Yeah, humans regularly deliver stuff wrong on our street. There is no way robots will manage. I get packages for both by neighbours and they get mine more often than correct deliveries and one of my neighbours is a business.

A great example of this is TSA luggage locks. Mandated backdoor, master keys leaked by company that makes them, now anyone can open any TSA approved lock.

I like to think this whole thing will collapse and there’ll be a massive demand for real programmers to clean up/rewrite all the AI slop.

But your thing seems more likely.

I meant running windows on them, its enormous and its all linux servers. I know you can run windows but it’ll be a tiny fraction.

This is my thought, they’ve all but lost the battle for cloud servers and they’d rather the developers computers were Windows. WSL allows that.

10% of petrol is ethanol now. That’s what the E10 means, so I’d say it’s pretty massive

This is the same in UK. There are people who believe that illegal immigration is the reason rents are high and jobs are hard to get and also they’re all on benefits. It’s illegal to rent to or employ an illegal immigrant and I’m not sure how they are supposed to apply for benefits as an illegal immigrant but the narrative persists. Legal immigrants here have zero access to any benefits at all.

But, obviously it is all their fault and not those illegally employing and housing them.

We also maxed out the limit twice. 10k for us. Went 2k over the first time. Second time is this year so hoping he doesn’t need anything expensive before June. He’s has 2 total hip replacements at £8500 each.

I did this once, it was legitimate but he refused to tell me even what department he called from. I said i wasn’t going to give personal into to an incoming call and i wasn’t calling back unless i knew why. He ended up mailing me a letter instead.

I almost got scammed a few years ago by being called about fraudulent activity the day after i reported fraudulent activities, in hindsight I think they just got lucky with timing, but I take no chances now.

Ever noticed how decades ago if someone defeated a bank’s security we called it bank robbery, but now it’s called identity theft and we get blamed for it.

It’s taken me a while to learn how to use it and where it works best but I’m coming around to where it fits.

Just today i was doing a new project, i wrote a couple lines about what i needed and asked for a database schema. It looked about 80% right. Then asked for all the models for the ORM i wanted and it did that. Probably saved an hour of tedious typing.

The town i used to live in, population 180,000, has a big park right outside the centre. It’s got a lake, open grass, a small wood. It’s a very nice park. Always busy.

The west edge is bordered by a 7ft wire fence and beyond it is a golf course 2.5x larger than the park. At a glance it looks very similar except this land is reserved for the exclusive use of ~500 members.

It’s not really an option for renters, tenants aren’t going to pay for solar panels on someone else’s house and landlords wouldn’t get any benefit.

I’d rather see public investment in grid installations that can benefit everyone, not just the poorest who were rich enough to buy a house, along with reforming the energy market so pay what the energy actually cost and not as if it was all gas.

Another one for immich but I’m also running immich-public-proxy. It proxies just the share links so the entire instance isn’t public.

My last job did this. They offered more for those who had worked there longer. People with over 15 years got about a years pay and they all took it. People who had been there under a year got nothing so they all stayed.

I was going to take then they withdrew the offer for all devs. I think a lot tried to take it and they realised no one would be left. I would have got 3-4 months pay. Loads of institutional knowledge lost though, i left anyway a few months later.

Since before bitcoin we’ve had Faster Payments in UK. I can transfer money directly to anyone else’s bank account and it’s effectively instant. It’s also free. Venmo and cashapp don’t serve a purpose here.

The bit about SEND is a lie because they are exempt from the new tax. The “hardworking parents” bit always annoys me, it implies the 93% just aren’t working hard enough. If that’s the case I’m sure those who can’t afford the tax can just work a bit harder to cover it.

Makes me wonder what we did wrong. We had a 20 person wedding. Immediate relatives only, parents grandparents and siblings plus their partners.

I paid for everything, including an open bar. We got 1 gift from my wife’s grandparents and that was it.

Theres an extra detail that is often missed, in 2011 the roll out was accelerated by 4 years and there’s some evidence it may have taken in to 2014 to notify everyone affected so it’s possible you may have been expecting to get a pension in 2016 and with just over a year’s notice find it’s been moved to 2020.

They also increased the age to 66 and now 67 for everyone.

I have more sympathy for those but that’s a much smaller cohort than the 3M figure being reported.

It’s not even true. He wasn’t an MP at the time it happened.

This is exactly what my RS was like, very inclusive and secular and my teacher was an Anglican priest. He didn’t let his own views impact his teaching. I didn’t appreciate it at the time but he was a great teacher.
