Re: When your opt-out does not apply
In CPRD it's anonymised to the point that you can only see location down to the level of "South East England". I don't think it has someone's job in (it was a while ago).

If you said the semiconductor shortage will last until Q2 2022, you would be correct, according to Gartner
Thursday 13th May 2021 08:47 GMT 
Despite the shortages, worldwide semiconductor revenues grew to $464bn in 2020, up by 10.8 per cent on the previous year, according to IDC, and were forecast to hit $522bn in 2021.
Scarcity means that more can be charged for the same thing, it'd be interesting to see the chip volume figures too.
'Big updates' to Mac design app Sketch add real-time collaboration – but you'll need to fork out for a subscription
Wednesday 12th May 2021 16:14 GMT 
This is the same path Adobe went down years ago. The last version of the perpetual licence Creative Suite was CS6, released in 2012, since when it has been subscription or nothing. Sketch therefore remains distinctive in still offering its "Mac-only" licence, even though it is upping the pressure to migrate.
Which is one of the reasons why many photographers are moving over to the competition.

Accidentally wiped an app's directory? Hey, just play the 'unscheduled maintenance' card. Now you're a hero
Monday 10th May 2021 07:55 GMT
When I was young and only had a PC with DOS on floppies, I had the clever "idea" of copying all data to a RAM disc and then copying back at the end so everything was nice and fast. If you ran out of memory then you'd need to delete a bit - of course I managed to del *.* in the wrong directory and deleted the DOS disc.
Luckily by this point I'd learnt to not touch the original disc and to only use a copy.

Traffic lights, who needs 'em? Lucky Kentucky residents up in arms over first roundabout
Wednesday 28th April 2021 12:41 GMT
Our traffic signals are equipped with in-pavement vehicle detector inductive loops. They work well during low traffic times to switch the lights. Unless you get stuck behind a Honda. Which evidently don't have enough metal in them to trigger the sensor. Then you could wait all night.
When I lived in Cambridge there were some traffic lights like that that weren't triggered by my bike, so I'd have to wait in the middle of the road until a car joined me...

Re: take care when abroad
>4. lock your laptop in the hotel safe when not using it. (Though once when I did lock something in the hotel room's safe, the lock was broken and the under-manager came along with his set of screwdrivers to unlock it)
I was once staying in a hotel and on checkout day the batteries in the safe (containing my passport and home keys) had run out; the guy from reception managed to open it in a worryingly short amount of time...
