It’s more than just populism though - our political and media classes are deeply intermeshed and overlapping. The previous prime minister was a newspaper columnist and returned to being one. His sister is also a journalist in a prominent pa

I’ve experienced old.* misbehaving with TLS before, where the cert was either not the right name or wasn’t yet valid (12mo ago perhaps) - I’m wondering if it may be related to an earlier crawl where that has happened

This is a baity headline - Virgin Money and Skipton building society have paused. These are small players. When larger banks like Halifax, HSBC etc pause then we’ll know stuff is going really bad

Would you be able to pay for something in the millions via normal payment methods though? The laundering makes sense for the smaller numbers like in the link (~$500) but these huge values make it seem unlikely to me (and would surely draw a

I think the Karatsuba implementation is kind of missing the point of the whole exercise by just leaning on i128’s methods. It should really be defining a big num type or doing all the work on strings etc. It’s also going to explode if I put
