Crudely speaking, the fact that they work at AWS means that it’s in their best interests for AWS to be perceived positively. When this is the case it’s often nice to state this con…

I always think of pence as 1/100 of a £, but pennies as multiple penny (1p) coins. I’m not sure whether it’s just me.

> …RedPanda, a scratch backend rewrite in Rust that is client API compatible I thought RedPanda was mostly C++?

Can confirm, I’m British and often use “cheers” to mean “thank you”.

It does say there’s a heroku edition “coming soon”

Not the OP but here in the UK there's a separate category of fridge-freezers called "American Fridge Freezers" which are typically the huge ones you describe. Everybody I know has …

Shouldn't that be ?

Are you in the UK? I too noticed how much emphasis there's been in the commentary in this tournament on players being "cute" with tactical fouls.

I think parent is using “shit-post” to describe a negative post. Like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shitposting

I take your point, but I don’t feel it’s disingenuous to take the quote at face value. Maybe the quote lost some context but talking about “...levels of voting...” being a negative…

I don’t think the Republican Party even try and disguise this fact President Trump talking about proposed electoral reforms: “They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever a…

Same race, different descent, different era, but this was also an eye popping descent Niccolo Bonifazio descending the cipressa https://youtu.be/Wb5G-18YLeI

I just read I Have America Surrounded[1] a biography of Timothy Leary and found it fascinating. His descriptions of levels of consciousness are a bit wacky but I think helped me un…

I think the responder misread your message and assumed you were adding a suffix like \+\w+ to the end of your email addresses like name@gmail.com -> name+suffix@gmail.com Several e…

This was the same for me. I think it’s because it was a line-level GitHub comment and the line has now changed. It is possible to expand the post if you click “Show Outdated” on th…

Does London have a reputation for bad food?

The lead engineer/designer on the project makes this claim in these slides. I don't know whether this gives the claim more veracity in your eyes, but it's there. [1]: http://martin…

I've never heard it described like that but you're right. Interesting counter point.

Anecodatal but: In London there are already multiple shops/restaurants/bars that no longer accept cash.

I assume you're referring to the media company 'oath'[1] not the auth framework 'oauth'[2]? [1]: https://www.oath.com/ [2]: https://oauth.net/

Is avoiding using "their services" sufficient or even possible/plausible? I may be being overly cynical here, but I think it's relevant. "The homepages of popular sites placed cook…

I assume the OP meant less environment damage from building roads, not that flying cars would be produce less CO2 than land cars.

You describe my experience almost exactly. One difference here in the UK is that I'm unable to even pay for HBO. I wanted to watch Generation Kill the other day, it seemed like it …

For anybody wondering. These areas of London are all extremely wealthy. It might be possible that the demographics populating these areas might be less 'grateful' for the services …
