  • There was a contestant on the UK Apprentice show that did just that, and was apparently seeing success.

  • Monster Train 2 if you like card games. It's got a load of content and replay and they recently released a patch today to add more!

  • it is useful as a sort of better google, like for things that are documented but reading the documentation makes your head hurt so you can ask it to dumb it down to get the core concept and go from there

    I agree with this point so much. I'm probably a real thicko, and being able to use it to explain concepts in a different way or provide analogies has been so helpful for my learning.

    I hate the impact from use of AI, and I hope that we will see greater efficiencies in the near future so there is less resource consumption.

  • I don't believe there is a requirement for employers in the UK to pay for lunch breaks?

  • I don't see what the problem is.

  • Good question!

    "Programming and coding are closely related but not the same. Programming is the process that covers problem-solving, designing, building, and maintaining software, while coding is the step of writing the actual instructions in a programming language. Both are important and work together to create complete software solutions." - Geeksforgeeks

  • I've never used it, but people I work with teach Scratch to in their spare time. I quick search suggests it is years 8+. I guess it's more programming than coding, but could be a starting point and lead into coding under 10?

  • Not just the notes, but I feel like they put more effort into making sure the text doesn't blend with what is on screen. Instances on Netflix of some shows where there will be white text with a white background, and the text has no drop shadow or black border.

  • For me I pictured "master" as perfecting something. So when I asked someone as a noob why things were being switched from master to main I was surprised at the possibility that it could be related to master/slave, but completely understood why from that point.

  • I made bangers and mash this evening, and put it into a large Yorkshire pud.

    I don't know if it would be named differently.

  • My cats do this sometimes. Nothing to be concerned about as far as I'm aware. My cats are happy and healthy!

  • In the UK, the go to when speaking to the taxi driver used to be "So...been busy?" It was a really strange urge to ask every time.

    I haven't used a taxi in many years, so not sure if that's changed.

  • I remember it because one is a bumper and the other is a trigger. Bumper like the front of a car, and a trigger like...a trigger.

  • I personally prefer the asymmetric joysticks over the playstation symmetrical ones. RB, RT is descriptive of the button itself. B being Bumper and T being trigger.

    I do agree with you in the shapes being more memorable though.

  • I couldn't stand Jason Statham. Then many years ago I watched Spy with Melissa McCarthy and he was the perfect piss take of his characters from so many other movies. Example scene that shows his comedic stupidity. Ever since I haven't minded the guy.

  • Or say goodbye on the phone, they just hang up...

  • When I originally saw this report on another source, the key standout for me was how many people were beaten by the AI, and the fact the winner was 5% ahead, which really is a small margin. It was being touted as "Yay we beat the AI!" without acknowledging that there were a lot of people that lost to it.

  • Last book: The Hero of Ages (Mistborn) by Brandon Sanderson

    Current book: Wind and Truth (Stormlight Archive) by Brandon Sanderson

    I would 1000% recommend these books and other Cosmere books to anyone that enjoys fantasy but with the caveat of being aware of the Sanderlanche. Pretty much every book this guy writes takes time building everything up so it can feel quite slow, but then towards the end you get your avalanche of action, quick story progression, and answers to questions you get throughout the books.

  • I could only just get through Name of the Wind many years ago. As I was reading it something just felt off and was bothering me massively, I then came to the realisation that the main character (Kvothe) was just too perfect. His flaws were the world around him, not himself, and really the only fault that could be considered was that he was so good at everything he would do too much and get burnt out.

    Is the second book better, and would you say it's worth reading given the third one is nowhere in sight?
