The government in power has little to do with the Act, it was passed two years ago by a different party that is now refusing to own the mess that they created. Sure, one can say that the government could be more diligent at repealing bad la

It's a misleading quote from a misleading article. It's remarkable how the article never mentions that the Act was passed by the Tories, blaming "civil servants" for it. The author did frame the Act very differently back

It's not even internally consistent, although propaganda rarely needs to be consistent. The UK government is somehow both entirely powerless (can't do anything about crime at all), and exceptionally powerful (tightly policing the

Three links are hardly a "wall". Funny how the severity of the rhetoric is so often coupled with the weakest of copouts when pressed.

That chart is almost useless because it doesn't break down by settlement/non-settlement visa types. Study visas do not have a pathway to settlement. Students paying through the nose for the privilege of staying for a few years to

This government didn't even bring this law up, it was enacted in 2023. The law had a two year implementation deadline, which just expired. It's pretty understandable that the government trying to take the country back on track did

I have receipts for every point, just didn't want to post a wall of links. It's not just emergent disconnection, there are many documented cases ([1][2][3] etc) of nation states trying to sow division and fear. The impression that

That's the combined power of the worst tendencies of the media and a deliberate propaganda campaign. Take this law: it's not new, it was passed in 2023 by the previous government. The law had a two year deadline attached to it, an

That impression is a testament to Pavel's ability to distort the reality . Telegram is nothing like Signal, because the overwhelming majority of traffic is not E2EE, the server has the plaintext. Even for E2EE chats (that are delibera

I don't think "glue" frameworks like Loco can get us there tbh. One problem is that frameworks like Django or RoR have to be tightly integrated! Auth needs to be aware of models and sessions, autogenerated admin pages like

I really wish they get first class Django support. Sadly, its ORM architecture is impossible to type and impossible to change now. Django is one of the most important use cases for Python, having fast full type checking with Django is a dre

Two less mentioned sides of the Barbican that I love: - how much design work was put into it. So many of it, from little bits and bobs (an awning, an electric socket, a doorframe), to the overall layout are unique to the area they are in an

Software engineering (and most professions) also have something that LLMs can't have: an ability to genuinely feel bad. I think [1] it's hugely important and is an irreducible advantage that most engineering-adjacent people ignore

I'm torn. On the one hand, the tech is impressive, and the demo is nicely done. On the other, I think the demo completely misses the point. There's a disconnect between what learners need to learn and what this model optimises for

Yes! Since any function returning a float might need to return NaN, NaNs are represented as a special kind of float, with most bits unused.

I read it and I know about that case. However, as I said I'm struggling to see your point. I guessed you meant that that one case proves something about air superiority or Iran having an advantage over USAF, so I responded with a histo

I don't understand what that link is supposed to prove. A single F-117A getting shot down in Yugoslavia due to complacency and chance doesn't negate Nighthawks bombing SAM defended areas with impunity. Iraq had a strong and integr

Yeah. I was working on [0] for a while (I might get back to it when I have more time) and implemented a chunk of the protocol with an eye for a more scalable libtorrent replacement, and it's not entirely trivial. Even things like the p

It's not impossible, it's just hard to be better than libtorrent, otherwise a new client only makes sense as an exercise. Arvid Norberg is hardly a "beginner developer", yet look how hard it is to make a performant imple
