I think we need to give them a place to do it that wont piss people off. The UK has a great history of motorsport but has hardly any resources for getting started with your own car. I have seen in America where cops join in and mod their ca

Without an election Labour dont have enough seats to be an effective minority government. They would need either lots of support from other parties. Best option right now is an election, its really our only path to stability. But the Tories

Yeah we were using ARM desktops back in primary school with Risc OS. Its quite fascinating that they are coming back.

They were not building it for people going out for a recreational canoe. They would surely have stuff in the Canoe that they don't want to carry a mile along with the canoe.

Because they are a weird middle ground. UK uses metric paper, metric weights and measures for _most_ things, metric temperature. Where Imperial starts to slip in is distance when driving (but not when running...), volumes of Beer and Milk (

They only need to survive long enough to get covered up, which could happen pretty quickly if there is a battle going on. Once they are covered they are protected.

Intercity trains often go much faster than 60mph. More like an average of 90mph with a speed limit 125mph on the main lines in UK. Thats not even the HS1 (and eventually HS2), that's on our old AF Victorian rail roads. The argument for

Its about building a surface that will also survive the winter and the summer. Its a tricky problem to solve. We could probably replace this with tarmac that could survive much hotter temps, but would just crack and break in the winter when

Its much harder on the tube, as where do you dump the hot air? Back into the tunnel? London's clay has basically baked around the tube and is a really good insulator. Its not a particularly easy problem to solve.

Because that's not possible without a lot of expense. Metal expands thats just basic physics. Its hard to stop that.

Actually, didn't the latest build of Safari nightly recently over take all the other browsers in terms of number of supported features? I swear that was shared here on HN.

I assume part of the reason for doing it like that is that it gives user feedback for the systems rather than just following what ever assumptions they put in place for their automated testing. It also servers to be driver training, which i

Which is exactly why Home Assistant and Matter exist... If you're not going to read the post why even bother commenting. My Home Assistant instance has only a few devices that are in anyway linked to a third party but even then they ha

Because the line about Brexit being about independence was stupid. The UK enforces far more control over Scotland than the EU ever did.

The text they are currently trying to rip up against the will of the EU? The only viable solution is that the UK rejoins the EU or becomes subservient to it... but neither will happen anytime soon.

Well damn, I didn't know that it had gotten easier to use but I am so glad to here it! I will definitely be giving it another go.

The Palm Pre was always a phone I lusted after but never got to actually use. Is there a good emulator or way to experience what WebOS used to be like?

This is something I would agree with. If you can keep the boundaries in place but work in the same process space you've managed to avoid the mess often associated with Monoliths and the overhead associated with Micro services.

Or maybe they are, and they still think its worth it? Stack traces are not an issue I've faced, good tracing helps a lot here. Encode-decode is a minor issue in comparison to the issues they are often trying to solve (which may not alw

Yes, but London has fantastic public transport to the extent where if you are living in the Ultra Low Emission Zone you probably don't need a car (if you could even afford a place with a parking space). Now the extension of the Low Emi

Im not sure its fair to call Scala dead. Its still pretty widely used, at least in companies in London. Hiring is a bit more competitive but we still get some great Scala devs interviewing for the more senior roles. Disclaimer - I work with

I would say not mature enough yet. There are plenty of things missing support right now.

There is 'running a basic linux server' then there is running a secure, scalable and reliable server for the whole org to use. The latter is the job of a sys admin, not an developer. Sure I could probably figure it out, but I am

I disagree, the company I work for is big but not massive and yet even using this kind of approach on a single product in our suite has been really beneficial. Its not as complicated as you may think, its just about keeping the code clean.

No, its funded by advertising but owned by the government. That means they have more remit to do what they like (no shareholders like Murdock to appease).

Same here. Its funny that you get accused of being a paid shill, yet the people who so loudly complain get taken seriously. I dont know anyone who's had an issue and I would say 90% of my friends have monzo.

They are 100% not behind the 'We cant tell you why'. It only takes the smallest amount of reading to figure that out. They have to report it to the FCA and you can read the reports from the FCA that suggest its not actually any wo

They seem to be operating very well with the 2000 services (the number doesn't seem to have changed much in the last few years which is interesting, despite them adding new features, etc). The domain is obviously very complex as its no
