Jumping on this to evangelise about some car ownership alternatives, as it can even be quite the cultural leap even for some Europeans to not own a car.

Firstly Denmark has some brilliant cycling infrastructure I would highly recommend sourcing a bike with a pannier rack to make small trips to the shops easier. If you enjoy it you can always go all in later with a cargo bike and there are many - even from local brands - to choose from (although I have an urban arrow I can also recommend a Bullitt (DK))!

For when you do need a car aside from all the big brands rentals there are also peer-2-peer rentals, eg in Finland I will use go more which is great here and while it looks like they also exist in Denmark your mileage may vary, but I have friends in Sweden who have used this there too.

In fact: 0! = 1

Op this is the guide you need! I’ll leave my link up as comparison in quality of the guide a knowledgable human produces vs that predicted by an ml model

ffmpeg is my go to for things like this but I can never remember the necessary incantation on the command line. Fortunately ChatGPT tends to get you most of the way there a lot of the time, I would normally asks something like the following and start from there:

How to convert a folder of png images into a gif using ffmpeg?

Last I checked ~18:00BST

Party     Seats    Votes       %
Lab        412   9,725,117   33.8
Con        121   6,824,610   23.7
Reform       5   4,103,727   14.3
Lib Dem     71   3,501,004   12.2
Green        4   1,941,220    6.8
Indep.       7     841,835    2.9
…

I am personally glad that the next government is not going to be stuffed full with bigoted nationalists from Reform. I can’t help but marvel though at how wonky the system of voting is that let the Lib Dem’s get an order of magnitude more seats than Reform with 600k fewer votes. Reform got just under half Labour’s vote share and only slightly over 1% of their seats.

It’s a the right shift assignment operator so x >>= 4 right shifts x by 4 and assigns the result back to x. The code editor is displaying single double wide symbol (ligature) instead of the three character long operator >>=, I discovered today these are in fact well loved by some coders.

That’s neat, so TIL ligature in code do actually have a strong following

LGTM. Though do people really code with ligatures turned on?

Edit: Ok so there are some big advocates of ligatures, I’m going to have to give them a second chance. I’ll try for a week, and either way that Fira Code font looks great.

Maybe it’s that this is a better a metaphor for the destruction of the common cultural heritage of the environment? Not many people can relate to or are inconvenienced by a very expensive private boat sinking.

One great use I have found for ChatGPT and family is helping me divine command line one-liners for standard shell programs. Generating commands for tools like ffmpeg are also reasonably successful and saves a lot of time digging through man files

The OU has always had strong distance learning teaching, I have a family member who pivoted to a new career thanks largely to getting a degree with the OU. Also completing a degree through a remote program from and provider is a great indicator of your resolve and tenacity and can easily be a great selling point to future jobs etc.
