@popey SMD work (and especially rework) looks and feels brutal, but the packages have been designed to stand upto it. It surprising how many failures are related to power failures and simple passive components. Gamers Nexus's latest video on EVGA has some excellent SMD rework insanity in it.

@mattwilcox if you create an observer per element you wish to observe you get the pattern you describe.

Yet if the API woked the way you describe you could not apply the same logic to a collection of elements.

The bigger trip up I've hit with these APIs has been around the callback closure lifetimes and React crapiness.

@bigcalm Espresso Martini?

Rather good and interesting read about the real issues behind some of the UK railway issues:

@dick_turpin Very much so. TBH their PR has been pretty prickly for a long time.

They seem to think giving customers no information and no detail over the supply chain issues is a virtue, rather than exceptionally frustrating.

It's just a bit sad that they are needlessly harming the good work they do do, for the lack of listening.

@dick_turpin It was a little tone deaf for sure. But I think their response to the criticism and their further doubling down on it was the bigger error.

@bigcalm In general I'm not a fan of CSS frameworks which end up adding 300 classes to every element. Especially when you end up with things like: <table class="table"/>.

I've used http://getskeleton.com/ a couple of times and love it's simplicity.

@Raspberry_Pi A welcome update. I had an order with CPC, which they've bizarrely cancelled without communication after 14 months. Pretty much had to resort to just paying inflated prices for any hope of being able to try and complete my cluster server project.
