@alvinashcraft That is very cool. That is very cool indeed.

@RichardJMurphy This is all they have left. The economy is in tatters. Services have been run ragged after over a decade of neglect. All the Tories have left is an attempt to portray anyone who they see as "different" as a legitimate target to direct hatred towards.

The next round of attack from the fascists has been opened by Braverman. This is the state of the UK in 2023. https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/04/03/the-next-round-of-attack-from-the-fascists-has-been-opened-by-braverman-this-is-the-state-of-the-uk-in-2023/.
The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...

@shantini I'm sitting here, with the popcorn ready, for someone to start explaining what mansplaining is. We all know it's coming.

The #NHS is often picked on by politicos here in the UK. Here's my tale of dialling 111.

Couple of nights I've had pain in my mouth; I sometimes get neuralgia so I thought it was that.

It wasn't.

I'm out of bed at midnight, painkillers just aren't working. About 2AM, I rang 111 to see about an emergency dental appointment. 2 minutes to speak to an operator, then a call back from a dental specialist nurse 20 minutes later. They think it's an abscess (spoiler alert, it wasn't). Book me in for an emergency appointment at 10.30 this morning.

Visited the dentist, had an x-ray and he informs me that the tooth has cracked under the gumline so it can't be repaired. 40 minutes later, I'm in the car back home having had the tooth removed.

This is just the latest example of exemplary service I've had with the #NHS. Always there for you, and almost always amazing. Do the world a favour, and be nice to your local #NHS team. They're there when we need it, and they don't break the bank.

@ladeak It depends what you mean by fulfil here. It's possible to use just the models from an OpenAPI contract, and to completely ignore the entirety of the underlying contract - some teams think this is fulfilling the contract (I don't).

If this is a contract that you own, the easiest way to ensure you fulfil the contract is to Swagger gen the API. That gives you conformant code by default. You can use SwaggerHub or the open source swagger gen to do this (SH uses the swagger gen under the covers).

Hearing that Jeff Beck has died felt like an absolute gut punch. It is impossible to overstate his genius and consummate musicianship. He was the guitarist's guitarist, and it is fair to say that his sound was unique. No one else sounded like Beck; his control of whammy, volume, and tone alone gave him a distinctive sound that no one has been able to match. RIP Jeff.

@RichardJMurphy Interesting article. While being nurse-centric, it does address the fallacies behind the approach that the government takes in what it laughingly refers to as negotiations. They'll pay a train company to mitigate lost revenue from strikes, but they won't award the pay rises that would remove the strikes.

@jesseliberty I also recommend ProWritingAid. SudoWrite is extremely useful too.
