USB-C is an absolute shit-show. Half a dozen types of identical looking cables all with different performance and compatability. They can be power only, USB-2 only, USB 3, 3.1, 5gb, 10gb. Some can carry 5A, others only 3A. Some may support thunderbolt. Cable sellers and manufacturers can/will claim anything.

For people selling USB-C devices it's a massive support problem. It looks like the device is defective, but someone may just have swapped out the cable for their phone charger cable and there's no way of telling.

From memory, I think the road bends just before the gates so if you missed the bend you would end up driving into the gates.

Incidentally, the grounds are surrounded by an anti tank fence made out of old railway line yet there is a public footpath through the grounds across the driveway.

Car engine injector cleaner and almost any add-it-yourself fuel additive.

Soviet maps of the UK are redrawn versions of maps from uk publishers (Ordinance Survey). This was discovered from identical locations of height measurements. Who did they copy here?

Ordinance Survey attempted to sue the publishers of the Soviet maps for copyright violation. They were still selling the maps after the fall of the Soviet Union.

Browsers made the Internet usable for the general population. The Internet as we know it would have remained a network for academia, governments and large corporations. Smartphones would not have been developed. Without a reason for everyone's homes to be connected to a high speed network, TV would remain the remit of cable and satellite broadcasting - no streaming services.

Is there A Docker image that will test and report if any of the weaknesses listed are present in the host?

I went to uni in the mid 90s when Y2K prep was all the rage, went back to do another degree 20 years later. It was interesting to see the graffiti in the CS toilets. Two digits up to about 1996, four digits for a decade, then back to two.

For me it's good, let's me leave emails on the server so my desktop can read them too. Let's me reply below or above and compose in ascii. Doesn't impose ways of working I don't want.

It's kind of frustrating that this is done to give more screen-space, but then that space is often wasted on stylization

I wonder what made youTube decide to fix this loophole? These days the vast majority of people use phone apps or smart TVs to watch. The number of people using Firefox plus ad blockers must be quite small and it'll be a constant effort to keep updating their anti ad block algorithms.

This presentation from CPP-On-Sea 2022 is relavent https://youtube.com/watch?v=sjLRX4WMvlU Two classes for managing pimpl

 

Finally watched Tenet. After all the hype and discussion on Reddit when it was released, I was expecting some sort of neigh-on impenetrable profound piece of cinema, but it's just Primer with action sequences.

 

Has anyone tried growing A Bay Leaf plant as a bush? I'd like something about 4' / 1.2m tall. I'm in the south of the UK. The location won't get direct sunshine for much of the day and very little at all in the late autumn, winter.
