I don't know about the UK but in my country it's not uncommon to have pints priced at 8€, which is 0.5% of the minimal salary. It is a really pricy way to spend time.

So not too unlike Amazon and its tax evasion schemes.

UBI won't work: it's almost implemented in my country (you can get 600€/month + many other welfare stuff by not working) and what's the result? Highest public deficit in the EU zone, highest tax rate in the world, rampan

I distinctly remember Cloudfare being accused here of hosting spammers and selling protection against them a decade ago. Then suddenly the name became associated with positive things only, and the whole thing have been memory-holed.

Living in European cities with multimodal transportations, what I fear the most are cyclists. Cars drive on very clearly delimited space, respect the driving code quite properly and are visible and audible from far away. Bicycles on the oth

Those deadlines are way to short except for really small projects little like a single static web page. Or the guy is a x100 developer.

The dict protocol really show it's age, notably the stateful connection part. Having a new protocol based on HTTP and JSON similar to LSP would be nice but there is no real interest. (I made and used my own nonetheless in a research pr

This is nothing to do with AI but with intolerance of a certain religion. That religion is killing a lot in my country and many others too, but both the governments (national and supranational) and corporations censor any criticism of it. E

From time to time, especially when too tired to work on a full feature, I do some random click here and there, and try stuff I usually don't in my game. I always discover some issues or little improvements than can be made. A lot would

You are throwing the baby with the bath water. XML is fine, even if it has some gotcha. Astronauts will go wild with any tech at their disposal (I'm seeing it every day at work with .net and JSON).

Reminds me off all the "テイクアウトもOK" (Take out is also possible) mentions that flourished on restaurants in Japan during covid. There was already a Japanese equivalent that existed (お持ち帰り) but I guess that was less fashionable.

I agree. Unicode needs to be splitted in two: one serious part focusing on the original mission and real world documented scripts, the other doing whatever it wants with stupid emojis.

This is flagrant with the EU raising import tariffs on Chinese EV. There is a lot of communication about the climate transition and how electric stuff is needed to save the world, but when cheap options are available from China it's a

Actually (I wanted to keep the story short), I added a new comment on the line before stating that the other way isn't working.

Always the same story... A few years ago a big left French newspaper (Libération) always pushing for "diversity" published a photo of their staff, which was like 98- 100% white.

This is in addition to the world most expensive taxation (France), so assuming you can manage to be a least ramen profitable you can't expect to cash-in more than ~40-45% of the end profits in your pocket.

I would be kinda mad if someone came with a (noisy) baby during a presentation of a conference paper I spend months working on, plus facing the stress of selection. They are professionals to keep care of them when needed, there is no valid

Which percentage of Firefox is now written in Rust? If the project it was started for still isn't totally migrated, it makes sense for others to remain skeptical. There's value in simplicity, like having to use a single language f
