What is your country's "coals to Newcastle"? (feddit.uk)
 

I was talking with a friend who mentioned "taking tea to India". It made me wonder what the equivalents are around the world. "Taking coals to Newcastle" is the UK's.

This is poetry.

My favourite part is that he uses the modulo operator in his Python script to generate the C code.

Today I finished 20th Century Boys (feddit.uk)
 

I'm in awe of Naoki Urasawa's storytelling abilities. He has a marvellous way of handling suspense by controlling the way critical details are revealed, or not. I love his crisp art style.

I think the work as a whole could have been much shorter, with many of the subplots pared away, and overall the series had the feeling of starting out with a brilliant premise but no clear idea of where it was headed. It would have benefited from tighter control.

All this says, this is one of the best manga I have read. Bravo!

What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"? (feddit.uk)
 

I've been using Linux Mint since forever. I've never felt a reason to change. But I'm interested in what persuaded others to move.

Six books (and one play) to read to understand British politics today in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk

I finished this one recently. It was brilliant and utterly horrifying. Have you read his previous one, How to Be a Liberal?

Lay it on me, people!

Just played my first game of Escape the Dark Sector (feddit.uk)
 

A lot to remember when doing the combat sequences, but a really fun co-op game! Anyone played it?

Statistical Rethinking - A Bayesian Course with Examples in R and Stan (and PyMC3, brms, and Julia too) in c/python@programming.dev

His book is THE best book on statistics I've ever read. Thoroughly recommended.

Two Women at a Window - Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1655-6) oil on canvas in c/artporn@lemm.ee

Really like this! It's such a lovely, natural, unforced pose that they must have held for the sixteen hours needed to paint it.

Is there a way of browsing random communities? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] case_when@feddit.uk 5 points 10 months ago

What I enjoyed doing on The Other Place was going to a random community and seeing its top posts, its hot posts. It gave a sense of how vibrant or interesting it was.

Thanks! This is it for the bus stop series, but I have a few other projects in mind now I'm more confident with smaller figures. Stay tuned!

A fancy fineliner. I use a Rotting Isograph with a 0.1 mm nib. It has a refillable ink reservoir which I really like, making it quite cheap to run. Plus you can order just the nib if you break one in a fit of frustrated scribbling-over.

Thanks! I deliberately went for speed over accuracy, and as a result the proportions are all over the place. But I'm glad I captured something of them!
