This is a repeat url, but ever more helpful to remind us UK does not 'depend' on natural gas, albeit wholesale prices are apparently still set by the price of it

The UK depends on natural gas as most people get heating and hot water at home from gas boilers.

As I type this comment your link also shows that 30% of electricity right now is being generated from gas turbines. So that's a hard dependency for electricity, too.

Lastly, as you mention gas prices also set the price of electricity so a spike in gas prices impacts everyone [1]

ok fair enough. i dont live in the uk, and when i'm there, I am in a 100% elec house. I forget the dependency of households on a direct gas connection.

Nice games music library, thanks! http://128.237.157.9/pub/HVSC/C64Music/GAMES/A-F/

thanks, usually the submit catches same URLs, not so this time, but hey I think this an evergreen dev article


+ 1. I just came across it a few months ago after getting fed up with Postman's unintuitive ever-changing UI, etc. So far so good. Easy to store bruno files in a repo to have a nice easy place to go to get test calls


Definitely. I've watched a company move its entire health care plan to a startup, buddy of the CEO, to help juice said startup's customer base for investors. When the company were invited to a call to learn how their health plans had changed compared to the old provider (but after the contract was signed) - the startup 'would need more time to figure that out' .. you can imagine the deafening silence on that well-attended zoom call.


Very fun. I have a similar check list for thieves for my '75 land rover series 3. I tried to have a friend 'steal' it out of my garage once - it didn't go very well.


Handy that while connected via ExpressVPN, this is blocked


what server are you connected to? Switzerland works just fine for me


it was one of the UK servers


Trust suggestion: make it easier to find photos of the founders, than the investors.


Good suggestion, our company page is updated to include the founders


Wait ... where are the founders?


Here, I guess: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/flightcontrol

It is very strange to have headshots of individual investors on the page that would normally have pictures of your team.


We did an episode with Joran on SEDaily which addresses some of the points raised in the discussions
