Throw in a node.js implementation with 100 dependencies and we're cooking, simple as.

This is the same in the UK, it depends on context based on the industry. IT contractor is synonymous with freelancer in the UK traditionally. Most of the UK population, if asked "what's a contractor" would assume construction

I was thinking exactly this. Coming from Rust, but also as a fan of Go, I can't help that the building blocks just aren't there to construct a satisfying form of iterators, and like you said that would be language support for tupl

I'm saying a pinky promise (to join the Euro, never to do so) would not be sufficient to reassure the British establishment or electorate of losing fiscal sovereignty. I don't understand why the EU would want this either. It would

Then it appears we had no choice, a self fulfilling prophecy.

Because domestic UK politics wouldn't allow this to pass on technicalities, I mean haven't you learned anything from the build up to Brexit? It would have to be explicit to be palatable, not some technicality that we effectively w

That's precisely why the UK got a rebate, because the subsidies were not applicable to the UK economy, which had a disproportionately low input from farming, thus for our financial input we weren't fairly rewarded. The UK has had

I'm a remainer, how do you think your portrayal comes across? Even the mere financial contributions alone (net contributor) should be acknowledged and recognized as a force for good for the project during our tenure. Some countries als

I think the problem with this is that it's a technicality; the optics of selling it like that wouldn't wash - I suspect the UK would need specific reassurance for the "Euro" topic.

What year was this? The removal of a lot of this financial friction was coming to and end regardless of the Euro or ECB. Didn't Croatia only join the Euro this year? I'm finding it hard to believe this archaic mechanism existed up

The currency is a hard no, even from hardent remainer quarters. The Euro and the ECB haven't even been a success for the EU as-is, a single fiscal policy cannot reconcile the economies of Germany and Greece. The hubris of the UK submit

Well only even the most pious remainers would accept the Euro as a currency and removing fiscal sovereignty, so it's a total non-starter. The special treatment for the old guard (German automotive, French farming industries) also needs

Slightly off topic, but in the UK we call rings of fungus "fairy rings" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_ring ). Myself and others have witnessed these at native orchid sites and one pattern is that orchid

> and knowing what we could do with it if done right The implication here is that you know a compelling case for "what we could do with it" and how to "do it right", so what are the answers (because I'm stumped)?

It's not bending the knee, that's how they want it to be perceived, but what's really happening is that they're trying to pull up the ladder.

Sarcasm I assume? This would merely be a redistribution of taxpayers money with no end product. EU has form in this.

Some weird comments and up/down voting going on in this thread, hijacked perhaps or Western "socialists" doing their contradictory SIMPing for imperial Russia?

My take is the comoditisation of developers, pushing as much responsibility to them in search of efficiency. Arguably they are best placed to know how long the implementation of X might take, but often the lines are blurred, i.e. developers

by mutatio 4y ago
It's not really about units sold though is it? I guess yes, usually it's a good approximation, but you could sell a single unit for $5bn and have a superior net profit. Tesla's profit margin looks to be ~15%, whilst VW is at

I can't help but feel these takes come from a lack of empathy; I'm the exact opposite, but I fully accept people have your view. What strikes me as odd is the incapability for the pro-in-office crew to see that they're seekin
