@BillCiphersSlut @miaaowing And also...

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@BillCiphersSlut @miaaowing She's got you covered.

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@YouGov The full per-VI-poll data table files seem to have been moved or lost in the web site redesign. Is there somewhere new I can find them?

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@272BookFaith We're missing you! Message me or Hol if you're trying to find us :)

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@JLPartnersPolls @TheSun Please could you post the full data tables? I was expecting them at https://t.co/V8f9EhzTZ7 - if they're anywhere else, please link...

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@ElectionMapsUK @JLPartnersPolls Please could you post the full data tables? I was expecting them at https://t.co/V8f9EhArOF - if they're anywhere else, please link...

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@JLPartnersPolls @TheSun Are the full data tables appearing any time soon? I'm assuming they'll show up on https://t.co/V8f9EhzTZ7 at some point.

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@BL_2889 @GeneGenie666 @ElectionMapsUK @FindoutnowUK I haven't looked into the details of this specific one, but yes. Bear in mind that there's rounding in both the "before" and "after". If you're still sceptical, I'd suggest looking at the data tables which have more detail - the articles in https://t.co/qGZjG8fflk link to them.

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@GeneGenie666 @ElectionMapsUK @FindoutnowUK Rounding, basically. It means that these percentages don't always add up to 100. (I saw two polls from the same provider where one added up to 99% and the next added up to 102% - it looked very odd in terms of differences...)

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@FindoutnowUK Minor correction: the data tables claim (on the cover page) that fieldwork was today (October 16th). The blog post claims (more believably) that the fieldwork was yesterday (October 15th).

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@JLPartnersPolls And they're now available - hooray!

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@JLPartnersPolls Are the full data tables available anywhere yet? They're not at https://t.co/V8f9EhArOF as far as I can see.

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@electpoliticsuk @BMGResearch Are the full data tables for this coming soon?

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@ElectionMapsUK @BMGResearch Any sign of the full data tables yet? I can't find them (having tried variations of the slightly-inconsistent link conventions used for past VI polls).

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@troyhunt @Charlotte_Hunt_ Yup, Alicia posted a separate FB post that she'd been hacked. (I don't use FB much at all; I haven't checked whether things have progressed further.)

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@AviSniffmann @peer_rich See https://t.co/of0yKgLDZy

TL;DR: If you store a *future* date/time where the source of truth is a local time in a location, then in order to store millis-since-epoch you have to *predict* what the UTC offset will be at that time. That prediction may be wrong.

@matthew_abbott_ Please file an issue on GitHub (https://t.co/4g06nrFIKE) - I hadn't even seen this until just now as I don't use X these days. (Using GitHub also means it will get to any member of the relevant team, whether I'm still working in the team or not...)

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@jawsfan66 @HadestownUK @hadestown Fair enough. It won't be a gasp from me either way, unfortunately - too far back in the queue. But never mind. (Seeing it tomorrow night and then the OBC in March, so I'm not exactly Hadestown-impoverished...)

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@HadestownUK For anyone wondering: the tickets have now sold out :(

[Jon Skeet @jonskeet]

@jawsfan66 @HadestownUK @hadestown You mean you don't gasp anyway, despite knowing what's going to happen? I don't think anything will stop me from pretty much weeping at "And brother, you know what they did? They danced!" (I know H/P isn't meant to be the "main" romance story, but it's the one that moves me most)
