For my personal projects I somehow ended up with git being on a OneDrive synced folder - carries over the general changes, then explicitly commit and push to get it to GitHub etc.

its marked as a crosspost - that’s an app issue, not a user issue.

Lots of the oil exploration ships are custom built for the job. This one is old, but I would guess that there may be some design information regarding it’s survey capability that was marked as protected when it was purchased, even if it’s not really relevant anymore

Saying that minimum housing requirements don’t apply to them is a slippery slope though!

And you know this wouldn’t stay temporary, once it’s allowed it would be normalised.

Office buildings are not built for housing, it’s often very expensive to convert them.

(More plumbing requirements, legal requirements for natural light etc)

It’s a very kill or cure approach… Let’s hope it works long term.

It’s still a huge yearly inflation rate though!

Wouldn’t assuming the Lira will drop more mean people would pay less for it though? So would make it worth less?

How does inflation in Turkish Lira cause the Dollar price equivalent to go up so much? Should the Lira not be devaluing against the Dollar at a rate similar to its inflation?

If not, doesn’t that actually indicate a strong Turkish economy?

Oh, ok, that’s annoying then. One of those cases where it feels like the person putting the course together has never actually interacted with children?

Is the fact that C# produced executables also a problem? With python you can ‘protect’ non lab computers at the school by just not installing the python runtime on them. Teach them c# and I guarantee they will be making executables to cause trouble.

Generally agree with you that teachers should be able to choose at least one of the languages to teach. basic web dev stuff is probably pretty useful to them though if it includes JavaScript?

I leant from scratch as my first programming language in year 12.

They tried to teach OOP in year 13, but I didn’t really get it until university.

This was years ago at this point, I think they introduced the programming GCSE the year after I did my A-Levels.

A scripting language like python is the ideal language to start with because you can JUST learn the programming bit without worrying about OOP, project structures, compiling etc.

Lots of us have the experience of being the kid in that situation though. I learnt python in secondary school.

I learnt to program in python (in year 12). It was pretty good:

• less intimidating than the languages full of braces/brackets.
• as it’s also a scripting language, you can ignore OOP and just write code.
• has lots of kid friendly drawing libraries (tortoise.py anyone?) so they can make things they can see on screen etc

PHP is native in Linux then?

How is that different to something like powershell?

I guess this kinda counts: https://wandrer.earth

It gives you points for every unique mile you walk/run/cycle etc with the idea of getting you to go to new places and explore. You then get bonus points for doing 10/25/50% etc of an area.

Works off Strava data, so you would have to actually record the walking. But I found it was great at getting me to go to new places.

It’s all about risk tolerance. It was thought that improved brakes on cars would hugely improve safety. However it had a much smaller affect as people just braked later… There is a level of acceptable risk that everyone has, increasing safety measures just means they take more risks up to that level.

Helmets make people feel safer so they do more risky things and therefore hurt themselves more in other ways.

Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t wear one though!

My cycling club mandates helmets, so not a problem. Only really come up with the hire bikes in cities etc.

Nope, I was to busy being miserable about having a broken collar bone.

Respect to the computer scientist who sorted that out. That has got to be an extremely satisfying bug to fix.

Personally, I have cracked open a helmet once. On a quiet country lane, with no traffic. Pot holes can catch you any time.

I don’t remember the crash, just the slide.

That is what makes me tell people to wear helmets.

I really want to try though! Not dared to try on a road bike though…
