    For anyone having a bad day so far, I got up early, went to the paint shop, got 5l paint, drive home, opened boot, paint falls out all over the street. Spent 2 hours trying to clean the street of paint 😬😬😬😬

    Mobike is ending its bike rental service in Manchester, the only city out of 200 in the world it's had to withdraw from. It's lost 10% of its fleet each month to theft and vandalism in Manchester.The Chinese firm says it'll consider a different system of bike-sharing in the city

    I’m hoping to avoid this kind of pain and jump straight to web assembly or whatever replaces it. What on earth happened eh?!

    I'm four hours into trying to switch to a popular javascript asset bundler with its attendant "transpiler" etc., and I have *never* seen this many things failing in this many ways. It's absolute pandemonium. A whole new type of failure every minute.

    I’m finding myself shifting to this way of coding, after a few years of remote working 👍👍

    Currently doing very focused 1-2 hours stretches of writing code. Here are some things that i find very helpful: * Taking breaks serious * Water * Sleep * Doing distracting work in between sessions * Only begin a session when really ready * Clearly planning out the next session

    So because of this Apple "refinement", everything looks shite on my Dell ultrawide monitor now, in MacOS mojave... Erm...

    Apple killed off subpixel antialiasing in 10.14 and called it a “refinement”. Not sure they know what that word means.
