This is an interesting post to see alongside There Is Too Much Stuff [1], which is also on the front page at time of writing. Many parallels between our collection and hoarding of junk, and our collection and hoarding of junk data. 1: htt

We live in London, two of us in a tiny flat (~500sqft). For a while we had a lodger in the spare room (yes, two bedrooms in 500sqft). We have very few things we don't need or use, and have pretty frequent clearouts of all the crap that

We use Black in a pre-commit hook for all our python code. It makes legibility and formatting a non-issue in the team. Yes it can look strange at first if you're not used to it, but after a while it makes formatting invisible (and it&#

The funny thing is Theresa May did exactly the same thing as Home Secretary. Lots of blustery policy about cracking down on the internet with talk of heavy-handed censorship. Creating the 'hostile environment' for migrants that cu
