Hmm, probably worth double checking no one was reheating their coffee in the microwave during the experiment.

When spelled out like this it feels natural that it would be spoken with a silent ‘p’ as in pneumatic, so: “na-su-sa”?

Promptfondler has to be my new favourite slur!

In fact: 0! = 1

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Ursula K. Le Guin

Well written piece, worth taking the time to read it in full.

Last I checked ~18:00BST

Party     Seats    Votes       %
Lab        412   9,725,117   33.8
Con        121   6,824,610   23.7
Reform       5   4,103,727   14.3
Lib Dem     71   3,501,004   12.2
Green        4   1,941,220    6.8
Indep.       7     841,835    2.9
…

I am personally glad that the next government is not going to be stuffed full with bigoted nationalists from Reform. I can’t help but marvel though at how wonky the system of voting is that let the Lib Dem’s get an order of magnitude more seats than Reform with 600k fewer votes. Reform got just under half Labour’s vote share and only slightly over 1% of their seats.

It’s a the right shift assignment operator so x >>= 4 right shifts x by 4 and assigns the result back to x. The code editor is displaying single double wide symbol (ligature) instead of the three character long operator >>=, I discovered today these are in fact well loved by some coders.

That’s neat, so TIL ligature in code do actually have a strong following

LGTM. Though do people really code with ligatures turned on?

Edit: Ok so there are some big advocates of ligatures, I’m going to have to give them a second chance. I’ll try for a week, and either way that Fira Code font looks great.

Maybe it’s that this is a better a metaphor for the destruction of the common cultural heritage of the environment? Not many people can relate to or are inconvenienced by a very expensive private boat sinking.

Thanks for the notes, I found it was surprisingly difficult to emulate the style. The above was already after several rounds of nonsensification and I was thinking I had gone too far but on reflection should have gone further.
