Yeah it is nice to at least have a little variation in sh*t though sometimes.

M&S run the real scam. They don't even do a meal deal. It just costs you £7.

The units are disingenuously applied in Tesco at least though which makes it difficult to compare. For example you might have price per sht (well you need at least 4 per sh*t ;) but there will also be a 2 for 1 offer with no price per sht a

At the bottom. But quite frankly you can get whatever result you like out of nutritional approaches by picking sources. I mean that's how they do meta-analysis studies. Pick an answer, fit the sources to it and publish. Then get picked

Similar with my father. He is on the rapid decline stage. He's overweight, diabetic and suffering from congestive heart failure. Everything he did to get himself here was self inflicted because the consequences were not immediate and h

I believe in them. But unit tests are useless around useless humans. And there’s lots of those. A fine example is that time I wrote a test suite for a domain specific language parser. Someone wanted to break the language so they deleted the

I don't think pair programming exists in reality. It is talked about a lot. Pair debugging does exist but only when stuff goes wrong. This is the vain hope that perhaps two people can make up one competent person when the shit has hi

I was actually hiking up there in August. Absolutely surreal to see that now.

What makes you think they aren’t? There is no absolute position here. Good and bad people come and go all the time.

The nuance is wiped clean by the rampant flagging of loons that the start of any regulatory thread brings. The end game is it’s difficult to make a point about dead bodies when someone has taken all the corpses away. The point is those peop

EU is a big org. There are good and bad players. Twitter is a cesspool of bad players. The whole point of this investigation is to flush out bad players from many places. Propagandists, partisans and manipulators.

Well clearly this thread demonstrates the HN bias towards deregulated capitalism and spewing any garbage at any cost however much damage it does to society. Our technology industry has a bright future. Shame about everyone else… Edit: this

It means every time I install a random package, half of Xorg doesn't get installed as well?

Has it really launched here? I had no idea. I don't think I've heard anyone even mention it I know.

I think this is the worst straw man headline I've ever heard. I've never actually used ed once in the last 30 years of using Unixes both on a programming and admin perspective. Edit: ok he got me :)

No they don't. They create systems and act within in them. Subtle but important difference.

Perhaps we just shouldn't do this? The environmental impact of AI is already huge and we have an uncertain energy future.

I think the hype is driven by a combination of naivety, religious thinking and hope. Personally my cynical perspective is I work with people that it could viably replace now and that's sad, not because it's good tech but the peopl

Is it though? I mean they replaced the computers, all the sensors and the entire strategy at least 2 times each and haven't managed to deliver anything viable. Edit: and another thread just popped up on HN with this https://

Against their own advice, the moment it is stolen you should erase it from Find My as a priority. Until that is done it can be used to authenticate with your iCloud account as an MFA device and can then be removed anyway if they get past th

Are you a masochist? Just use MS Todo or Apple Reminders or something. That's all you need for personal stuff and it costs a grand total of zero.

It was never considered. If you want people to do good things, reward them when they do them and help them understand and improve when they don’t. Taking rewards away is counterintuitive to the goal of a net improvement. Interested to know

I wrote something on Android a few years back called Reward-o-matic. Basically every time one of the kids did something really good, you pressed a button next to their name and a counter went up by £0.50. At the end of the month that got ad

I think you pretty much nailed it. On the other hand I will only buy a car where the car is a BT audio unit and control head and nothing else. Everything more than that sucks.

I think the feminist in question wants attribution for herself rather than to make a point. Both sides have been harmed. The war is about reducing continuing harm from an organisation that literally said that this was just the start of th
