Check out api.tfl.gov.uk which should have everything you need for London in a more structured format.

Also a great teaching language, as used at London Imperial College Electrical and Electronic Engineering dept. in the early 00s. Gave you lots of power but not too much, and enough rules to force you to learn without doing mad things. I have fond memories. And I miss the compilation speeds!

The problem is people buying cheap devices that skirt or fake existing battery quality regulations. There would surely be a higher number of people making that kind of purchase if they were to be allowed on UK public roads.

I can’t see how anyone would be made safer by decriminalising scooters - either charging them at home or out on the roads.

Also you can mostly still click straight though to the image file itself, a feature which I believe Google removed at the request of site owners.

There are plenty of tests available since then, we picked some up recently. This was a temporary blip, if anything. You can see the testing rate on the gov dashboard [0] and it hasn’t really changed enough to account for the fall in cases.

Sunshine is the other big variable. Most fruit will only get sweet during ripening if it's receiving enough sunlight. This is why red grapes are seldom grown in northern latitudes - their dark skin blocks sunlight and prevents them from sweetening during ripening.

Article is from 2015. Should this be added to the title?

It’s not in particularly common usage anymore though, if at all.

I'm guessing they don't do this voluntarily because they've seen how the music industry had its revenues eroded by Spotify/iTunes (where mostly the user can pick one and get pretty much everything). They're probably ignoring the fact that music piracy is presumably lower than ever because of this.

Was hoping someone would say this. Times by 8 divide by 5 is super easy. And easy to reverse when you’re doing km to miles.

A lovely tribute - and please take this as constructive criticism nitpick - but it would be even better if the Readme was in markdown so that GitHub would render it correctly on mobile.

Our build system very much needs to be on-premises for the foreseeable future.

Yes I got that impression. Azure DevOps wouldn’t be the right solution for us unfortunately.

It’s nice to see the .NET Core team hitting on the same solution as we are heading for internally for our multi-repo builds - the “dependency flow” with Maestro sounds very similar to what we intend to do with propagating latest NuGet package versions to consumers via PRs, then auto-merging those PRs if all checks pass (and the repo owner has opted into this, of course).

Will the .NET Core team open source this tooling I wonder?

For the TfL API, have a look at https://api.tfl.gov.uk/. You can also get GeoJSON line strings of the bus stops (or other modes of transport!) if you’re interested.

Could be! It’s an emotional moment and not a particularly nice place to wake up. But there’s definitely something at the back of your mind telling you something fairly awful happened. Of course your mind knows this anyway - you know you had surgery and have the scars - so it could all be an illusion.

Even if you don’t wake up during surgery, it feels like there’s an imprint of the trauma. I had a very long operation and by the time I came round I was in pieces emotionally, with no clear idea of what had happened but still a deep sense of dread. On some level it felt like my body knew what had just happened.

JetBrains Rider is a significant productivity upgrade to Visual Studio, especially when working with a large solution.

You can learn to type very quickly on a touchscreen keyboard and work within and be helped by the autocorrect. If you’re typing a couple of sentences why does it even matter that you’re not up to full keyboard typing speed? Sure, if you’re typing an essay, but why would you be doing that on your phone anyway?

To get round the paywall for WSJ, click the “web” link next to the article link above, then the first result.

They admitted to making a trade-off that would throttle performance with older batteries so that the phone wouldn't shut down when the CPU did not receive enough power. Turns out that trade-off was interpreted quite badly by some consumers who apparently would have preferred a phone that stayed as fast as the day they bought it, but instead crashed without warning with poor battery health.

What's going on with the salary disparity between US ($100k) and UK ($50k)?

This is more of the same inglorious British Government tradition of being willing to sell anything to anyone, provided they've got the cash.

As a useful public resource, it could be. Along the lines of ICANN?

Glasshole meet Snaptwat.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned GitKraken yet (gitkraken.com). Cross-platform and beautiful. Edit: oh and free!

An app without tethering would be great, I agree.

But to save space on your phone, it's easy to turn off automatic storage of media, on iOS this is under Settings > Chats > Save Incoming Media. I've had it turned off for a long time to stop my camera roll filling with meme pics.

We also manage our collections in git, but merging is horrendous. Have you found any good workarounds for this? For example, often you don't know a collection has changed, because Postman doesn't reload it from disk automatically...

We also <3 Postman on the Transport for London API team, and have added the button to our documentation. For now you can grab it from our blog... blog.tfl.gov.uk
