@erikaheidi Do you plant directly in them or are these more like aesthetic covers for plant pots?

[Mike @strayobject]

I don't like people who park on pedestrian crossings.
@RenCouncil some more bollards could help

@jetbrains what a terrible idea, who thought this abomination was a positive change? Please do tell me which piece of your software is any of these projects going to launch in?
I would kindly ask you to please revert this toolbox stupidity back to software icons.

@stevelitchfield You can get a 2019 Kia Optima phev estate for money that is similar to the cost of yaris [14-16k]
For that you will get loads of space and a realistic range of 25 miles ev only range. I used to have a saloon version of this and it was good. I would also look at Kia Niro phev

As part of the Upskilling Day in @callstackio, I had a pleasure to talk about testing strategies. Most important rule: make sure your tests test! 🎉

@gsprmtys @ChargePlaceScot It's annoying, yes, but they have locked themselves into a contract, most likely for a year, so now they have to charge it. Expect prices falling come April. At least I think they will. There is hardly anyone using chargers where I live.

In my 33 years career in software development, I've seen at least three or four bouts of mad rush caused by the panic to hire software developers. Every now and then, our industry goes into a frenzy where the demand outweighs the supply by at least a 1 to 10 factor.👇

@jorilallo I used to work with one couple years back, I think he might be freelancing, worth a chat nevertheless

@erikaheidi It is poor form indeed.
I'm not here to tell you what to do, but I think it would be healthier to just ignore those. Behaviour of some of the people in the chat was very childish, even during the male speaker presentations. [If we are talking about the last Friday's conference]

@syswarren Periods of "work from Spain" to boost the happiness levels :-)

[Mike @strayobject]

@RenCouncil That's fantastic, thank you.
Also thank you for getting this sorted. I can see it is being cleaned up as I write this 😀

Hello @RenCouncil
I think we need more frequent bin pickup in the children playground

I love it when people angrily prove the thing they’re against works brilliantly.

This has “I’m not paying the Government for using plastic bags, I’ll show them, I’ll just use my own bags!” energy.

@isenbek @nixcraft CUDA translates to miracles [from Polish] and that's exactly what you will need to perform during installation

@philsturgeon For me in Spain it is the nights that are the killer. Trying to sleep in 24 degrees is awful.

The one factor that made the most impact on my skill as an engineer was spending years pursuing DDD.

I went from a data-model first developer to a behavior-first developer and the benefits have been clear and profound.

I recommend starting here.

@RyanRadia @LupineChemist @scottlincicome Bulk of our houses is built differently to the US wooden stick houses. The need for air con is much lower here. In fact most modern single houses should be built in a way that does not necessitate use of air con.
