I’ll be honest, I’m not reading your comments any more until you can provide sources that there’s actually an issue in the UK. I’ve done you the good grace of showing you my receipts so until I see some text that starts with https:/&#x

You're completely misreading regulations. "Materially affect" does not cover things like "puts a unit outside" because otherwise putting a satellite does would "materially affect the appearance of the building

I’ll take your word on the other points but this one: > Many European countries have draconian laws about air conditioning that are killing people this summer. Needs some debunking. In fact, I think you may have been fed lies because the

Huge gap between producing material that depicts (presumably) consensual sexual activities between adults and telling young boys to commit rape.

While you’re correct, it still means that everyone alive had been bowling overarm for over 100 years and I doubt most players are studying the history of their sport beyond knowing its “founding myth.”

Commentators typically know more than players. But in any case, the article quite literally contradicts you. The New Zealand captain believed it to be illegal and the commentator said “you can’t do that,” implying he believed it to be illeg

I disagree: players rarely know the rules in-depth. A great example is a YouTube video I watched where a Premier League and World Cup referee told the camera that most players didn’t know where they needed to be placed for kick off and that

It was actual cheating by even the rules of the game, just the referee didn’t see it.

There’s definitely a time and place for both. Even in sport, “playing to win” can defeat the point when you’re doing it for fun. During swim training, if our coach wants to setup a relay race, he’ll deliberately mix swim ability (even chang

I actually suspect they didn’t know. When a sport is played one way for 200 years, you don’t read the rule book to check, you just copy what everyone is doing!

It’s because overhand bowling was just the way you bowled, so nobody considered making a rule to tell you that was necessary until someone didn’t. Imagine playing football and someone picks up the ball and- oh right ;-)

Depending on the club, you can’t compare pricing for Blyth Spartans tickets to Arsenal (famously expensive) and say “well you can just go follow a different club.” That’s just not how football support works in England. Also, I pointed to an

My understanding is probably not: the hooks are configured locally, not by other packages automatically, so you’d install and setup the pre-install hooks yourself to check the packages before install/update. Can it be exploited? Yes, a

I know this particular context was within the WC but the phrasing of the parent comment seemed to go beyond just that and to football tickets in general, which is what set me off. Also, I know for a fact that plenty of working class people

Ironically it’s the thing that will destroy many sports. People worldwide watch the premier league for the atmosphere. That comes from working class people singing and following their team. There’s a reason Newcastle fans out-sing the home

I’m going to straight up call this a classist view to hold. Things like sports events, music events became popular BECAUSE of the working classes watching and taking part. Football, the biggest single sport on Earth would be nothing were it

No. Fraud is a much higher bar than making a prediction about your plan for the future that may or may not pan out. There’s no deception here, management fully intend to end the contractor relationship in future, whether they’re able to or

Simplicity of the stack I think. I don’t think this is an npm-specific issue as the attacker could also download a bash script and run that instead.

Your argument is, frankly, idiotic. If a version of Windows, or any deployed software, has a performance regression, do you consider it “not a live product” because you didn’t personally install it yet? I really don’t have words. When peopl

You're simply incorrect here. The GC was in versions 3.14.0 to 3.14.4. See https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.14.html#whatsnew314-inc... On what planet is the currently released version of any software &quo

Anyone who’s worked in incident response will tell you why you’re wrong. Tweaking the GC while the system was functionally broken is the worst time to do it. Correct incident response is revert first, figure out how to fix it later.

This makes sense because these companies want to become large companies and contract with large companies. Large companies, by and large, try to follow the law (while trying to bend it to the limit) because they're aware they have a bi

That's why you work with your Legal/Compliance Team to make sure you stay in line. They can explain when a rule applies and when it doesn't. This needs the engineering side to be able to explain what's happening, and tra

I don’t know why you keep bringing up Python being dynamic, it’s not particularly relevant. What matters is the content of the request which is to outline how the feature should work and be maintained over time before it can be accepted. Wh

Except it’s not. The intention of JIT in CPython is to make it into the main branch feature complete. If they can’t get the necessary support then it won’t be relegated to niche uses, it’ll be abandoned and need a new effort to get off the
