I suspect it was 1 officer to stop £34m of payments and 14 officers reinstating payments of £17m stopped in error.

No doubt MHCLG will advise LPAs to treat these AI-generated objections specially in the way that e-petitions are considered as one objection by some LPAs. Will seem a bit hypocritical when AI-generated assessments by planning officers will start happening (a contract is currently being procured).

FYI, I think you have a typo in some screenshots - you're referring to account_a but that doesn't seem defined as a let block?

Interesting there's Google Street View images from 2008 along the whole length and that "Unsuitable for Motor Vehicles" doesn't appear until 2021. Done intentionally perhaps?

You do have a point though. Sometimes I'm annoyed enough to take a look and realise there is a problem - like this one I fixed recently where a sendBeacon request on the page closing was being fired after the fixtures had rolled back causing an exception

Fix locking errors when a petition is deleted by pixeltrix · Pull Request #1347 · alphagov/e-petitions

Some, like this one are just flake out every now and again so re-running them or deleting them are the only real options.

The PM's written statement is pretty unequivocal that DSIT are responsible technical design, build and delivery for digital ID and that the CO is responsible for policy, legislation and oversight.

Back when I joined Unboxed in 2014 there was a bug in the action_caching gem that I fixed for a colleague on another project and released a new version. When he thanked me, I said "no need, I got paid for this - if you'd asked me at the weekend I'd have done it for free" 😂

On further investigation it's clear that drains on driveways are connected to surface water drains just like the drain in this article. Therefore it seems likely that washing your car on the drive could also be subject to similar fines.

This is what I do on the train when I get a coffee - soak up any remaining liquid with a napkin. This is more a kindness to the cleaner so they don't get covered in coffee but works for this scenario as well.

Also James Mead saying that Terraform makes it independent of AWS is fundamentally misunderstanding Terraform - there's no attempt to abstract away the underlying service as providers are specific to AWS, Google, etc.

It was still CloudFoundry running on AWS though and underlying providers were basically things like managed RDS databases so there was some degree of lock-in - any portability would be days/weeks of work.

Different systems - the kitchen sink is what's called Foul Water Drainage whereas the road drains are Surface Water Drainage - the latter is meant to be for rainfall mainly.
