Makes sense - their offices are (were?) based in Cambridge just up the road from the city centre and about a 15min walk from the new shop. Little trivia: in my previous job I worked in the offices that would be taken over by Raspberry Pi a

Only loud-mouthed inexperienced middle managers tell their juniors to follow NIH and do everything in pure perl. It's pure fear to be broken by changed dependencies. It's not NIH if you're advocating using CPAN modules or e

I never saw two implementations that were the same either, it was a particular annoyance, but they all defined the PAN as n..19 IME (and 19 was indeed a rare case generally seen with now defunct/less popular card schemes so there'

The APACS 70 standard allows for a maximum card length of 19 digits, so tacking more digits on the end isn't going to work with current message formats. IIRC ISO 8583 also has the same limits, although that message format is somewhat m

That's essentially what the OG tweet is saying: Pinnacle of software development: you can solve the problem with three lines of Perl, but you don’t, because of a non-argument against Perl. Since there didn't used to be that many

Yeah, I spoke to my parents about this today. Apparently the street used to be part of a sports complex, and was sold to a developer in the 60s or 70s. They recall being given the option to buy the lease for £400 in the late 80s, the same o

This is pretty interesting. I zoomed in to my parent's place and it turned out that while their street has a known owner, the next street doesn't. I know their street is leasehold, at a cost to them of £14 per year. So the lack of
