"Inside IR35" would mean you're controlled like an employee, and taxed so. "Outside" could mean one of two things, the company you're contracting for doesn't qualify to determine your status (and the tax b

Just a correction; it's the British Empire, not "English" - the Scottish for instance were over represented in terms of colonization, and don't forget Ireland in its entirety was "British" at the time.

The ECB has its hands tied behind its back, perfect storms like this highlight one of the benefits of a country having its own currency and fiscal policy - the ECB cannot move like UK/US as reconciling Greece/Italy and Germany&#x2

If something goes wrong with a property, the landlord foots the bill, right now construction costs are out pacing inflation.

The Chinese economic model is very much capitalist, so yes, capitalism is very much a working model. During the Cultural Revolution, China tried to become "more communist" economically, with predictably bad outcomes.

Upper ceiling on the Common frog found in the UK is 2000 eggs. So that's 700 females spawning at max capacity. Having lived in areas where these frogs are common, I don't believe the numbers for a second.

EU currency isn't necessarily good, especially the attached ECB which now has no power to increase interest rates due to a disparity of member states with economies that are impossible to reconcile in a single currency.

"Nearly every case" is very wishy washy, I assume you have some specifics, what about trashing a property, who absorbs that cost? Living where one has historically lived is interesting, take London - you're implying it should

I think (at least from my perspective) the issue here is that sum types are not first class citizens supported by the compiler, for example non-exhaustive matching in Rust would result in a compile time error. Implementations like this are

These takes are interesting, as invariably I think they don't give much thought into the context of the person in question. I'm not excusing the execution of the cat, it is indeed distasteful, however you're applying moral re

I just wonder if it would lead to further cementing the Chrome-first approach to web dev - in the context of browser sniffing in JS libs and even backend code. I guess this doesn't drop support for JavaScript navigator properties so ma

Regarding the dropping of the user agent string, are folk not concerned that it would lead to future web development coalescing towards a Chrome "world view"?

Personally, I think it's merely increased individualism, exasperated by globalism. You can still exercise your democratic right in the UK, Brexit being a good example, which was both unsupported by any meanstream party and a totally un

You can do this in Rust, the imports in Rust being synonymous with your aliasing of a module path. I guess it depends on the depth of your paths, but I'm unsure what it solves, it just moves the verbosity to call sites.

Let's not hijack the thread with politics. I will say this, there was no motive for it to be "purposefully created" - that is nonsense, try and think about it objectively for a second. It's far more nuanced than that. T

In my experience, for the basics, Rust async is great, it gets messier around more complex things, e.g. async database transaction retries or async-at-depth type flows - also, async traits are not available yet as standard (there is a crate
