    I'm being careful not to explicitly out myself to maintain some level of anonymity here :D but safety-critical, that should help narrow it down! There isn't a whole lot of tech stu…

    As a fellow Bath resident I had to see if I recognised the name (it's a small place) and turns out we have worked at the same place in Bath (although many years apart!) Bathcamp ca…

    I've recently started a part-time MSc (with no prior degree or university experience) and I've found Typst brilliant. I've been using this template - https://typst.app/universe/pac…

    Ask HN: How do you prevent the impact of social media on your children?

    I don't yet have children but having grown up during the rise of social media, it's clear to me that the way it is used now by young children and teens has transformed even from wh…

    fwiw I wasn't able to drop down the sections on your CV site. I have strict web filtering at work though so may be a problem on my end

    Anyone interested in other languages that implement this should take a look at the SPARK subset of Ada. Pre and postconditions work in the same way and enforce the same behaviour d…

    Peak HN to clearly not even spend 1 minute to understand the content to then come in the comments ranting about how bad it is and that it's wrong. Sure, some of the ordering of dif…

    A procedure I’ve been impressed with is that as soon as you disclose an allergy, the manager will come over with the massive allergen booklet, help take your order and then go and …

    I don't subscribe to this take either. As the partner of someone with a server nut allergy why should we be restricted to only eating food we have prepared? Restaurants have to be …

    Why can't we blame those who prepared the food? In settings such as this, at a company as large as Disney, it's not acceptable for there to be cross contamination of allergens. If …

    No trouble, you just have a different writing style!

    They're brief but they also sound so bot-ish in the way they're written, I'm not the only one to have pointed that out in the thread

    The comment history does read much like you'd expect from a bot, lots of short, generic statements that vaguely tie to the subject of the post

    This reminds me of the very first project that I worked on, a warning system for rail trackside workers. There had been numerous case studies of near misses, injuries and even fata…

    Volterra is another great place, albeit a little drive away but a beautiful one - taking you through winding mountain roads with fabulous views. One of my favourite ever drives (an…

    But that isn't the intended use case for YT? How are you expecting to watch a professionally produced TV show on YT for free? YT offers a catalogue of tv shows and films that you c…

    That wasn't the angle I got from the post at all. To me they were focusing on how un-noteworthy it actually is to be top 1%. All they had to seemingly do was take an extra couple s…
