Yeah, that makes a lot more sense than the ridiculousness of the proposition if meant across the rest of London, as it's clearly not the case, sadly.

Perhaps a good idea to keep in mind this is a Brit speaking, and we tend to have a lot of understatement in our communication. I interpreted 'pennies' as 'a good bit less than if we'd been stupidly-overcharged by the mer

And yet, they seem to have managed to accomplish a solution which works well for them. Well done, them. Isn't this supposed to be 'hacker' news?

That was the irritant I noticed. If I was to deploy this I'd de-Tufte the wee footnote numeral links a bit and make them more Webby, somehow. Otherwise it's a great-looking implementation.

In CPU terms at least, 33x more powerful than my once-beloved Amiga 500, which was my first 'real' computer after 8-bits. Only slightly slower than my first PC in the late 90s, which ran at 266mhz. Looks like the ESP32 costs £5, l

I think you just unlocked another revenue angle - indirect innoculation.

Where can I learn more about what you've said, if you have sources to hand, please? I'm a big fan of bio-char (lol), so hearing that it's not-so good in temperate zones is disappointing to me, but interesting. Thanks :)

I'm certainly not heavy and think in fact I'm quite light - dainty perhaps (!) - on my feet (hence the preference for thin-soled shoes). My partner swears by Converse, but hers seem to get knackered within a year anyway. I think I

Hrmm, I've long been a fan of thin-soled, low profile shoes, but having experienced my first ever pair of Converse just last year, I'd suggest 'avoid'. They're not expensive, but they're certainly not cheap - b

Except in the bit I quoted above, no. Wait, what? This might seem like I'm simply being contrarian or wanting stamp my rightitude on the matter, but your framing of the icon's absolute comprehension by everyone else seems to me to

I know it was originally invented way back when (in Xerox Parc?), but it did not become 'de facto' on small screens decades ago, that's just a mangling of perspective. I don't recollect ever having seen it on any of the

My father stopped smoking in the car when little me brightly piped up from the back seat after he lit up "Mmm, I love that smell when you first light a cigarette, Dad!". I still like that smell - for all of its second's exist

When did Pret's fayre become so banal? I walk into one every month or so to see if they have anything interesting. They haven't for years. Same for me as M&S - it seems like they've foregone variety and interest to have t

Given your nickname here, you might be conflating London and the South East with the UK generally. Signed, 'Haringey' :)

Curious to know what you're referring to. My partner's Italian and lives here in the UK with me precisely because of things like Italian bureaucracy. Passports are an interesting one - the loops we've needed to jump through f

As a 'sometime designer' who has dabbled in MJ quite a lot, I'd suggest taking the outputs and then running them through something like Photoshop and tweaking them in there to get them to somehow match a bit more - eg. you co

Myeh, they're clearly AI-generated but that's not my complaint here - the absolute inconsistency in style and ultimate lack of 'overall style' or visual grammar's what bugs here. It may as well be a poorly-considere

Just buy them second hand then and don't put money in his pocket. Or don't.

Yeah, for me this is the sad reality of getting older and replacing somewhat essentially sci-fi fantasies of progression with bleak, mundane reality. Space is really big. Really, really big.

I guess it depends upon the type and size of the job in question. A lot of my work is invoiced upon commitment or completion, and in some cases (as with Unilever here) it's simply decided that their terms over-ride that on my invoice s

In my experience, the larger the organisation, the longer the presumed payment terms. I've learnt to demand payment in advance, otherwise I'll get caught up pos-hoc in the labyrinthine and entirely cloistered whims of accounts dep

The only good advice for a new parent, I think, is to ignore everyone else's advice. I appreciate the circularity of this advice.
