Entry level laptop comparison for coding

[northernladuk]

Two lawyers walk into a pub. They order a couple of drinks and take their sandwiches out of their briefcases and then they begin to eat them.

Seeing this, the angry publican exclaims, “Excuse me, but you can’t eat your own sandwiches in here!”

The two lawyers look at...

test... just trying to get last post on every catagory. Very childish so sorry not sorry.

Must admit I wouldn't go as far as that and certainly wouldn't delete it but certainly lost faith in it years ago. Nothing that's going on on there is new either, maybe just the frequency of it, but the reams of irrelevant or willy waving posts turned me off a long time ago. People also talk about it...

Need a bit of help on laptop speeds please.

The laddo is doing an MA in Robotics which requires some level of coding. He has a four year old Aspire 3 i3 laptop which I seem to think was an entry level jobbie back in the day. He says its slow in general which I'd expect being four years...

Ahhh that's interesting. Didn't realise that. Good news though.

And also interesting. I thought it was just a straight case of the agent getting commission for clients placed and smaller outfits just didn't have the margins to be able to afford it....

So isn't that PSR the same as Alexander Mann AMS? So you are on the AMS PSL now?...

[northernladuk]

He already pointed that out to me and you know it!!...

Oh... PSR Solutions 'An industry-leading construction recruitment agency' Buggery bollocks... Sorry. That's what happens when the forum idiot jumps on your thread

If Lucy is leaving her marketing to us she might have made a grave error....

[northernladuk]

Ugh that's even more unfortunate. PSR used to offer a different list than the usual candidates. Just had a look and not sure how up to date it is but they mention a number of brollies on this page.

Generally what NAT said.

The latest update from the IPOC on this case is here.

The key paragraphs that is most likely to be contributing to the delay is



So there is an investigation in to...

Clarity have won the ContractorUK Awards for best Umbrella under 500 clients three years running. Most recently was last Wednesday. Lucy has done a lot of work for us and gives a lot of good advice in all areas of brollies. I've been with Lucy at Contractor Umbrella many years ago and more recently...

Yep, IMO that's usually the case for small companies. They want temp employees as the generally aren't big enough to have an employee per role so it's all hands to the pump to do what's needed. I'm always sceptical of outside gigs and small clients. It can happen but more often than not it's exactly...

[northernladuk]

p.s. you fawning lickspittle. (because it's in General and I can)

[northernladuk]

So if it's been drawn up by an IR35 company it's likely just a process to follow rather than what the business wants but sounds like it's worked so far. Now you've come to the end and ad-hoc work is starting playing at SoW's isn't working very well. I'd take a guess the client just wants a dev to complete...

[northernladuk]

Not so cute when they are chewing through the wires mid flight though!!...

[northernladuk]

Not sure this is the place to be calling anyone for being 'creative' on their CV's

Unfortunately Greene King are going to fold at the sniff of trouble for a couple of reasons.

Foremost is they are on the backfoot as their founder made his money from plantations and slavery around 1799 and the group publicly apologised for this in 2020.
So when someone then complained...

[northernladuk]

The matrix one isn't on your link?...

[northernladuk]

I'd concur with the above and would be going umbrella as well. It's likely if you chose umbrella the agent (assuming there is one) will offer you the standard list of the big providers, Parasol, Giant, Paysteam etc... if they are flexible enough to let you nominate your own then your best bet is Clarity...
