I really don't think regulating espionage between member states is within the scope of the EU's objectives. Presumably, the Belgian government could make a complaint to the British government through the usual diplomatic channels.

To be fair, I don't think I have ever seen the escape sequence syntax being used for string interpolation before Swift.

That being said, some people appear to be better at recognising their (or other people's) past mistakes and learn from them than others. Some people just never learn.

Except there are plenty of other sources that clearly show that William Wilberforce did, in fact, support the complete abolition of slavery in the British empire.

There is no such restriction in place. Your company will need to have a UK address as registered address. Anyone can be a company director as long as they're over 16, not disqualified from being a company director and not undischarged

Money is not wealth. It's a (very efficient) mechanism for exchanging wealth. "Where did all the wealth go?" would be a better question to ask. The answer is that nothing in life has inherent value, only perceived. If the per

An argument to make that it should be the "young and ambitious Indian/Nigerian/Chinese/Russian" choice whether they want to leave their country or not. It's up to America to decide whether they're welcome

Yes, but I would assume that Apple uses clang internally?

Fair enough. That being said, -Wunreachable-code would have caught that.

People keep saying that, but do bugs like that really happen? In my entire career as a professional software developer I've never seen it happening. Not once.

What you said is only true for B2B services. Normally, you would have to charge UK VAT for B2C services supplied to EU consumers: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-notice-741a-p...

I mean, for B2B services the place of supply was already the place where the customer belongs so your employer already reverse charges the VAT which means that VAT is reclaimed at the same time it's charged, effectively cancelling itse

Actually, the reason Apple sponsored Clang/LLVM is because Apple engineers were unhappy with GCC's build times[1]. If you need to rebuild an entire operating system (kernel and userland) every day, your C compiler's build per

That being said, if your relational database has 1GB records, you really need to reevaluate whether you are using the right tool for the job.

I was under the impression that modern kernels and memory allocators are clever enough to not initialise memory pages that have been allocated but not used yet, is that not the case? So unless you calloc() or memset() your newly allocated m

Sadly, that's not how cognitive dissonance works. When people receive new information that conflicts with their existing beliefs they very rarely update their beliefs. Instead, they tend to either question the credibility of the new in

Surely you did not disregard all the warnings on the download website and the installer itself and installed it on the main partition of your primary work computer?

Are you kidding? Articles like this are my favourite posts on HN. I would love to see more technical content like this and less softcore chit-chat.

They had the data. VMS indicated the navigational hazard but they have ignored it. It was a combination of insufficient training and poor chart review procedures.

I think it's a misunderstanding, it only has to "constitute an expression of humour or mockery". It seems to me that this means that it doesn't have to be actually funny as long as it was genuinely intended to be funny.

For me, writing procedural OO code in F# always felt awkward and inconvenient. This is a problem because most of the .NET runtime was designed with procedural OO code in mind.

I don't much care about your feelings, nor was I commenting on them. But that's exactly the problem, bro! It's a good thing to care about other people's feelings.
