Which is fair as is not expecting everyone to be able to deliver a barnstorming talk. At least not without training.

I'd also flag that the audio is not good which isn't your fault. The trend towards conferences just pointing a camera at a lectern and throwing the footage on YouTube is unfortunate especially when it replaces circulating the slides as opposed to augmenting them. As a form of archive for attendees to review it works but not as a distribution channel.


Point of order. They were cancelled.

There was a surge in viewership as they tried to tie up the story prompting the renewal of the show. But way too late. That they were able to pull off season 5 with the scraps and missing major cast members is kind of impressive. Perhaps indicative of what it would have been like had it been produced piecemeal


Also, credit where credit is due that Babylon 5 is almost exclusive in that era in terms of almost every episode having at least something that contributes to the main plot.

So much so that Star Trek had to pivot TNG and DS9 from problem of the week formulaic writing to something similar.


The removal of EU legislation from British law and the UK-US trade deal. With the US demanding it's healthcare and pharma unfettered access to the NHS on terms equivalent to current US not UK standards. The UK is not, technically, slapping a FOR SALE sign on the NHS they've just put themselves in a position where pretty much anyone and everyone can demand a slice. Of course this assumes that the current gonverment doesn't view the NHS as an asset to be strip mined which I'm damn sure they do.


> With the US demanding it's healthcare and pharma unfettered access to the NHS on terms equivalent to current US not UK standards.

They already have that. Read the Lansley reforms. They mostly don't take it up because they can't afford to run healthcare for the pittance paid by UK government, but there are large bits of the NHS run by non-NHS providers. See for example Priory Group or Cygnet Health Care.


> which I'm damn sure they do.

They specifically do not. You consuming twitter bubble fake news doesn't make something true


No, it's not centrally collected. There is a national eHealth system, MyHealthRecord, but it's opt in for patients, supplementary to your provider's records, and various pieces of privacy legislation at the state and national level make handing out this data, at best, legally fraught.

Speaking from experience. Getting data out of a hospital is phenomenally hard even when the hospital is wants to provide it. Patient confidentiality is a thing they all take very seriously.


Yeah, its the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive. For any item covered by it made after 2005 it's the producer or distributor's responsibility to recycle it.


WRT [1]. Mitsubishi’s Diamondtron was the other one. Pretty much the only way to get a flat fronted CTR at the time.


Those were excellent and I know we used them at one point. I want to say the brand we settled on in the final years of the business was a Nokia 17" that used a -tron variant. I'm not positive[0]. I had one of those from the mid-90s until around 2010 as a second screen. The color quality on this display spoiled me. I could never find a flat panel that produced such deep blacks and bright whites. When you'd drag a photo from the CRT to any of the flat-panels, it looked like you applied a filter to mute all of the colors a bit. It was completely functional when I recycled it and I'd never had an issue with the thing in the 12-15 years or so that I owned it.

[0] I tried to find the model with a quick Google Image search, and this looks familiar: https://www.recycledgoods.com/nokia-17-crt-monitor-svga-mode...


When you hybridise like that it’s up to you to highlight the benefits. As you point out it’s much easier to do that with closely related fields. You need to have an idea of what the one field brings to the other. If you don’t know and can’t articulate that how is the hiring manager supposed to?


The initial container is a contrived worst case example. Not necessarily a bad idea when you want to make a point but most of the gains are from not doing things you’re told not to do on page 2 of the docker tutorial.

Also, while vanilla Dockerfiles do need to carefully clean up after themselves BuildKit offers you a friendlier way of handling this with ‘--mount=type=cache’ on the appropriate directories


So I unlock the phone and hold it in front of an officer? At which point the office relieves me of my phone and takes it as evidence.


It's been spun out into it's own project here: https://github.com/localstack/localstack or https://localstack.cloud/

edit: Extra URL


I wonder how that got spun out commercial - is it still part of Atlassian?
