Scientific work should strive to be functional by definition (identical input == identical output), so I could see why a programing language should reflect that.
Here's some information about CHANNEL / PREVENT: http://www.teescpp.org.uk/prevent-channel-referral-process

People who are referred are assessed, and most appropriate help should be provided. For some people this will be mental health services. For others it might be befriending services, or access to non-radicalising social groups.

People have mentioned external speakers. Here's the guidance for Higher Education in England and Wales.

6. We would expect RHEBs to be delivering in the following areas.

External Speakers and Events

7. In order to comply with the duty all RHEBs should have policies and procedures in place for the management of events on campus and use of all RHEB premises. The policies should apply to all staff, students and visitors and clearly set out what is required for any event to proceed.

8. The RHEB clearly needs to balance its legal duties in terms of both ensuring freedom of speech and academic freedom, and also protecting student and staff welfare. Although it predates this legislation, Universities UK produced guidance in 2013 to support institutions to make decisions about hosting events and have the proper safeguards in place:

This describes my social media feed / process, and I would imagine most others as well.

Just by curiosity, what is your mother tongue? In my case, hearing non-natives trying to speak my language fills me with a sudden outburst of joy! I just want to immediately become friends and help the person, and introduce them to my friends and family! (Maybe because it is quite rare to see foreigners learning catalan.)
> drawn into beliefs that would see those individuals commit violent acts

That potentially covers any and all of homophobia, sexism, support for Rangers FC, signing up for the Army, animal rights, etc.

The actual guidance says

> vocal or active opposition to
fundamental British values, including democracy,
the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual
respect and tolerance of different faiths and
beliefs

and calls out Islamic fundamentalism and white supremacism. That raises the question, should the BBC's recent broadcast of the "Rivers of Blood" speech have been referred to Prevent for white supremacism?

The IT systems of these companies are held together loosely with gaffa tape. This kind of thing could happen at any time. This is what happens when you deliver your project due to pressure from non technical people even though you know it's not properly finished. Why do people not listen to the professionals when it comes to IT?

In my current job I have repeatedly told non technical superiors that reverse engineering an outdated API is not a proper solution and could fall apart at any time. They do not care. It doesn't even register. Do civil engineers have this problem if they realise there might be a structural weakness?
Homeownership isn't necessary to achieve financial security and/or build equity. The idea that it is, all the time, everywhere, a necessary step does not hold. In countries where the state does not heavily subsidize homeownership via tax incentives (Switzerland or Germany by contrast with USA or France), many households choose to invest in other assets. On the contrary, the fact that states have to subsidize homeownership to make it a competitive investment for households (at the expense of renters paying taxes and not benefitting from incentives), is evidence that in a tax-neutral environment, homeownership doesn't make much sense.

Singapore is misleading, because 82% of the population actually lives in public housing (HDB). I suppose they're counted as "homeownership" because they are leased for 99 years [1], but that's a strong authoritative state with central planning and management of housing. Lease doesn't build that much equity because at you get closer to the term the value of the lease naturally declines. And you're not free to sell or buy to who you want.

This looks like an improvement over what Jenkins 2.0 provides and I wish you guys good luck.

I have used and vouched for Jenkins in several companies and some decent sized licenses were bought mainly because of my input.

But to me, Cloudbees has done a major dick move making the stages not restartable in Jenkins 2.0, among other things. E.g: Dropping stage view out of nowhere and focusing only in Blue Ocean. I complained about in the channels that I had at the time and the response was, it's going to be unsupported from now on.

It's a super squechy thing to have such a useful feature bundled with a bunch of support and useless stuff that I don't care, and then charge me per node. I am migrating away from Jenkins into GoCD after close to 10 years using it, and don't get me wrong I don't feel happy doing this, but it's hard to justify it.

Fortunately the future looks bright, there are several interesting solutions available, Argo is super interesting to me, looking forward for Argo CD!

He’s spent the last three years working in tech in a first-world country while waiting for a chance to work in tech in another first-world country, where he’ll have to not-get-deported for two whole years before he can really settle down.

