Great work :) When we switched from a monolith to microservices in a previous job, this was mentioned a lot - both internally and to external clients in presentations etc. I agree, I think the fact that it's not called "the [platf

So Google are doing their best to 'kill off' URLs in Chrome and Search, but are simultaneously launching a new gTLD with rules that dictate exactly what URLs under .new should use? This seems like a case of 'the left hand doe

Google bid for the gTLD ( https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/ ) and won it ( https://icannwiki.org/.new ), so they have full control over it.

I'll check that out thanks. I had heard that a few other fan controllers don't work but NBFC looks promising.

I have a Clevo N131WU and whilst Clevo's are good for the price, the poor battery life and loud fans (without their Windows-only 'Control Centre' software) would prevent me buying one again. It's definitely not a MBP com

Good point - I agree, and I'm really disappointed it didn't play out like that. Instead the UK has had political stalemate for 3.5 years and even now it doesn't look like we're closer to 'a deal'.

For those downvoting, there is truth in this e.g.: * Ireland voting (twice) on the Nice Treaty - 2001 then 2002 * Denmark voting (twice) Maastricht Treaty - first 1992 then 1993 * Ireland (again) this time on the Lisbon Treaty - 2008 then 2

I agree it's a big deal. However I think the stress/division is coming from political rows and ill-felling more than genuine discussions on the UK's future relationship with Europe (and/or Ireland).

It's unfortunately very similar here in the UK: whilst most people are 'getting on with it', there's an increasing amount of division and stress due to the whole Brexit debacle.

Security by obfuscation, anyone? He's being flippant. If the logo wasn't there, it would just be a case of measuring N cm to know where to drill.

Agreed and it's nice to hear it's first on the todo list. Until then, though, just change the word in the tag (with hyphens for multiple words), e.g.: https://taken.photos/tags/chess/ https://

Just to clarify that - having had a baby in the UK in the past 3 months - what you say isn't correct (at least for England and Wales; I can't comment on Scotland and NI but I very much doubt they have different systems). Mothers a

Sure, and whilst this is _slowly_ changing, a large part is the high up-front cost. A Kia e-Niro is £32,995 (including the recently cut Government subsidy) whilst a similar size+spec petrol car (The Kia Rio 3) is £17,285. The Nissan Leaf is

OPEC are much less powerful than the decades of past - thankfully - but it'll be a while before oil will be _truly_ priced by supply and demand and nothing else.

It may have in the early days (just like many countries' oil programmes), however now the fund is helping to provide subsidies which makes gasoline cars more expensive than electric cars (amongst other policies), and hence Norway is no

Agreed - the title of "Anxiety nightmare" also isn't accurate based on the actual story they outline. I know that clickbait sells and all, but even "Wrong song played for pianist..." would be better and mostly accur

I watch YouTube (and downloaded) videos at 1.75+ playback, because I _think_ that some videos are slowed down before being published. I'm not sure why this is done - whether it is to make the video easier to follow for non-native speak

There's a self-build TV show in the UK called 'Grand Designs' that had a great episode[0] whereby their children were suffering badly with allergies (even being hospitalised at times). They stayed within London (albeit moving

Yep: and of course their own expectations (partially fueled by other people's weddings and movies). The priority in this case (for the subset the article is referring to, of course) is always expectations > practicalities like money
