I've used a dynamically typed language extensively. I don't think they are suited for anything but small scripts. Refactoring is a nightmare, as as types don't exist, the compiler can't help you if you try to access a pr

I used gtk2, it was ok, but I preferred Ubuntu's Unity interface when it came out. Gnome 3 seems similar to Unity nowadays, and it is pretty good. I find it much easier to use than Windows or Mac, which is credit to the engineers who w

"Turkey" is what most English people would use, which makes it the defacto official name, despite what the UN might say. Most English people aren't even able to type ü on a keyboard.

It reminds me of the proposal to shake hands at the end of Goldeneye: > Miyamoto, with a series of suggestions for the game. “One point was that there was too much close-up killing – he found it a bit too horrible. I don’t think I did an

The EDL hasn't been around for years. The "far right" narrative is to hide state failure. Even the group "Hope not Hate" (former far-left "Searchlight" publication) admitted the "far right" narra

There is no "far right" or people being "whipped up". Disorder is a consequence of failed government policy. E.g. from 2023: "Northern seaside town now a 'powder keg' over asylum seeker tensions" &quo

In the UK there is "social media intelligence", where AI systems scan the firehose of messages as they appear. [1] So people have been arrested for posting something online, even if nobody appears to have seen it, and they delete

I am wondering if this payments system would be able to make society more resilient to crashes in the banking system. e.g. banks being allowed to fail, without the payments system stopping working.

The UK justice secretary goes to pro-Palestinian protests. I doubt she wants this state of affairs to change. On the other hand, if your house gets burgled, you get a crime reference number and told to take it up with your insurance company
