> That also includes codebases running on languages that teams don't always associate with AI coding tools, such as C, C++, C#, Java, PHP. What a strange comment for them to make. …

You only need a BMI of 30 to get a private subscription. That's a pretty large portion of the population (no pun intended).

At least some bits of it do. I was writing something to pull logs the other day and the redirect was to an azure bucket. It also returned a 401 with the valid temporary authed redi…

There's a model aircraft club near to where I live (UK). They have a runway and people use it most days. In the summer they have a two day festival where people come and camp and d…

Our VPN restarted about an hour ago and caused a bit of excitement, on the whole it's been a lot less _interesting_ than the last one thankfully.

Seeing various issues with GCP right now.

> a few weeks to get to the point of not wanting to smoke again That's a shockingly short amount of time for smoking. For me, after a few weeks I'd say some of the worst cravings h…

> Good reminder that we need a backup real time messaging app. I'm quite enjoying the quiet. There's still video or email in an emergency.

Babashka is truly wonderful and has taken over almost all my scripting projects. But the author started by saying they didn't want to use a language without types so Clojure is pro…

I spend way too much of my working life with package version ranges. It took me a minute to understand why this was wrong.

I've been at an organization that went from Java to Clojure about 12 years ago. I think there were two main things that allowed us to make the move: * No one was in love with Java.…

We've also had those macro nutrient warning flags on all packaged food for quite a few years in the UK. The sugar tax is on top of that. One of the main effects of the sugar tax wa…

Yes this is completely my experience too. I spent most of yesterday battling with the query planner. Sometimes you can't express with table statistics something that you know to be…

The fact that it's a router and not a PG extension is helpful if you are using cloud hosted postgres and don't want to get into the business of managing backups etc yourselves. Onl…

The makers of Peppa Pig made another program aimed at slightly older children called Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom that was much much better than Peppa Pig. It was much funnier an…

I do think they're right that the footpaths and rights of way are underappreciated here. Whilst I would appreciate a proper right to roam, it would be more about being able to lega…

Around 2001 pretty much all my friends had one. I owned 3 over that period (a friend destroyed one, the other me: skating falls were tough on them!) They were easily the best forma…

Matthias Wandel (woodgears.ca), who was an engineer at blackberry throughout a lot of this, reviewed the film a few months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yuqdr_1iRg

They had an article by Michael Howard last week about it being a success: https://www.economist.com/by-invitation/2023/07/06/thames-wa... Although they went quite far to be clear i…

This is a fun tool. It took me a minute to realise how to add chords as I though the chord root part was talking about the key or something. I found a bug: for one of the generated…

Yeah same in the UK although it doesn't sound like we take it as seriously. That said I think it's quite rare to find people that can't swim, even if they are very out of practise.…

I used the rust one a few weeks ago to shred my almost 17 year comment history. I was quite sad to do so but someone started harassing me for stopping them from scamming on the sub…

A few years ago I saw go go penguin perform their imagining of the koyaanisqatsi soundtrack live. It was one of the best things I've ever seen. I was spellbound from start to finis…

Bergen is one such place funnily enough.
