Scotland, at least, already has renter protection against no-fault evictions, with a few exceptions [0]. I dont know about other jurisdictions in the UK, but possible that England being the straggler here and them catching up means UK wide

I think you are confusing this with Programmauteuhr, which is basically a mechanical emacs made by a Programmauteur. Its very fringe, but critics love it.

Maybe the solution is to brand yourself as an "auteur programmer".

There are a few outliers, but generally, I found most candidates hired are good, if the interview process mimics the actual projects someone is going to work on in the next 3 months or so. But the downside is that interviewing is slow and c

Greenland and Madagascar would disagree. But yes on second thought, you are correct with the river.

"continuous expanse of land" would imply at least that any island is its own continent, but perhaps even that each bank of any river (while water is in it) would divide continents. So that does not seem right. Wikipedia actually c

So many questions... Will there be a dedicated sub web targeted at ChatGPT where it can hang out with itself while pretending to search? How much do ads pay that are ingested and reproduced by ChatGPT? How much are ChatGPTs session states w

On a high level, this story looks similar to CFC: when environmental issues arise, deny and defend profits. [0] [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bilott#Initial_actions_...

First up, I do not have any particular insights what happened behind the doors and how government planning _really_ works. But if business / engineering management is in any way similar, there would have been a huge amount of uncertain

I did not mean to blame him for having polio. I just meant to say that his solution to his mobility problems came with significant tech debt that came to hang him later.

There is a concept in the armed forces for making decisions in a given timeframe (struggling to find a source for this). Essentially you do the best you can in the time you are given. Then you move on and iterate. If you dither too much you

Maybe it is common in the US, and is done routinely when starting a business and business account. But if not I would be surprised if many seedround / series A startups with a couple of million in the bank do this. In the UK I have not

Italian espressos are really quite fast. If you are in a hurry and the barista knows you, you can be on your way within 30 sec of entering the bar. Even of you are not a repeat customer you can get out faster than you get served in chain co

Maybe they suffer from the barber pole problem. Since there is only an edge, and no corners, the flies cannot localise themselves when they are too close. Without corners, they wont be able to visually tell whether or not they get closer to

I travelled recently on a smallish Scotrail train to Edinburgh on a Friday evening. On the table next to me were a couple in their 50s who brought out a red-white checkered table cloth and crystal wine glasses, like a posh picnic. With inim

I bet if the font size was given in pt instead of px it would be mostly constant. Because you need a minimum physical size of the letters to be able to read them (like the test at the optometrist). As you get bigger resolution on standard s

Would be interesting to hear what that way is. From memory they only allow it if you are being discriminated against (voting is explicitly excluded), but maybe I missed something. Right now the UK seems to have left all the doors open for i

Problem is: if your first passport is German, you are at high risk of losing it and you have to essentially decide which way to go. Germany only allows dual citizenship with EU countries (at time of application).

Wild guess and it's too late to find sources, but phones in the Eastern block were a highly political thing and access to landlines was strictly controlled. So maybe there was no incentive to scale a mobile solution that worked for the
