After using Parinfer for a few years the editing experience felt less like typing and more like a cross between magic and the scene from Ghost in the Shell with the split hands. It's a real shame they weren't able to add it to Calva.


While I do agree with this in almost all cases, I have found scenarios where there are actions that don't map easily to a HTTP verb and need something more explicit.

What I've generally done in these cases is pretty similar to https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/custom_methods which also explains the problem better than I can.

I'd be interested as to how you'd solve some of these problems without an explicit verb in the path.


I'm not a purist; for unusual edge cases, I'll put a verb (or something appropriate to the context) at the end of the path. But `create` isn't unusual, just POST to a collection.


If you go off this issue it looks like they use tinsel at Christmas, although I'm not sure where that logic is.

I'd be interested in taking a look to see if they use different bunting styles for different occasions, my thought process was that I could create some form of digital-bunting in my home to indicate various occasions.

As a(n) (English) Brit, I believe this could be quite an excellent indicator of whether I should be drinking Guiness, Tea, Whisky, Pimms, Champagne or Mulled Wine at any given time of the year. I suppose it should live in the Kitchen, near the kettle, or the wine cooler.


Anyone know what the story is behind the "Weird Emoji" around 140000 on the map?


The E0000-E007F block is the "Tags" block, which is used for flag emojis.

But there is not a code for each flag. Instead there is a code for each ASCII character. A flag sequence is formed from U+1F3F4 (Black Flag), followed by at least two tags that form a country/region code, and then U+E007F (End tag).

So, yes this is weird, because the emoji is dependent on the decoder. It was made this way to keep Unicode independent of geopolitics.

I'd love to know the rationale for why they geoblock the UK from watching this particular documentary.



They probably have bits of footage from British TV companies, who are fine licencing them to be shown abroad, but have either already sold an exclusive licence for UK broadcast or want to keep that option available to them.


The programme almost certainly includes content from a UK broadcaster that was licensed on the basis that it would only be used outside the UK.


Same here. The Dropbox link in the other comment was useful.

Makes you wonder if there’s a conspiracy to stop those of us in the UK watching it even though we know how awful it is at times.


This was great, selfishly I really wish we had an up to date comparison of HTTP clients like this but for Clojure.


I went looking for and found this one:

I do wonder if they're going to have to update it at some point though.


Sure, I don't know the details about Germany but I'm pretty sure it's the same in the UK. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/card-surcharge-ban-means-...


It's a shame, this seems like a really great idea, but I just tried to use it and for a recipe from a book I own it comes up with:

> We’ve helped you locate this recipe but for the full instructions you need to go to its original source.

Which I guess makes sense, how can they verify I own the cookbook, but still very disappointing.


The one in Manchester is still here, just under a different name: https://oppidan-social.com/

It's quite reasonably priced actually, and a bit more co-working focused than your average coffee shop.
