@SchlenkR @sergey_tihon That's great (or it might be) but it's not a blog post.

Call me old fashioned but I want to read things... 😢

[James Murphy @recumbent]

@ecology_chris Except... we're supposed to be agile - so we do this whilst it is reasonable so to do and then when things change we adapt...

Trumpflation is already started: I spent 100 dollars at Albertsons for the groceries that cost 60 last week. This man has destroyed the economy

[James Murphy @recumbent]

@NHSMillion It very much depends on the location, but as an absolute no - parking is a constrained resource in many locations (often ones with reasonable public transport) so it's about finding a balance. Also _which_ staff and when?

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

92% of people under 25, and 67% of people in the UK wish to rejoin the EU.

RT if you are one.

[James Murphy @recumbent]

@k_cieslak I agree - partly because my education said single exit, and partly because it actually makes code harder to read (yes, really - I speak from experience, although it wasn't well written to start).

Arrow code is a problem, yes... but...

[James Murphy @recumbent]

I find this seriously elegant, if not entirely obvious (especially as formatted)😁

List.fold (fun (p, d) x ->
if Seq.contains x p then (p, x::d) else (x::p, d)) ([], []) list

And yes its a real solution to a real problem... still learning after 45 years (of writing code)

@jasongorman Head of state meets business person who made a very significant contribution to the economy... nobody would even blink...

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Wes Streeting has said that Brexit is over settled.

69% of the UK wants to rejoin.

RT if it ain't over for you.

[James Murphy @recumbent]

@isaac_abraham @k_cieslak @sforkmann Oh absolutely - it's just that vb.old is very much an archetype.

And if I'm being honest I would tend to treat .NET - and preferably F# - as the solution for almost any problem I want to solve (but I am 45 years of programming and a lot of languages in)

[James Murphy @recumbent]

@isaac_abraham @k_cieslak @sforkmann Ah, that would be VB6 then 😜

[James Murphy @recumbent]

@CFDevelop @GemmaBlackUK In C# mocking httpclient is a mostly solved problem, you just have to find a variation that works for you.

That said I have generally put a wrapper round an API, to hide the http bit 🤔 right now no idea what I'll do next time...

[James Murphy @recumbent]

@gep13 @isaac_abraham @dotnet dotnet outdated... but it should be built in 🙂

[James Murphy @recumbent]

@sinclairinat0r Classic dev blind spot - "this solves a problem I don't have so it serves no purpose" (or variations on that theme)

Listen to @jsnover talk about the origins of PowerShell and you'll hear a similar story...

[James Murphy @recumbent]

@kellabyte I think this might help (or at least be interesting !): https://t.co/fYgJ3pNmhX - sample deployed code is an http server (in rust)

[James Murphy @recumbent]

@gonortheast That's fair enough, it happens. Its just unfortunate that there is also a gap in the X services to Newcastle at that point

I think my challenge is the way services just vanish. Even more so if I'm at a (notionally) staffed stop (typically Consett or Gateshead).

[James Murphy @recumbent]

@gonortheast what happened to the X70 ex Consett... I`my fairly certain I was here on time...

[James Murphy @recumbent]

@gonortheast It was the 08:11, from Consett Bus Station. I had sight of the bus station from no later than 08:10, and line of sight along Medomsley road before that. Also couldn't see one (on route having left) on the live tracking.

[James Murphy @recumbent]

@jasongorman And is willing to engage in said conversation and will use language that they can understand... that last in particular...

[James Murphy @recumbent]

@jasongorman We were already way past 4... 😁

Equally xunit exists for much the same reason this does...
