I’d agree in that I never things like Coffeescript but I think that Rails’ frontend solution since 7.0 of Hotwire has been excellent. Being able to sprinkle just enough JavaScript on server rended HTML works really well. That you can now us

I have a feeling it's one of those things, like owning a Capri 2.8i or one of the really old school 911 Turbos, that is better left to fantasy for me. I love the idea but I'm a pretty rubbish driver and would probably end up getti

When I was a kid I wanted a classic Mini with a transplanted Honda K-Series engine. It's a big engine for that little car but I'd completely forgotten about them over the years. It's wild that people are still doing this: ht

Sorry but I'm going to keep bashing the initiative because: 1. It doesn't stop kids from accessing porn because kids know about or can learn about free VPNs. 2. I think it exposes lots of adults to identity theft on non-porn websi

I love the way that the BBC studiously doesn't name any AVS Group Ltd sites in that article.

Not the UK, here fatbikes are mountain bikes just with wider tyres. Something like a Trek Farely or Canyon Dude. They may also be assisted e-bike but not exclusively.

Elsewhere “fatbike” just refers to the tyre size. Pedal fatbikes for riding on snow and sand have existed for at least 20 years I’d say.

The original Nissan Leaf was launched in 2010 and you can still get whole replacement batteries or even just cell replacements for them. They can also be upgraded to increase their range using after market batteries. So we’re already at 15

Meh, there's no evidence given that Ruby is not a "serious" language, whatever that means. His major arguments seem to be that he doesn't like ruby's name. My theory is if the author was in anyway correct in his ass

Are you sure about that? My understanding was that the eCall self test does not connect to a network. That’s stated on the eCall page linked above. Do you have a source that contradicts that?

I love these new approaches to type checking such as this and Literal[1]. I think they really show how far we could go with runtime ruby syntax. For both though I have questions: A. How do I use this day to day to improve my tooling and d

I had to look up Z88DK[1], it’s a cross compiler for the Z80 CPU family that started on the Sinclair designed Cambridge Z88 portable[2]. What confused me about in the headline is that the Z88 came with BBC BASIC. Oh well an interesting and

We have a similar law in the UK but it does depend on what you mean by public place. In somewhere like a public toilet block, at least here in the UK, you have an expectation of privacy. If some creep in Meta glasses is filming you take a

As far as I’m aware most manufacturers of fitness equipment were supporting ANT+. ANT+ (vs ANT) is proprietary but licensing was free and large part of the spec are open. There were definitely a lot of manufacturers supporting it. Not just

Yeah they do. Even right now they're trying to take territory from the Philippines. China just has a history of denying what they're doing as they're doing it. There are so many examples online. My favourite is of a Chinese

Why shouldn’t you care and how is the issue with fingerprinting overblown?

Yep it’s illegal to serve anyone you believe to be intoxicated in the UK. We just generally turn a blind eye to it as long as you’re not too far gone or being a dick.

Yep it’s a fluent conversation with an arsehole you can’t get away from and who’s constantly trying to get one over you. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was supposed to be a comically bad vision of the future not a blueprint.

There seems to be the implication that the people taking over are better placed to run things. You have to ask yourself though, if those trying to assume control can't get together and sell the idea of a new fork to the userbase why wo

Yep having the Async gem in the standard library would be a great win. Async Ruby is fantastic now. I think I read somewhere that Matz is actually in favour of that but Samuel is holding off for now.
