> That also includes codebases running on languages that teams don't always associate with AI coding tools, such as C, C++, C#, Java, PHP. What a strange comment for them to make. Why wouldn't I expect CC to work well with thos

You only need a BMI of 30 to get a private subscription. That's a pretty large portion of the population (no pun intended).

At least some bits of it do. I was writing something to pull logs the other day and the redirect was to an azure bucket. It also returned a 401 with the valid temporary authed redirect in the header. I was a bit worried I'd found a mas

There's a model aircraft club near to where I live (UK). They have a runway and people use it most days. In the summer they have a two day festival where people come and camp and do model plane stuff. Presumably it's the Glastonbu

Our VPN restarted about an hour ago and caused a bit of excitement, on the whole it's been a lot less _interesting_ than the last one thankfully.

> a few weeks to get to the point of not wanting to smoke again That's a shockingly short amount of time for smoking. For me, after a few weeks I'd say some of the worst cravings had passed. But for a good year or two afterward

Babashka is truly wonderful and has taken over almost all my scripting projects. But the author started by saying they didn't want to use a language without types so Clojure is probably out!

I spend way too much of my working life with package version ranges. It took me a minute to understand why this was wrong.

I've been at an organization that went from Java to Clojure about 12 years ago. I think there were two main things that allowed us to make the move: * No one was in love with Java. It was fine but we were doing the whole spring style s

We've also had those macro nutrient warning flags on all packaged food for quite a few years in the UK. The sugar tax is on top of that. One of the main effects of the sugar tax was that so many manufacturers just changed their recipe

Yes this is completely my experience too. I spent most of yesterday battling with the query planner. Sometimes you can't express with table statistics something that you know to be true for the exact query that you're making. Ther

The fact that it's a router and not a PG extension is helpful if you are using cloud hosted postgres and don't want to get into the business of managing backups etc yourselves. Only azure supports Citus as far as I know.

The makers of Peppa Pig made another program aimed at slightly older children called Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom that was much much better than Peppa Pig. It was much funnier and the characters were so much better and more likeable.

I do think they're right that the footpaths and rights of way are underappreciated here. Whilst I would appreciate a proper right to roam, it would be more about being able to legally wild camp. In terms of actually getting to places t

Around 2001 pretty much all my friends had one. I owned 3 over that period (a friend destroyed one, the other me: skating falls were tough on them!) They were easily the best format for portable music until mp3 players got their capacity pr

This is a fun tool. It took me a minute to realise how to add chords as I though the chord root part was talking about the key or something. I found a bug: for one of the generated progressions it had 4 chords but played multiple chords at

Yeah same in the UK although it doesn't sound like we take it as seriously. That said I think it's quite rare to find people that can't swim, even if they are very out of practise.

I used the rust one a few weeks ago to shred my almost 17 year comment history. I was quite sad to do so but someone started harassing me for stopping them from scamming on the sub I moderate and I realized that it was just a liability. On

It was the 15 year anniversary recently. But I think it's just general hackernews language waves. Someone posts something, it does well, other people get interested, find things post them and onwards.

Yes, this was exactly my thought. An ashtray to my mind is a beer branded plastic type thing. They also weren't entirely fireproof so they were often slightly melted if someone left a lit cigarette on it, or the contents set on fire. M

I would love the right to wild camp in England. That said I do wonder how well it would stand up to our much higher population density. The current system does kind of work despite its lack of rules or clarity. I think our trespass rules ar

It usually depends a lot on both the culture of the area and how often the paths are used. Where I am in Somerset there are an incredible number of paths, there's barely a field without a path through it. The routes are well marked and
