We have a hydroelectric dam near us with a salmon leap next to it. Good visitor attraction too. It'll provide power for decades with little maintenance and not much further in the …

UK announcing they will ban under 16s on Social Media.

The existence of that article surely suggests there is no censorship of the information about his unpopularity?

There's an excellent Changelog podcast interviewing him which talks about his early career as well.

I keep them in my Bitwarden vault

Interesting, what markdown editor do you use on your phone?

I'd argue that while they can't "do" their own testing, developers should be writing Unit tests that prevent their code from being broken in future. They should also be writing tes…

I didn't like Inversions the first time I read it either but re-read all the Culture books, in order, after Banks died and enjoyed that. I think I was expecting it to be very Cultu…
