Meanwhile, most places in London pay at least the minimum wage (not lower for waitstaff, but not necessarily living wage) and tack on an optional 12-20% service charge, and don’t give it to staff.

You have to determine if the service charge goes to staff, awkwardly refuse the service charge, and (optionally) tip your waitstaff in cash (and if you do, ask they split it with back of house)

The times we’ve done it seems to make the staff happy. Still a shit thing to do.

Israel better start to follow the Geneva convention and start building particle accelerators under their cities.

Let’s not get carried away.

• I’m lazy
• I can
• makes me look my age
• razor burn sucks
• 3’o clock shadow sucks
• who cares?

It’s Farquaad

If you ignore the mildly abusive familial relationship. Sure.

Yes, because my imported car tunes to a foreign radio station that doesn’t exist when you first turn it on, the “source” button cycles through all 27 of the pre-programmed foreign radio stations then moves onto digital radio then CD and then Bluetooth, but picks my wife’s phone first, and needs to fai before allowing you to move onto the next phone.

Honestly, I just drive in silence most of the time.

I’m old, I have other shit to do, and I don’t have the time. If I’m writing code, I’m doing it because there is a problem that needs a solution. Either solving someone else’s ‘problems’ for $$$, or an actual problem at home.

If it’s a short term problem like “reorganising some folders” I’m not going to (re)learn another language. I’m going to smash it out in 30mins with whatever will get the job done the quickest, then get back to doing something more important.

If it’s an ongoing problem, I’m going to solve it in the most sustainable way possible. I might fix the problem now but 100% someone’s going to drop support or change an API in 2 years time and it’ll break. Sure, doing it in Chicken would be fun. But the odds are, I won’t remember half the shit I learned 2 years later. It’ll be unmaintainable. A forever grind of learning, fixing, forgetting.

So without a commercial driver to actively invest in Lisps, there’s no point. It’s not profitable and It doesn’t solve any problems other tools can. Without the freedom youth brings, I don’t have the time to do it “for fun”.

I love lisp. Well, scheme and less so clojure. I don’t know why. Is it macros? Is it the simplicity? Or is it just nostalgia from learning it during a time in my life.

But I just can’t find a place for it in my life.

It’s not job material, effectively nobody uses it. It doesn’t solve basic problems with ease like Python does.

And because of this, anything I do in it is nothing more than a toy. As soon as i put it down, I have no hope of picking it up or maintaining it in 6,12,24 months later.

A toy I spend 2 weeks in absolute joy, but as soon as life gets in the way it is dead.

At least the south east.

(Edit) I say this but reading and Guildford call them cheesy bobs and cheese logs.

What the fuck.

My brother behaves weird with Linux (fedora 39 silverblue).

When doing multiple copies of double sided printing, it’ll print [1|2] [1|1] [2|2] [1|1] [2|2] and then repeat until you realise you now have onen copy of what you want and 10 pages of one side, and 10 pages of the other side.

It’ll also randomly refuse jobs, and then print them 30 minutes later (lmao if you printed multiple copies, gave up and went for a walk)

My Panasonic I replaced it with was better, but you had to download binary blobs to make it work.

But, Linux has gotten more and more complicated in the last 20 years I really can’t be fucked working out if it’s the printer, cups, flatpacks, the app that’s printing, or all of the above.

Now I just email myself a PDF and print from my phone. Fucking stupid but it works.

It’ll work to some degree, but with retailers using price discrimination they’ll give you prices based on many factors that they think will get them the most money.

Also consider:

• iPhones and MacBooks are an indicator of wealth, crank up those prices
• location is another significant indicator. Live in the Bay Area? You rich, you can probably afford higher prices. Bay Area MacBook? Chriiiiist gonna rinse you dry.
• browser fingerprinting bypasses cookies and is the same in incognito and regular tabs.

$5 that this is all fluff.

They’ll “set up the framework” and then not use it.

“Ah yeah, Australian building standards far exceed ours in most metrics, but none of it’s been … uh … earthquake tested. Yes! None of its been earthquake tested. So … no”

Then labour will come in, start to actually use it, and when we flip flop back to National, finger point, blame, and retroactively tear it all down. Then anyone with Australian building materials in their house get their insurance claims denied or something equally absurd.

Weapon guidance system never miss comrade. System trained with Ivan 100,000 times.

Because:

• Mozilla needs money, and I’m assuming there’s a financial incentive for them
• buying Mullvad one month at a time is annoying as shit
• a years subsection is half price
• it’s pretty much the same thing. I just had to change my Mullvad public key with my Mozilla one and my connection still worked.

Agreed.

Resilio sync works better. But the “sync identity” thing is broken, and configuring it declaratively is hard.

But 100% agree. Would love a virtual file system solution. Ideally one which you can use to fill available disk space and ensure you always have a minimum number of copies.

Mozilla, because:

• rebranded Mullvad
• funds Mozilla
• can buy a year subscription

There are still servers?!

Do state cases stay state cases?

Could “someone” leak some evidence that would make the case a federal one, and then pardon himself?

And this is why I asked my provider to turn off voicemail.

I don’t want to talk to them. Whoever they are.
