It's not. Fixing the tax system is a good idea that I'm all in favour of, but universalising benefits and eliminating means testing is a good idea even if we don't wait to do that first.

Hah, I meant ocaml-tls which I think is still the most mature option in this space. But yeah there are other approaches.

If it's a good tax credit, incentivising something society wants to incentivise, then everyone it applies to should get it; that helps social cohesion. If you make billionaires ineligible for tax credits they'll oppose them (and w

Rerere is dangerous and counterproductive - it tries to give rebase the same functionality that merge has, but since rebase is fundamentally wrong it only stacks the wrongness.

Anything a border official says is implicitly backed with the threat of, at a minimum, detention without trial and without basic humane treatment like access to drinking water. Heathrow has well publicised cases (and is not unusual in this)

The thing is LLM-assisted C is still memory unsafe and almost certainly has undefined behaviour; the LLM might catch some low hanging fruit memory problems but you can never be confident that it's caught them all. So it doesn't re
