The funny thing about this tactic is that it's put me right off the idea of using the app. If this is what their engineering is like, why would I want their app installed on my phone? My assumption is that it's a dumpster-fire of

That's good to know, thanks.

I should probably give that another go when I have more time. I got part way in and just stopped after a while as it just seemed to be taking forever to get anywhere. It's a bit like Better Angels of Our Nature, which I got about 1&#x2

The type system in Ada was always so nice to use, and it was incredibly useful when using SPARK to really constrain the bounds of your types and make the runtime exception freedom proofs easier. I miss working in Ada, but I don't reall

This has always bothered me about the Matrix. The idea that the Matrix was made up of the human's brains made so much more sense than using them to generate heat. I always just watch it with this version in my mind and ignore the energ

We have something similar in the UK, originating in the Proceeds of Crime Act, but the big distinction is that confiscation orders are made by the Crown or High Courts. It can be quite an involved process and is largely done against those

The article compares the national trials programmes being run by agencies of the respective natiinal governments and outlines the specific strengths and weaknesses. This seems an entirely reasonable comparison to be making.

As someone who occasionally needed to share secrets (auth keys etc) with colleagues, or encrypt the odd file, it was really useful, it made all those things a lot easier. Unfortunatly all that extra stuff they piled on top seems to have dis

This is good news. It's a sign that competition in the market is heating up and that multiple car companies are making different models for different markets (geographic, usage and price levels) that appeal to people. All the cheerlead

Yep, although that's not saying much. The housing market in the UK is pretty screwed at the moment, and has been for a long while.

I never stop being amazed by how much time and energy people will put into being awful to other people. It's so frustrating that after being in this industry for over 20 years nothing's really improved, and far too many arseholes

The same thing happened here in the UK. A relatively tiny amount of money (a million £/month or so) got >95% of rough sleepers off the streets and into secure accomodation where many have taken the opportunity to deal with their add

I seem to remember reading about some studies that came to a similar conclusion. The optimum approach to generating new ideas was to ask everyone to presubmit suggestions, which were then put to the group unattributed (at least initially) a

I'm really curious, what sort of healthcare admin work is seasonal like this?

But "public education" refers to state run/funded schools :) Also in the UK the "Public Sector" is government organisations. The "private sector" is for-profit/comercial organisations, many of which a

Well I'm completely fine with them offering that, there are lots of things that location tracking is useful for. I just want them to make things optionally available with the permissions granted being proportional to the task. If you w

I've been on Android for a long time now, but as I've become more aware of my privacy in recent years I've concluded my next phone will probably be an apple. My problems with Android are largely around all the things you can&

Ah, I see, that makes a lot of sense, thanks for the explanation.

I'm obviously missing something. Why would distance travelled on a unit of fuel be a bad way to measure the efficiency of a car? I know that such measures are always imprecise due to different driving styles/conditions etc. So wha

It gets particularly confusing when people start comparing mpg for US and British cars, as the two gallons are not the same, I've seen so many arguments online where people are flat out comparing differenteasures and assuming they were

People always nay-say demand management, but here in the UK the National Grid already does this. They have contracts with many large industrial companies who presumably get lower rates in return for being able to turn down their demand on r

Can anyone recommend a good overview read of this whole thing? I seem to have missed it all.

The attention to detail is reall impressive. They've absolutely nailed the look of a good country pub. It's really hard to describe how much I miss being able to go to the pub right now (it's not the drink, it's the atmo

Likewise. I think it's true for a lot of people. Its why pregnant women are told not to drink alcohol at all. The reality is that the liver is amazing and can remove low levels of it so well that a small amount of drinking is fine. The

This was the point I stopped playing games, around 1997-8. I was a student, with a franken-PC cobbled together from hand-me-down parts from my brother and dad. There was just no way I could keep up with the new games that were coming out, e

On a smaller scale, that reminds me of the clock at Wells Cathedral ( https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co1347/... ) for 1392. The Cathedral is a great example of its kind, but for me the clock wa
