There are a few instances where using == is desirable, for instance it allows you to compare two instances of an object and returns true if the properties are the same. In this case === will always return false since it checks if the two in

There is still even at current levels something like 1 pub for every 1,600 residents in the country.

Not any more, the majority are owned by the brewery groups and leased to the landlords. If you see an independent pub in the UK it will be labelled as a 'Free House' that means it is independent of a brewery and can sell any beers

by rossriley 4y ago
There does need to be a little nuance though, since the vast majority of pub owners are actually on a wet lease then the pub itself doesn't get all of the margin, the breweries normally take 20-25% of that margin. So an example from a

You could use the Luhn algorithm or something similar to add a check digit to the end, so for instance, generate a standard uuid, remove the last character, pass the remaining characters through the Luhn function and then use the result as

The UK's tax rates are much closer to the US than the Scandinavian countries. High earners in Sweden for instance pay nearly 11% higher effective rate compared to the UK.

> Don't you pay something like 60% taxes for this? Noone pays 60% tax, the UK taxation is at a similar level to the US for most people, they will pay between a 20% and 30% effective rate although there are progressive bands.

Engineers at this level aren't just cogs in a wheel, the best ones can conceive, architect and ship businesses that deliver 100s of millions in revenue. At this point in time, they're not valuing their time, but their overall valu

Yes, out of the box, max post size is normally 2MB. Some systems will have that a bit higher to allow uploads of larger files, but the largest one I've ever seen is somewhere around 50mb, with 4gb you'd either have to have a super

Unlikely at the higher levels, I would just use a Garmin watch and sync up the timings after the race.

No this is extremely misleading, the misquote you are using applies only to breakthrough infections, but the vaccines themselves are highly effective at preventing infection and thus breakthrough infections are very rare in vaccinated indiv

I can't answer to the specific source you saw but you are most likely misinterpreting the concepts at play. When you see articles about antibody evading or antibody escape the research is not dealing in absolutes. It's perfectly p

No, the UK also vaccinated healthcare workers and all care home workers in the first phase too so there would have been many vaccinated under 60. There are 441,498 staff working in care homes alone and nearly 90% of these were vaccinated in

Less effective is perhaps a misleading word choice, remember the Phase 3 trials are measuring efficacy in preventing any cases (as defined in the study endpoint). Despite the efficacy being lower the Oxford vaccine is extremely effective, n

Getting a copy of PHPStorm will make things much easier, you can run Reformat code on PHP files and you can also do mass updates from code inspections. Also worth checking out is a package called Rector ( https://github.com/r

Modern phonics teaching introduces digraphs and trigraphs at an early stage of the process, so children learn to recognise these. My partner is a specialist phonics teacher and places a dot underneath each digraph, trigraph or individual le

Because the bond pays out at the end of the term, but you can sell it at any point of the term for whatever the market price is. So for example let's say you bought a -0.1% yield, but newly issued bonds are now only offering a -0.5% yi

I guess it's a little less known but you also have to use the same technique to immediately invoke a method on a constructed object, eg. $response = (new Response())->handle (); So it's not completely alien in PHP.

even better, you can surround the class and method reference in parentheses and call normally. Example: $c = new stdClass; $c->test = function() { return 'hello world'; }; echo ($c->test)();

So these new features are backwards compatible in that old code that has no typed properties will continue to work. This is a minor release and PHP tends to be almost completely BC even between major release versions so it's unlikely y

Since Sanofi based in France is one of the top 3 pharma companies, along with Roche based in neighbouring Switzerland, I'm guessing the answer will be quite a lot.

The only deficiency I find is accuracy when you are trying to workout at a specific pace on track. On a longer run they are probably accurate to within 1% which makes practically no difference but you often find on a track that the inaccura

Yes, sorry I did expand in another comment, it's now been replaced with a percentage, but the principle is the same, you pay 7.5% on dividends which is effectively the income tax equivalent minus the 19% corporation tax that has alread

No, I was explaining that this already happens. Actually at least in the UK the system is just changing over to be more clear so rather than the tax credit you just get a lower rate. So for instance instead of the 25%ish that you would expe
