I DON'T have a book or a podcast I'm trying to promote. And I won't be appearing on telly any time soon. (Those are all hostages to fortune I'm happy to have.) But I'd get loads of upvotes if I posted these comments BTL on the Graun.

Try again: This is an interesting dive into V8's internals - principally javascript strings. I knew some of it, but not all. (And I didn't know how to use debug intrinsics from node...😈)

#Trump #Macron A 4yo and 5yo are playing. The 5yo guesses what the 4yo plans. The 4yo responds, "No! You're wrong! You're always wrong! It's much bigger than that!" and precedes to amp up their scheme and how brilliant it will be. 👇

Weird maths thought for the day: The decimal representation of numbers is a double cover of the rationals but only a single cover of the irrationals. (i.e. it's ℚ∪ℝ). (This is the 0.9999... = 1 argument but pointing out every finite string of digits has an equivalent dual.)

Starmer's cosplaying the hard man over disability benefit cuts again. He never confronts the rich and powerful. He's always the big tough guy when punching down.

I would like to apologise for the labels on "decorate your own cake" cakes warning you the cake DOES NOT INCLUDE DECORATIONS. It's my mum's fault. She bought one thinking it would include all the decorations she needed and all she'd have to do is get them out the box and put them on the cake. 🤣

When did they start naming nuclear power plants after bra cup sizes? And how long do we have to wait till we get Hinkley Point DD?

Imagine being so rich you can lose $33bn and just shrug. For comparison, that would fill Rachel's £22bn black hole (the one that caused the whole Winter Fuel Payment farrago) with enough change left over to lift the two child benefit cap for one year.
