Huh, in Irish Gaelic (best gaelic) "fein" is pronounced like "feign" in English, with a leading "f" sound.

The Volkswagen Swastika is pretty interesting, hadn't seen that before.

It probably varies by geography, but the .Net scene I was in really didn't have a bias toward CI at all (or testing, or almost any decent development practices). I wont argue about it, our experiences differ, and that's cool :)

Maybe, but the videos (and surrounding media) were presented in a way which implied the robot was autonomous, finding it's own path through the terrain. It may not be intentionally misleading, but still misleading.

"...but full autonomy is far away. Marc Raibert, the founder of Boston Dynamics, said as much in an interview with IEEE Spectrum in February, when he acknowledged that in the videos, a human steered the robot via radio during its outsi

> if you could convince the mainstream to only buy very high quality, durable goods... Hmm, most of the mainstream are barely scraping along as it is, asking them to multiply their spend by a factor of 10 won't work unless their own

Agreed. I've been doing Clojure (on and off) for about 4-5 years now and the tooling is as bad as it's ever been. Compared to Elixir/Mix it's downright embarrassing. Incidentally, I've been putting more effort into

Nitpick: many in England say they're in favour of leaving the EU, etc. Polls show NI/Wales/Scotland quite strongly opposed to such silliness.

Piggybacking a bit here: would a startup based in the UK (as in, devs and managers live in the UK), but incorporated in the US (maybe through the new Stripe service), be held to this?

But, who's going to stay in the hotels? Will the robotic occupants even need towels folded? ;)

That's pretty cool. I wonder how it would deal with a teddy bear or stray piece of underwear in the pile of towels?

Same goes for almost any language-specific package manager you could name: Rust/Cargo, Clojure/Clojars, Node/npm, Elixir/hex, Python/PyPi. No matter which way you slice it, what CocoaPods is doing is a bit daft, esp

Noted: I've gone with BitDefender from the Map App Store. Will report back results. EDIT: welp, BitDefender found nothing, all clear.

While we're here, can anyone recommend a good antivirus for OSX? I've just been looking at BitDefender, which looks promising, but would rather get this right than faff around with potentially crappy AV tools.

I dread re-formatting my laptop because of this. Getting all my (legitimately purchased) plugins back onto the system is an absolute nightmare. I've started paring my setup down to just Ableton and a handful of plugins for this reason.

Thanks! I'm envisioning a github/gitlab alike source hosting service, but with the UI and UX tuned towards enabling discussion and collaboration. Sort of trying to get to Github's original motto of "Social Coding".
