Thanks to Java, I know pain.

Conversation in the Cathedral absolutely blew my mind when I first read it. Honestly, just the first section would have made a great book all on its own.

Try to give an example that isn’t under broad based global sanctions. What you’re currently doing is akin to pointing at Haiti and saying “Look, emancipation doesn’t work.”

But neither Brexit nor the US foreign and trade policy _are_ just other country's politics. All of these things directly affected/affect the EU27. It's not just a football game. e.g. You'd best believe the average polish

I remember when Brexit happened, every time I got chatting to someone in Europe they would, politely, try to figure out where I stood on the issue. When they figured out that I was pro-European they wanted to know my take on what was going

If you're in London, check out John Soane's museum. And then, on the other side of the square, the Hunterian museum where the original collection has been presented in a more modern style. Some Hunterian artifacts turned out to be

It definitely has been designed to be solved by hand or possibly even in your head. Nintendo aren't in the habit of handing out Advent of Code questions in their games. Honestly, the sophistication of the puzzle design is extremely adm

I mean, I'm pretty sure Ray Bradbury would have.

History teaches us that coming up with categories of “not fully human” tends to very directly lead to awful behaviour.

Gotta say, when I saw “The Island” I thought “This reminds me a heck of a lot of Spares.” Only, you know, much less interesting and hard-hitting.

I suspect the only true way to keep social media non-toxic is simply keep the audience small. Plenty of lovely small subreddits out there. Since bluesky isn't at Twitter volumes yet, it's hard to know if any of their changes will

Banning politics can be truly toxic, because it turns out people don't agree on what's political and what isn't. Me, I don't think the rights of women to get healthcare is political but I'm fully aware plenty of peo

Actually, shared blocklists originated in the desire to avoid harassment. You can make a case for that being group think if you like, but I doubt you'll convince me.

A reminder that, whilst markets are imperfect and the price is often wrong, the price represents the best guesses of some highly compensated and highly able individuals who do this for a living and, as a consequence, is much more likely to

One small piece of feedback: typically these games do not allow proper nouns, because there’s too many of them. So having “Catan” be a valid word is pretty awful.

I dunno, DOGE's activities feel very much like a public policy version of being a script kiddie.

I think the real effect here is the .NET community is small and they all know each other. When people start thinking this way, it only takes a conference meetup for them to spread their opinion to the entire community.

It’ll get you an electrician for about three hours in London. How long do these papers take to read critically?

This is a no true Scotsman argument. If you define socialism as purely being policies that don't work, of course socialism doesn't work. If you accept that you can stick to your principles whilst being flexible about the implement

Spending money to remove grave markers is a choice. It's not about how much money you have, it's whether or not you care about the people in question.

Oh, it's very easy. Watch Terminator: Genisys sometime. Or the Alien vs Predator movie.

Dunno, this reads like legalese to me: No county court is to be held save from month to month, and where the greater term used to be held, so will it be in future, nor will any sheriff or his bailiff make his tourn through the hundred save

If people ran with "If you don't understand, don't sign" in general, every major tech firm on the planet would collapse. More generally, the world is extremely complex. None of us understand all of it, but the constituti

Honestly I remember those days as some of the best for Britain. People used to complain you couldn't get a plumber or the only plumber was an incompetent scoundrel. All of a sudden you could find some who got the job done, and they spo

This is the correct answer. It will never cease to disappoint me that 2&3 didn’t go in one of the many interesting directions implied by the Animatrix.

I’m in the tiny demographic who thinks Joker 2 being a musical starring Lady Gaga was a strong decision, let down by waves in the general direction of almost everything else about the movie .

Yeah, Neo is told the project is going ahead with or without his involvement so he gets involved to make it suck less.
