Many towns in Europe are the same way, because they predate cars and even horse drawn carriages...

Also go and visit Venice in summer, it blew my mind!

๐Ÿšจ Say that I were to give a talk to EU policy makers and OSS communities at a very big conference tomorrow..

and that I want to spend half of my talk on how Google is locking down through:
1. Device attestation
2. Developer registration
3. Age/identity verification

What should I absolutely include? ๐Ÿ‘€

Input is welcome, sorry for the short notice. Plain language + realistic calls to action pls.

What do you do when you get banned on British TV?

A black and white image shot from high up over a street in London. The image shows buses, taxis and cyclists as though it is taken from a CCTV camera recording.

There is yellow text across the image in capital letters that reads "THE TV AD WAS BANNED."

@liw
100%, indeed.

@mdione
Well, yes. 100% code coverage is a utopian desire that is probably not achievable in most real world code, and so yes review may still find bugs and that's good, and you should flag bugs if you see them in review.

It shouldn't be the goal of review though; review should not be about that, you should not focus on finding code bugs but instead you should focus on things the computer can't find.
@liw

@liw
Couldn't agree more.

Bugs are found through automated things like CI and test suites. Review is for things that automated tools can't find, such as design flaws, code style issues, and advice.

I have no plans to purchase a new vehicle

Give me a laptop and an Internet connection, and I will work from the top of Mount Everest to the bottom of the Mariana trench.

First proper concert in SA coming up ๐Ÿ™‚
poster of the great mass concert to be happening soon

@Anarcat
I gave up hope on that a long time ago...

It absolutely made my day too! It's the reason I'm even naming her personally ๐Ÿ˜‰

@mjg59
Do you have a link to all the documents in the case? I tried searching on their search form but can't find it.

I believe I'm named in the case too (using incorrect address information), and would like to confirm.

@juliank
For humidity, a dedicated dehumidifier is more efficient.

I have a portable aircon, but its water reservoir is fairly small yet takes days to fill up.

In the same room, the dedicated dehumidifier fills up its much larger reservoir in a single day, and it uses about 200W at most to do so.

Twitter post where github posted about a unauthorized access to their systems (hack)

reply says, holy shit, how did the attackers find a large enough uptime window to get in?

@Jeremy
Didn't vote because not Canadian, but:

I have sent emails to European MEPs in the past. My experience is that you will get a response from maybe 3 out of the 21 MEPs that Belgium had (at the time).

I especially liked the one time where Kathleen van Brempt went like, since your email wasn't the canned one from the campaign, here's my personal reply on top of my canned response.

@baldur
I mean, vs code is a Microsoft product. They don't care about security any more than they absolutely have to...

@bytebro
It is, and I usually can't reach it, it's just today that I can because I'm sick ๐Ÿคท
@mirabilos

@mirabilos
So today I'm sick and I now manage to croak out a Bb1 (assuming my piano is tuned correctly, which given we moved recently is not guaranteed).

It sounds pretty awesome, even though I need to occasionally search for the right note when it gets rather low
