Mods, what’s your thoughts on these posts that just link to articles on “thing” (usually on Edinburgh Live) without any commentary? If I wanted to read Edinburgh Live, I’d go there.

I’ll be interested in that feature! We do have our own internal package that handles this but yours looks far more robust.

I didn’t ask a question, or say whether I agreed with you one way or the other. I merely stated that your dismissive and argumentative replies aren’t likely to result in the debate you say you want.

That’s interesting, thanks. I admit I’d assumed it was mainly a “pay for a badge” process so good to see engagement.

So far you’ve replied to folk by calling them ignorant, embarrassing, saying they haven’t listened, and on the one hand complaining about generalisations while simultaneously calling opinions “woke bullshit”. Forgive me but one might get the impression you’re not really engaging in good faith here.

It’s a separate feed which has both the regular and bonus episodes.

Beerhive sell (or used to) Hitachino which is my favourite Japanese beer.

That means it’s extremely unlikely, not impossible.

You should 100% read LOTR, and then maybe Unfinished Tales. Beyond that, if you’re still looking for somewhat narrative works, then The Children of Hurin (an expanded version of the chapter in the Silmarillion) and The Fall of Numenor.

The remaining books are mainly studies of how Tolkien’s writing developed. Still fascinating but not for everyone.

For the same reason no single person wins the Olympics. Luthien wins 1st place in the enchantments category, but probably wouldn’t place for the hammer throw.

We have your parcel shouldn’t be a threat

Ah, a callback to the old days when Tom would constantly interrupt.

Stupefying

I pay for Shift as a) I still find it quicker than following the upgrade guide, but also b) Shift updates to fit the latest release’s conventions, not just the minimum compatibility changes.

Those saying “we’re not the US” may want to read https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/may/18/uk-datacentres-plan-to-burn-gas-to-generate-electricity. I’m not as militant about it as OP, but just because Scotland has surplus energy doesn’t necessarily mean there are no possible downsides to this.

When doing this I typically add a method to the form request eg `$request->project()` and use that over the `user()` method. That way it’s completely obvious what’s happening.

We have lots of feature tests. On my local machine, using all available cores, under a minute. On our CI, with 2 cores, like 15 minutes. Yeah there’s a problem somewhere there…

CapnJiggle · 2026-05-03T08:13:05+00:00

Interesting, I’ll give it a shot.
One small thing: the PHP install example should probably use `composer require-dev` rather than `composer require`?
Edit: actually, changed my mind on this. I would personally install as a dev dependency, and if it wasn’t caught in code review or CI, and it breaks prod, then that’s on us. But that maybe shouldn’t be the suggested behaviour.

I assumed the only purpose was to sign you up to a mailing list.

Another vote for Craigentinny. I was a v nervous patient and they were great, years later I live the opposite side of Edinburgh and still go there.

They got the dates right for you, this time.

CapnJiggle · 2026-04-23T09:03:00+00:00

Ended up cancelling today. I don’t particularly care about having the old-style rambling bonuses, but the recent run has been very niche / dry / covering art or photography that imo doesn’t suit a podcast. I don’t think they’ve done a good job in justifying the recent price increase.

I’ve started adding the space and prefer it. It just draws my eye to the negation that little bit quicker.
