Wool makes me itchy (I still wear it just not against my skin) but cashmere and merino don't have the same effect.

This is a big forgotten one. The sound of container ships as they go past on shipping lanes is colossal; if you're downwind you can hear them from 3/4 miles away quite well.

>It's a shell of a functional service.

I can't say this in any less of a politically charged way but 10 years of austerity will do that.

>In London alone, it is not possible to pay for public transport with cash and a card is required. Their reasons for doing this because it "benefits criminals" is echoing the "ban encryption" nonsense.

Not strictly true. You can buy an oyster card with cash, you can load it with cash and use that. After a weeks worth of journeys you can return it and get your £5 deposit back and buy another one.

Not exactly perfect but it's essentially the same as having a burner phone.

>NVIDIA Shield TV because it has a perfect Plex client

Pending you don't want to watch something in Dolby Vision.

I can either have Dolby Atmos come from the shield and a HDR video, or Dolby Vision through the TV and compressed AC3 audio of some kind from the TV.

Asking for both is apparently too much...

>Major distros are shipping with a better desktop experience than Windows right now, and it has been like that for a while.

Can you provide some examples here? I'm running Kubuntu and it's OK but not Windows level of slick.

Problems I'm having are display scaling and multi monitor support for different display resolutions, shitty wifi drivers and networking needing a restart whenever coming out of sleep.

The only OS that's doing what you're claiming at the moment is ChromeOS just because everything is so wonderfully integrated and _just works_. Even if that comes with handing your life over to Google...

>Then I assume you're not investing in We when they IPO.

Is anyone...?

>I have a couple friends that do day trading on "technical analysis".

As someone that trades on fundamentals I like to think of that as reading tea leaves. Literally non sensical. Oh yeah sure that pattern is the upside down elephant so we should go short...

No smoke without fire though so I assume some are making money with it. Just doesn't seem like a sound idea to me.

Longitude in itself doesn't dictate weather. Labrador is the same longitude as London but we don't have similar climates.

Köppen climate classification is probably the best indicator of where else is similar; which comes out as the same as most of northern Europe [1].

>Oh nice, you have two frameworks. Well, whatever suits your fixed mindset.

Let me see, you've got Django, DRF, Flask, Flask-Restful, Flask-Restplus, Flask-API, sanic, pyramid, Cornice, hug, falcon, eve, bottle, tornado, aiohttp, vibora, weppy, starlette...

Those are just some that I've picked out of my head.

>The UK grid is actually pretty well maintained and resilient

Also prefixed by not an expert here; but know a few in the industry and somewhat keep up with it.

The push away from coal to other sources of power (combined with the closure of gigawatts of nuclear power) has put the network under more stress than it's been in the past few decades [1]. I'd expect more of this in the future in cases of multi generator failures; there just isn't that much in the way of generation to take up the slack.

Luckily we're in summer where demand is much lower, if this was to happen in winter the outcomes could have been much worse.

//edit - Just to be clear though, this does seem to be totally benign and could have happened to any other well equipped grid. A gigawatt of power dropping out in such a short space is going to result in some kind of load shedding. Denorwig spins up fast; but not that fast.

Sure, often at a super initial stage the people running the test can just do this manually though. Don't be put off by having to set up the whole suite, a lot of the value from Chaos Engineering can be achieved from randomly removing bits of infrastructure manually (a d6 and a lookup table works fine). The value comes from the learnings as a result of infrastructure being terminated.

  Location: London or Lisbon
  Remote: Sure
  Willing to relocate: Sure as long as visa sponsorship is included.

Spent the past 4 years working in Adtech so have developed skills in running low latency applications at global scales. Senior level SRE (has managed a team of 5) or mid level Python developer. Looking for a job with some interesting technical problems and a fun team. Open to anything really.

They still burn peat AFAIK as well.

You're comparing apples to oranges. They're not pumped storage stations.

Chef Ping is found in plenty of high end kitchens; I know plenty of chefs who use them from pubs right the way up to two star kitchens.

Hell, even some of the sponge cake on the menu at el Bulli was microwaved.

In the UK and Netherlands plenty due to icesave AFAIK [1]. I'm not sure if deposits over the protected amount were ever paid back.

//edit - looks like they were by the UK and NL governments.

I've not followed this too much, but is this an intermediate step or can we expect more detail than this?

>I can type everything I'd issue as a voice command into my home screen. I have to install and learn just as few/many things and commands as I'd have to using voice recognition. Op might have underplayed something, you just made things up.

You are not the market that these are targeted at then. The normal person cannot do those things.

>Most construction jobs are very hard on the body.

So are sedentary jobs. Obesity, heart disease and everything else that goes with them are no joke.

>Aurora is an open source database. They just it picked up and made it closed source on Amazon.

This isn't remotely true at all. As far as I'm aware most of the work inside of aurora is in the storage side which is a complete rewrite with a new architecture as per here [1].

>Who develops Aurora? That would be Oracle. It’s called MySQL.

Christ.

sqlalchemy has a cockroach dialect.

>Experian

Don't you mean Equifax? Or have I missed something. Google doesn't show anything interesting...

Make it yourself at home. Triple cook the chips and they'll be far from bland. Make your own tartar sauce. Beer batter some fish you've bought yourself.

Crap chippy food is awful and just puts you in a coma, it's not the fault of the dish.

Jaeger is Uber.

>Fair point. Still, a gentleman's agreement between frienemy titans of industry (though illegal) is understandable

What? No it's not understandable. It's wage fixing and is totally immoral; it works against everything a free market is supposed to be. You might as well move to the communist model and have everyone paid $xxx (hyperbole but the point isn't that far off it).

>In fact I generally assume that ads have to be clicked on to make money.

Not at all. Most of the industry moved away from CPC a while ago due to how dodgy it skews data. Most clicks end up being bots on shady websites Vs actual people. Viewabilty is what the good agencies are advertising against now; with the hope that you'll navigate to the advertiser's site down the line.

>More broadly it facilitates discrimination.

This is also true, I certainly think if you're a white middle class person taking a knife to a friends you're going to get off easier than an someone from a ethnic minority in Tower Hamlets.

It also results in insane things like this [1]. I'm not sure if there's a better way though, it seems much like democracy it's the best of a bad bunch.
