@tweethue is there a way to restore the current scene after turning bulbs off/on at the power switch.

Never forget.

Wish @itvfootball would sort out the encoding on @ITVX . Ball keeps disappearing when it's passed. Or you know, just leave it to the BBC!

Major education news today: The UK Govt proposed to allow all new and existing state-funded faith schools to base 100% of pupil admissions on religion. This is proven to cause racial segregation, as well as disadvantaging disabled and poorer children! humanists.uk/2024/05/01/bre…

@CannonFodder @usedbytes Amazing! Our code didn't come together so it was just comedy. One barrel in the wrong zone :-D

Software Brian aka @usedbytes, done an amazing job programming our #PiWars robot Scorpion, perfect finish, we had a little luck on our side.

@MarkMellors @PiWarsRobotics @DeadlockRW Awesome theme!

I'm going to be at @PiWarsRobotics this weekend in Cambridge, competing with the @DeadlockRW team's latest (non-destructive) robot Overwhelming Surplus of Diggity! We're really proud of the video we put together for the Artistic & Technical Merit judging: youtu.be/Ftn2kvEmI7M

@RoyalMailHelp Why has so much of my mail been delayed over the last couple of months? Just received a birthday card that was posted 3 weeks ago first class (Leeds to London). Took over a week to get a letter from Bishops Stortfort to London at start of this month.

My cartoon from 2013 is still evergreen, sadly: privatisation in a nutshell #ThamesWater #r4Today

@Leatherman Then why have you discontinued it in the UK? Just went to buy a replacement for an airport security loss and found I can't get a Squirt, Style or Micra. 🤷‍♂️ Ok the Micra ships from the US but postage is almost as much as the tool.

For all those small tasks throughout the day, the Micra is just what you need. #leathermantools bit.ly/3K75Njs

@xkcd Published as a template: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

@xkcd This is my effort from the "asked if I could, not if I should" category. A cryptic crossword constructor with auto numbering (including multi entry clues), optional symmetry enforcement and output formatting. Takes a good second or so to update; no idea how it works now 🙂

Still so proud of this monstrosity. Minutes after writing it, I forgot how it works, and that knowledge remains thankfully lost to me to this day

@KLM_UK I can't seen to check in for my LCY->AMS->YVR flights tomorrow; online checkin requires a Canadian permanent residency card but I'm just a visitor so I don't have one!

@HerdyUK how annoying to order a replacement mug and find that it doesn't match my older ones.

If only there were some way to figure out what had gone wrong with the NHS…

@ahrkrak That moment when optimisation is no longer premature and you get to 10-1000x something. 😸

@pull_gs @d_feldman Came here to say this

@d_feldman Fisher & Paykel make double drawer dishwashers that work exactly like this and you don't need to give up a cabinet

@kelseyhightower It's hard to imagine a scenario where I'd start with a proprietary DB (unless hosted Mongo counts?). Also hard to imagine just _running_ a project; seems like everything I've ever worked on has involved packaging up a project for customers (or customers of customers) to use...

@colinhowe We also run into issues with the UI not liking large log outputs. Had to switch to logging to file and using the output to screen for general updates.

@fasaxc I was thinking RAM disks would be good for this! Do you use SemaphoreCI? Reliable?

I'd love to see a CI provider with an emphasis on speed. For a basic empty app with no tests it should be possible for a CI run to take <10s from commit. That should be the baseline

@colinhowe Sorry, shows how often I'm on twitter! We do use it and it's reliable as long as you're within its limitations. Biggest one we keep hitting is disk space (cf. RAM disk); end up needing a larger instance (which is very expensive) just to get enough disk for our builds.
