I've been writing our in house extranet with it, and the built in templating is very easy once you get the hang of it. The context addition makes it very easy to authenticate and pass that through to the endpoints.

The https stuff is done via Caddy server that automatically serves and updates the cert via LetsEncrypt - requests are then forwarded to the go app.

There has been more outrage about animal product (tallow) used in the new £5 notes...

It's because it allowed free thought man, and the man doesn't want people to think freely...

Sounds so dastardly it's probably true.

My wife is starting a stem group at our local primary school and the kids (aged 6-11) got most excited about the vinegar in bottle + balloon + baking soda experiment.

Mucky fat on a slab of bread is (or was) a staple in Yorkshire.

You get beef dripping from the butcher - beef juice with a top layer of fat - you then mash it together, and spread it on bread with a little bit of salt.

It's magical.

It's great when you discover that some of the tastiest meals can be extremely simple and quick to make - spaghetti carbonara takes pretty much the time it takes to cook the spaghetti, ie about 9 minutes - how's that for fast food.

I had a very similar experience with BOS back in the early '90s.

And you're spot on - there are so many people juggling these financial balls that one slip up can cause issues for years.

Second for Bitwig - I came from using Cubase (since '91 on an Atari) - and while it was a bit of a change, my workflow is much improved.

If there are bad snack items available, I will eat as many as I can stuff into my facehole as quickly as I can. I have no willpower.

The best way I've found to combat this is to not buy bad snack items.

Thanks for sharing this.

That makes me think of http://www.lingscars.com/ - which actually marks down ok.

I was in a car a few years ago that spontaneously erupted into flames at 70mph - well, it had been at 70mph - we were a few hundred yards on a motorway on a hot summer day when the car started slowing down, we pulled over to the hard shoulder and noticed the flames!

Oh, brings back memories. gopher wiretap.spies.com was always my go to gopher site.

Dundee's no pure misty like, ye bam.

A colleague noticed about 2 weeks ago that instead of 10 or so hosts in his list on the teamviewer website had suddenly grown to 600+ hosts - I witnessed this, and told him he should contact teamviewer. Shortly after this someone tried to take control of his brother's machine.

We use teamviewer host and haven't seen anyone trying to log in, but I'd rather not take the chance and have removed the software from all our machines. If we need to remote assist someone, they can run the software manually.

Having the ability to remote connect and repair problems is great, but when there is the remotest (pun intended) chance that it can be used nefariously then I'd rather limit the threat.

Strangely enough started using pytesseract yesterday and realised it was subprocess only.

Thanks, will give this a try instead :)

LFG on Tinder: "need partner for bangfit team"

That's an excellent idea. Far too often the driver in front appears to be driving strangely so you drop back a bit and hope they or you turn off so you don't have to be hypervigilant about their driving.

If there was an automated way of dobbing a driver in to the police then this would be useful too - quick tweet/email/text with the message: uninsured vehicle AB12 CDE travelling at 35mph location 51°29'51.3"N 0°08'06.4"W

"Make more shit. Shit on other's work less."

One of the best quotes I've seen this month.

This describes issues I have to a tee. I know a few basic words in multiple languages, mostly I use English, but I have noticed I tend to get worse after a long coding session - it's like my English cart gets taken out and replaced with something else.

What is quite scary is that my colleagues now understand from tone and context exactly which "thingy" I am referring to...

So it begins... I love April Fool's day...

"Ahh, this html is far too new and fiddly. Imma going back to Gopher."

Yes. Originally via Google Reader, but had to move to Newsblur when Google Reader closed. I like the fact it downloads and remembers the feed contents until I've read them, well, to a limit.

I used to dislike missing items (FOMO) and Reader was great for that, but because Newsblur has a limit per site I've gotten used to it.

Would be useful for us as we have to build a cart and get our Accounts dept to purchase it. We're in the UK though.

Very interesting. I was actually trying to remember this piece of software just the other day because I recognised a similar effect on a tv show and wanted to replicate it...

I'm a big fan of DPD's system except for the fact that their optimiser always tries to deliver to our house during school pickup - their software doesn't allow for any time exclusions and sometimes their drivers don't respect deliver to neighbour requests, otherwise their service would be perfect.

Yodel use self employed drivers, probably in a similar way to flex, but I doubt they get as much money - £30 to £50 a day - not sure how many parcels that entails.

We got hit by a similar spear phishing attempt - typically terse email from a buyer who used to be a Director.

Luckily we caught it. It was close though, the accounts clerk who received the enquiry asked for confirmation and then got bombarded with emails for a while - all single letter variations of the buyer's name.

Went to look at the story with my AVG 'protected' laptop and couldn't view it because the website may be a trojan!
