stress enough how much you need to try it out.

The issue with the product is entirely the lack of an ecosystem - the interface is unbelievably polished. The eye tracking & finger touch to click feels absolutely perfect. It really did feel like living in the future.

I returned it because the security policy at my work didn't allow me to pair it with my macbook, otherwise I would be using it all day every day.

The one big problem Renovate brings is when it automerges and breaks everything with e.g. a TypeScript upgrade. It's simple enough to handle and prevent but has required quite a lot of developer education for those who are not particularly frontend-focused in my experience.

Wowee! What an unpleasant response. As both a parent and an employee, I found the article extremely useful and shared it internally at my org. Maybe step back from the computer a bit.

Sidepoint but they're also a complete gamechanger for the elderly and infirm.

My 70 year old, double-ankle replacement mother who I don't remember ever walking very comfortably bought an ebike a couple of years back.

The sheer joy on her face watching her whizz up a hill made me realise just how transformational these things can be.

Twitter only showing a sample of posts for non-logged-in users allowed me to see just how weirdly hung up on "Europeans" that guy is.

I think you may be operating under a misapprehension. The word "progressive" is the one people have taken issue with.

China is many things but progressive is not my adjective of choice (I've spent many years living there).

There's at least one easter egg! use developer --color (sorry, I have a habit of digging through source)

Stunningly beautiful landing page. I would never normally comment on the aesthetics of anything in the dev sphere but that completely blew me away. I'll preorder for sure.

I'd echo the other comment mentioning that a coffee-table version of this would be great.

If anyone's interested in the prompts they're using here, they're viewable via devtools.

Full dump of what was showing on my end here: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/furnivall/aa95e8d9dc330f3...

Sorry - couldn't find a security.txt but thought I should alert you your API is currently vulnerable to prompt injection on at least a few of the fields in the structured JSON you send when analysing the game.

Happy to give more details if there's any way to get in touch outside this thread.

Had a play with this - good idea, well executed and I'll return when you've got more levels!

He's being as helpful as possible, there's no need to go hard on his language like this.

Probably the best on the civil liberties front are the Liberal Democrats (they were pretty good at quashing mandatory national ID cards back in the day, at least).

That being said, they still have a lot of folk angry at them for allowing university fees to be introduced 15 years ago when they were in coalition government (a Tory policy!).

Tsb bank in the UK still do exactly this

I'm someone who was perfectly able to use anki and learn chinese to a decent level with fairly intense combined-type untreated (at the time) ADHD. What you need is a compelling reason to learn (for me, it was the fear of letting down my wife by not being able to talk to her family).

Is this true in a marginal cost sense? I was under the impression most of the environmental impact occurred during the training stage, and that it was significantly less costly post training?

I've come across bitwise shift operators literally once in enterprise webapp world, specifically on this precise problem: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12900504/13238134.

I made a concerted effort to understand the code before I made any effort to adapt it to the repo I was working on. I'm glad I did (although honestly, it wasn't in the remotest bit necessary to solve the task at hand!)

Saw these guys talk at DEFCON this year, absolutely fantastic presentation. It was so powerful and important that I'd actually recommend watching it before pretty much everything else from the con.

I've spent a lot of time in China over the years and most of their tech systems are built on the assumption that only Chinese folk will ever use it. In this case, the vast majority of Chinese people have a 2, 3 or 4 character name ('why would you EVER need 16, silly 老外?')

It's a bit of a 'Foreigner in China' stereotype to whine about how absurdly difficult it is to go to e.g. the bank or a hospital as a non-native because it happens so often.

We've been essentially fully down for approx. 2 hours - since about 12:50pm UK time.

We're a UK Government department, and have been unable to serve any of our pages covered by Azure Front Door since then.

This has probably caused quite a few on-the-ground struggles for our users and caseworkers.

Could it be potentially related to this?

You may be a customer of a customer (e.g. Azure) so you could be affected peripherally via that route.

Agreed. Fish was one of the biggest differentiators in my dev career and am proud to endorse it to everyone!

Is this a potential cause of the current Azure outages hitting western europe? I know DigiCert are used by Azure extensively...

I see you work in the mobile phone industry

I have lived in Glasgow for 32 of my 35 years and if you've not seen anyone 'strung out' here I'd be genuinely shocked as it's a multiple time a day thing (even if you live in the West End or other nice areas).

This is wonderful! You may be the first group to make me actually create a BandCamp login!

Interesting to bring this up - always wondered which way the creative influence went between Monkey Island and Pirates of the Caribbean (if i recall correctly, the game is based off the ride, but the film was allegedly inspired by the game)

This is a lot more risky than doing it on a self-hosted model surely? Do you really want to upload your entire message history to a third party (i.e. not Apple)?
