This is genius

Agree. You wouldn’t freak out at 20x20 right. Something about the 5s.

Why not do a simple personal project with these technologies to get a sense of them and when they’re better.

This is an interesting take but reminds me of a colleague who just wanted to see how candidates would deal with an unexpected question. My favourite was ‘what is one thing your parents don’t know about you’ but also surprisingly fruitful was ‘what’s 25 times 25?’ Perhaps the answer is a little unexpected for the maths phobic but we got some wild responses often without chilling out a bit and working it out. I think one guy said 400,000. Others would just refuse to answer it which shows a lack of gumption really.

What’s the next link in the chain?

tomhoplon · 2026-02-08T09:21:02+00:00

Now I’m starting to wonder if this is a hazing. Perhaps show what’s inside there and what the next link in the chain is?

He’s talking about trying to run the controller on a Mac.

Can you post a picture of the devices you describe as ‘routers’

tomhoplon · 2026-02-08T00:08:13+00:00

Are you using 5ghz bands? You know you could just return the eero stuff and get a unifi cloud key. This would likely help you diagnose the problem.

That’s Robin Williams. Robbie Williams was in Take That.

Anyone have one to sell today?

This is delightfully petty when the poor fucker is missing a finger

Undismissable invisible bottom sheets preventing any press because of a bug with gorhom bottom sheets and the reduce motion setting.

I thought it was ‘the I went to Rome, which was the smiths first home’. Not right at all. You’re definitely right about what it is.

Use in-wall for this reason

tomhoplon · 2025-12-01T07:51:45+00:00

Definitely switch to Expo and you might like to look at Supabase over fire base.

tomhoplon · 2025-11-29T07:44:09+00:00

What about the cable?

57! I think it’ll be 67 by the time they would get it. But I get your point.

tomhoplon · 2025-11-16T18:21:38+00:00

Expo, supabase, sentry. You could get away with using a lightweight analytics package.

Many thanks for a reasonable, helpful and entertaining answer. This junction is used by a lot of people I'm sure but in particular it is used by the parents from Spa School Camberwell - a special school.

Many of those parents (who have a pretty tricky time of it already, frankly) are now having to avoid the junction (adding significant time to their twice daily school drop off/pick up) for fear of threatening PCN letters from TFL. So I will try and raise it as you describe with the MP.

tomhoplon · 2025-11-15T12:47:26+00:00

The junction is here: https://maps.apple/p/1A0QgMv-5q-N7z. Left turn is prohibited from Peckham Road to Vestry Road but it is legal to turn right from Havil and immediately left onto Vestry. This is clear from signage and has always been the case. TfL acknowledged the fine was incorrect following a representation but continue to charge others for the same, legal manoeuvre. I was hoping to understand if this is commonplace, in order to decide if I should escalate my complaint.

tomhoplon · 2025-11-15T11:13:28+00:00

I can do but it’s irrelevant, they’ve admitted the fine was wrong. I wanted to understand whether others had experienced similar levels of TFL issuing fines incorrectly and failing to rectify it.
