Similarly common in the UK, or at least where I am (Glasgow, Scotland). Completely normal to say "Tesco's", "Aldi's" etc.

Honestly, as someone who is not particularly pro Apple but bought (and returned) the Vision Pro, I cannot stress enough how much you need to try it out. The issue with the product …

The one big problem Renovate brings is when it automerges and breaks everything with e.g. a TypeScript upgrade. It's simple enough to handle and prevent but has required quite a lo…

Wowee! What an unpleasant response. As both a parent and an employee, I found the article extremely useful and shared it internally at my org. Maybe step back from the computer a b…

Sidepoint but they're also a complete gamechanger for the elderly and infirm. My 70 year old, double-ankle replacement mother who I don't remember ever walking very comfortably bou…

Twitter only showing a sample of posts for non-logged-in users allowed me to see just how weirdly hung up on "Europeans" that guy is.

I think you may be operating under a misapprehension. The word "progressive" is the one people have taken issue with. China is many things but progressive is not my adjective of ch…

There's at least one easter egg! use developer --color (sorry, I have a habit of digging through source)

Stunningly beautiful landing page. I would never normally comment on the aesthetics of anything in the dev sphere but that completely blew me away. I'll preorder for sure. I'd echo…

If anyone's interested in the prompts they're using here, they're viewable via devtools. Full dump of what was showing on my end here: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/furnivall/…

He's being as helpful as possible, there's no need to go hard on his language like this.

Probably the best on the civil liberties front are the Liberal Democrats (they were pretty good at quashing mandatory national ID cards back in the day, at least). That being said,…

Tsb bank in the UK still do exactly this

I'm someone who was perfectly able to use anki and learn chinese to a decent level with fairly intense combined-type untreated (at the time) ADHD. What you need is a compelling rea…

Is this true in a marginal cost sense? I was under the impression most of the environmental impact occurred during the training stage, and that it was significantly less costly pos…

I've come across bitwise shift operators literally once in enterprise webapp world, specifically on this precise problem: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12900504/13238134 . I made a c…

Saw these guys talk at DEFCON this year, absolutely fantastic presentation. It was so powerful and important that I'd actually recommend watching it before pretty much everything e…

I've spent a lot of time in China over the years and most of their tech systems are built on the assumption that only Chinese folk will ever use it. In this case, the vast majority…

We've been essentially fully down for approx. 2 hours - since about 12:50pm UK time. We're a UK Government department, and have been unable to serve any of our pages covered by Azu…
