Search engines are good for finding shops, but not individual items. There also aren't many shops that are dedicated to only tall, usually big and tall instead.

I don't know how good AI is at these kinds of tasks, but I can tell you that it's not easy manually, especially in some parts of the world where you might have to factor in shipping/return costs.

I don't think it's completely right. Jira is a task manager, and the task throughput supposedly remains the same, just fewer assignees.

I think these companies should be pivoting to something where tasks/issues are the places you write the prompts for the AI, or augment the prompts that devs use. It's a big shift though.

A Japanese Souffle Pancake might be in the Dark Breakfast realm.

I think Forrest Gump's major quality is an indomitable spirit and an ability to overcome. (War Hero, runs across American, gets the girl)

I'm not so sure it applies to Arthur Dent, who tends to roll from one situation to the next. There is resolve, but it never really rises above.

I think there is similarity in the storytelling, that both characters find themselves in extreme situations, and somehow navigate them despite their own limitations.

My recollection is that the main guy is a highly competent at problem solving, but limited by an inability to work with others.

In some ways similar to Lamb in Slow Horses, though I think Lamb is a very good manipulator of people (he gets others to do what he wants without telling them directly), whereas the Dep. Q guy doesn't engage at all.

The Moto Z was ahead of its time! (it was thinner and had a magnetic battery add-on).

You did have to pay extra for the battery, mind.

I guess that's true, though I don't think you have to launch games through the steam app, but they try to make it convenient to do so.

You can also right-click the game and 'Browse local files' and the game's regular executable is usually right there.

I'm currently playing the Oblivion remake, and launch that through a mod manager rather than Steam (though on Windows), even though the game was installed via Steam.

Some EVs have low rolling resistance tires to increase the range. I think they will wear out faster, especially if cornering sharply.

There was not only no dishwasher, there was literally no space for a dishwasher.

This is quite common for older places in the UK. Some places might have been updated to allow for a dishwasher, but there are probably rules against that in the Barbican.

It does solve the gameplay development use case too. Bevy encourages using lots of small 'systems' to build out logic. These are functions that can spawn entities or query for entities in the game world and modify them and there's also a way to schedule when these systems should run.

I don't think Bevy has a built-in way to integrate with other languages like Godot does, it's probably too early in the project's life for that to be on the roadmap.

The README mentions it uses this library - https://github.com/xdadda/mini-gl.

I think there's some confusion in your comments. The HTML comments aren't a templating language, there's no (or little) post processing when displaying this content.

They're annotations that indicate where a 'block' of content starts and ends.

The JSON data stores some values set by users for a block that can't easily be parsed from the HTML content.

The content is stored as HTML as most content a user creates is static HTML, so when displaying content much of the HTML is displayed verbatim (but without the HTML comments), and then there's only a little bit of progressive enhancement for dynamic content.

I think you're also conflating some terms, like 'themes' and 'blocks', these are two different things and launched years apart.

Not everyone is good at cooking.

I agree. I'd also add the fact that much of the world is experiencing a cost of living crisis, and luxury products are often the first to be cut in difficult times.

This is an unusual point, and one that I've never heard before.

If anything, since veganism started becoming popular, the options in restaurants have increased. There are places that previously didn't offer any or many vegetarian options, and now have more options (Gregg's and KFC are two that come to mind).

black bean burgers and other home-made options not only taste way better

A lot of people making this kind of point, but it's subjective and you have no idea if you're in a majority or not in your preferences.

Haven't heard of it here in Australia yet. Australia has a few brands of its own (Buds and Veef are two popular ones) as well as some of the more global brands, so it's quite a saturated market.

Clegg voted for raising tuition fees, in direct contradiction to the pledges. It was a betrayal and one that's on public record.

Cameron was a disaster. Austerity was incredibly cruel on the poorest of the population, and the UK wasn't exactly a shining light in its recovery from the financial crisis. He led a weak remain campaign and then stepped aside as soon as Brexit became difficult, and the following governments have had to deal with his mess, the covid outbreak and the effects of the war in Ukraine.

So I think you could equally say that the coalition is a root cause of many of the issues of today. That and the lack of any credible opposition for years.

I also noticed the similarity to Knockout. The main difference in the API seems to be the use of a value property vs. Knockout's function call to access the value.

The computed function seems almost identical.

Sounds like something that could be solved by better documentation.

I work for a fully remote company, and better documentation is definitely something I've noticed here compared to on-site roles.

There's one thing that's handy about having it on the front, which is that the phone doesn't have to be picked up to unlock it. It's quite nice being able to read a message on my phone without picking it up from my desk.

But on the other hand, it is definitely more comfortable unlocking it from the back while holding it.

Maybe phones should have both!

There's git push --force-with-lease, which is a safer alternative.

This is really quite an offensive statement, and I can't quite believe I've read this on here.

I just want to mention that what you've written is not ok.

I had the same, travelling from Berlin to Copenhagen. It was a sleeper train and the loading onto the ferry happened overnight, so unfortunately I didn't see it happen. I could hear it happen—it was very surreal to hear train noises, then boat noises then train noise again.

There isn't really a standard at the moment in my opinion, though from personal experience Sketch + InVision are the most commonly used. Figma is picking up a lot of interest. I've never seen a UI designer use Adobe XD.

Skills learnt in one tool should be fairly transferable, so it doesn't matter too much. Just don't use photoshop.

That's an ideal and not actual reality.

Taking London as an example, there aren't many ways to cross London in such a way using commuter rail (ThamesLink currently and Crossrail in the future are probably the only two?). Most people would still use the tube.

That's why 1hr + journeys in London are not uncommon.

(edited to add) London and New York are also much much larger cities than Madrid. It's not really a fair comparison.

The Underground is cheaper and/or more reliable when compared to the national rail network many use to commute into London. Ridiculously so. I think that contrast helps those in London value the Underground. Also the reason many choose to still live where there's a tube line.

It's also worth noting buses are much cheaper than the tube and quite accessible compared to a lot of places, though much slower.

I don't think you need to drill tunnels. That hasn't happened (much) in London, yet there's been a marked improvement in the core service over the last 20 years.

London's network is older and has smaller tunnels. It also only has single tunnels in each direction (so if a train breaks down the whole line stops).

The difference is that the network has had steady investment under single management for a prolonged period. Londoners have suffered through closures for engineering work, but ageing systems have been upgraded and gradually the benefit is being felt.

These bindings are for node.js, not for the web.

I've seen a similar solution in the swimming pool changing cubicles at a Center Parcs in the UK. The cubicles have two inwards opening doors opposite one another. Once inside, you close both doors and fold down a bench which blocks the doors shut and gives you somewhere to sit. Very clever solution.
