> If you're following a slow driver. By definition they will be going below the speed limit

That doesn't mean it's safe. I had the terror of joining the motorway behind a car doing 30mph last night. It kept that speed once we miraculously made it onto the lane. It was an absolute menace.

I really dislike the prospect of more software in cars.

Anyone have any links to help me understand the terms, how they actually gather seismic data etc. I'm interested and would like to learn.

Poorer pay, less interesting stuff to work on and tbh from my own experience, the guys currently there aren't very talented. A fair few had never even been in industry and it showed (e.g. not believing in source control/management).

Huh, I signed it about 10 minutes ago yet it's back down now. Must be a lot of traffic!

Nope. I have an iPhone 5se. When it dies (hopefully not soon!), I'll be on the market for a similar sized phone. Don't want bigger.

> They just aren't around.

How do you mean?

Only if you're publishing.

I'm not in SV but have worked in a few different areas/industries and all are big C++ houses. I'm not old :)

I'm in a bubble too. I couldn't name a single friend or colleague who uses Rust or Go.

Just for example, scanning the jobs in my city the most in demand are c#, java and c++ in that order.

Well the first thing to realise is that you live in a bubble.

Yeah I dunno about that. Sure they don't care about airplane model in general but this is fast becoming a known name and associated with crashing. In the past few days I've had my in-laws and my own grandma asking me to help check their planes for booked flights. You just need a bit more of the tabloids to run on it and this model plane is finished in the public's mind.

Browser plugin/something so that when I search a route on Google Maps, I get the calories I'd lose if I walked it, how much money I'd save from not driving and much of a carbon saving it is. You know something like that.

Just as a side note, plenty of banks and building societies are open on a Saturday.

Wow. I was under the mistaken impression that the devices were more robust than that.

I'm very anti these devices, now I'm even moreso!

Facebook supported xmpp until about 2015 iirc.

> I normally have it on mute because I find it activates and starts recording private conversations.

What?!

Nope. I've double checked all my booked flights for the rest of the year to ensure I'm not going on any of them.

I think this is gonna be a big issue and we'll see the entire fleet scraped.

> Is the short form (Republic of Ireland) ROI used often?

Most often usages for me are filling out forms and that's often the shorthand representation next to the soccer team's score during a match.

I don't think they're that high. I did a brief search and both locations mentioned are using the iZettle in the following link (1.75%) - https://merchantmachine.co.uk/contactless/

Not where I live :D

> In most countries of the world the issue of banknotes is handled exclusively by a single central bank or government, but in the United Kingdom seven retail banks have the right to print their own banknotes in addition to the Bank of England; sterling banknote issue is thus not automatically tied in with one national identity or the activity of the state.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banknotes_of_the_pound_sterlin...

For instance if I were to go further south, any Scottish notes I have would not be accepted in a load of places. More generally using banknotes from Northern Ireland in Britain will get you funny looks and a near 100% refusal.

From my limited view of it all. Having no cash means a reduced risk of robbery, burglary, stealing cash by staff, not having to do bank runs, getting change in etc.

I don't know the costs or anything, but it must make sense for these businesses at least?

I don't know about the US but around where I live, there's at least two establishments which don't take cash. I can see all the advantages from their POV.

Personally I'd think it laughable if the government attempted to force them to accept cash.

What next, make them accept cheques?!

I've been using VS near daily for 8 years and I had no idea about that! Thanks.

What about Achill-henge? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achill-henge

:D

Not a big Twitter user (never tweeted and only follow a small amount of people/services) and I've seen this again and again. I didn't really think it was in dispute?

When did they not?

Yeah, good lad pats head

> I have relatives who live in Donegal, Ireland. They don't even have house names, just their personal name and a townland.

Ha, yeah same with my relatives in Mayo. When sending wedding invites, my English (now) wife was so confused by it all. Particularly so when Mr/Mrs <FAMILY_NAME>, <TOWNLAND>, Mayo would be applicable to a lot of people so first names are a must :)

I really like the style you have there (achievements and then tech used). All nicely laid out. One thing:

> Created a user interface in XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language) using Microsoft Expression Blend and Microsoft Visual Studio (version).

"version" seems like something you meant to come back to? And I'd ditch the explanation of XAML.

I really hope you find something.

Dunno, the OP just says possession. Why do you ask?
