Yep, came here to say the same thing. Kids use Raspberry Pis, and kids destroy micro HDMI ports, quickly, in my experience. Plus, I never have the right damned cable. Large HDMI please!

This is proper programming. None of this namby-pamby web scripting that passes for development these days.

What's the number now? I'm assuming that the falling popularity of monogamy means it's headed in the same direction again, albeit not in quite as extreme a way.

You say that, but if you want your site to be accessible from the UK or ever plan on touching down in the country, it applies to you.

This is the issue. They've effectively made an enormous amount of stuff illegal, and we're in the realm of "you'll get prosecuted arbitrarily / if you piss the wrong person off" which isn't really conduciv

This is an odd one, as it means that OFCOM are now regulating private citizens for the first time, to the best of my knowledge. Hmm, apart from Ham Radio Licenses, I guess.

The bill has cross-party support, so you can't even vote for it to be repealed.

Incidentally, @dang you're currently in violation of the law. HN has to be age-gated now.

Nothing at all. It's crazy.

Has anyone figured out what the wording "directly on the service" means - does that mean they've accidentally exempted federated content, ie. everyone having their own Mastodon server?

All it'll do is kill off small businesses and hobby projects in the UK. I'm furious about it; the idiots just made BBSes, MUDs, Git and Telnet illegal. The big companies get regulatory capture of all social communications.

"Users in the UK". Yes, that means it applies to you if you run a Telnet server and a British person logs in to it and might find a text file created by someone from the US there. You need an age gate in front of the login, unless

That surprises me. The legislation in the form I last saw it says that they're not allowed to show user generated content to children without an age-gated login.

This surprisingly less philosophical than I was expecting. There is no such thing as a perfect circle, it's a platonic ideal and lives in the Nous.

Apologies, I'm afraid that one was lost on me!

Ah yes, Communism! So successful at delivering productive happy societies that they needed walls around their countries to keep people in. Great idea.

Honestly, this reads like something by Terry Pratchett, and probably inspired him.

I was working with a bunch of COBOL programmers and learned the language as an act of solidarity. Wrote a basic API framework in it. I really love it. I think there are a number of language features (like the memory handling) which have ele

Notice periods have been getting longer and longer. When I was younger, one month's notice was largely standard in the UK. As time has progressed, I noticed first very professional roles in Law and Accounting moving to three months, fo

If these Miyake events were so spectacular, why do they not appear in the historical record? I appreciate that 774 was in the "dark ages" but something as impressive as the Carrington event would appear in some chronicles, surely?

Yes - cutting out games resolves my apathy and lack of energy. I probably do have stress and tiredness caused by high cortisol from work, but concentrating on physical exercise as a remedy seems to be the most effective way of coping. Gamin

Largely unrelated, but the thing which leaves me feeling most wiped-out is playing (modern) computer games. I've cut them out completely, as they have no positive benefits and leave me listless and unmotivated.

There was rather a lot of competition between Minitel and the UK's Prestel, with Prestel having an initial four-year head start. The competition was so great that when the Brits rocked up at a French trade show in the early 80s, the Fr

It's not that HTML is flaky - it's explicitly designed to work in different types of portal, which Flash and VB were not. For example, Flash and VB are not known for their easy compatibility with screen readers for the blind.
