When half of all traffic exceeds a limit I think it's in the wrong place. As far as getting nailed goes, it would be a fixed penalty ticket, if anything. I don't agree that it's contempt for other road users, any more than it

Just to put some numbers to that... at the Nordschliefe in 1974 Lauda dipped under 7 minutes. The original Veyron managed 7:40 in 2005. BMW engineers estimated their 2006 car could lap it in 5:15. Basically, put a few corners in and I don&#

Last statistics I saw showed ~50% of all traffic (which includes vehicles with speed limiters) travel in excess of the 70mph motorway limit in the UK. Personally, I tend to cruise at an indicated 100mph because above that enforcement ratche

I've got a 2019. I've hardly used the keyboard, I keep it closed and try and make sure I can work from somewhere with an external monitor and keyboard. There's so much negative talk about them, I'm expecting it to have d

Ah, managed to miss that bit - yes, I do. In that case I'm surprised your quote wasn't more!

I've just had a look at quotes where I am (a couple of hours away from London) and got £900/year. That's quite a lot (I think for a Ford Focus and a Volvo V70 I pay about £200 each) but you're really getting screwed! I w

When I proposed adding FizzBuzz to our screening process, I got a fair amount of pushback from the team that it was a waste of the candidates' time. I've had the same, I was a contractor and not usually involved in the hiring pr

Wish I had a fix for that. I've started rotating agile manifesto principles in my email signature as a slightly passive aggressive way of trying to get the message across. It's not working.

Yeah, that sounds like actual torture.

We're also "Agile" now, so we spend a ton of time in useless meetings. Might be lost in translation - but agile shouldn't require a ton of meeting time and should work fine remotely. And hey, one of the principles is t

Maybe a motorway hard shoulder would be preferable to a live lane.

Java dev here. I would try and defend a 120 character limit but I have a 34" 5k widescreen monitor so I probably don't have a leg to stand on. I'm writing a mix of Java and python at the moment. Python for lambdas behind an A

I live in Europe and I'd never even heard of CCC. (Probably goes without saying, but I'm well aware of DEFCON and have been for 20 years, I know a handful of people who've been even).

I've never really understood why that's significant other than perhaps degree of motivation. Even for someone who doesn't believe in climate change or the man made aspect of it I'd have thought, say, cleaner air, cars wi

I wonder what the field of view is like. The demos only show it being used towards the middle of the lower half of the screen - can the camera really see the top left or right corners?

That's not a reason to live in central London just in case it happens, unless you're that myopic you can't imagine meeting some from Reading, or further afield.

None of the HTML features the author uses lack a plaintext equivalent.

by cs02rm0 7y ago
TL;DR Use HTML features (and dates). Yes, it's 2019 and I'm still in favour of plaintext emails. Sorry.

Java?

I think that meaning was probably pretty tenuous when it was introduced and more or less gone today. I drive a FWD Ford Focus ST, which also has one.

It's because the person behind the character is a man. I'm from the UK, it might be normal to occasionally say they when you don't know the name, gender and have an image but I don't agree with others that the way this a

Aren't we better off not using microfibre plastics to make clothes in the first place?

For comparison, Paris-Marseilles is about a 1hr20 flight. Maybe comparable given airport hassle these days, but that is on what is perhaps the best route in Europe for showing what trains can do. I doubt cost comes in to most train-flight c

You can do that in the UK already too. Or self scan at a checkout. I think the difference here is really that they're talking about using cameras instead of scanning and it seems not even having a cashier as an option. I think nearly h

Oh, it's definitely true. I've just bought one after holding out for 6 years since my last MBP. Everyone's wishes will be granted imminently.

Not all offensive cyber is military, although there's certainly ambition within the EU there. That aside, the EU didn't have a Cybersecurity Agency with legal powers to prevent and respond to cyber threats yesterday. Coincidentall

And those thermostats are open on the internet? Not connecting out to an intermediate server that you also remotely connect to?

I was joking, but it's sort of my point - who's exposing IoT devices to the internet?
479.
by cs02rm0 7y ago
What are the devices? Are all my lights going to turn off?

by cs02rm0 7y ago
Thanks, I think I'm in the clear there. I had milk on my cereal which happens to be fortified with B12, some chicken bite things for a snack, scrambled eggs for lunch and beef burgers for tea just yesterday. (With some fruit and veg).
