I live in a rural area, on the coast in the NW, and I have 5Gbps, with the option of taking it to 10. It’s not 2025 any more, OpenReach, B4rn, etc. Etc. Can provide fibre to a lot more places than it used to be possible, and all without polluting the skies with bright dots, if you’re an astronomer.
Even if it were true, and not just some Israel fantasy playing on a weak-minded "leader" ... Iran and the USA are in a shooting war. Why wouldnt this be considered "tuesday" ?
I was well off, 20 years at Apple, didn’t help me or my wife [1]. I don’t think the NHS is perfect, but I also don’t think they’d intentionally mistreat someone to make more profit. Healthcare in the USA is genuinely fucked, and in some cases, genuinely evil.
This. I never watch video posts. I can skim-read a text site in seconds to see if it's worth a real read. I can't do that with video, and there's always some ads in it, whether the author put them there or not. I hate ads.
And it's not just HN either, video is a very poor substitute for a well written article. Video can augment a well-written article, but it can't replace it.
Ah, but 'Manager' being vague is a feature, not a bug IMHO. Unless there's a 'ConnectionLifetimeManager' (which, to be honest, seems overkill in my experience), then I expect ConnectionManager to handle that. It's the catch-all, not the specific.
The contract I expect it to keep is (as I said above) the holistic view of the system of <item>s that it's managing. That can vary from type to type, but trying to pin down a class to just the exact thing it does is a fools errand (again, IMHO); there is a level of abstraction in naming that is somewhat above the code itself. Manager is the hint, the code is the truth.
YMMV I guess. It's worked pretty well for me for the past 40 years or so :)
A "Connection" handles all interaction between two nodes. No argument there.
A "ConnectionManager" handles all the housekeeping to do with the connections - whether there's a limit on connections, whether there's external API that influences behaviour, whether there's resource allocation to split between them and the policy for that, etc. etc. Basically all the things that a more holistic view of the system demands.
There's nothing wrong with a Manager-type class, as long as its task is management of that type. It shouldn't conflate the connection functionality as its own, I agree with that much, but there are two very distinct concepts being modelled here, by different classes.
Is the interesting part the upvotes, meaning there's more people interested in UK train networks than French ones ? And it's a comment on demographics ?
Or is the interesting part that the UK one is real-time, and the French one isn't (or at least, zooming in, I don't see them moving).
> There is no point in this conversation, it is pure emotional certainty coupled with a very vacuous understanding of the world you live in. You've been emotionally hijacked by your media consumption.
For Ukraine, America has treated them far worse than China, humiliating its leader, buying Russian oil, publicly agreeing with Putin, telling Ukraine to just give up its land and people, charging Ukraine for its support, trying to bend Ukraine over a barrel for mineral rights in exchange for weapons, I could go on.
China does what it says it will do. The US lies to your face and does what it wants to. One of these is a far easier country to deal with.
For me, I have to get planning permission (which I'm not likely to get) to install a normal outside-fan/inside-unit air-conditioner. That's the downside of living in a conservation-area. The house is viewable on 3 sides from the road because of where it sits at the junction of 2 roads, and on the side that is private, we're actually very close to the road, so the noise of the fans running rules out that position.
The other route (and I looked into it) is to get inside-only a/c (which doesn't need planning permission because there's no outside unit) which uses water as the transport medium instead - so now I'm also using a constant trickle/stream of water from the mains, heating it up to ~45C and then letting it go down the drain. Cost of this ? About £30k
In all, for the few weeks of overly-warm weather per year, I'm better off getting portable a/c units that vent through a window. Or fans.
