What is it about Java where companies are hesitate to upgrade? Do the Java releases always bring breaking changes or are the companies that use Java have a culture of not prioritising tech upgrades?

Are there no military vessel’s offering escorts in the area? Or is there simply too much traffic to escort every vessel?

Pretty Bad Tiramisu?

have year round acceptable temps for cycling, barely any hills to speak of, and no extreme weather excuses

It rains a lot in Ireland and they get plenty of wind from the Atlantic. This would probably put plenty of casual cyclists off.

I’m not convinced. There’s probably a chunk of people who don’t drive because they kept showing that they weren’t safe enough to drive by failing their test. If the aim is to reduce the barrier to entry for driving because tests are expensive (they’re £62 in the UK, really not that expensive) then those costs will only be countered by way higher insurance premiums as there will be more drivers who can just jump in a car and drive on their own and crash. Also as a driver and pedestrian, I really don’t want to be on the same road as those people.

so the driving test proves nothing

The driving test proves you can competently drive to a safe standard. I agree that you learn more through experience, but first you need to be able to drive to a particular standard before being allowed to drive on your own.

What’s the alternative if there’s no test? You just allow anyone who reaches the driving age to get in a car and drive on their own?

No. But my wife does and doesn’t reset the display so it’ll just show 3 rather than the time.

I’m not a mod of the feddit.uk equivalent so it’s not up to me, but I’d be cautious about doing so. I have lemmy.ml blocked so I can’t see their posts or comments, but I’m a bit wary about their users, it would be like redirecting a unitedkingdom community from hexbear or grad.

!UKCasual@lemmy.world

Yeah we can reach out to the mods there and see if they’d want to redirect to us.

This has been pretty much our experience too when our kids have been ill, except they didn’t have their own room but a small ward.

I think it’s more to do with phones - people are just more likely to do most tasks on a phone rather than a laptop.

NASA+ remains available for free, with no ads, through the NASA app and on the agency’s website.

It could be that Netflix can promote it on the platform to garner more interest.

I thought it moved away from the All4 name? Sounds too much like “Awful”, which would always sum up my experience using it.

In my mind a simple unit test should have caught this. Mock out the call to the service that sends the message and verify that it’s been called with the correct message, and cover the possible failure scenarios. That said I hate loosely typed languages lol.

The Darién Gap would be pretty wild. Also Haiti.

I’ve heard Egypt is particularly bad for this.

I also got offered 20 camels for my girlfriend at the time in Tunisia. I did that chap a big favour by not taking him up on his offer.

This isn’t the languages fault, it’s the developers.

A pair of running shoes and the remainder will be blown on physio sessions.

I’m banned too. I did try to create a new account but subreddits have invisible minimum karma thresholds that make it difficult to use as a new user.

Someone in the RAF regiment is about to have a very bad day.

LA residents just days away from creating a nuclear warhead.
