@Styo28183449 @john_p_looney @irldexter @RogerGalligan @andrewflood @HSELive @Swiftqueue Also, worth considering that many booking systems will hold the appointments it shows to a user, at least for a few seconds/minutes, you might consider not polling every appointment ;)

@Styo28183449 @john_p_looney @irldexter @RogerGalligan @andrewflood @HSELive @Swiftqueue The scale needed for this stuff is far (FARRR) below "cloud scale". And "cloud scale" doesn't mean broken & user hostile by design, the behavior of the website is absolutely broken, no matter many "cloud scale" design patterns it fails to implement properly..

@sebazzz91 @toms3dp @josefprusa No - the terms are essentially a contact. Saying "I will" in a contact binds you into doing it, including possible penalties if you don't do it, while saying "I may" gives you the freedom to decide case by case.

Today we didn't welcome "journalist" Gemma O'Doherty into our Drury St store. Little chance of Level 5 ending in six weeks with people like this around. @RAI_ie @RetailExIreland @LovinDublin @adriancummins @DrurySt #MaskUp

@IrishRail can you have your driver's open the doors rather than forcing everyone to touch the open button? .. can't believe that's not being done already.

@1GaryGannon Probably best to have that swapped out .. that serial number along the edge gives a little too much info away. Kinda like posting photos of your house keys on the internet. (In a well designed system, it shouldn't matter - but many RFID locks just care about the serial)

@cullophid @jessfraz @IanColdwater I think the issue is that there is a hardcoded default, not that there's a hint. IMO, on startup, you should generate and log a random admin PW. If that's too complicated for the target users, force an admin registration on first access. Hardcoded defaults are evil.

That's awesome! Have any other libraries around Dublin done this or similar? 👍

@DubCityCouncil just tried to pay for parking on Emmet Road, D8 (machine near approx #100). Machine took my money, and printed me a 10 or so ticket long report instead of a ticket. What am I supposed to do with that?

@Notuslimited @DublinAirport 3rd party catering companies used by the airlines aren't necessarily based in the airport itself and on their water supply...

@mneylon @talktoBOI @bankofireland I have to admit, I'm the first person to gloss over any permanent warnings.. I know, I shouldn't! But.. I suspect I'm not that unusual in this regard :) If there's an active issue going on, I'd expect active notification ASAP rather than about 30 hours later.

@talktoBOI @mneylon @bankofireland I've got to wonder why it took so long to send this out! I saw @mneylon's tweet earlier, and haven't got and wouldn't have fallen for that message, but I know many others will .. Obviously, no answer needed... Just food for thought ;)
