First time back to Bolton Abbey in 8 years and never fails to deliver -

@Dessie1980 @RBlackPA Exactly...a bit like Translink as a whole! All for show!

@bmay @get_this_v

I want to die.

@imduffy15 another option is to get a dead iphone 12 off ebay and salvage for parts.. either way - good luck!

@kellizer iPhone 12 - my old device, was going to replace the battery and give it to dad. It’s now a hobby project to see if I can fix my damages 😂. Ordered parts they’ll be here in a month.

Messed up what should have been a simple battery replacement 😭

Randomers: Men identifying as women is completely different from white people identifying as black. Me: In what way? Randomers:

@Christian_N_Orr that was fantastic to watch- i never knew any of that..

Proud of my Dad. ❤️

@nievowners great but stability seems to be an issue at the moment - 3 times i visited over the space of 4 months; neither worked on 2 occasions and only 1 was functioning on another. Lisburn & knock.

@GarthGilmour nice christmas present would be the sunsetted AppCode codebase rolled into Intellij

Was playing with SwiftUI over the weekend. This morning the iOS Simulator would not start. Restarted the project, IDE, laptop and my brain (via caffeine). Turns out I had an macOS update pending. Once that was installed everything was good. Is that normal?

@thecowmanshow @Default69202648 @ConorGallaghe_r Isn't the EU a free trading market so i don't understand how this is practical if you can stop selling products from other states - is it the retailers can't sell it?

@Default69202648 @ConorGallaghe_r It's not just the cost of the label, it's having to create a specific label for Ireland (a tiny market) so many won't bother. Thus, it's a separate bottling run, etc.

Why is everyone so angry about this? how does it make your life worse?

@tagir_valeev But why..

SonarLint for Java suggests to merge these two 'if' statements to: if (index >= 0 && (str.charAt(index) == ' ' || str.charAt(index) == '\t')) {...} What do you think? Does this make the code better?

@GerryRy83211786 @eamonred246 @JEFFWHUR @DanielParke_ Will need to be before or we would a brexit style fallout. everyone will need to know what we are voting for (north & south)

@GerryRy83211786 @eamonred246 @JEFFWHUR @DanielParke_ yep & would expect that protection of minorities & their cultural heritage would be fully respected & written into the new constitution

@eamonred246 @JEFFWHUR @DanielParke_ @GerryRy83211786 Yep but it's now 2022 and unionists are being told a 'new Ireland' will be an island for all with a new constitution, flag,anthem, British identity and cultural protection etc. All this will be well ironed out long before we go to the polls..

@domdorn @mariofusco We're agreeing I think & spring data will support Optional but I personally would never use it as it's the devil's invention. 😀

@kellizer @mariofusco yeah.. like I said.. smell imho.. I prefer libs/frameworks where null is not a valid value and everything is not-null/required except what you explicitely declare as optional.. but yeah, styles differ.

The abuse of pass-through methods is a code smell and a possible symptom of overarchitecture.

@domdorn @mariofusco By product of spring data when nullable is a valid response..

@kellizer @mariofusco Hmm, i'd say having to do null checks at all (by using the wrong lang respective coding style/framework) or doing pagination in the service layer instead of a layer down where it can usually be done with way less ressources is a smell.. But yeah ^^

@domdorn @mariofusco Exactly.. that said, service may do some enrichment like null check responses, paging etc..

@mariofusco Would u say a pass-through from service to dao/repository is overengineered? Are you exposing repositories directly to controllers?

@GarthGilmour @JulieEGilmour @allianceparty Great news gareth.many congrats

She's in! My better half @JulieEGilmour has been reelected for @allianceparty in Threemilewater. Over the moon! #LE23

@DanielParke_ @JEFFWHUR @eamonred246 @GerryRy83211786 That is why the GFA is as it is. For this exact reason.

@JEFFWHUR @kellizer @eamonred246 @GerryRy83211786 Otherwise known as tyranny of the majority, which given the current state of community relations does not look like it would be a good outcome for anyone. Democracy is not about voting your guy in so they can ignore everyone else, politicians are meant to represent us all.

@JEFFWHUR @eamonred246 @DanielParke_ @GerryRy83211786 And this is why unionists fear a UI..

@kellizer @eamonred246 @DanielParke_ @GerryRy83211786 Would there be one? Or would the majority not just make the decisions. That's how democracy works. Majority rule.
