The UK government's blueprint for a third runway at Heathrow.

Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander launched a consultation on the renamed Heathrow expansion national policy statement (HENPS), setting out the conditions needed if the project is to be given the go-ahead.

Some excellent points raised in this article.

> Assuming everything is well behaved and you have a reasonable parser for PDF objects this is fairly simple. But you cannot assume everything is well behaved. That would be very foolish, foolish indeed. You're in PDF hell now. PDF isn't a specification, it's a social construct, it's a vibe. The more you struggle the deeper you sink. You live in the bog now, with the rest of us, far from the sight of God.

This put a smile on my face:)

Fascinating. This reminds me of the WWII novel All The Light We Cannot See where the young German soldier is tasked with locating illegal radio transmissions by placing receivers at different places and using trigonometry calculations to estimate the distance and direction of the source. Of course, the culprits would invariably be killed when found, leaving the boy with a deep sense of guilt.

I love the tip about using the python debugger "pdb". This reminds me of the similar Ansible debug feature (e.g. "debugger: on_failed") which let's you jump into an in-flight playbook.

Is this true?

New comment by jupin in "Teller – API for your bank account"

jupin — Wed, 21 Jun 2017 23:38:31 +0000

Banks aren't in the business of offering APIs because there's little incentive to do so. Even if there were a lack of talented technology-based employees, that likely wouldn't prevent APIs from being developed.

The issue of incentive boils down to the fact that business clients, being the main source of revenue for retail banks, simply aren't making enough noise about their desire for APIs.
