@ingelramdecoucy Luckily, there were reporters on the ground for the King's pilgrimage 😆 youtu.be/X8F_HAUdp7g?si…

There was no way that Henry could have known anybody would take him literally, he was a peaceful man

@taxspendlib I'm English and I live in Canada. I've never seen this in either 😮 If you want proper Canadian food, get yourself some California rolls, ginger beef, and wash it down with a Caesar!

Learning that the UK has invented something called "steak canadian" which is something no Canadian has ever eaten

@MKRiker2 @owenbroadcast My suggestions of Beowulf for either of our sons, and Boudicca for either daughter, were sadly rejected 🫤

@owenbroadcast Almost as bad as me wanting to name my son Goliath

british upper class loved naming their kids after tragic greek figures. why. reading, i find a woman named “pandora”. really. you’re going to name your baby girl pandora. messing around with some powerful forces there. almost like toying around with opening some … unclosable box

@frozenaesthetic University was where most of us not from London, first met many people from outside the UK. You often heard "So where are you from? How do you swear in your language?" University is for education after all 😁

@avrldotdev Developers have been saying "RAM is cheap" and "CPU is cheap" for a few decades now. They were crappy developers, but still, sadly it's not new. It's much more popular now though.

Claude Code is the perfect example of how Un-optimised our software has become in 2026. Devs used to write code that squeezed the most out of each MB of RAM & CPU. Even 16GB RAM feels less as apps eat 10GB of it like an evening snack. And AI is already making it worse with Inefficient software flooding the market. The irony is that we're seeing the most inefficient software being developed during the Hardware shortage & price hikes

@Miss_Snuffy We were told off by a teacher 20+ years ago when my elder son started school, because he could already read & the school "couldn't put it down as added value" The others could also read when they started, so I'm assuming it was just the one teacher at the time 🤔

I used to wonder if there would come a time when they would say that parents cannot read to their kids because it gives them an advantage. It seems that time will soon be upon us. 😳

@FramFram235121 @Lost___London @VinnieSull1van @PubHistoryTours Church on the right looks like St Michael's, so that view is towards the south west. The building with two chimneys looks like it's in docklands? Unsure what it is though

@Lost___London @VinnieSull1van @PubHistoryTours Is it Battersea power station in the back?

Teviot Street, Poplar, London, 1950s.

@Lost___London @Britains___Pubs @PubHistoryTours Unsure, but one of my wife's great-uncles may have managed this pub during the war 🤔

@cthultists @SandyofCthulhu Lots of "rusk" in the sausages and very little seasoning. Bratwurst is spicy compared to British "bangers" 😮

@SandyofCthulhu Bangers and mash... It's been twenty years and I still crave bangers and mash. I dunno what they do differently, but 🤌 💋

The great tragedy of Britain is that in the 1800s it was renowned as the best cuisine in the world. Even snooty French chefs said so. Everyone loved English cooking. Then WW1 came along. The upper-class (and their servants) went to war, and it became a mark of patriotism to eat poorly. Post-war Britain didn’t really recover before the one-two punch of the Depression & WW2 struck. Britain stayed on rationing until the mid 1950s! And by that time the ancient great cuisine of England had largely been lost. Delights such as Beef Wellington, Russian Salad (British version was posh), Lobster Thermidor, Pheasant Pie. All are almost lost. There is Britain ‘s tragedy - From the best to the worst. France suffered pretty bad in the wars too, but their cuisine rebounded. Japan’s food was nightmarishly restricted in WW2, and they recovered. Go go Britain! I admit that British food today has slowly been climbing back from the brink, but much of it is still pretty worthy of mockery. Britain can and has done better. At least it’s not as vile as on my visits in the 80s & 90s.

@SaintLitan @SandyofCthulhu It might not look it, but that's awesome 🤣 Steak and kidney pudding is where it's really at though. A proper filling dinner 😮 deliaonline.com/recipes/books/…

@SandyofCthulhu They always have canned steak and kidney pie !

