You’ll have to ask the company that eventually buys them out!

What annoys me is you still have to pay for audio books.
The true goal of Brexit, to hoard all our tea 🧐
Definitely chippy chips with battered fish.
I have no preference! It was to do with Spring/yaml config and some really strange conflict which required the use of single quotes. I’m still a total noob in the world of software dev, so I wouldn’t be able to explain why it worked 🤣
Removed double quotes, added single quotes
Unfortunately it excludes a great deal of gen x and millennials as well who may have voted remain.
It sucks. A lot of businesses, not just in game development, are getting rid of contractors as they’re expensive. I hope those contractors successfully find work soon.
I agree it can depend on the journey. Convenience can be different things to different people, if two people are travelling from London to Edinburgh by train that could cost around £240 one way, as opposed to driving which could cost around £80 one way. I’d say the cost savings there are convenient for the two people and depending on their budget could outweigh the convenience of one of them being able to sleep on the journey.
Commuting is another matter, if cost of commuting by public transport was cheaper, reliable, personable and generally a more pleasant experience then more people would do it. Once again it also depends on the journey!
Cars really are more convenient on an individual basis. It’s not ideal for the environment and getting stuck in traffic is a pain in the arse when it happens, but for the individual it provides greater benefits than public transport.
In the UK it’s cheaper than public transport, it’s much more reliable, it’s healthier (not being in close proximity to those who may be harbouring a flu), and it affords people the freedom to travel somewhere that public transport can’t get you sufficiently close to.
Personally I feel that the best step is to reduce the need for people to travel. If people don’t need to be in offices then don’t enforce policies to get them back in. That’ll reduce car usage as well as public transport.
If anyone genuinely feels this way and wants to get started in coding, I highly recommend doing one of the mooc.fi courses. Codecademy is fine as a taster/refresh but don’t waste money on the premium when something like mooc is available for free.

I’m a junior dev that has been on the job for ~6 months. I found AI to be useful for learning when I had to make an application in Swift and had zero experience of the language. It presented me with some turd responses, but from this it gave me the idea of what to try and what to look into to find answers.
I find that sometimes AI can present a concept to me in a way I can understand, where blogs can fail. I’m not worried about AI right now, it’s a tool to make our jobs easier!
Ah yes, I understand why they remove it as I don’t think it’s often used in its other contexts. I do prefer to use it to describe a bundle of sticks
Once you’ve cleaned it out you can buy USB-C port covers. They are so cheap for a bunch of them and prevents the issue from happening again
Now I need to know what it is. My first thought would be Spotted Dick, but then Dick is a name. Maybe Pork removeds? That one I can understand being removed.
I’ve only recently joined the dev world and I saw this post in the morning. Late this afternoon I’m doing a deployment that fails, couldn’t determine the cause as I’m a noob, before bothering a more senior dev for help I run it again… It worked.
I have to disagree with the Windows key being useless. Win+Shift+S for selective screen grab to clipboard. Win+E to open a new Explorer window. Win+D to show the desktop. They were my go-tos. Now I’m forced to use Mac I use the Win key all the time too, Win+C, Win+V…
Freed from desire - Gala Rizzatto. I always thought it was “My love has got no money, he’s got his trumbalyse” and I never knew what a trumbalyse was.
Also Peter Kay did a great bit around misheard lyrics.
This gave big uncanny valley vibes. I imagine it was meant to feel like a magical advert, but instead it felt creepy.
