"The general rule – IP ownership

The general position under English law is that IP rights created by an employee within the course of employment automatically belong to the employer; where there is any doubt as to whether an employee or their employer owns IP rights, the relevant legislation largely favours employers."

It's been that way for decades, while the UK was in EU.

I had to get it written into an employment contract that Open Source activity outside of work was my own.

If all the environments are made of rocks and water (and therefore oxygen and hydrogen atmosphere) then chemically you've got enough for converting sunlight to power, surely?

> By using a machine you switch from having one well understood, pretty standardized ui paradigm: put stuff on track, tracks goes to checker, checker checks them through, you pay and bag your stuff

Even this is not universal. In Sweden the checkouts have that divider so the checkout clerk can start scanning the next customer's products while you're packing.

In the UK, you can't move on until the other person has bagged and removed which you're expected to do before paying, which makes self-checkout considerably faster because you're already bagged.

Sugar for the base.

I made pizza yesterday, it was pretty much the above. I also added Tabasco for fun.

There were shops which had ways to get data on and off mobile phones possibly with custom cables, I'm not sure how they did it. I had a Nokia data transferred to a Samsung once.

I think they could also SMS the ringtones to the phones.

25-29p, I seem to remember the larger Mars bars were 35p or 40p around 1996

haha, oh god the twisted pair coax and "can everyone come out and COMIT again"! Man, those were good times!

The rule is supposed to encourage being apart from each other, not how many can you pack into an arbitrary measurement from Some Agency.

In the UK it's 2m which is MORE than 6ft.

Nodejs is faster than Python as a general rule, anyway. As I understand, Nodejs compiles Javascript, Python interprets Python code.

I do a lot of Django and Nodejs and Django is great to sketch an app out, but I've noticed rewriting endpoints in Nodejs directly accessing postgres gets much better performance.

Just my 2c

If you're "Pro-office" you're dictatorial. This is a problem.

The cat is out of the bag. I haven't worked in an office in nearly a decade, anyone saying "you have to be in the office" will be drawing from a dwindling pool of supplies.

Same. I've got a purpose built office in the garden I built for my wife and I five years ago.

We've got wired internet, power, whiteboards, sofas, variable desks, multiple monitors, it's great.

But we built our business fully remote back in 2014, we've been doing this forever now. While our work colleagues are in their kitchens or on their sofas. It's not sustainable.

They didn't know where the front line was?

I like Go and Elixir from the minimalist approach but I've delivered so many projects recently by using Django and Django Rest Framework with a React front-end simply because you get ORM, Admin, form validation etc out of the box.

In a couple of days you can have a production-ready site and I've never seen anything quite like it for productivity.

Isn't that the argument for Node or Python? You can get a damn powerful VM for the same monthly cost as 1 developer day?
