Using across a large codebase at my current employer. There may not be much in terms of blog posts but plenty of commits. Quite a few commits from shopify folk too (although a lot of that seems on the rbs comment support)

Some police forces run / have run schemes with undercover cops going for a run:

4 out of those 5 have a code of conduct in their git repo 🤷🏼

Ages ago there was an issue with one specific meter type, but from memory the impact was a lot larger than this https://octopus.energy/blog/perils-working-tech-innovators

Openreach (formerly British telecom), which runs the largest fiber network in the uk does assymetric over its gpon network (eg 330/50), and the trials of its new xgs-pon network are also assymetric (up to 8000/800

I feel like the tone has shifted. Early seasons felt more optimistic, space is out there to be conquered etc. Season 5 feels a lot darker - turns out they exported the same problems to Mars.

I’ve forgotten a few times and it’s been fine

I’ve had several cats through cats protection & was always able to go and visit them first.

test-prof has a lot of tools for diagnosing performance problems in tests. Beyond that parallelisation is useful (flatware).

I’ve heard that orgs like shopify use test selection frameworks so that locally only the subset of tests that are likely to be relevant to your changes are run. They describe this and some of their other approaches https://shopify.engineering/faster-shopify-ci

Why do your test processes get killed though - that sounds like a different problem to just “slow”

That’s weird - I’m probably only a few miles from you and yet I haven’t had a power up in about a year

My car will drop the charge rate if it the voltage is too low (which can be a combination of your load + variations of the supply voltage). It’s pretty conservative about bringing the charge rate back up, even when the voltage has recovered

There’s a page on the mcs website for requesting a copy of a certificate: https://mcscertified.com/consumers/mcs-certificate-queries/request-an-mcs-certificate/ (seems like proof of address is all they want)

bundle config path foo will install gems into the named path.

That said, why do you want gems to be installed in the current project’s folder?

existing customers seem to get lower rates on at least some tariffs. For example intelligent go is 8p/34p for a new customer in my area, but I’m on 5p/27p.

It’s not a fixed tariff. In this case at least it’s the opposite of the usual pattern of utilities only giving best offers to new customers

Ran the grizzly (in Devon). 20 miles, 914m of elevation gain, loads of mud, running through knee-deep bogs and streams. Loads of fun!

Hmmm

```

  # Run selected generators
  @options[:features].each do |feature|
    puts "  Running #{feature} generator..."
    # Note: In a full implementation, this would run the actual generators
  end

```

For once a week none of the season ticket etc things make any difference.

I do a similar journey (but from Ely) - you can save quite a lot by doing a greater anglia advance single to Liverpool Street in the morning (usually there’s some up to a day or 2 before) and then using a railcard to purchase a single in the evening.

Slower than the Kgx train but often doesn’t make that much difference since you don’t have to then go from Kgx to Liverpool Street

If you’re into or would like to do more running, Ely runners is friendly.

Training sessions are Tuesdays and Thursdays and cater for a range of paces (there’s also a specific beginners course they run twice a year so)

When I’ve used brakeman in the past, adding it to a new codebase is a bit of a chore for sure. However, once I’ve marked those inital false positives as such (with a note), I’ve not found it to be an ongoing burden.

Short answer is that it varies. It can be first in first out, some traders may have priority, it can be pro rata, some combination of the above. Different types of instrument use different rules (as far as I know the reason at this point is that it’s difficult to change now without people kicking up a fuss)

CME has this video about the algorithms they use: https://www.cmegroup.com/education/matching-algorithm-overview.html

A similar scheme in London (euro 4 petrol/euro 6 diesel, but it’s not a ban - you have to pay £12.50 to drive a non compliant vehicle in the affected area for a day) is estimated to have reduced NOx by 24% and pm2.5 by 29% (the estimation part is largely how much would things have improved without this due to natural replacement of older cars) - https://content.tfl.gov.uk/london-wide-ulez-one-year-report.pdf

So it’s had a huge impact (and there were similar naysayers in the uk too at every step of this)

In addition to what others have said about trajectory you’re quite underpowered - you’re accelerating pretty slowly, ie a lot of your fuel is just going to gravity losses.

The greater anglia trains to Liverpool Street are cheaper. Slower too, but if your office is close to Liverpool Street there might not be much in it. I come in from Ely (to Liverpool Street) and can get an advance single for £20 on the way it and then an off peak single in the evening for about £22.

If you’re flexible about which two days you come in you can save a lot by buying a week season ticket on Thursday and then doing Thursday/friday/monday/Tuesday - you only need to buy 24 1-week tickets a year

From reinvent last year - https://youtu.be/VbQj8DpWUGc?t=2434, saying they will provide advance notice before major versions, therefore no al2025 (which I guess means no 2026?)

I’ve found joining a running club helpful, especially when I’m not actively training for something. There are 2 main training sessions a week, and once I’ve signed up to a session I always go, even if the weather is bad, I’m busy, feeling lazy etc, whereas if I was just running on my own I could easily talk myself of it. I also do parkrun on a Saturday

Basically something that you can’t do anytime is easy not to do at all, something that you have built social relationships around and/or has a fixed schedule is easier to keep going (for me at least).
