No idea :) I verified with the band (Belle & Sebastian) that it was legit and they wanted me to be involved, but beyond that I'll find out tomorrow. From the prelim questions, I understand that their angle is looking at the early w

As an idea, if a ship were to be electric with battery + solar as the energy source... the ship would be space constrained and obtaining more power with reduced mechanical complexity may be worth it in such industrial settings. Unsure if th

Yeah, but then I'd need to create and maintain a lot of org accounts.

Hmmm... I never finished updating my Github Sponsor thing, so I've just done that. But as someone that tended to create orgs for projects rather than have it all under a personal account, should I move all of the projects? I guess so,

I'm on Linode. Linode is down because Cloudflare is down. Can't login to their control panel, etc. You'd need to go fully independent and roll your own, with zero dependencies, to really make this work.

I grew up in a 149 High Street. About 300m away was another 149 High Street. They both originally belonged to different villages but London's growth had filled in the gaps between the villages. We knew who lived there as it wasn't

I do this. But I also enable 2FA and store the seed for that publicly... on the internet. Just without any context at all as to what it does. By itself the 2FA seed is useless. You need to know what it does, and you also need the email (it&

When you accidentally lose it (by losing your private keys), it will be impossible for anyone else to get it back for you. In a sense, this will prove to you that you did really own it and no-one else did.

Still unrealistic. Requires land for the district heating facility, and then ripping up the road to lay plumbing, etc. For the UK the solution is known: create and mass produce an electric alternative to the combo boiler. The numbers requir

Whether you get answers depends a lot on the size of the company. Fewer than 10 employees... those interviewing likely know the answers and will share. Between 10-50 employees... those interviewing may still know the answers and may still b

Most encrypted. Centralised or decentralised means little compared to a lack of encryption. You can't give up that which you don't have access to.

For where I live in London, ground heat pumps are infeasible and air heat pumps would produce too much noise and not be permitted under conservation area rules. What most of the UK needs is an effective drop-in replacement to a combi boiler

My view is that a coding interview is not an interview of whether you can code. It is an interview about your communication, whether the code you write can be maintained, whether you can inspire/build trust (can you explain what you&#x
