   And, of course, they're not stopping. In Liz Truss' first PMQs yesterday one of the questions was on pushing for a return of the online safety bill for further "regulation" of the internet, which Truss said is going to c

   Once upon a time it used to work for Youtube, but break the adverts. Halcyon days.

   Is that the purpose of the regulation, or a side effect that some happen to be content with? I'd have thought there would be better tools for the purpose of limiting throughput.

   I guess every piece of knowledge could be considered memory. But I can see a difference between memorising the stripes on street furniture or which countries streetview has visited for the sake of playing such games and just knowing which d

   I think it does logically - in any countries where you have more direct democracy than the EU flavour, certainly easily achievable in respect of the Commission. Whether that has any practical difference given the nature of politicians and p

   And now it's a mystery behind a paywall.

   Did anyone get it working on MacOS? I couldn't find the audio library in homebrew and gave up.

   Thanks, I've tried emailing them. Quite a few NHS inboxes seem to be black holes.

   Thanks, appreciate it, I'll read through these. I'm pretty convinced this would happen eventually anyway, but then again, it hasn't yet. More than happy for you to pass this on to anyone, and for anyone to come back to me - I

    Yeah, I was working on a Radiology Information System under NPfIT. We ended up putting in configuration options for everything we were asked to change, despite being explicitly told not to make it configurable and ended up just changing fla

    Thanks. Sales isn't naturally my thing. I'm sure you're absolutely right though, I'll try him. I'm trying Cancer Research UK too, though their policy team's email address on the website bounces as it's for

    Technically, I'm sure the answer is yes. Access to those systems is a difficulty for an outsider like me.

    I think they do (at least in England). I've just been ineffective at convincing them of that.

    Thanks. I was expecting a less UK familiar audience, I've over simplified the problem semi-deliberately, largely to avoid falling into discussing the general mess that is NHS IT. :) My first job probably 20 years ago now was on a Radio

    Most people who voted, voted Tory and Brexit, they're majority positions. Neither of which are to do with being anti-foreigner.

    I'm conflicted on this type of problem. The bit I particularly struggle with is the alternative - if we don't go there and attempt to break down the barriers with ordinary people, what hope is there for the country? Just sit tight

    I tend to ask the opposite question more often. Do you really need Postgres?

    Totally agree, wasn't slating the idea at all, simplicity wins out nearly every time for me. It is an argument I've lost with managers more times than I've won though.

    I don't think you would in prod, unless you were happy with it all running on one host. Shame really, I find compose simple and neat and k8s+terraform an unsettling mess.

    I don't even think the Police should have access. If it's that serious, have them ask an intelligence agency to investigate and report - as they do anyway today. They don't need direct access. But yes, crazy that the Food Sta

    It's just big company talk to pretend they're cool and innovative. Obviously ridiculous garbage that probably got someone a good annual review score. A small company I was working with had heard that IBM, who had a customer in com

    There's a quite a difference between a contract signed by a company who could walk away without the money and imposed law that restricts trade!

    Certainly one Belgian lawyer has already stated that he thinks the EU Commission don't have a leg to stand on here. Not that I expect that to slow them down. https://twitter.com/JeremyC64/status/13551561817534

    Liability is the first point, but it's swiftly followed by what are they going to do next and how do we defend against it. This is a whole other ball game if it's malice/incompetence.
