Sad but very much true.
Six months in, the new Labour government has done exactly as much for the two million Britons with Long Covid as the Tories did—nothing

Is it legitimate to allow a whitespace character as the first char of a password? Can a password be all whitespace?

Hot Take of the Day - (micro)services and modular monoliths are not mutually exclusive architectures
a module in a monolith could be defined/built/owned by a microservices, while the other modules could be purely defined inside the monolith

As someone who remembers when "being on the computer" most definitely was its own activity, and who's entire job now is literally using a (proper) computer, I agree with this so much!
I know "being on the computer" as a hobby is not a thing anymore. but apparently many people don't use desktop PCs/macs/laptops EVER? not even at work? I love tablets but they're so weak and mobile apps suck so much. I just can't imagine the type of (enviable?) life where you don't need a COMPUTER

- overwork results in poorer work, particularly in creative endeavours;
- overwork harms the worker's mental health e.g. burnout; &
- overwork harms the worker's family.

The utterly plausible case that climate change makes London much colder

Just updated my handle to be my website domain, so you can tell I'm definitely myself here. Not than anybody would want to impersonate unimportant little me. Quite a clever and interesting way to verify legitimacy actually.

The obligatory first post on a new platform... I'm a software developer living in the UK who enjoys being out in the woods with a camera trying to take some reasonable shots. You can also find me on my website (markembling.info) or on a number of the other social platforms.
