It's still happening. I built some libraries that ease the process, and they power the new MOJ Forms and GOV.UK Forms. Rails still has a decent foothold across departments, but it's being nibbled away at by Python and.NET. https:

They certainly pull no punches. If this is happening to award winning match officials, it doesn't bode well for the ordinary fans.

This looks fantastic. I worry that its scope might be a bit wide. From planning region-wide infrastructure (the thing I love about city builders/OpenTTD) right down to deciding how many wardrobes someone needs. How well can it do those

This might be a good opportunity for Microsoft to bring back their 'total cost of ownership' advertising campaign.

The problem with 'in most cases' when it comes to a design system that's used in hundreds of different ways across departments and services, is that some week break. I don't really like the div either (I use the design s

Obviously I mean PostgreSQL themselves don't have one, like Redis, MongoDB etc.

PostgreSQL doesn't have a pro/officially supported version though.

Me too. All my computers have Noctua fans and I don't care in the slightest that they're the same colour as my parents' sofa in the 1980s. I have a couple of their screwdrivers too. I'm with with brown.

'I'm going to the library', said Hermione. You put the punctuation where it makes sense. If it belongs to the quote, it goes inside. If it belongs to the sentence, it goes outside.

You don't 'often' need a new version, if you bought Pro today it'd work with all current gen cameras from the major manufacturers, and probably get updates for a couple of years. I understand that Capture One aren't

I'll worry about that when it happens, but I'm more than happy with my D500/D850 for the foreseeable future.

Capture One might cost more, but it's a one off payment. I'm still happily using CO11 (8 or 9 years old?) and if it was good enough for professional use when it came out, it's more than enough for me now.

There's a pub a few minutes from me that was built in the 1620s and every time I go past it strikes be just how long ago that is. That's roughly when The Mayflower set off, and St Peter's Basilica was built. And it's sti

I love mine too, I have the messenger bag and the backpack. Both are in near perfect condition after years of use, commuting and travelling. I love their camera straps and clips too, everything just works nicely together.

Affinity is great for editing but doesn't do the library management stuff that Capture One/Lightroom etc do.

Thanks. To be honest I'm going to start using it already. I think being able to easily open a new blank query is the main thing. ctrl+n. That's how I start most of my investigations.

I took it for a test spin just now and I'm impressed. Some notes: - to get it to run (on Fedora) I had to manually installed python3-keyring first - connected with ease, that part is really smooth - I like the ability to easily flick t

Linux and Gnome. While macOS might have more uses, there's more database clients already fighting it out.

This looks great, definitely going to take it for a spin tomorrow. I'm pretty happy at the moment editing in vim invoked from psql with \e - which has been my setup for way more than a decade now, but I do miss isql (Query Analyzer) fr

I use Excalidraw extensively at work. For me, it's really close to perfection. It has an excellent UI, selections work way better than Lucid or Figma etc, the sketchy look makes it clear designs are rough and not blueprints, it's

So it might not be quite as bulky as one of those, pretty sure this is it. https://www.scan.co.uk/products/lian-li-pc-60fnb-black-alumi... My desk can probably lift me though. https://files.catbox.moe/r

I have a sit/stand desk so mine's on top, it makes organising the cables much easier. Nothing as swish looking as a Mac Pro though, it's a plain black Lian Li behemoth from the late 00s.
