There have been so many announcements that a release candidate of a release will be coming out /soon/. It's utterly pointless non-news.

Please can this drivel be banished.

Wait until 3.0.0 is actually released and then post it for discussion.

Their delivery range is quite limited.

Nah, unfortunately it's been fed stack overflow. So instead of having a wealth of alternative solutions to a problem it just tells you your question is a duplicate and refuses to help.

I've found that just asking "did you make that up again?" after every response improves the quality of code Chat GPT produces. It seems to pick up fairly quickly on methods it just invented.

You're probably out of luck. I've been trying to avoid amazon for two years but all the other options suck. I'm constantly chasing missing orders and returning items because they're just not as described.

Amazon revolutionised the customer experience and apparently nobody else has even bothered to try and mirror their formula.

I've had the polar opposite experience. The last few series haven't been great. I don't think I even finished the last two. But this cast have brought it back to life.

Andy Zaltzman's ridiculous humour is such a good for for the show. In another life I think he would have made a superb taskmaster's assistant.

Rosie Jones has been a real surprise. Her humour doesn't usually work well on panel shows but Taskmaster seems to have the right pace for it and her wit really shines.

They give incremental discounts each time you renew so even if the price increases you'll probably find you're spending less each time.

Jetbrains licenses are like £100 a year. What commercial project isn't able to cover that cost.

Indeed. Most of my skills are self taught but I suspect that's because no one ever taught in a manner that suited me.

I need visual and/or practical learning. Somebody talking at me just doesn't work. I lose interest or don't absorb the material. Slides or scribbles on a whiteboard help a bit but teachers and professors are severely lacking in visual communication. They certainly aren't going to create graphics and animations like this video which clearly and concisely express the concept.

I'm sure every generation says this but...

Kids these days are so lucky. They have access to so many incredible learning resources. If your teacher sucks or expresses concepts in a manner that doesn't work for you then all you have to do is check YouTube for an animated lesson that breaks it down at a pace you're comfortable with. Or just speed it up/slow it down/skip back and forth to suit.

It's just the natural evolution of language. Rules become loser over time
