I know, I'd like to reward the companies who do it properly though. Well, company.

There are a few things like that which stand out when I'm watching/listening to American media.

Another is 'on accident'.

I learnt to type on an Acorn Archimedes 3000 which had Ctrl to the left of A. I was so happy to find HHKBs in the late 00s had the same feature and have been using once since. I wouldn't mind never having a CapsLock again.

The grey tunic looks German WW1 (Bavarian Artillery?) but the insignia on the hat looks like the Panzer division.

The meal deal was a Boots invention around the turn of the century. It's amazing that now it's a thing in every supermarket and petrol station.

> The ban will therefore include platforms like Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X.

> "We do not intend for messaging services like WhatsApp and Signal to be included in the social media ban."

YouTube is a bit of a surprise here, but I guess with Shorts they put themselves in the same category as Tiktok, etc.

It's still happening.

I built some libraries that ease the process, and they power the new MOJ Forms and GOV.UK Forms.

Rails still has a decent foothold across departments, but it's being nibbled away at by Python and.NET.

They certainly pull no punches.

If this is happening to award winning match officials, it doesn't bode well for the ordinary fans.

This looks fantastic.

I worry that its scope might be a bit wide.

From planning region-wide infrastructure (the thing I love about city builders/OpenTTD) right down to deciding how many wardrobes someone needs. How well can it do those things and everything inbetween?

But, I'll definitely be giving it a go. Thanks for posting the link.

This might be a good opportunity for Microsoft to bring back their 'total cost of ownership' advertising campaign.

The problem with 'in most cases' when it comes to a design system that's used in hundreds of different ways across departments and services, is that some week break.

I don't really like the div either (I use the design system all day, and maintain a set of components), but it makes documentation much easier.

Obviously I mean PostgreSQL themselves don't have one, like Redis, MongoDB etc.

Me too. All my computers have Noctua fans and I don't care in the slightest that they're the same colour as my parents' sofa in the 1980s.

I have a couple of their screwdrivers too. I'm with with brown.

'I'm going to the library', said Hermione.

You put the punctuation where it makes sense. If it belongs to the quote, it goes inside. If it belongs to the sentence, it goes outside.

There's an interesting video by Mark Lewis on this.

You don't 'often' need a new version, if you bought Pro today it'd work with all current gen cameras from the major manufacturers, and probably get updates for a couple of years.

I understand that Capture One aren't going to support old software for decades, and I'm fine with that.

I'll worry about that when it happens, but I'm more than happy with my D500/D850 for the foreseeable future.
