  • If a car hits you, as a pedestrian, are you in the wrong?

    Edit: It was a genuine question, I wasn't trying to "gotcha" anyone. I don't know how the law works there and thought I'd ask.

  • What's your favourite thing to self host and why?

  • I love Immich. I've pulled in all my photos going back to high school in the early 2000s and it's so awesome having a timeline of them.

  • TIL: There are over a hundred kinds of pasta noodle

    Jump

  • My first encounter with it was an ex referring to "lasagna noodles". The expression on my face...

  • Podcast Republic has the same issue.

  • TIL Peter Thiel's former lover and alleged "blood boy" died under mysterious circumstances in 2023

  • You think Fury Road was primarily green screened?

    The majority of what was done was compositing. The stunts, props, etc. were real. The crashing war rig was real, for example.

    It's one of the things I thinks makes Furiosa worse - much less practical.

  • Email ownership, I give up.

    Jump

  • Similarly I gave up trying to keep up with the ever evolving mail server requirements. I'd wake up to find my emails weren't reaching people because Google and MS had strongarmed some change into place again.

    These days I just use inbox.eu for my email.

  • TIL the stop motion film industry is propped up by one rich kid

    Jump

  • Bought some back when I lived in Scotland and Somerfield had a deal on multiple blocks of cheese. Didn't finish it.

  • Speaking of propping things up - Wensleydale were propped up by Wallace & Gromit.

  • They appear in Warhammer a fair bit.

  • TIL steak Canadian was not invented in Canada and almost no one in Canada knows what it is.

    Jump

  • Must be NW in that case as I spent every summer from 1994 to 2005 near Hexham!

  • It's not a UK thing I've ever heard of and I've lived in Wales, England, and Scotland.

  • Stuff for kids?

  • Excellent question! Commenting to follow.

  • With Reddit flirting with requiring Age verification, the next Rexit might be around the corner, are we ready?

  • Should I teach students who doesn't know computer science C or JavaScript first?

    Jump

  • I'm glad someone is saying it. I'm a software engineer and someone elsewhere in this thread is giving me shit for not having much use for the low level stuff.

    I was teaching a junior about character encoding a couple of months ago (I suspect his CS degree came free in a box of cereal) but most of what we do is build tooling on top of other tooling. I'm not working on bare metal here!

  • You're in a foul mood today, aren't you? Okay, hope tomorrow is better. I'm not arguing with you about whatever this nonsense is.

  • Your continuing inability to engage in an even remotely constructive way is really tragic.

    Instead of seeing my response as "He takes my point and sees that his initial comment was too broad. We could have a conversation" it just ends up as an opportunity for you to make this community more hostile. That's so sad.

    Hopefully you're just having a bad day.
