You seem to be getting downvoted but your comment gelled with me. I always wanted to get into a "true" tiling window manager but could never quite give up having some level of finer grain control just for whenever. I've ended

Hello you - sorry I missed your SMS before xmas :') - They've left me alone since 2018, I think I had one follow up declaration and then that was it. Agree regarding we shouldn't have to on principle but I just went along wit

I know there's lots of conflicting horror stories online but years ago when I moved house and had no TV at all, I submitted a declaration[1] saying I didn't need one and haven't had any hassle since. After a few months I real

Another (Northern) Irishman here - I too remember vividly carving out rather small turnips as a kid in the late 80s and 90s. The small size and difficulty in carving it for me always ended up making for a rather creepy but oddly friendly lo

I understood the fuzzy labels to still only refer to a specific probability range, e.g. the meaning of "aggressive but possible" to relate to the likes of your I'm 95 % certain it will be done no later than nine months from

I've been finding this approach incredibly useful too with teams and trying to manage the needs and concerns of business vs product vs engineering. I quite liked how it's described here: https://spin.atomicobject.com&#x

I read a lot of maths and have ended up for the most part using a 10 inch Fire tablet. I then tend to prefer them in their original typeset PDF format that way and am able navigate them with the sort of speed you need. It'll depend on

I'm not sure there was ever an argument saying otherwise. The ease of processing X million requests is heavily dependant on what those requests actually do . Trivial use cases shouldn't be a surprise to have high throughput.

A little off topic but I always found it interesting that the "theft" of electricity is actually called Abstracting in UK law, since you can't really steal the electricity itself. > ...it was held that electricity could

We've recently switched out of Wordpress to Webflow and hit upon 3 snags that soured my opinion of it, though now we're "done" on it these are less of a big deal but I'd still probably have just stuck with WP with a

Python also lets you do this, definitley a nice bit of sugar ``` In [2]: b = 15; In [3]: a = 40 if b == 15 else 99; In [4]: a; Out[4]: 40; ```

A couple of years ago I moved everything over to my brother who resides in Dublin just in case I lost my long standing domains. It seems I could in theory update this back to my home address in Northern Ireland given this: https:/&#x2

I bought a second hand Pixel 2XL and was initially thrilled until I tried plugging it in and realised it was immediately turning itself off - hard and fast. A quick search came across multiple large threads which never had a single reliable

I recently set up a pihole at home with the whole Covid situation and as soon as I noticed the donate link threw them £5 thinking "the least I can do is buy a London priced pub pint - I'm not exactly spending it elsewhere" .

Yes, having major issues getting into any London based EC2 instances here (fargate) and seeing connection timeouts to third party services from those instances. Slack not handling image uploads too. They've since now posted: 3:21 AM P

If you want to read a bit more from the mathematician himself on this very topic he wrote an accessible "pop-math" book about it, "Meta Math!: The Quest for Omega" though you'll need to look beyond the author's

What helped me a ton to disconnect from some of this sort of stress is building up a bit of a savings buffer. Once I had a few months of savings around I suddenly started to give much less of a shit about day to day work as I could, if I re

It always blew my mind that services like Yodlee ( https://www.yodlee.com ) worked that way. I can understand it from the point of view that no traditional bank was set up to allow structured access but it never felt right to me.

I would very much second this advice. I've only recently started to take a more concerted effort to stay in touch with people. I was terrible in my 20s (I'm now 35) with avoiding all the social contact that I could. My girlfriend

I really like this. For certain industries & situations, you really do need a visual way to represent where your time is going. I've found this to be an area lots of developers seem openly hostile too. I used to do something simila

I highly recommend a visit! I went a few years ago and had a great time. It's right at the top of Bletchley Park and only costs a few pounds. It's a bit of a shame that it feels neglected by the main museum (it's a separate a

I've had this problem in almost every office I've worked at. It shouldn't be different but for whatever reason, people seem to think it beneath them. I often wondered what state some of my co-worker's houses were in.

It is using an attribute selector that matches against the last character only - so no giant file of permutations required.

by jaymzcampbell 9y ago
The CSS attribute selector matches against the character at the end of the word [0], so you just need a-z, 0-9 etc and not their permutations. From the end of the readme there's this example: input[type="password"][v

Having worked at home for around a year now I have to say I completely agree with your summary. I used to dream of 100% WFH and now realise I am not cut out for it psychologically. I seem to thrive with a certain level of interaction. Compa

Places I've worked previously (am independently contracting these days) had similar policies in theory but they were really more guidelines to try and keep continuity in place. If you planned in advance and had cleared it with your col

To add a voice for the other side of it - I've found those quite useful. I follow people all over the world and live in London. When I have a look at twitter in the morning I actually like that it'll show me (some) tweets from peo