Do you realise that you're saying devout Muslims are terrorists? That may not be what you intended. Obviously prevent is not about people who are "too muslim", but about people who are drawn to violence for political or religious means.

This includes islamic extremists, but also includes some animal rights activists or far right extremists.

Is it possible to just 'hire more teachers' though? The teachers that I had in university didn't seem to be the type of people you could just hire more of.
I have the impression that much more people are looking to bootstrap a business than seeking VC funding.

The thing is that funding-seeker founders are very concentraded in a some bubbles in big cities, due to the nature of VC ecosystem and bootstrappers are more dispersed, each one close to their respective market (or or not even so, as in low touch digital business).

I assume you are in one of those bubbles.

Depends, in regulated industries you might have to adapt to product state by state in the US much more that you would have in the EU, where a lot or regulations are now more uniform.
The shares that the commercial banks own are pretty much entirely symbolic. I believe they have no voting rights, for instance.

The US Government considers the federal bank “independent within the Government”.

The Fed derives all its authority from the Federal Reserve Act, legislated by Congress, and it’s run by a board appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
> IIRC, GPS satellites have 25W transmitters, that's insanely powerful, but they're 20000Km away

Both numbers are correct, but 25W isn’t “insanely powerful”. The spec for GPS satellites lists the antenna gain at 13dBi. 25W fed through a 13 dBi antenna is just shy of 500W EIRP. Sitting near me is a 2W 2.4ghz amp and a 24 dBi parabolic antenna. That combo is just over 500W EIRP. The reason you stated (distance) is the big factor, over 12,500mi, the free space path loss is huge (182dB assuming flat gains). 500W is just shy of 27 dBW, so 27-182 is -155, which is a very very very weak signal.

I didn't propose French because both France and Germany are often accused to have too much control and influence in the EU so I think there would be a significant push back if either of them tried to impose their language to the rest of the union.

Furthermore Spanish is probably easier than French for any kind of objective metric you could throw at them. In particular Castilian is easier to spell and has a simpler phonology. On top of that Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. I think it would be a strong contender for "lingua franca", although that might be my romance language bias showing.

Contraception.
A few notes:

1) Qt Widgets development stopped with 5.0. I had bugs filed on the embedded Linux targets and was told "sorry, these will never be fixed".

2) #1 means that Qt wants you to use QML. I need to run a Javascript engine on my target? Note in the comments of that blog post that they hope to run on an A7 (or really fast M7)...someday.

2b) ...And if they do run on a lower end platform, you still need a POSIX O/S. uCLinux is not a great option on M3/M4 CPUs and keeping the binding dynamic on those cores to stay LGPL compliant is extremely difficult.

3) QML bindings are a pain in the ass, especially when you're trying to put a UI on legacy code.

4) Most crucial: Qt Lite and QtDC are commercial products only.

So, in my opinion, embedded is still a 2nd class player. Or, I could clarify further: low end embedded is a 2nd class player. If you're working on automotive HMI/IVI? They'd love your business.
So? “Typical” has nothing to do with how the absolute number compares to other countries. Do your not know what the word means, or are you just being extremely obtuse?

WebGL is great for most use cases, and generally pretty comparable to OpenGL in terms of performance.

This vis is rendering ~11 million vertices which is quite a bit for any GPU to render. There are some optimizations that could be made — chunking, frustum culling, LOD, depth testing, etc — but probably not trivially. It would change the look & feel of the demo (things "popping" in and out or lack of overlapping buildings, etc) and probably take a significant effort to code.

>, with this in mind, to read Jon Skeet’s checklist for writing the perfect question.[...] Sadly, not everybody finds his checklist. Maybe they found it and they don’t care. They’re having an urgent problem with code; they heard that Stack Overflow could help them; and they don’t have time to read some nerd’s complicated protocol for requesting help.

As to the Jon Skeet checklist[1] that Spolsky linked, is there any reason why those questions can't be part of the UI when posting a question?

