Damn. We're at 1.80 here and I just spent 105 eur. Now, that did go 800km in a 7 seat people mover...


Cars and minivans get very very competitive if you are running them full most of the time.

Ireland: Hold my Guinness.

At least Germany has trains that go places. Ireland ripped most of their tracks out in the 50's and now there are two separate rail networks that are "joined" by taxi between Heuston and Connoly station in Dublin. Going from Sligo to Ballina (both on the west coast) means going through Dublin. I don't think any airport in Ireland is served by rail.


Fun fact; there used to be about _six_ terminus stations. Harcourt and Broadstone are gone, though parts of their lines have become parts of the luas system. Pearse used to be a terminus, but the loop line in the 19th century linked it in to Connolly, and it’s now a through station. Connolly used to be two separate termini for different companies, which is why it has such an anwkward internal layout.

There was supposed to be another ‘loop line’ linking Connolly to Heuston, but it never happened; DART Underground was also supposed to do that, but was cancelled. They just have a luas for now. The 2050 plan contains yet _another_ Heuston-Connolly link. Separately, Dart+ SW will provide a link from Connolly to a new station beside Heuston, which will be called Heuston West, presumably for maximum confusion of tourists. Trains from Connolly actually pass Heuston platform 10 (note that there is no platform 9 and never has been), but do not stop there.

The “loads of terminals in slightly awkward places” thing was actually a somewhat common feature of Victorian rail, but in most places they were at some point either consolidated or linked via metro. Irish Rail is simply preserving the highly inconvenient past :)

The worst bit is, it is likely that in the next couple of decades, Dublin will need a third terminus, because Connolly is more or less at capacity (and will be overcapacity after Dart+ is finished in 2030 or so) and can’t realistically be made larger.


It’s simple alphabetic.


Is "slash" (/) before or after "space" ( ) ... or both... before and after it?

Is 8 before or after 4 in the alphabet?


No, there's no reasonable ordering going on.

If it were ordered by ordinal values, "/" is 47 and " " is 32, so "1 in" would come before "1/2 in".

It's not alphabetized by letter word. Because while "Eight" comes before "Four", "Specialty" would come before "Three".

No matter which way you attempt to order it, something is out of order.

Softtalker probably got it right. This is some default or id sort.


Before. _E_ight vs _F_our.


But _T_wo is also before _F_our


The sorting briefly switches to reverse order there, so no contradiction.


3/8 doesn’t come before 3/4 alphabetically.


My 16 yr old just had his phone update and apply his old screen time settings from 4 or 5 years ago. Sorry kiddo, don’t remember the screen time password.

Now why they came back, and weren’t working before? The restrictions were so full of holes that they didn’t really work as anything other than a speedbump.


I don't have an iPhone so haven't tried any of this, but can you not treat your kids devices like you would a business's?

It looks like normal user device enrollment with device management is optional, hence why I think business probably makes sense.

The you can force all traffic through a proxy.

https://support.apple.com/en-sg/guide/deployment/dep7ba46fcd...

And since you have root certs on the devices, you can decrypt traffic and uniquely identify devices and block internet from your central management, at any time, regardless if the phone is on your wifi vs a friend's vs mobile data.

I think it should work.

How does this get the maps of the data flows and so on? Does it require read credentials to each data silo, or is there a manual mapping process?


It supports either, I didn't want to restrict people to just one method of getting their catalog populated. The CLI and Plugin system works on needing read credentials to a given Service, it then populates the catalog with those assets. Any lineage links currently need to be done manually (unless they're part of the same plugin). Otherwise, you can integrate with your existing IaC pipelines using Terraform or Pulumi to populate the catalog at deploy time instead of needing to scrape a bunch of services.


I love how the brake lever positioning there makes it look like they're grabbing their crotch the whole way down.


I just got one of the last beelink ser-8s with 64gb for $750. They sold out by the time my order arrived. The newer ones are starting around 830 for a 32gb machine (admittedly with newer everything)


I think this, like many problems, can be reefactored into the halting problem. Which we know how to solve…. Right?


We definitely know how to create a Jira ticket for it, and the rest is developer's problem.


For free, and 50% or more of your cloud spend.


I'll admit, bit of a poor choice of word,l. But when you need to do e.g. physical security, costs add up quickly over what you'd spend on cloud in say a year, and the compliance companies are usually a huge headache to deal with so that'll be some nice amount of your staff's time lost
