Let's hope it doesn't have the third movement in it or else we'll be needing new keyboards.

This is a great kind of thing for getting people into music. There's a piano in my local pub and when people say they "can't play piano" I'll play a 2-5-1 in C and tell them to hit any of the white notes. People lov

Aaah - back in the day when we used to link 26 Access databases together, one for the first letter of a customer's surname... :)

No Saruman vs Gandalf rematch in the original films. It was included in the director's cut but then you could see why they left it out.

I can't believe I didn't know this for all these years. I was just guessing/remembering bits of info.

That sounds the same setup as Nice Guy Eddie has in Reservoir Dogs. Probably you don't want to meet the people who had those cards as they might have a penchant for chopping people's ears off and setting them on fire.

Yeah same here. Noticed it late last night UK time, multiple attempts at reinstalling webview made no difference. New update now fixed everything. So the faulty version was up for a good few hours?

The best way I found to learn git is to read the first 3 chapters of Pro Git. Yes it's a pain, yes you're going to have to sit through the "distributed source control" speech again, but the enlightenment of realising why

I went on holiday to Spain once, bought an inflatable dinghy and paddled with a friend for a long time around the coast until we got to a beach. On the beach was a naked man. After we had convinced him to get some pants on (mickey mouse box

Looks like it depends on WebRTC javascript apis which Brave browser might not support? EDIT: More specifically, it needs to support getDisplayMedia() https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Media

You can try setting up https://www.kurento.org/ Note that all modern browsers support WebRTC. I wrote a simple server to setup WebRTC sessions between browsers that worked, but it's probably easier to use kurento.

Right - the chart shows that there was significantly more ice on average for 1981-2000 than there has been in the last 5 years. Hence the ice is decreasing. Go look at the chart again.

I worked at a place once where we were told to pick a naming system for the releases. We chose "Genesis" as the first one. Our boss, whom we didn't know was religious, says, "that's fantastic! Books of the bible, ye

> Don't get me started on "DevOps" engineers. It's either rebranded sysadmins doing the same thing but maybe with some CI/CD. Or Developers who have been thrown to the wolves. This made me laugh! This is so true.
