I don't see how an MCP can be useful for browsing the net and doing things like shopping as has been suggested. Large companies such as CloudFlare have spent millions on, and made a business from, bot detection and blocking. Do we supp

From my experience booking.com is the most guest hostile platform I’ve experienced to the point I try to actively avoid it. I travel A LOT and can book anything from 20 - 40 stays per jaunt. Whenever I have encountered a problem on booking

If you like Indian food I’d say Swasthi’s Recipes is decent. A lot of what I have seen on there is similar to how my aunties in Punjab n aunties of my friends in UP make food/have taught me to make food. https://www.indianhe

Thanks mate! I think I consider myself a slow reader as I’ve grown up with my mother and sister who both read at some ungodly pace. They’ll finish 5 books for every one which I finish. I do agree with the thorough learner aspect. I think ha

That’s a really interesting take. I say that as I’m the opposite — a slow reader — and I, too, cannot stand learning via video. I’m by no means a weak reader, I love reading and do so often. I just find myself re-reading complex sections to

This is much better for local journeys, 100%. But I have to disagree that cars are ‘rare’ in any part of India. Source, I am Indian and have travelled a significant portion of the subcontinent.

Cars in India most certainly are not rare by any stretch of the imagination.

I have Lyca as my main line but haven’t noticed this before. They do the whole ‘charge £0.01 to validate the card’ thing but that is instantly reversed and a separate transaction. Overall their customer service is quite possibly the worst I

Not sure if I am missing something but you can definitely run (some?) GH actions locally with act: https://github.com/nektos/act Seen a couple posts on here say otherwise.

Sounds like the non-existent British NHS where getting an appointment to see a doctor is about as likely as meeting the Loch Ness Monster for a spot of tea and crumpets.

Just to correct a small detail, you don’t need to attend a service to visit langar hall and have a meal. Generally Gurudwaras serve 3 meals a day and you can just visit them. From my experience they will do their utmost to serve you regardl

As someone who has blogged on and off for decades and has literally no way of knowing whether people read my posts (no analytics or tracking at all on my site), I’d say it is worth it. Blogging has been of a great help to see me through som

Yeah it seems like the inverse of what is logical: Have a human review the code which _may_ have been written/influenced by an LLM. Having an LLM do code review seems about as useful as YOLO merging to main and praying to the Flying Sp

Yeah I agree with you and I have been around for a while. I do feel that there is a lot of elitism from those who hate React. The same as you get in any industry. When I was doing audio engineering professionally you would find a bunch of e

No probs at all mate, feel free to reach out if you need to bounce ideas. As I say I’ve quite a bit of experience from leading out the development offering in an agency and building a bespoke AB Testing IDE.

That makes perfect sense, I know from experience that things like Google Trends scraping is an absolute pain in the backside and requires a lot of jiggery-buggery in order to get around their bot detection — a proxy alone will do nothing to
