xennials
Ah, I was trying to remember what the term for that micro-gen was (I didn’t think it was xennial but it probably makes sense than the one I forgot).

I guess it’s the King’s English now. I’m always careful to avoid spelling things the US way, because as a programmer there’s some things (yup, like color) that I type more often in the US version than international English and muscle memory’s a sticky bugger.
curtesy of zagorath
fyi, you mean courtesy - curtesy is an old legal term.
I’ve only just found the channel, and am currently watching the one on Biomimicry. Glad to hear the quality’s consistent.
It makes sense, and would lead to cleaner diffs. Breaking my muscle memory for uppercase keywords would be tricky, though.
I can’t see the numbers in future getting any better, unless big changes are made. Many pilgrims are quite old, since some need many years to save up enough for the journey, and of course the temperature’s only going to be going up (even after La Niña).
It’s part of the rituals to get the timing exactly right, so it’s not like it can be moved to cooler months, like has been proposed for the Summer Olympics. It is moving earlier by a week and a half each year (because of the Islamic calendar) but when you’re talking 51.8C that’s not really moving the needle.
I’d heard talk of health-monitoring bracelets, which seems sensible.
“Their analysts determined that frustrating the user results in more time spent on the app—and more time viewing ads—than if users are satisfied. Remember in ‘The Matrix’ when The Architect tells Neo that the first virtual world the robots created was a utopia, but the people rejected it? It works sort of like that.”
Brilliant.
I forgot that Lance Armstrong was in this - quite fitting for a satire.
He’s a baddie from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Gotta love the Register
Huh, I never knew there was a mobile version of the site.
I’ve just had a quick poke around, and you can load up other people’s work - there’s a massive variety which shows just how much is in this simulation program.
You can load up simulations with the bottom-left icon, then hit the pause button that’s bottom right to start them off. If any talk about “sparking” they mean use the SPRK tool to put electricity in the thing they’re talking about - you can search for SPRK using the search tool above the pause button, or find it under the Electronics menu (second one in that right-hand side with the plug icon).
A great read, thanks for sharing.
At first I thought it was another safe with even more money, and I was wondering if I should get a magnet.
Its IMDb page is a bit sus: the reviews are an almost unbroken stream of gushing 10 star reviews, but there’s plenty of people voting it 1 star too. Astroturfing or just polarising?
What’s the collective noun for a group of politicians?
When Khan Academy was a big thing, there was talk of flipping teaching - having the homework be watching instructional videos (when you can pause, rewind and rewatch without embarrassment) and doing homework in school hours. It sounded quite good (at least for motivated kids (wasn’t me)), but I guess it died on the vine.
DIY store Waitrose
I don’t get this joke - why is this (decidedly non-budget) supermarket a DIY store?
I really hope this is successful, it’s really got the spirit of what made the early internet great.
I know right, kids tomorrow…
