It's very cheap if you're Bill Oddie. He collected things he'd stamped on.

That could be the plain, while everyone is focusing on the sheep-shaggers, Patel can hire Proud Boys, white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and so on unchecked.

Lack of response to anecdotes and humor, which I use a lot too, is really off-putting. You have no idea whether they've all just switched off / they're only there because they have to be, or whether they're actually list

Some years ago I was trying to track down a comedy TV series I watched when I was a student, along with most other students at the time, which wasn't big enough to have been later issued on DVD. I emailed the agent of the actor/pr

I've used "please phrase your question in the form of a question" when the person in the audience is using it as a platform to deliver a long speech.

And two more were supposed to come from Aliexpress but they got stopped at customs because of asbestos contamination. That's why there's that gap on the southwest side. Not a lot of people know that.

It was whatever they were shipping in the early 1990s, CLI tools. It cross-compiled to mangled C++ which made it un-debuggable outside of inserting print statements, compile turnaround for even a small program was 20 minutes on a reasonably

A fault at a pumping station, for example a broken valve, can be fixed relatively quickly, you pull a spare out of storage and install it, taking maybe a couple of days if it's a critical-path component that can't be bypassed and

> But the frenzy to blame every person and institution for Arday’s death save Arday himself is bizarre. Look up "narcissistic collapse". What happened was tragic, but also somewhat predictable.

The Houthis destroyed a pumping station, you don't just plug in a new one of those in a week or two. Also given the length of the pipeline they can just take out more parts of it at their leisure.

Don't you mean disbelief in science? It's really weird how in Europe having a PhD in X is seen as a good thing for being the Minister for X while in the US having to get an aide to unlock your cellphone for you is seen as a good t

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that, although it certainly felt like academic-grade code, which someone once described to me as "thrown together by a caffeine-crazed grad student at 3am and run on at least one test case". It&

I (briefly) used Eiffel in the 1990s. It had some of, if not the, worst tooling I've ever experienced for a programming language, and I've used COBOL compilers and MVS. A pretty nice language, but the software tool support initial

I was expecting a diatribe about the (UK) police: "Next week, right, I'm going to blow up a panda in Croydon".

Ditto for Trail of Bits, worked with them recently and they do some really impressive quality work, and have some very sharp guys working for them.

Maybe they should hand things over to Seth MacFarlane, he's kept the spirit of Star Trek alive better than Paramount ever could.

Dear God, what is that font they've used? Eyesore? Atrocity? Deformity? Even reading the title hurt.

Not the military stuff but Arab tribal society, read "The First Muslim" by Lesley Hazleton, about Arab society around the year 600. It's an absolute eye-opener.

Pretty much every reply to the parent has now given a very different reason for why the problem exists. Anyone else want to give it a try? Bonus points for mentioning meatballs and/or lutfisk.

Sort of like needing the US for F-35 parts? Given the choice between being dependent on China or the US, I know which one I'd choose - China is running a business, the US is running... God knows what it is they think they're runni

It also needs an update of STACK, the UB checker discussed in it. It was published as an academic research project ten years ago and never updated, which is a huge pity. The closest we've got today is an AI telling you that what you&#

In terms of mass media coverage, if this really is the bingo-card GDPR violation it appears to be then the fines for LG will be... staggering, as in corporate-survival-level staggering, which means they'll be fighting it tooth and nail
