> Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like if we just said "that sucks" and required a full postmortem instead. This is how BAA built Heathrow Terminal 5. They took on all risk and just dealt with each problem as they ca

I still don’t fully understand this world, I ‘downgraded’ from an i7 to a slower i5, and my computer got faster. I wish they’d use sensible clear names for the generations so you can clearly understand what’s better.

I guess he can’t use more than one CSS class. <a href=/lovely/ class="button button-primary">Lovely</a> That should trigger him. This stinks of IE6 privileges.

Meanwhile... I’m fairly certain I’ve read that the EU and both Visa and MasterCard are looking at ways to prevent auto-billing without secondary confirmation.

I switched to https://mailinabox.email a while back and really loving it. You rely on using a mail client rather than a webapp, but I’ve enjoyed having the control.

I think that depends on where you live, my local supermarket is quietest at 11am, and there’s a queue at 8am.

Ah that’s perfect, I don’t know why I haven’t found it before. Thanks.

My understanding was that it just added to the existing generated list, I can’t work out how you’d tell it to ignore all your current pages and then manually write them all out?

We use Nuxt on a fairly large project. One of the biggest problems we’re having is that there’s no routes file you define yourself, you structure it by putting views in folders. This is a nightmare once you have more than a few models. It a

I really want to use Firefox, but they’re just stuck with so many issues, then suddenly out of nowhere they make the address bar massive. My personal annoyance, on macOS: Cmd+Click a link: - Safari, opens in tab in background - Chrome, op

Not all the jobs are contact, some are delivering medicine or telephoning. Everyone can help in some way.

The Government is providing 80% of your pay to anybody not able to work. Self-employed measures are being announced soon. Redundancies are limited in comparison.

Some of the jobs include telephoning people isolating to check on them, so everyone can help in some way.

They have almost all received a text message by now. (A few are being reached by other means.) I know a couple of people that have received them, they’re pretty serious.

It’s a global epidemic. The NHS is funded to run all of these services, but not when 1.5 million people have been asked to shield themselves.

I’ve never had a cancelled delivery in all the years of using Prime and Prime Now, but this week had a Prime Now delivery cancelled. It was clear from the map that the driver was closer to the depot than our house, so decided that they ‘wer

Barely related but I love it: “it was warm” in Japanese can be said ‘atatakakatta’. With the kanji gives it context within the language, 暖かかった, but written in rōmaji it’s hard to know what’s what.

Wasn’t there an article recently about someone ordering this feature accidentally, and Tesla saying it was non-refundable? Talk about having your cake and eating it.
