Lots of over-the-top coverage right now about the £1m cap on inheritance tax agricultural property relief (APR). Quick thread:

From Severance. Mark Scout (Adam Scott) in a close-up shot, looking straight ahead against a blank white wall. The top of his black suit jacket and white button-down shirt are visible. He wears a miserable expression.

I think the Sprint format should be much more left-field, I don’t think a reverse grid is the solution. Give them different spec cars for each sprint - varying on location (NASCAR for COTA?). Doesn’t give away the pace for Sunday and would be really worth watching. #F1Sprint

Max Verstappen really isn't a fan of the sprint format 👀

Watched the first episode of the new Frasier with some trepidation and it’s actually alright - needs to settle down a bit but the supporting cast is good and there were some good lines in there.

Israel launching a full-blown ground war in Gaza will massively increase the already awful civilian death toll. I understand the desire to wipe out Hamas after last week’s wicked terror attacks, but how can killing so many innocent Palestinians in the process be justified?

More Teesworks on Page94 with excellent commentary from @rbrooks45 that touches on why this has happened on Teesside and the Gazette and Northern Echo get a thoroughly justified call out. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

I've lost count of how many times I've seen engineers build a complicated, woolly house of cards for "shared components", "component libraries", etc., all in the name of a standard look and feel, DRY, and it is almost always a total shit-show

the funniest microservice i ever had the pleasure to work with was the NavBarService in a suite of 3-5 web apps you had to make a separate http call to get the contents on the nav bar. when it was down or timed out, you lost the ability to click "Home"

The new @CodeWeavers Crossover 23.5 with D3DMetal is an amazing performance boost. Playing @EliteDangerous on an M1 Mac at high quality and at native resolution on my Studio Display (5k). More impressive remembering it’s being emulated as well.

I think that Continuous Integration, and the disciplines that it forces on us to achieve it, is probably the most profound idea in SW dev practice. So here's a #Thread to explain why I think that this is about much more than semantics or personal preference. 1/15

Season 2 of #Foundation on #AppleTV was *very* good. I liked the first season but at times I felt it was more for the cast & visuals than the story. This season retained the brilliant cast (with great additions) and production values while really improving the narrative.

Swapped from the iPhone 13 Pro Max to 15 Pro Max and the difference is larger than I expected. It is noticeably lighter, the Titanium feels great (the curved sides add a lot to that as well). The cameras are a significant step up too.
