I'd missed the announcement for this. Debugging constexpr for your C++ code! That's pretty nifty. Works in Rider too, for all you Unreal Engine developers

YouTube's algorithm recommended me James Hoffman videos. He's an expert in the classic British way being both hugely knowledgeable and mildly quirky. I'm not a big coffee drinker though, so my main takeaway has been to incorporate pour over techniques into making Pot Noodles.

Curious of WDYT.

I have more plans for it, like search Rider installations.

Get over to Reddit and post the issues you need fixed! Upvote the other comments. While we’ve had some great responses, I was expecting more feedback. You’ve got until the end of Wednesday!

What should Rider 2026.1 fix? I'm asking for a bit of community upvoting to know what issues you're most eager to get in to Rider 2026.1, which we're in the process of planning. How else were you planning on spending a wet Friday afternoon?

Well Apple photos is very smart. A little too smart. It recognises that this is a gig photo, and knows it’s at the O2 Institute and can therefore work out who this is! Sadly, it thinks it’s the O2 Institute 3, and so thinks this is Amanda McCoy. Close, but no cigar (this is Pop Will Eat Itself)

A photo of Pop Will Eat Itself playing at the O2 Institute in Birmingham. Apple Photos has labelled it as an Amanda McCoy concert

Clicking the Amanda McCoy concert link opens a page with photo of Ms McCoy, date, venue, top songs, other dates and so on

Full marks to the BBC weather site for correctly showing the repetition of 1am in the UK this weekend. (Hopefully most other weather sites get this right too...)
