The applicant on this has some nerve - they ripped up all the hedgerows and trees then try to pass it off as a 10% biodiversity net gain with a bit of lawn and some fruit trees because the site is vacant. planandregulatory.coventry.gov.uk/planning/ind...

Tried Deepseek for codegen by getting it to write a pure Ruby function that converts OS National Grid co-ordinates to WGS84 latitude/longitude. At first glance it seemed to make good effort but the code didn't run and was missing important steps from the algorithm 😬 gist.github.com/pixeltrix/9f...

Why is celebrity diaries are always "5.30am: make first coffee of the day" and never "5.30am: clean the shit out of the litter tray" like my day is? Do they not have pets?

Picked up new car after old one written off. Discover one tyre is losing pressure so take car to garage. On the way a stone cracks the windscreen which will cost £164 to fix. Now got a call they can’t find a problem with the tyre but it’s still losing pressure. 😭
