Re:Basel has to buy domain name in the Bahamas after mishap on Friday January 31, 2025 @04:05AM (#42885928)
I think the argument comes from the full title being "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". If you drop NI then the other three countries can already be grouped under the Great Britain term.
I wonder how much effort it would be to put together something expanding on this that's really friendly to new developers exploring a system. The goal would be to have something that looks more like a traditional swimlane diagram, but with human readable labelling of the connections. The open telemetry data should provide a nice skeleton and then maybe use some LLM summarisation (with access to the source code) to label what's going on.

I vaguely remember this being a technique for getting past doors in the Splinter Cell stealth games (2002).

Retrieval augmented generation. In short you use an LLM to classify your documents (or chunks from them) up front. Then when you want to ask the LLM a question you pull the most relevant ones back to feed it as additional context.
Re:Dutch E-Bike startup VanMoof unable to pay the bills on Thursday July 13, 2023 @07:01AM (#36707365)
The cheapest here is around €500 (depending on exchange rates), with plenty under €1500.

Prices have dropped quite considerably recently. You can now pick up an e-bike as cheaply as €500. Once you get out of the "budget" range I'd expect to be paying more like €1500 for an average one.

You're still having to breathe the cold air though, which isn't great for your health below certain temperatures. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/sep/01/how-turning-...
In all the work environments I've been in (UK) the culture is the opposite, as the birthday person you are expected to bring in cake.

Single Page App. Simply: the application is loaded once when you navigate to the page and more ajax calls are used to retrieve data, perform actions as you use the app.

Re:Google Wallet Card on Monday November 25, 2013 @04:54PM (#6797345)
It's getting pretty infuriating the direction they seem to be taking on this. I would gladly be using the wallet app without a card, KitKat on my Nexus 5 has it baked into the settings even, but Google seem to have no desire to put it out in the UK.

Your "This field is required" validation labels obscure the postcode lookup dropdown for me when I submit before inputting any details. Otherwise, very nice!
Re:The Frameless Geodesic Dome I currently live in on Monday September 09, 2013 @05:34PM (#6356395)
At the low cost for that dome I'd be pretty tempted to stick another one on and divide it in two for kitchen and bathroom.
