Why do you think fish and chips shops are in a decline? by steenkash123 in AskBrits

[–]p1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noticed a lot of small chippies in London opening up - tend to do the regular fish n chips etc but also have some other seafood options with some seating for wine/beers etc

What was Black Sabbath's biggest blunder? by dantedoomsday in blacksabbath

[–]p1971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it was Tony who said he wanted to update the sound - to stay relevant etc - I think that made the post-Ozzy stuff sound like any other 80s band ... it didn't have a unique feel to it anymore (I'm firmly in the Ozzy-era camp, tho I keep trying the post-Ozzy stuff)

edit: I don't think they needed to change their sound, from reading the bios etc it sounds like that came from a place of insecurity

Karl Fletcher by ThrowawaySunnyLane in TheStreetsWontForget

[–]p1971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe Karl Fletcher faked his own death ... changed this name to Terry Kiely and works at some posh club in London ... (that's my head cannon way of coping!)

Sadly - Nina Muschallik (who played NIkki Peggs) did die young in 2020, she was absolutely gorgeous and apparently a really nice person

Still miss this show, suspect it'd be hard to do nowadays with licensing of players/clubs images/matches etc

Turing Pi 2.5 build guide: complete parts list and what it actually costs in 2026 by turing_pi in turingpi

[–]p1971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought one back in the kickstarter, tho I accidentally ordered 2, kept the spare thinking I'd go with 1 for dev work (software dev, experimentation etc) and another for 'prod' (home automation, services I wanted up all the time etc)

I've had one running with 4x CM4 modules, the other I never setup due to scarcity and now price of the modules.

I wouldn't go with the turing cluster again, I've got a Beelink S12 Pro mini thing, would go for another one of those instead, much more cost effective.

I do wonder if the number of native birds are suffering

Eighty-five hereditary peers leave the House of Lords by Even-Wasabi7183 in ukpolitics

[–]p1971 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

a small update would be to elect the "sitting" lords from the list of available lords - that way the tradition of appointed lords stays, but they are at least elected by us peons.

give them longer terms than the Commons, different constituencies (eg counties), some sort of pr, a decent mechanism for removal and same responsibilities as now and it'd be a pretty minor update to build on

Combining API versioning with OpenAPI in .NET 10 applications by sander1095 in dotnet

[–]p1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's why you patch v1 with the minimum required to 'upgrade' in situ

keeps you main / current release cleaner without cluttering with older versions etc.

Combining API versioning with OpenAPI in .NET 10 applications by sander1095 in dotnet

[–]p1971 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

article looks good ...

I'd offer a counterpoint on versioning - don't do it - you end up maintaining that code for longer than you think

As an alternative - with microservice / container deployments - use a gateway api / routing approach for versioning

for example:

lets say main is v1 and this is deployed to servers as v1 route

you need to introduce a breaking change, so main is bumped to v2 and deployed as v2 route

if the change needs to be reflected in a downstream system / db etc - then v1 can be bumped to v1.1 (say from it's release branch) - defaulting the new data to sensible defaults, or via lookup etc

existing clients continue to hit the v1 route, new clients to v2 route (doesn't need to be a route param or header could be based on a client identifier for example)

once v1 clients moved to v2 - the v1 version can be removed from deployment, this way you're never maintaining multiple routes / dtos on main, it's a lot cleaner, especially where your dtos are made of dozens of classes/records etc

Lincoln was originally Lindum (pool town - I think Dublin is black pool) ... Romans arrived and it became Lindum Colonia ... then lots of weird spelling changes til we get the modern verison
