I feel like they could have avoided all this argument by saying won’t raise taxes on working people’s earnings, rather than just working people. Any sane and honest person knows what they meant and the whole thing is just trying to gotcha them. Just shows they don’t have any substantive criticism.

Haha I know what you mean. It’s in St Helens unless there’s more than one

i got that once, except it was my exact question with no response at all, then i noticed it was me that posted the question 4 years earlier.

i used to use stack overflow a lot back in 2007/08 but i cant remember the last time i actually got an answer.

Definitely. What I didn’t mention is all that took over a month!

Been there many times. Had one case where support had to through the reseller who sold licenses in our country. Actual people who knew what they were talking about was tier 3.

We had a bug and were trying to report it and get a fix or workaround. Just told no, we’re doing it wrong. After a lot of back and forth we had to pay for an “expert” to fly over and show us what we were doing wrong. Turns out he wasn’t an expert, he was a salesmen. Made a demo for us on the flight and the first time he ran it was in our meeting room on projector.

Failed in exactly the way we had been saying. It was very satisfying.

Finally he phoned the dev team who confirmed the docs were wrong and we couldn’t do what we were trying.

I think another key difference is everyone can use whatever tool they like and still work on the same codebase. They don’t have proprietary file formats that lock in you and your entire team forever.

Same for me. Last day i worked in an office was March 2020. Haven’t done a single day since and don’t intend to ever again

Cave people didn’t have lead poisoning either

Several years ago I was working on water sites and they didn’t even have accurate info about the stuff on their own sites. The head office staff thought they did though. Just the computers did not match reality. Running many of the sites was entirely reliant on the knowledge of site operators who were all about to retire. There was no younger staff being taught anything either.

I’ve been using silverbullet.md

Its more notes than wiki I guess so depends what you’re after.

This doesn’t really seem like a new problem. It wasn’t so long ago that most news was disseminated in text form which has been easily faked forever. The solution should be improving the ways of verifying the information we receive. I guess the main difference now is most people would see a video on social media and believe it. 20-25 years ago I was taught not to believe everything you read online and that hasn’t changed.

Here’s the UKs advice https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/usa/safety-and-security

Its the area of a town that has all the retail shops. A lot of towns have a road literally called High Street but the term is generalised to mean the main retail area of a town. Typically smaller shops in the town centre rather than out of town shopping centres and retail parks with larger stores and dedicated car parking

I use audible, then download with audible-cli and decrypt with ffmpeg.

Your tap water is expensive! Is that a typical rate? Its $551 for me for the 5l/hr for 5 years. $0.0075 per gallon. This is in UK. Its billed at £1.98/1000l.

Probably half the offices I’ve worked at had no AC at all. One job I had moved to a new building that didn’t have AC, they spent a fortune installing it, then were required to remove it when they vacated the building a few years later.

Yeah, this is a pretty nothing story. Seems like it is just trying to generate outrage. I wonder if all this could be solved by the government simply buying 650 residences in London and assigning them to sitting MPs while covering all the bills and maintainancne on those properties but it would probably be much more expensive

I’m running Jellyfin on 6th gen i3 and quicksync works fine.

It would quickly get very annoying because one of those essential cookies is remembering that you rejected the rest.

The law doesn’t actually mention cookies at all. Its about tracking users, they need your explicit consent to track you or to share data about you with third parties. Cookies are the primary way of doing this but there are others and they need your consent too.

You’ve never worked in finance then. All our systems at work do nothing but move large amounts of txt files around.

That said, many of our clients still don’t support utf-8 so its all ascii and non-latin alphabets are screwed. They can’t even handle characters 128-255 so even stuff like £ is unsupported.
