"This person sent goodwill to one group of people so obviously wants other groups to die in a fire" is not really devil's advocate...

We're not using Github Actions, but CircleCI is also failing git operations on Github (it doesn't recognise our SSH keys).

It's so obvious from even just the vague screenshots that are hidden somewhere on the site that it's a VSCode fork, that I suppose I can see why they've tried to obfuscate that as much as possible.

He's done plenty (https://ukandeu.ac.uk/the-coming-collapse-in-immigration/), following on from the changes Sunak made, which are already showing up in the early numbers this year.

But of course it's never going to be enough for the noisily anti-immigration lot.

As someone who's been through that dance twice, it's 5 years from the time (well, day) you press "Submit" if you're applying online, or $RANDOM days of Royal Mail nonsense if you choose to apply by post.

I agree though, the Home Office doesn't have a way of knowing where you were fore sure 5 years ago unless they got someone to go through your "days in and out of the UK" list and vetted/cross-referenced it. And even then it'd likely be incomplete and they'd have to guess.

My surmise is that they look at the level of effort you've put in to filling out that detail, and if the total days in/out isn't particularly a borderline case, then they just wave that bit through.

CSV/Delimited file format management, for sure. (Reading, writing, choice of field/record delimiters, escaping, working with Excel's CSV quirks, etc.)

Could someone please post what this disappeared bit is supposed to look like? Looks legible to me when I screenshot and open in Preview on MacOS 15.6.1 (Firefox).

Totally OT, but thanks so much for DataTables! I used it for a tiny personal project a few years back and it's been quietly chugging away with barely any maintenance required. It was so easy to get up and running with the documentation, implement and customise to my heart's content -- truly an excellent piece of open source!

Funnily enough, the blog post itself has a counterexample in their singular noun example: the table^Wrelation name is `user` which is highlighted by the syntax highlighter as being a keyword. I'd wager the same thing would happen for a table named, say, `transaction`.

Some DB engines won't let you use a keyword as identifiers for anything unless it's quoted, and then you either have to quote everything, or end up in a weird situation where some things are quoted and some aren't.

On my Android, it's called "M365 Copilot", which is even more wtf...

My Pi-hole runs on a ~13 year old Model B, which has survived several house moves. Definitely don't need top of the line hardware for it!

I'm OOTL, what happened at Komoot..? Vaguely interested because I'd considered applying there for a role a year or so back but never went through with it...

People in India might know them as the "VR" in the PVR chain of cinemas in some cities across India.

Yeah I was just about to say this -- I used Sametime via Pidgin (I think it may still have been called Gaim back then) on my work Linux machine and it was actually quite nice.

My favourite Sametime feature within Pidgin was, well, tabs (I can't remember if the Windows client had tabs as well..?), which was revolutionary for an IM client in 2005.

But my secret actual favourite feature was the setting which automatically opened an IM window /tab when the other person merely clicked on your name on their side (because the Sametime protocol immediately establishes a socket connection), so you could freak them out by saying hello even before they'd sent their initial message.

Now I'm curious as to the name of this dialect, please?

I assume Palakkad Tamil, which is more Malayalam than Tamil.

Wouldn't be a DOGE thread without scarab92 carrying water for this nonsense.

Why do you assume their costs are going up the same percentage? It's not clear from the linked article, but maybe their costs per your example are going up 12% from 500 to 600, and they're only raising prices by 10% to 1100 to keep the same margin.

Of course I doubt this would actually be the case (because capitalism), but that's the one of the assumptions you're missing in your example.

Snowflake also allows trailing commas :)

FWIW, I've tried everything suggested in the replies to you so far, and nothing's worked. I've just given up trying to play any first-person POV games, sadly.

Well, Copilot is an anagram of "Clip too", which is sort of like Clippy 2.0, or Clippy Too. Microsoft's really missing a trick here!

Having done a bit of consulting for Chelsea FC, I wouldn't recommend working there in an office job. Poor pay (I doubt anyone below "Head of"/CxO even touches 6 figures) and very average working conditions.

Phew, I was briefly worried that the website in question was https://zombo.com :D

I use https://rectangleapp.com/ for KDE-like window management on my Macbooks.

I found it easier to "get" when I started thinking of jazz as the beat poetry of music.

I was a bit puzzled initially by the phrasing as well, but I've listened to that podcast episode and what parent commenter means is that quiz shows in the UK (like Only Connect, Mastermind, etc.) are doing really well in the TV ratings.

I'm confused -- are they just closing the issues because they're outdated for various reasons, or are they yanking those features entirely where there's some attempt already made?

For example, the top one in that list is the "Command Palette" -- but it's already live and working fine! And I'm pretty sure "Precise code navigation" also already exists for TypeScript.

So are these features that are already GA going to be removed..?

What a fun read! I should point out though that the movie Saina definitely needs a "name" icon next to it, as it's a biopic of badminton player Saina Nehwal.