@EricRichards22 Don't forget the AI that phones in occasionally 🤔

I'm not following this very well We started with a cop stabbing himself This rolled into Troy McClure instructional videos with secondhand wigs Then AM radio ancient aliens Then C-Movies about some demonic HatMan, who can be bound by old copper pennies

@1Catfishman @Amer1can_Barbie @DaleStarkA10 We've got 4. People often ask why and I usually say "We thought it was about time intelligent people had lots of kids too," Sometimes they laugh, sometimes they give us a funny look, and sometimes they get offended. Those are the funniest times 😈

@Amer1can_Barbie @DaleStarkA10 If you have a triple digit IQ and are married and are willing to parent you should aim for 5. We have far too many fools breeding and not raising.

I subconsciously bought into this anti-natalist propaganda when I was younger and decided two kids was enough. Now I’m wishing we had at least four or five. My advice is don’t worry about the costs, God always provides. Be fruitful and multiply.

@EricRichards22 It might just be me, but i get the weekly email, & the format seem to be: "I made a system that makes the lives of kittens & puppies better" "Should we be helping kittens & puppies when x is happening?" "I did this last month" "I would have done it better" 🫤

Glancing through the comments on even the decent technical blog poasts that stay on the front page, the rate of brainrot in the commentariat has advanced significantly

It's been a long time since I looked at hn regularly, but it has never applied enough down pressure on a fairly small set of garbage domains like the guardian, the bbc, or the various other tech news sites that minimally rewrite reuters wire reports

@JeffBohren If a lawyer uses AI to produce incorrect documentation, it's their fault. Civil engineers, mechanical engineers, architects using AI or other tools also bear the responsibility if it's wrong. Professional software engineers ae also responsible. We need to review it.

There is a lot of debate about whether developers should review AI generated code, or treat AI code generation as a "higher level of abstraction". I have two problems with the latter view. First, I am responsible for every line of AI generated code I introduce into production. If I am going to be responsible for it, I am going to check it. Second, AI code generators are simply not reliable enough yet to trust their output. I find errors frequently. Now comes the chorus of "Skill Issue" and "You are not using the same tool/model as me" comments.

@Knowledgepoint I used to walk past they're on the way to lectures, many years ago. Not being from London I didn't really know what it was. There are even more photos here: disused-stations.org.uk/b/bishopsgate_…

Great Eastern St, Shoreditch High St, was the Bishopsgate Goods Yard, which once housed a train station. The abandoned sheds were used for years as a car park and later became the site of the Village Underground venue, which uses old Tube carriages on its roof.

@EricRichards22 Hyphenation is traditionally an indicator of posh-ness. Or illegitimacy. Or both🤔🤣

I would avoid hyphenation just because it's a fucking pain in the ass to fill out a long-ass name on the standardized test bubble sheets

@owenbroadcast Sometimes the sheer size of the risk is enough to stop people from intervening (the final section): news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/e…

a small child tumbles forward through a door left ajar out onto the steps. you catch them. lift them to inspect them: no damage. but they have no idea what you’re doing, or why. they are furious, and run, to tell the others of your madness. in this way a hero may be a villain.

@heff1667 @vivoplt Then surely we should be encouraging them to keep doing just that 😈

@vivoplt If you sit in a Claude terminal pressing enter you should not have a job. Skilled senior engineers are in high demand because of people that do this.

Software engineers are the happiest people on Earth now. They pay $100/month for Claude Code to do the work. Their employer pays them $10,000/month for the results. $9,900 profit for sipping coffee and talking to AI. The funniest part? Not a single dev with a full-time job will ever admit this publicly What a time to be alive.

@treblewoe @OldHollowTree That's a big upper bound - a 4 foot long weasel that's been known to kill lynx 😮

Not all animals are critters. There is an almost indescribable element that makes an animal a critter. Possums are critters. Horses aren’t. Raccoons are critters. Cats aren’t. Some dogs are critters but it’s a case by case basis.