The data entry for those fields can even be optional instead of mandatory. The incentive for filling them out is to boost the likelihood of the question getting visibility and getting answered. An analogy is "SEO" Search Engine Optimization and "pagerank". If you want your question to bubble up to the top of the answerers' queue, boost the "effort score" by answering those Jon Skeet questions. Any drawbacks for this?

Monzo!! I was wondering when they will become a full bank. I remember they were offering prepaid cards. I am shocked that in the UK you cannot get an SMS alert when making a purchase or cannot see "fast/live" when you make an expense.

As for the TSB, it would be interesting to see what went wrong and how they fixed it.

This is possible.

I come from a multicultural background. I never entirely fit in anywhere, so I always feel a little "alien," yet I am not easily intimidated, I generally like people and I am comfortable socializing with all kinds of people. I certainly don't actively broadcast that I'm scared, and I actively downplay any special privilege or assets that I have which might make me a target.
How different is this really from traditional publishing or TV? There's a lot of upfront development work required to create something that's pitchable. And then a person or a show may be deemed too much of a hot potato to continue with it. It's true that there are more potential channels to monetize than in the case of online video, but no one's owed advertising dollars.
Most people value both though; when I was in university I loved what I did and wanted to continue doing it somewhere excellent afterwards. For that I need to be armed both with the knowledge and the qualifications necessary.
It's not quite as bad as attending, but cost of a degree is about £18k or so - at £3k/year if you do the typical spread over 6 years. The cost has been going up markedly ever since £3k fees first came in.

They still offer bursaries and grants for those on low income, but seem to have been trimmed to be only partial help, with the rest on a student loan. I'm fairly sure you used to be able to apply for 100% help.

So it seems far less appealing for those on low or middle income, and all their traditional successes like those who never did a degree at 18 etc.
It seems to me it is an elitist view that when you provide a service to the unwashed masses, it must be of lower quality

But it must be. An institution with AAA A-level students can teach more advanced material at a faster pace than one that admits EEEs. This is surely obvious, no?

It doesn’t mean anyone is better or worse in a moral sense, it just means more or less academically able.
That they did not bill does not mean they were not paid. Papers came from this. Lectures will be given. They did not take pay cuts from day jobs when they committed hours to this project. Doing experimental things like this is part of being a top doc.
This compounds some major long-term problems for education in the UK.

1. Their school systems are the most elitist/unequal in Europe [0] (from this TED talk [1]). There are many things I love about the UK but I can never go back as the school I send my child to now for free would cost £4000-6000 per year of post-tax income in the UK.

2. Because of underpaying teachers (In comparison to Belgium the mid-level art teacher I know gets paid €100/hr) and burying teachers in red-tape there is a significant shortage of teachers. This has led to the ridiculous lottery system they now have for picking schools.

3. The Brexit is going to hit the number of European students hard. Outside of Oxford and Cambridge, most of the top 10 UK Universities are all in London with a huge contingent of European students.

So Universities are going to lose their European influx and the incoming generation of students are going to be poorer.

Berlin is the only true international city of Germany, and with its active startup and IT culture - ~20 hackerspaces, countless IT MeetUps, startup events, well-known STEM research labs spread across 3 full and several applied universities and research institutes like MPI or Fraunhofer; industry research (Amazon) - the only place in Germany and one of the few places in Europe that is interesting for the HN audience.

The areas you mention are only places to go if your startup wants to tap into the (indeed very established) mechanical engineering industry, or very specific areas of research. But definitely no place for people who have a more international view on things.

>YT is essentially a monopoly in the small producer content discovery market.

You can slice and dice markets until you say anyone has a monopoly. I know this guy who has a monopoly on hair cutting services in the main downtown block in the town I live in, that type of thing. That doesn't mean it is a "monopoly" that regulation would confer any rights to the consumers (which is the sort the upstream comment was looking for).

Same thing for "small producer content discovery market." It's a stretch to say that's some sort of regulated monopoly, or that it should be. YT steers their users towards particular content. So does Netflix, Amazon, The New York Times, Lego, and everybody else. You wouldn't expect YT should have to steer people towards Vimeo videos.
