@MoSalah Our Egyptian King #ynwa Thanks for all the memories , trophies and celebrations…

@BethRigby @adamboultonTABB @SkyNews Are you just Nigel’s press secretary?

NEW: Reform are subsidising prices at a petrol station in Buxton to promote their proposal to cut fuel duty in the wake of the Iran War - more on @skynews later

@maxrushden If yiu both occupy the thickness of a pitch white line then yiu should be considered onside. This covers all toenail issues etc Makes logical sense when you see where balls are positioned for corners

This is why daylight offsise is BAD! Also in open play, defences will just have to defend really deep. i can't believe Arsene Wenger can't see it. well I can believe it.

@taggysbar On iPhone. Click the 3 dots on your pass in the top right. Click automatic updates so it’s off. Then switch it on again; your pass will update

If you got problems updating your NFC pass for West Ham match, this work: Log in to your account, download NFC pass again without deleting the old pass. It updates then. It worked fine for me 👍🏼

@michelrouxjr @Thebiglade Chapeau Monsieur 👏🧢

@Thebiglade Depends what’s happened in between 😜🤷🏻‍♂️

Are there really people who shower before going to bed and then shower when they wake up??

@madlfcfan68 @MoSalah That’s the Sunday not the Saturday. However as the champions league match homes legs for all 3 of spurs Arsenal and Liverpool are that week. This fixture may move back a day

@MoSalah @MoSalah I’m57 and been a supporter since I was 6yrs old and coming to watch my first game game at anfield on sat the 15th of march vs spurs I’d be absolutely honoured if I could get to meet you at full time and I’d be even more honoured if I could ask for your shirt ❤️ 🙏🙏🙏

@ps2startupintro @jkpkrn_ I’m famous 🤣🤣🤣

@jkpkrn_ one singular voice in the Kop there that just went “YES NALLO” 😭

@robprogressive Wait till you see how much council tax is charged on Buckingham Palace.. about £1800 last time I checked

Council tax is a straight-up wealth tax. Why am I expected to hand over £5,000+ a year just to have my bins emptied because my house is bigger? Or because I live a few streets over? It’s the exact same service whether your home is worth £200k or £2 million. Same bins. Same trucks. Same schedule. Up to £5,835 a year for bin collection & I still have to sort, store, and manage all my own rubbish. What exactly am I paying for here? And let’s be clear: I already pay national tax. So why am I being hit with a second tax just for existing in a particular postcode? Same service. Wildly different bill. Absolute joke.

@StanCollymore Beardsley ?

Was thinking of how many greatest ever players at one club also played for their biggest rivals ( John Robertson Forest but played for Derby). Any other big ones you can think of? Will allow recognised (as opposed to your favourite) top 3 ever at your club to have played for BIGGEST rivals.

@CFDevelop @loganthorneloe #following Be interested to know this too

@loganthorneloe What’s the best local coding model you found that runs with 64 gig of ram or less?

My hypothesis was right. Two weeks ago I dropped $4000 on a maxed-out MacBook to test if local coding models could replace $100+/mo cloud subscriptions. After weeks of real development work, here's what you need to know: - Small models are shockingly capable. I'm talking 90%+ of development work can be handled by local models. Even 7B parameter models punch way above their weight. You don't need to spend $4000 on a 128 GB MacBook Pro like I did—even 32 and 64 GB can run great models. - The real constraint is tooling. While tooling makes it easy to serve local models, connecting those models to coding tools reliably was difficult. I spent a lot of time tinkering to get them to work. - Local models provide benefits other than just cost. They apply to many more applications (think security- and privacy-focused applications), provide greater flexibility, and are more reliable. There's no downtime for local models and their performance will never randomly degrade. So is better hardware worth it over a subscription? Yes, but here's the catch: If you're spending $100/mo+ on Cursor or Claude subscriptions, the investment is worth it. Local models will only get better and smaller from here on out. However, Google offers a lot of free quota across its AI coding products. The hardware purchase becomes much more difficult to justify if the alternative is free coding tools instead of pricey subscriptions. My approach going forward will be this: Use local models as my workhorse. Use the free cloud offerings for the 10% of cases where you need better performance. I documented my entire local AI coding setup. I decided to use the Qwen3 models, serve them with MLX, and use Qwen Code CLI as my coding tool. Link in bio for the complete guide.

@Hortini just seen this on Facebook . Remember ringing the studio line to get songs played in the peaceful hour . Good times

@RyanRodemoyer2 @CFDevelop What’s your thoughts here ?

in C# it's pretty convenient they shipped `var` at the same time anonymous types were added

@CFDevelop @tagir_valeev I’d said it in an earlier tweet; I’ve worked with rider and it annoyed me but we as a business use Visual Studio so ‘var’ is a no no for me.

@ScouseTd @tagir_valeev Exactly. Visual Studio. You proved my point for me

No. Var is less readable in most of the cases. It's painful to review the code full of vars (or vals in Kotlin) if you are not very familiar with the API. Only in trivial cases like `var something = new Something()` it's ok.

@CFDevelop @tagir_valeev Visual Studio 2022

@ScouseTd @tagir_valeev There are times when you need yo specify it explicitly for the purpose of intent, but if you always specify it then intent gets lost

@CFDevelop @tagir_valeev I’ve told them direct. From ChatGpt Bottom line: var buys brevity and refactor resilience; explicit types buy clarity and stability. In a complex .NET 8 estate with heavy mapping and infra work, your current “explicit everywhere” policy is operationally sound.

@ScouseTd @tagir_valeev Btw: do you realize that by saying that var is lazy, you’ve insulted a bunch of people, including your coworkers. You’re assuming that they put no thought into the matter when there are very legitimate reasons to use var

@JaskiLFC Ballotelli?

@CFDevelop @tagir_valeev Why do I want to hover over a variable to see why type is inferred when I can just read it Var to me is lazy

@ScouseTd @tagir_valeev Even after everything I just said? And you realise how painful this is for other people?

@CFDevelop @tagir_valeev I refuse to use ‘var’ I’ve even set up vs2022 to throw it as an error on compile … I get why people like it but it’s a hill I’ll die on 😀

@tagir_valeev Unlike Java - that is full of type safety issues. It doesn’t even have full null safety. At this point, if your IDE isn’t telling you the type you’re dealing with, something is wrong. But more importantly, specifying a type explicitly for no reason is like having a comment …

@theribman @BigTomD Not sure that’s a nice comment to make tbh you’re better than that

@BigTomD Joseph Merrick 🐘

Nearly 30 bags on clobber and the result is nonce chic…

@SimonBrundish John Brooke’s was on var ?

This is where the Brentford players AND referee thought the “foul” was Chris Kavanagh had other ideas….
