If you just want geo coordinates, you could use any open source app and copy+paste them into a note or something.

Gosh that’s awful and I’m so sorry for you.

If you’re into gaming, this entire channel is full of hilarity.

80 world-class engineers sounds like more than enough people. It’s not like Valve struggle to acquire talent and are thus forced to have teams and teams of juniors who are masters at building tech debt.

Valve will likely be hiring and retaining the kinds of engineers who love a good refactor and appreciate the time and space to do that rather than some product manager pressuring for the next shiny shit they wanted yesterday.

And Steam is their money printing machine that keeps them free to do whatever they want. It’s no surprise their team have stayed invested in continuing to build out the best gaming platform of all time.

80 talented, passionate, and healthily paid engineers > 800 junior, sleep deprived, and struggling to buy groceries “coders”.

Fucking finally.

What is?

This nonsense still floating around all these years later.

Supposedly the predecessors to the ancient Greeks mistook the skull of a breed of small elephants as the skull of a one-eyed giant.

No ash or dark fumes emitted - I assume did something clever underground to capture or filter it. But plenty of steam billowed out of the cooling tower. During cooler parts of the year, the steam would freeze and turn into snow which was a lot of fun to go and have a snowball fight in late autumn.

But then again, I’m possibly just blissfully ignorant and lung cancer will get me any day now.

Whilst it’s nowhere near as big of a contributing factor as those mentioned above, the election was also called during the time of year the largest number of people are holidaying.

Fully agree. People travel for thousands of miles to see the windmills in the Netherlands. They’re no different and the beautiful white and curved designs makes them look like a true wonder of modern engineering achievement.

Fuck yes. I live very close to a wind farm and can see them from my window. They’re marvels and, alongside the several local solar farms too, it’s such a positive feeling knowing that, regardless of the weather, clean energy is being created.

I know plenty oppose these things but having grown up next to a coal power plant, I’ll take a stunning wind turbine any day over those giant cooling tower monstrosities.

You’re right. They’re terms far older than web development. In general the front is the abstraction while the back is the logic/processing. It started as a term for old, large (room-sized) systems where there were front-end machines such as plugboards or terminals, with back-end machines being the CPUs, memory, etc.

Conway’s Law applies in this respect; the mess in governance of Nix has produced a product that reflects that mess. Nix started a beautiful movement but like many first movers, they rarely reap long-term rewards.

That’s one of the things I’ve loved about France since university; a deep and unbridled passion for politics and no shame in standing up for what one believes in.

Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day.

You’re absolutely right. That train runs across the Swiss Plateau with mountains either side of the plateau. Historically, if you were going to grow any produce, that was where you would grow it so it’s no surprise there’s such a density of people in the flatter part of an extremely mountainous country.

Because the writer doesn’t want some huge corporation buttfucking them into legal oblivion because they can’t afford lawyers to refute?

Don’t. I still miss Sun. I miss that “Hey, fuck MS Office’s crazy pricing. Let’s buy their competitor for less and open source it!” energy.

We need more of that in these times.

I remap Caps Lock to Ctrl to this day as that’s where it’s meant to be, god damn it!

Eh, why feed Reform or Conservatives any on-the-edge voters at this late an hour by making them fear a vote for Labour is a vote for more Brexit madness.

His statements are full of weasel words too, as have other party member’s statements. It’s not an insane take, just a “I don’t think we will” to avoid arming opponents with something to fearmonger with.

They need a term, and if they can change the perspective on EU membership and see polling supports rejoining (and they’ve the funds to pump into the obscene political advertising it’ll require to not get drowned out by Conservatives like before the referendum), they just might go for it in a second term.

I have a funny feeling the person who wrote that didn’t do too well at school and that’s the best handwriting they can pull off.

It very well could be they’re overhyping what is ultimately just Crazy Taxi but as you drive around, other players are instanced in and out (a la Sea of Thieves) to make it feel more dynamic.

Unless they change the game formula heavily, it’s not the kind of game you sit and play all night every night like other MMOs strive to be.
