I thought emacs was all about ctrl + ?.

I use vim, but considered emacs. I thought the plugins like organisers and such seemed a cool idea.

Interesting, I didn’t know that about VSCode.I’ve used it briefly and I must have always installed some default plugins to make it work with python!

The only query I’d have on that definition of IDE is that they all require an external compiler or JIT interpreter to execute code, because the versions of the compilers changes so frequently it’d be crazy to release an ‘all included’ IDE. (The old MS Visual Basic is an example of ‘all included’)

But yeah, pycharm or phpstorm are “ready to run” bar the code compiler or interpreter, I don’t have to open a terminal or something to run code I’ve written.

Vim and emacs usually run in the terminal and require keyboard commands to complete actions.

A GUI IDE like vscode or pycharm has mouse driven menus and buttons, although of course it’s possible to use keyboard commands.

That to me is the difference. Personally, I use vim mod with pycharm and some messy hybrid combination of vim commands and ctrl + ?

I’m not American, but I get payed monthly and that was today. Might make it hard for some.

Also how do they report revenue, is it monthly weekly? Would have to time things so it shows up at board meetings etc .

There’s a white paper with the social security logo on it https://www.mysql.com/industry/government/

Using gboard with UK layout here’s me typing a bunch I can remember, it autocorrected all of them. Would be interesting to see the dictionary as a list.

Zeus Herodias Herodotus Aphrodite Pegasus Nike - Greek

Mars Romulus Remus Bacchus - Roman

Valhalla Thor Odin Ragnarok Woden - Norse …

I use the vi option or plugins for Sublime, PHPStorm, and Pycharm or whichever IDE I’m using. Works for chrome and Firefox too.

Long‐term sleep deprivation in rats produces dramatic physiological changes including increase in energy expenditure, decrease in body weight, and death after 2–3 weeks.

I found this study on rats. I don’t know how closely they think it applies to humans https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=long+term+sleep+deprivation+effects#d=gs_qabs&t=1738939326248&u=%23p%3DyEAZSamoVLEJ

No, it’s usually buried in the wall behind the plasterboard. Although it is possible to use surface trunking. It’s quicker and therefore cheaper to use trunking with less making good afterwards

These are the rules for normal people…

Inheritance Tax

is a tax on the estate (the property, money and possessions) of someone who’s died.

There’s normally no Inheritance Tax to pay if either:

• the value of your estate is below the £325,000 threshold
• you leave everything above the £325,000 threshold to your spouse, civil partner, a charity or a community amateur sports club

The standard Inheritance Tax rate is 40%. It’s only charged on the part of your estate that’s above the threshold.

Business Relief for Inheritance Tax

What qualifies for Business Relief

You can get 100% Business Relief on:

• a business or interest in a business
• shares in an unlisted company

You can get 50% Business Relief on:

• shares controlling more than 50% of the voting rights in a listed company
• land, buildings or machinery owned by the deceased and used in a business they were a partner in or controlled
• land, buildings or machinery used in the business and held in a trust that it has the right to benefit from

You can only get relief if the deceased owned the business or asset for at least 2 years before they died.

I guess there’s a nice idea behind the process. But tbh, I don’t even remember what instance I joined. I tried joining a tech instance but my application was rejected … I’m really not that interested in applying like it’s a job or something. (Though I understand lots of IRL groups have application processes)

From April 2026, a 20% tax rate – half the headline inheritance tax rate of 40% – will be applied to the value of farms and businesses worth more than £1m when they are passed on.

I think this is what they are complaining about.

A very good example of unimaginative or unoriginal naming. Although Alexandria is presumably named after Alexander the Great, rather than because the place reminded them of Alexandria.

As a Brit I was watching the storm coverage in the USA yesterday and marveling at the number of locations named after European towns, and chuckling at the lack of imagination of the early immigrants.

Composed of 18 images, this natural-color mosaic shows a boulder field on “Mount Washburn” (named after a mountain in Wyoming) in Mars’ Jezero Crater. The Perseverance science team nicknamed the light-toned boulder with dark speckles near the center of the mosaic. “Atoko Point” (after a feature in the eastern Grand Canyon). The images were acquired by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover on May 27, 2024, the 1,162nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission

But it turns out nothings really changed on the naming front… however I’ve never had to name a place so I can’t really claim I’d be any better!

We had the teams update at work, with the endless notifications to let me know that a new version was coming, would I like to update early, on the 1st the update will be forced …

He’s possibly the only reoccurring black character, and yes it is very much a product of its time.

In defense of the authors the Gauls are all depicted with large bulbous noses, the Romans with Roman noses, etc; all cariceturs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caricature.

In the attached image you can see Obelix is also depicted as a “knuckle dragger” (at times). The character leading them is a Roman.

This second example shows the Vikings.

It’s an old joke updated for new technology … that’s part of what makes it clever.

It references the original joke (albeit in very small text)

The Asterix books frequently did something similar. https://cloud.wordpress.com/2022/02/17/asterix-and-the-historical-interpretation/

I know you’ve asked for uBlock Origin instructions but I couldn’t find the RegEx option for uBlock. However the concept should be the same: https://help.adblockplus.org/hc/en-us/articles/360062733293-How-to-write-filters#regexps

That’s a very good idea

This is neat solution, you’ll lose the laptop WiFi internet access though.

You can set the pi to connect to the phone WiFi by editing files on the SD card (using your laptop)
