"Near Wild Heaven", which also happens to be my favourite R.E.M. song.
And a Pi mouse at that, by the looks of things.
Just a heads-up - the Astro landing page and Blog don't appear to mention v5.18 anywhere.
Just that they give you an option for the button/joystick placement when you order is enough for me to love this thing. It does look very sleek too. Tempted.
I'm releasing over 50 deep dives into The Sentinel, Geoff Crammond's epic #BBCMicro game.
Batch #1 is now ready: 6 new articles about memory maps, program flow and interrupts, all at thesentinel.bbcelite.com/deep_dives
Batch #2 (maths!) coming soon.
Enjoy!

I'd say this is about the only platform where there's a fair chance it could work.
That said, purely based on those I engage with around here (although I'm not so naive as to think it applies any more generally) a simple "Oops! Looks like you forgot the Alt text for your image" would be enough.
It should just prevent posting them in the first place.
Happy birthday, Chloe!

I didn't even read the words, as the image alone triggered all the necessary neurons in my 50-something brain.
This will be a return visit, taking our little'un back to Miniatur Wunderland, which completely blew us away last time, and definitely needs a second visit.
That seems to work for cats, so I'm sure we'll be fine.
Oh noes! I hope we don't end up in the wrong Hamburg next week.
Yeah, I know about Static Assets, but they're tied to a manifest at deploy-time, and can't easily be changed without redeploying; and general (as opposed to Workers) paid plans offer custom error pages, but this should be a per public bucket feature of R2, not something defined at an account level.
Hey @mk.gg, think you could talk your new employers into adding a fallback (redirect on 404) for public buckets in R2?
It's something that the other cloud providers offer, and it would enable a couple of heavily cost optimised architectures that I plan to write presentations and blog about shortly.

I always marvel at the view from a plane window, and will never take it for granted.
Humans were never meant to see the world from up there, and it's something we're only able to do because of the curiosity, ingenuity, and persistence of our species.
It's natural to want to defend what you've done, correct misunderstandings, and to try and see things from the perspective of others; but some people are just assholes, and every second spent engaging with them is a second wasted, and a second earlier that you'll wish you'd blocked them.
This makes me very happy indeed.
It'll go towards the operating cost, the same as our donations do.
Absolutely.
Alas, in this case, these decent and honourable people, acting based on their principals and leaving, just allows the current administration to fill those vacancies with staff who will do as they're told, making the DOJ a more useful tool to facilitate corruption, and do the president's bidding.
First heard this track on the 1982 arcade game Super Locomotive, and of course then went off to find out more about it, and YMO.
The first proper AAA game I played to completion was Far Cry 5, on Stadia, and shit, I was so drawn into that world, I definitely felt a bit lost and unsure what to with myself for a week.
I've enjoyed, and completed many games since, including the other Far Cry games, but none were so affecting.

CMAT's pretty new, but the rest are albums I've listened to regularly since they were released many years ago, and don't think I'll ever grow tired of.

Humans have a reasonable chance of identifying that a particular solution is out of date, but of course the entire contents of Stack Overflow were slurped up during training of the first wave of LLMs, which will have greatly contributed to the poor quality of technical suggestions they came up with.
For years Stack Overflow has been a body of knowledge just getting more and more out of date.
This was always going to happen.
The concept of "accepted answers" is flawed without the requirement to tie those answers to specific versions of software/libraries/languages, so many are no longer valid.
What word would you use?
It's low usage households that the Standing Charge is primarily aimed at, as high usage households generate sufficient income for the utility companies, but the cost of connection and infrastructure maintenance etc. for domestic properties is going to be very similar no matter how much they consume.
