If this is happening to award winning match officials, it doesn't bode well for the ordinary fans.

I worry that its scope might be a bit wide.

From planning region-wide infrastructure (the thing I love about city builders/OpenTTD) right down to deciding how many wardrobes someone needs. How well can it do those things and everything inbetween?

But, I'll definitely be giving it a go. Thanks for posting the link.

I don't really like the div either (I use the design system all day, and maintain a set of components), but it makes documentation much easier.

All my computers have Noctua fans and I don't care in the slightest that they're the same colour as my parents' sofa in the 1980s.

I have a couple of their screwdrivers too. I'm with with brown.

You put the punctuation where it makes sense. If it belongs to the quote, it goes inside. If it belongs to the sentence, it goes outside.

I understand that Capture One aren't going to support old software for decades, and I'm fine with that.

I'm still happily using CO11 (8 or 9 years old?) and if it was good enough for professional use when it came out, it's more than enough for me now.

That's roughly when The Mayflower set off, and St Peter's Basilica was built. And it's still a working pub, open every day.

It now has discussions which are essentially a forum.

It's as much a social network/collaboration tool as it is place to store your code these days.
