I'd like to say this code is bad, but it's nothing compared with what I put up with on a daily basis.

And with different banks.

Really just a credit card with a different institution is enough to see you through something like this.

Yeah, we have 30 minute standups, and they often overrun. We don't, on the other hand, have grooming or estimation sessions or retros. The result is that the same issues plague us …

The pound is still with us, however I agree using the Euro makes more sense.

Indeed, the app, while nicely implemented, contained nothing groundbreaking.

So your refactor broke the tests, so you assumed the tests must be wrong.

Is that the same Homer Simpson who has a highly skilled job in the nuclear industry, earning well above the median.

Yes, typically 30, 40, 50, 60 and 90.

If I'm not mistaken, this is not some special power Royal Mail has. In the UK, anyone can launch a prosecution.

In fairness, the US would be idiotic to renege on their assurances. That essentially would be a valid reason to block any future extraditions. Saying that, we live in strange times…

There is already a mechanism suitable for your Facebook example use-case, namely publishing to an exchange which will send the message to multiple queues.

Good point, I think they've borrowed the terminology from goldbugs without really understanding it.

And what about this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Light_Tree

If it is coming out of a blind curve, then the vehicle should not be going very fast anyway.

I appreciate the need for caution, but these people are experts in what they do, any doubts we might have would have already been considered by them.

Not sure why you're getting the downvotes. If I pay for a 25kg bag instead of 20kg, and I don't use the extra, I definitely do not get a refund.

You need to bear in mind that it's common practice for one aircraft to fly several different routes, even in the same day. So it might do a short 2.5 hour flight in the morning, th…

Think of it as unpatched computer on your network, possibly with a built in microphone and camera.

But also perfect is the enemy of good. If wood pellets stop us burning coal in the short term while we transition to a carbon-neutral future, then that's surely a good thing.

Can you explain what you mean by food deficit? What counts as food, does wine for example count? How do you measure food? As in what unit, calories, mass, or pounds sterling? Does …

I love the way you say it so casually. In the grand scheme of things you are of course right, but I reckon converting a coal plant to gas is a non-trivial undertaking.

I love the metric system and all that, but perhaps 10,000 tonnes might be a better way of expressing the mass of the digger.
