@JordanB098 Some scenes that probably shouldn't have been 'Ages 6+' as well.

@ldaviesmusic @JamesBalliol I think lots of people would be surprised that someone on nearly three times the median wage could only have £2,700 more a month, but how far that extra money goes is definitely a function of the cost of living where you are.

[Peter Russell @qwertyface]

@ldaviesmusic @JamesBalliol If you had to guess the difference, would you guess £2,699 / month?

Not an insignificant sum, but I bet it doesn't go far if you live in the South East.

@thomasforth Congratulations.

[IPPR North @IPPRNorth]

@ellegist @nbarrett100 We've taken this very seriously. Here's a chart showing the true scale of the North-bat divide.

@FollowTolu @LGBTGreat Congratulations Tolu!

It's been a long time; they don't give us the children's menu so often these days. Disappointingly the children's menu @pieminister has no pies.

[Peter Russell @qwertyface]

My hobby: trying to do the children's colouring sheets the give out in family restaurants, with the provided crayons. It's a worthy challenge!

[Peter Russell @qwertyface]

I reckon the big decision is which colour to lay down first, and how heavily to apply it. You don't seem to be able to correct that.

Everyone should play the FT’s Chancellor Game, if only to be told that despite increasing public spending in a bid to clear the backlog in the courts, it turns out Britain is so broken that this won’t actually fix anything and the voters hate me

At @OpenInnovates we asked 33 pro-growth economists almost exactly the same questions as @UKDayOne had asked different economists (one overlap) a month earlier on how they thought the government should boost economic growth in the UK. Here are our results. https://t.co/i950R7tsHQ

@yokoonobot Shush! Don't encourage it yet, I'm still stocking up.

@anon_opin A big step forward would be to stop anyone using dashes but not following Iso format.

[Peter Russell @qwertyface]

@thomasforth Do you think it's common, or just commonly used to describe you? (I think you're great btw)

[Peter Russell @qwertyface]

@woofknight I believe for ravens (as these are) it's a 'parliament'. Something, something, Theresa May.

[Peter Russell @qwertyface]

No one told me that adulthood was mostly about dishes and laundry.

I guess that was a kindness.

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

Life. It's just a cycle of maintenance. Cleaning cooking washing working all day every day just to ensure we don't slip behind. We exist just to expend all our energy maintaining that existence. It's circular and pointless and therefore meaningless

@JordanB098 I was in the Christiano Ronaldo museum yesterday, which is basically a big room full of waxworks and replica bling. I looked at the Carling Cup and imagined it full of Carling. Feeling better now though.

[Peter Russell @qwertyface]

@SimonMagus Actually, I think it's fine. It's clearly a social construct, and allowing people to self-id is perfectly appropriate 😉

@papagaeio Is that cow... cantering? Sorry to see you go.

@smarr @ShriramKMurthi @cfbolz @stbrunthaler I believe that even when those optimisations are implemented, the tier-2 JIT will still leave a lot on the table, e.g. it won't do unboxing of integer objects. IIRC the long term plan includes a possible tier-3 JIT which would look at this sort of thing.

[Peter Russell @qwertyface]

@smarr @ShriramKMurthi @cfbolz @stbrunthaler The current JIT basically just recovers the cost of the smaller opcodes, by removing the execution overhead. The optimisations are (mostly) still a TODO. AIUI.
