It isn't just the UK. The USA started with the ESTA thing, previously I'd just fill in the "visa-waiver" form on the flight. Then (I guess in response) the EU (while the UK was still a member) agreed to the ETIAS scheme.

As I understand it, legally even the simple stamp in a passport counts as a "visa", even when one does not have to apply (and pay) for a visa ahead of time. Hence all of these various "visa waiver" schemes have been mis-

Murder is not illegal under English Common Law, it is unlawful. So have US states actually passed statutes against murder, as opposed to simply setting the penalties for it?

I though the point of the Irish passport card was that it is a passport (not a national ID card), but that the only place where it is needed / accepted is in other EU MS (due to format, and lack of ability to be stamped)? Note - the E

Not exactly the 8086, but how about the 80286 bits apart from the Execution Unit? If one ignores the extra instructions, one gets the impression that most of the differences will be in the BIU, and some in the address adder block added to t

From the 2011 census, around 30% of Scots are fluent in a second language. https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/census-results/at-a-glanc... (We don't yet have the results for the 2022 census)

How did they remove / destroy the T-cell killing T-cells before the the 2nd marrow transplant? Otherwise, it would seem they (the engineered T-cells) would hang around, and destroy the T-cells created by the marrow transplant.

What they describe sounds a lot like a distributed static RSIP scheme. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realm-Specific_IP With port ranges rather than being 'leased', being allocated on the the basis of per serv

We already did that a while ago. Apart from pints in the pub, and road distances. Everything else is metric.

Note that it is a "single currency", not a "common currency". In the same way that the "single market" is different from the prior "common market". So if the UK had joined at the inception, it would

"You can accept a struct where an interface is a parameter but you cannot return a struct where an interface is the return type." Possibly I'm misunderstanding the complaint, but that is because an interface is a fat pointer,

Brexit can not be "reversed", any politician claiming such is lying. The most that can happen is that we apply to rejoin, but as a new applicant, we'd have to accept the full set of stuff, with no opt outs. That even assumes

The characterisation was against Go 1.15 as that is what is current in the version of Debian we're using (11?). So other than noting that Go 1.18 adds Generics but they can be ignored due to us targeting 1.15, they weren't mention

Yeah - I skipped the type inclusion, as I just viewed it as a misfeature, assuming we're talking about the implicit casts between different number types. As to ':=' in Go, yeah - a new thing over Oberon-2. Since assignment in

As I described it to some folks recently, Go can be simply characterised as a slightly stripped version of the Oberon-2 (or Component Pascal) language, recast in a C like syntax, and with a number of small additions. Removed from Oberon-2:

Well, not too many errors in that article. The section of "Going Multiuser" is a bit confused. After referring to CDOS-286 (aka FlexOS-286) it says: "DR adapted this to create Concurrent DOS-386 Concurrent DOS-386, [...] :

My understanding of that paper is that it does not dispute the feedback effects, but rather seeks to quantify them, specifically the climate sensitivity for CO2, CH4 and N2O. > And as for the paper you cited... looks like it was written

Concurrent DOS (CDOS) did not develop in to FlexOS. That confusion comes from the original naming it had, CDOS 286. FlexOS was a new development mainly in C, vs the assembly based Concurrent DOS. This is all obvious from reading the progra
