Also they could use the cooling technology deployed at the Pier 1 location in Toronto. They suck cold lake water from the bottom of Lake Ontario, and return it a bit warmer.

…or take that waste heat and pipe it around the neighborhood to heat homes. Heat is energy. Dumping it at the bottom of a lake because “I don’t need it” when somebody else is going cold seems stupid.

Considering he’s barely been in 100 days, 90 days is forever.

It’s not a modern mining operation.

Well it’s fracking

All the EDA tools for silicon design are Linux based.

That sounds much better.

• US put up tariffs
• Chine put them up in response
• They now both drop them for 90 days

Nothing has been achieved.

What goal are we closer to? What does Trump want to get out of these negotiations?

So what has changed from before all of this? What have they agreed to that makes this all worth while?

My company is transitioning to teams. Most of our engineering is on Linux.

Can Microsoft please hurry up and break teams so we can’t transition?

The oil price.

It’s a response to Putin demanding Ukraine not be resupplied by it’s allies. An equally pointless demand that the Europeans are saying “No!” to.

My heart stops after every beat. Fortunately it has always started again before the next one…so far.

Fine, but I hope you’re taking a few seconds to understand why the error message you received came from the the syntactic mistake you fixed.

A single Vs double quote mistake should be 5 seconds from error message to fix, with a thought process like:

• “Unable” is illegal key-word on line 163
• Go to line 163 - “Unable” is the first word of a string…oh the previous string must not be closed correctly.
• Find previous string on line 154. There it is - the wrong quote mark.

If you don’t learn what the error message is telling you, you will be forever doomed take time to cut’n’paste code into an LLM. It might save you time today because that thought process takes you 2 mins not 5 seconds, but that’s not the level you want to stay at.

Dua Lipa? The artist who’s whole schtick is reworking other people’s songs?

Not the most convincing voice to talk on the subject.

Or emacs

“Bettors lose”… Bookies win.

Is this news?

Don’t worry. They’ve been fired.

Fair enough. I don’t know enough about US cattle farming.

I’d forgotten that. Haven’t brought petrol or diesel for about 6 years.

…because it’s the A40.

If you pedestrianised it you only have Euston road running east west across the city north of the river.

At the very least it needs to be open to buses, taxis and commercial traffic. I expect if you looked at the vehicles on using it, it would be buses taxis and commercial traffic. It’s been inside the congestion charge area for 22 years so it’s not used by people going shopping.

It is narrow. BBC’s key point are:

• Donald Trump removes the 25% tariff on UK steel and aluminium, and immediately cuts the rate on most car exports from 27.5% to 10%

• The lower car rate applies to the first 100,000 vehicles exported from the UK to the US each year - 101,000 were exported last year

• In return, the UK government says it’s removing the tariff on ethanol for US goods, and agrees “reciprocal market access on beef”

So we get to sell them steel, aluminium, cars, and beef. They get to sell us ethanol and beef.

I think we got the better end of that unless ethanol is massive in some way I’m not aware of. Having a larger market for British steel is at least joined up thinking given the recent issues with the Scunthorpe works.

Of all the animals products to take from the US, I think beef is probably one of the higher quality ones, although I may be wrong. I’d worry about our cattle farmers competing… But maybe more selling opportunities is more valuable. Americans do eat a lot of it.
