Forcing the water companies to actually do their jobs and stop dumping sewage would probably help too.

Thanks for sharing this. It took me a second to realise that .bu = back up (I generally use .bak)

This is a great read. Those of you who only read the title or skim the first few paragraphs - I recommend you actually read through it all because there's loads of great parts in there like how she turned down an Elvis Presley cover.

Weather patterns are changing across the planet and mostly seem to be delivering droughts and floods. If the systems aren't good enough now, the UK needs to act while there's still time, because it's unlikely things will become more favourable.

Afraid I don't know, but please post the answer here if you do (particularly if you get the answer from somewhere un-indexable like Matrix).

Sit down kids and let me tell you the story of the Betamax wars.

I hadn't noticed how old this was, I wonder if they still have the same policy.

Haver you looked into the Oklch color space? Using them would make your e.g. darkness functions perceptually smoother, and supporting them as input values will make designers happy.

You mean Manos: The Hands of Fate? I wondered if you were talking about The Room at first.

With the same level of logic and proof, I feel free to say that since you've never made a film, released an album or published a novel, you're not allowed to criticise any of them or the people who have.

edit: It should be noted that @mosiacmango@lemm.ee edited their post after my reply to remove the bad arguments as well as the accusations originally levelled at @Dave@lemmy.nz and me, accusations that couldn't possibly be backed up. It now reads more reasonable and balanced.

I was able to complete a proof of concept in a relatively short time of four months

Interesting that they don't have time to add decent moderation tools, but do have time for this.

I'd written a plugin for WooCommerce as part of working on a B2B service. It was several years ago now, but from what I remember it seemed quite easy to write plugins for because it just used WordPress's hooks system.

WordPress isn't the fastest codebase around, so you'll probably need to spend more on hosting to get it running well enough, but compared to other PHP e-commerce offerings like Magento it'll fly.

It is thought the curious feline had been in a vat of hexavalent chromium, a highly acidic and carcinogenic chemical which is orange and brown in colour.

I'd clicked into this story after misreading the place as Fukushima. Nothing to do with anything nuclear, but it sounds like that that would have been better for the cat than this stuff.

PLA's a bio-plastic that, while technically biodegradable, will only break down under very specific industrial composting conditions - we're talking heat above 55-70°C, and in the presence of microorganisms. It's a lot better than fossil-fuel plastics, but it's still not great.

haha, ok thanks. So https://github.com/dtrx-py/dtrx

I'd initially assumed that it was a mnemonic but yes, listing and appending and extracting together is nonsensical, as tar notes: tar: You may not specify more than one '-Acdtrux', '--delete' or '--test-label' option

Meme reference

I didn't know about -d.

explainshell.com to the rescue!

It looks interesting. While the compiler is written in Rust (a RRIR from Erlang), the code itself runs on the Erlang VM or on JS. Unfortunately, you can't do hot code reloading and I'm curious what/if you have to sacrifice to run on JS.

Their cheatsheet for Rust users might be of interest to others.

And if you're posh, you have effectively unlimited choice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xewe4mlX2tc

The reason that island is spelt with an s is because English scholars mistakenly assumed that it was from the French isle (from Latin insula) and spelt it isle-land, which became island. It's actually from Old English iegland.
