Time tracking without tools is a real bummer.
I really hate it because i want to create software without distractions.
We're using Deskzilla for tracking the time we spend on diffent tasks.
This allows me to track my time with a single mouse click: screenshot Deskzilla
It's possible to change the recorded timespans later (sometimes i forget to switch the tracker).
With a one-click-tool like this it's ok for me to log my time, but by hand is a no-go for me.

This is a good series of video on the workings of a Mark 1 Fire Control Computer[^].
It is impressive on different level on how they were able to create something that was workable and had (I assume) a good success ratio.
It gives a new meaning the "Screw that" expression!!!
I'd rather be phishing!

I'm glad I program with a keyboard - coding that with a file and a big hammer would be...um...entertaining...

Cool! We had a slightly newer model in college, built with vacuum tube operational amplifiers and programmed using potentiometers and jumper wires. I don't know that they ever got that thing to work, because the hundreds (or possibly thousands) of vacuum tubes failed so often that there was never a time when all amplifiers were working.
We did have to program the latest and greatest solid state models, using transistor-based operational amplifiers configured as integrators (capacitive feedback) or differentiators (capacitive feedforward), along with adders (summing junctions) and potentiometers for scaling stages of the equation solutions. Like the vacuum tube models, mathematical functions were interconnected with jumper wires. Being a true analog solution there was no quantization error, and accuracy far greater than anything digital could achieve was possible. Great fun, but tedious!

I always had a soft spot for analogue computers. I remember seeing a very impressive demo of a helicopter flight simulation back in the 1970s.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

Its ablaze apparently. Pier fires are quite common at least in the UK, why with all that water around don't they add a few high pressure/high flow pumps that can be switched on to extinguish such fires?

A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

To be fair, Eastbourne isn't what it used to be - they really don't need a pier just to sell kiss-me-quick hats and candy floss.

Beautiful
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

They do, in fact, falsely advertise. I had been using it several months ago to begin monitoring my score (very poor) as I paid off the few bad debts I had. Credit Karma reported a TransUnion score that I thought was about right. Well, come to find out, my true TransUnion score was actually about 40 points LOWER.
Credit bureaus use a proprietary formula to calculate the score. Credit Karma simply "guesses" the formula, so you never see your true score. It can be higher or lower, and by A LOT -- not just a little.
I found out when a financial adviser pulled all three of my major bureau reports (the paid kind) from the bureaus themselves. When I saw the difference in scores, I asked him, and he told me about the "guessing" formula.
What a shame that people actually believe Credit Karma is a good tool. Haha.

Not very sure, if it would be scam under Google's ownership. But yes agree most of the credit score websites are into scam.
Change is a pattern of life.

But they don't give you your "score" for free. Not anymore, anyway.
You just get a zillion pages of credit history, which is nice for checking to be sure no one is screwing you over.
