I was a mathematician, and then I sold out.

Extending Records to handle the richer semantics of Classes without losing the benefits of Records. A careful balancing act 🙂

@rorysutherland Oh come on, a Premier Inn, surely, the breakfast is superior

Also, houses are bought by a couple. Many people (more often men) don't give a shit about houses, but would quite like a Bentley. This way, they get a much better car than would normally be allowed. (If I were single, I'd live in a Travelodge and drive a Dodge Viper).
Rory Sutherland@rorysutherland
This is actually sensible from the seller's POV. If you discount a house, you devalue it much more than if you offer free stuff. A £2m house which comes with a free Bentley is still a £2m house. In selling, say, shampoo, 50% extra free is not the same psychologically as 33% off.

As it happens, I'm booked from Birmingham to the Highlands on Monday night. But where am I going?
Somewhere special!
Somewhere I've always wanted to go.
Where braver men than me sleep deep within their regal tree. Any guesses? 🤷♂️

From tonight, Caledonian Sleeper's London-Inverness/Aberdeen/Ft William sleeper will pick up at Birmingham International at 22:42 northbound, and set down southbound at 06:20. A useful link for the West Midlands! independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

@thenewstef @Apple @AppleSupport I reckon all this apple stuff is really only fit to go in the canal nowadays

So i'm still without an ipad, spend hours on phone and on store with the Kafka-esque nightmare that is @Apple @AppleSupport and experienced a variety of bugs. Remember that this is the premium Apple Care support. What's going wrong?
English
Here's a little story about @Apple and @AppleSupport. My iPad mini's screen was cracked. It's under AppleCare. I checked online and it should cost £25. So i booked an appointment at the "genius bar" on my local apple store, London Kingston, and took it on the 6th of January

Watched this (Across the Spider-Verse, for complete context) for maybe the tenth time over Christmas, and it remains an absolute masterpiece.

Oh my days the new spider verse film is out of this world good. Go.

@tikhonjelvis This is why I always use my squirrel rather than someone else's

SQL is pronounced "squirrel" and WSL is pronounced "weasel"

my goal is to become successful enough to use an ipad instead of a laptop. It's the perfect device for the successful man - worse than both a phone and a computer, requiring a staff of people producing actual work to maintain communications with you. A unicycle for the mind.

@therealchreke I mean this one is soluble with a well factored dependency tree and a good build tool, no? Or are you wanting something that lets you edit a root node in an ABI incompatible way and still have a fast build?
English
You know what really grinds my gears in software development? Compile times. I really like static type systems, but I don’t like waiting. The time it takes to type check / compile code should be proportional to the size of the change, not the size of the code base.
English
@therealchreke I suspect getting the message out with modern build systems is probably possible, and we'll then discover that the test system hasn't got a bloody clue what to do with it...
English
@therealchreke I feel like the build tool here rightfully says "hey, I built it, over to you now test system" and there's a missing message of "oh btw it was an incremental build and the artifacts that changed were [...]" and then the test system can traverse a different graph to do its work

A priest, a pastor and a rabbit entered a clinic to donate blood.
The nurse asked the rabbit: "what's your blood type?"
"I'm probably a type O", said the rabbit.

Can someone competent please, please take over the US cricket rights from @willowtv by the time the next Ashes series comes around.

A reminder of the last time a World Cup finals draw took place in the USA in December 1993, when Robin Williams stole the show by pissing about on stage and repeatedly making fun of Sepp Blatter.
FIFA hasn’t invited a comedy genius to help out since.

@matt_levine Vote no and get an extra edition of Money Stuff tomorrow? It's an easy choice for me...

@sh4rpy They look like they're perching on trees rather than in bed. I'll get my coat.
