Also a great teaching language, as used at London Imperial College Electrical and Electronic Engineering dept. in the early 00s. Gave you lots of power but not too much, and enough rules to force you to learn without doing mad things. I have fond memories. And I miss the compilation speeds!
The problem is people buying cheap devices that skirt or fake existing battery quality regulations. There would surely be a higher number of people making that kind of purchase if they were to be allowed on UK public roads.
I can’t see how anyone would be made safer by decriminalising scooters - either charging them at home or out on the roads.
There are plenty of tests available since then, we picked some up recently. This was a temporary blip, if anything. You can see the testing rate on the gov dashboard [0] and it hasn’t really changed enough to account for the fall in cases.
Sunshine is the other big variable. Most fruit will only get sweet during ripening if it's receiving enough sunlight. This is why red grapes are seldom grown in northern latitudes - their dark skin blocks sunlight and prevents them from sweetening during ripening.
I'm guessing they don't do this voluntarily because they've seen how the music industry had its revenues eroded by Spotify/iTunes (where mostly the user can pick one and get pretty much everything). They're probably ignoring the fact that music piracy is presumably lower than ever because of this.
A lovely tribute - and please take this as constructive criticism nitpick - but it would be even better if the Readme was in markdown so that GitHub would render it correctly on mobile.
It’s nice to see the .NET Core team hitting on the same solution as we are heading for internally for our multi-repo builds - the “dependency flow” with Maestro sounds very similar to what we intend to do with propagating latest NuGet package versions to consumers via PRs, then auto-merging those PRs if all checks pass (and the repo owner has opted into this, of course).
Will the .NET Core team open source this tooling I wonder?
For the TfL API, have a look at https://api.tfl.gov.uk/. You can also get GeoJSON line strings of the bus stops (or other modes of transport!) if you’re interested.
Could be! It’s an emotional moment and not a particularly nice place to wake up. But there’s definitely something at the back of your mind telling you something fairly awful happened. Of course your mind knows this anyway - you know you had surgery and have the scars - so it could all be an illusion.
Even if you don’t wake up during surgery, it feels like there’s an imprint of the trauma. I had a very long operation and by the time I came round I was in pieces emotionally, with no clear idea of what had happened but still a deep sense of dread. On some level it felt like my body knew what had just happened.
You can learn to type very quickly on a touchscreen keyboard and work within and be helped by the autocorrect. If you’re typing a couple of sentences why does it even matter that you’re not up to full keyboard typing speed? Sure, if you’re typing an essay, but why would you be doing that on your phone anyway?
