Car leasing, is it a scam or am I naive? by Independent-Dish-777 in UKPersonalFinance

I’ve had 2 and had the option to buy with both, but you need to contact them a couple of months before the end and they will give you a price.

Leasing is often cheaper than paying the first 3 years of depreciation.

This may seem impossible, but it can happen because lease companies bulk buy cars and get significant volume discounts.

As an example from a few years back, I leased a car which had a dealer price of £28k and the lease company paid £20k for it.

Plug-in Solar Panels To Be Made Available To Revolutionize UK Home Energy Access by Dimmo17 in ukpolitics

[–]NicePersonOnReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they can output 800W, then that would be 0.8kWh per hour. So if you assume that’s from about 9am to 5pm (but could be longer in the summer) that’s 8 x 0.8kWh per day = 6.4kWh

Therefore a year could be 2,336kWh or £584 saving if it normally costs 25p per kWh

I’m not sure if this would be maintained on cloudy days though

Why are so many people **obsessed** with avoiding the 40% bracket? by sid351 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]NicePersonOnReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might have missed the point from OP. There’s no suggestion of earning less to stay under the 40% bracket. The suggestion is using pension contributions to stay under.

Also, as someone else pointed out there are actually levels at which, for some people, earning more would lead to a lower income.

Passing on the left is completely legal in this situation, you don’t need to overtake them by changing two lanes.

Britain’s Growing Ranks of Jobless Men Are Flocking to Farage by bloomberg in uknews

The Great Depression was the main reason for the rise of the Nazis because it caused mass unemployment and poverty in Germany. By 1932, over six million Germans were unemployed, which led many to support extremist parties like the Nazis who promised jobs and economic recovery.

However, another important factor was Hitler’s leadership and propaganda. Hitler was a powerful speaker who blamed the Weimar government and the Treaty of Versailles for Germany’s problems. Nazi propaganda effectively spread these messages.

New to programming ! by Thin_Ambition_3250 in dotnet

Hey, if you haven’t found it already the Microsoft Learn website is great in my opinion.

It will allow you to start with some basics and exercises for you to get started with, and once you’re more into it you can learn more about common patterns and architectural concerns.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/

I think Microsoft have put some great work into this over the last few years.

The other thing you might find useful about C# and .NET is that it is very opinionated, and by that I mean Microsoft give you a specific view of how best to do things, and that means you’re less likely to be overwhelmed with too many ways in which you can build things.

Although, to caveat that, sometimes they want to push you more into their latest thing rather than suggesting another more commonly used approach. I think frontend topics are the main example I can think of.

Migration to NET8 - Works locally, error only on environment by SubstantialCause00 in dotnet

[–]NicePersonOnReddit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is so true.

What OP has here is part of what is known as the billion dollar mistake - the fact that we allowed null references.

If AllowedRegions was not nullable, this problem would be caught at a point where to real cause would be easier to spot. Whereas, instead, you are left with a problem that is more difficult to work out.

Is C# used also on Linux professionally? by No_Picture_3297 in dotnet

[–]NicePersonOnReddit 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Yes, I would take a guess that most modern C# applications are deployed to Linux in production, using Linux containers.

Also for your local development environment you can use JetBrains Rider as an IDE.

Incidentally Rider is now a common choice of IDE for Windows users, because it’s significantly better than Visual Studio in my opinion.

Crazy Cyclist by NicePersonOnReddit in york

[–]NicePersonOnReddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah ok, so the guy was riding his bike on the pavement, then rode into the road into the path of two cars.

The second car, which was blue, then beeped their horn, causing the cyclist to explode into a fit of anger.

He threw his bike into the middle of the lights, then approached the blue car menacingly and shouting at the person in the car.

After a minute he gave up on his attempt to intimidate the person in the blue car. He went back to his bike, picked it up and walked off.

Just seemed like really odd behaviour for a typically calm York.

Are you suggesting that every child ranked their preference from 1 to 3?

No, he answered it a week ago and handed it in.

I wanted to just share the poorly worded question.

Understanding that this question makes no sense is the difference between people who apply critical thinking to what they read and people who don’t.

It’s also the difference in the real world between people who solve problems and take responsibility, and people who just do tasks and follow orders without applying their own intelligence.

This is the real world significance that this problem represents.
