I think you mean the ECJ. But either way, European courts aren't popular in the UK because they are able to override British law. Seems reasonable that the country that invented the concept of human rights might want to retain her ju

What does that actually mean? It means that most of the laws that are passed by the EU are done so at the behest of big industry. All laws are proposed by the unelected EU commission, and they are lobbied heavily by the industrie

The UK govt spends a lot of its time rubber stamping EU legislation, which is largely corporatist, not individualist. I don't have time to give this reply the attention it deserves, but consider that it is now illegal to sell your home

That's fine, but I don't think that's what people mean when they say C++. I certainly wouldn't call myself a C++ coder and, if I applied for a C++ job, I'm pretty sure that, after I had explained that I don't

Thanks for clarifying that for me.

Exactly so. Well, British and European goods.

If anything because they'll have to rewrite thousands of laws and procedures that came from the EU times, and deal with the caos that that will cause. I've never understood this argument. Surely all you have to d

Losing access to the free market would be fine if we gain access to the global market, at least in the medium to long term. The ability to drop tariffs on imports would be a big deal even in the short term. In reality, though, I don't

It might not be that easy to tell. The C++ I write (for myself) is essentially plain C. No templates, dynamic dispatch, constructors, or exceptions. Most of the standard libs I use begin with the letter 'c'. It uses some C++ fe

Very few organizations are going to need that kind of scale, but many want to think that they will! Further to that point, many software engineers know that NoSQL is a bad fit for their organisation but use it anyway because t

You're both right. The best thing for the Oni dev to do now (presuming your performance comments apply directly to it) is to go back and identify/fix the cause of the performance issues. If the performance improvements can be don

Anyone who thinks it's normal to want to analyse "hate speech" is already living the dystopian dream. 10 years earlier, the people who were deeply concerned that such a vague and ill-defined term had just entered the legal le

I don't think the particular issue is with deciding what hate is. Your example said that the AI would understand all of those as hate, and I think it would be correct. What makes you so sure about that? What if the c

That may be because you're programming C++. :) As I recall, there is another bit of research that claims that the number of bugs written in all languages is about the same, except C++ which produces way more.

But we also have direct evidence that the distribution of genders across the disciplines increases as opportunities between the genders become more equal. That strongly implies that biology does have an affect on life choices. It also ha

Transport layer to me means TCP/IP. HTTP sits above that, in the application domain. If a user sends an invalid request then the response should be in the 400 band. If the server failed in some way to deal with the request (e.g. the

Well he has stated in interviews with the media that some candidates, who were discriminated for, went through fewer interview stages than the others. IIRC he mentioned this in his interviews with both Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson.

Many developers use 4xx status codes to indicate things like data validation errors or other things that are not part of the HTTP transport. You mean like a form validation error? Surely an invalid request is a bad reques
