I couldn't agree more. AS3 was my gateway drug into static typing, IDEs, all manner of things. I did have Flex/FDT at one client, but after that I ended up using Flash Develop because it was so good, even if it was Windows. Having

Kindof, but there was a ton of work done on ActionScript 3 making it all ECMA (?) compliant and there was a heck of a lot of road left on that. It was TypeScript before there was modern Javascript. And that could have been parlayed into a d

Are you sure that's not just because it's cadmium plated or packed with other nasties that provided similar benefits? :D The guy that sometimes services my BMW goes on frequent unprompted rants about how the modern bikes corrode s

Good to hear this, since it encourages me to stick with the VanMoof I bought in 2019. Fancier, swishier bikes abound, but the VM just keeps on truckin’

As a biker, cyclist, skater, and ebiker, I’ve settled about various wax-like sprays to keep crap off and out. ACF-50 for the motorbike, various protective wax sprays for the bicycles, Vaseline for skate bearings.

The packet specifically in the BBC image - I was at the Chinese supermarket in London Chinatown, when some Korean students walked in and one of them saw those packets and said ‘oh yeah that’s the one that completely beat me.’ I was curious,

The man writes faster than I can realistically read, but I still have a full shelf that I have dipped into over the last 32 years. Linguistics to Gaza, one of my proudest moments was once having some wingnut include me on a public list of e

Ah, but C1 has completely changed the offer by not including a single new feature update on the one-time perpetual purchase, only bug fixes, and no upgrade pricing at all. So it completely removes any kind of incentive for customer to stay

Ditto. Commercial software turned out to have limited headroom. GIMP is here but I can’t quite get my head around the lack of integration with open and save dialogs, even while I recognize your reasoning. The dumbest stuff becomes the bigge

Ah, the new Lightroom CC! I was a happy, delighted, enthusiastic Lightroom user from the moment it originally came out and threw Aperture into the bin where it belongs. Lightroom was fast, brilliant to use, a fabulous wrapper around ACR and

Yeah, and one thing I wondered was whether the physical switches on the older models negated the need for any kind of memory, and if so, the change seems like a step backwards.

Only three weeks ago did we load my Electone FE-70 into a van so my mate could take it. I rescued it for free but we had to lift it down four flights of awkward stairs like Laurel and Hardy. Outstanding instruments, enormous fun, they look

Maybe he is a cretinous manchild, maybe not. It seems that way, even without the full story.

Damn. Glad I got to see Shellac at Primavera a few years ago. What a career. RIP.

Countering a lazy reference with some weird racist stereotype was the best you could do?

I would likely be arrested if I wore my UK-created anti-fascist Football Fans Against Apartheid/Free Palestine pin, so it’s going into a drawer. Zionism has drowned all voices, my Jewish friends are being harassed for dissent too.

Well, Barclays are my main and Starling my secondary and only ever accessed via apps, so I could start by testing them both. Thanks for all this work.

Super depressing as a happy Metro bank customer, although I only use their mobile app. Which isn’t amazing. All I can say now is how quickly can I switch accounts?

Amazing, I’ve moved to Hamburg and the system is horrifyingly fascinating.

"I mean, how hard could it be?" It's an incredibly rare event. Retro-fitting things in the water is crazy expensive. Somebody estimated that the force hitting the bridge was 30 Million Pounds. That's a lot of protection

Not really, because different people are different. Some may not have the capacity to eat fewer large portions - like me - and eat less, more frequently. Many people eat more than they need to at any given time, that is arguably greedy and

You're definitely not speaking about the UK as a whole, this is completely normal and rooted in not wanting to waste food.

This is intriguing and clearly not new as you say - my strobe tuner offers "sweetened" tunings for guitar. Going to have to experiment with this variation now...

I’ve seen how much attention Lego puts into designing and making their bricks and sets, as well as their general outlook, so combined with their better quality, fake Lego bricks is not something I want polluting or diluting my/my kid’s

Mainly because I installed it and ran it on a sample base infra - vpc and subnets - and I noted that it was still picking up Hashicorp providers, fine, but doesn’t this mean I have to run through a large codebase and start switching every p
