I’m not a database architect, but can’t you just add the column or whatever as a nullable field in one migration, update the application to write to the column, and then make the field non-nullable in a further migration? As I say I’m no ex

Yeah, @dang what do you think, I live in NI and when I saw this I was surprised, but nope, it’s just someone conflating England and the UK. Health is devolved to the contituent countries here.

You can add privacy zones around locations so when people look at your activities your line just disappears inside the radius of your privacy zones. I have ones around my home and where I work. No idea if that affects whatever data they sel

Exactly the same thing at Arm. We had an all-hands and one of the questions was "are we expected to do our contractual hours" and the answer was to do what you can. Honestly very impressed by how they are handling this, at every t

I used to work on the MOT (roadworthiness test) system for GB, we had a blacklist and “screw” was in it. One day we got some feedback saying “what group of virgins wrote this software” because a tester was trying to type in “screw in tyre”

I get migraines when I have the sun on my head and bright lights around and where I work has recently moved offices. Now next to a river in an office seemingly made entirely of glass. It’s impossible to see anything so now everyone just shu

Further, it acts as a multiplier. Which is why I believe rail travel should be nationalised—very few people take a train for the sake of being on a train, people take trains to work or to spend money somewhere else. It makes no economic sen

He can go to Mars and stay. I don’t understand why so many people just accept the rhetoric of Musk and Gates, so-called “liberal capitalists” (liberal in the modern meaning, not classical liberal). They made their money through exploiting o

This is one of the worst failures of capitalism. In order to improve their social credit, corporations first cause the conditions that lead to homeless (speculative capitalism) then give with one hand a fraction of what they reap with the o

It's also why we can detect muons on Earth, a particle that would have decayed by the time it reaches us if its age depended on our frame of reference.

It definitely took me longer than an hour to learn IPA, but aside from that, definitely. I have an amateur interest in linguistics so I picked it up through reading Wikipedia articles on obscure languages, I would say I use it at least once

You can choose to be stateless? I thought I've read in UK media that countries are not allowed to make a person stateless. This is in the context of ISIS fighters with dual-nationality, these people are having their British citizenship
