A side effect of LED backlight keyboards, most switches only let through light on the top (north) side or the bottom (south) side, and so the text on passthrough keycaps has to be all on the north side or all on the south side too.

... human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!
I'm not sure what a plain-English replacement for that error code would look like.
Well I am, as it's a consumer-facing product, it would be something along the lines of, "Hey there, something's not quite right :(, why dontcha try again later when it's right. :)" with a whimsical doodle next to it.
Fucking IT.
The client is going to be running and using power anyway. The solution isn't hiring your bit of the data centre to continually receive data from software running on clients and maybe serving up adverts to the client, the solution is producing software which doesn't require constant online tracking.
CLion introduced remote C/C++ development a few months ago but I think it was the last of the IntelliJ-based IDEs to do so but makefiles aren't quite as well supported as CMakefiles and the project configuration menu is a maze of twisty passages, all alike.
So I guess C/C++ will be bringing up the rear for the Fleet IDEs as well.
In the end it all boils down to "this is my remote directory, this is my makefile, this is my build command" yet most IDEs manage to make remote projects more complicated than they need to be.
I afraid I just can't take Sappeur that seriously, it's practically a hobby project. It is to C++ as TypeScript is to JavaScript, i.e. it's more of a method of enforcing design patterns rather than a new language. Also the source code is from a version of the language from a decade ago, what's on the website appears to be closed source.
It was sold as being simplified, but it's being complicated...
a hammer I keep hitting him with
Snort. Yes. Shame it's a Fisher Price "my first toolkit" hammer.
And as for the joint procurement, I made no other comment other than it was open to as many EU countries who wanted it, including the UK as well as it was still in the transitional period. No country was forced to do anything it didn't want.
Also didnt the UK get a great supply of ventilators very quickly?
No, it got ventilators made by people who didn't know how to make them which weren't suitable for the job.
The inside story of the UK's NHS coronavirus ventilator challenge
Britain’s top diplomat: UK opt out of EU ventilator scheme was ‘political’
Are you just Dan 55 but dont want to seem really dumb?
No, I'm the one who's as dumb as a bag of spanners, the AC is someone else.
None of these things you mentioned were in the Vote Leave manifesto so I guess you're looking for good news where you can find it, but let's have a look closer.
For example if you were in the UK you were probably offered vaccination before member countries abandoned the collective procurement. ROI only able to watch as NI (under UK law) had vaccine.
The UK could have shared with Ireland, but decided not to, nor will it, because it still doesn't have its whole adult population vaccinated.
The choice of collective procurement was up to each individual country, and the UK also had that choice. It decided not to take it. It funded the AZ vaccine, rolled it out, but is now is falling down the chart and not getting on with double vaccinating the whole population above 11.
And the covid bailout fund where the EU issues debt in the name of member countries directly at great expense that we are not part of.
If the ECB didn't do anything you'd be saying the EU doesn't take care of its own so... meh. Where's the UK Covid recovery fund BTW?
And the global financial centre of Europe which is only second in the world to New York is removing regulations designed to shackle it by the EU, while the EU has again backed down on trying to move Euro clearing out of the UK (for fear of going broke).
The plug was never going to be pulled on this overnight, but Amsterdam has overtaken London for stock trading and Euronext will ditch London for clearing by 2024. The EU also granted equivalence to the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
The EU started with the position that FoM is intrinsic to bring part of the single market. It still is.
The UK chose to leave the SM (May's Lancaster House red line speech), negotiated that, hence no FoM.
The EBA agreement never meant African states joining the SM, hence no FoM.
I fail to see what the problem is, other than you've confused FTAs with the SM.
You're a bit confused, the EU has got a FTA with the UK without FoM. This is what it looks like. If you wanted an even freer trade agreement then that's called staying inside the EU.
The EBA agreement with Africa is in no way like trading inside the single market/customs union, there are still border formalities, just like there are with the EEA/Switzerland, with Canada, and with the UK.
I voted in full knowledge it risked an entire decade of economy harm, because I wasn't voting on economic grounds. The economic impact since has been broadly minimal, entirely swamped and overwhelmed by the pandemic.
Only the ONS estimated the damage by Brexit at twice the damage of the pandemic.
It's hilarious, you can say what the UK has lost and will continue to lose over the next decade, but you still can't say what the UK has gained, because it hasn't gained anything, nor will it.
I must have played Batman, Head over Heals, and Match Day II for years, they were that good. Batman and HoH were much more playable than than the Ultimate isometric games and Match Day II was only finally beaten by Sensible Soccer.
It's supposed to stand for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport.
And chips are digital, innit?
"The difference being that unlike Singleton's ZX Spectrum game, you can read about what Elite did on the Elite Wiki and then study the source code to see how David Braben and Ian Bell achieved it."
There is the source code for the DOS remake available and you can read the blog by Chris Wild. Until recently there was a mobile version but the toolchain which was used to compile the game was retired which means that the game is unavailable while it's being re-written, as not keeping it up to date with the latest and greatest Android and iOS causes support issues.
Have a look at this article, including the embedded twitter thread for a few reasons as to why the UK's service stations are so poor.
Also, given the total shit show HGV drivers are forced to endure in the UK with the total lack of facilities, it could be a real winner here and will go some way to improve the working conditions of HGV drivers?
It's easy to improve the working conditions of HGV drivers, the British government just doesn't want to.
