> Why couldn't we have our own rules regarding copyright, like up until now?

You didn't actually have that up until now either.

> now the Germans and the French rule our country

Citation very much needed, unless you mean nominally German and French companies delegating factories and subsidiaries to your country, in which case, that's the point.

> and you people praise the EU for that while my grandfathers died for us to be sovereign

I think if you'd ask them, they died for their children to have a better life, and not having to fight any more wars. Also, a lot of (great)-grandfathers died in countries that are pretty happy to be in the EU; your appeal to nationalism is pretty offensive here.

> BTW yes, most people here would rather be poor and sovereign than the EU alternative.

Your country can just decide to leave. If the burden of delegating some super-national matters to a larger voluntary body becomes too much, you can just opt-out.
I can understand why people don't do it. We weren't taught how to learn at school or college and when we turned up at university we were expected to know how. It took me a semester of alcohol fuelled hedonism, followed by screwing up, panic, then introspection to work it all out.

I imagine a lot of that could be avoided with some assistance from the education sector along the way.

My eldest wants to be a doctor so I've tried to share as much of my experience with her on how to learn so she doesn't have to make my mistakes as they still don't teach them any of this today, at least in the UK.
Yeah, it bugged me that they were suggesting it was for secrecy. This is just what prototype hardware looks like. You break out as many electrical connections as possible to enable verification and debug.
I'm not saying they shouldn't, I'm saying that they are not going to do it, the majority at least. Most people take the path of least resistance, if your path of least resistance is retyping your notes consistently every class more power to you, you are not an average student then. I never typed up my notes, I made flashcards based off them which worked for me, but OK. I'm just saying that if you think the average student diligently types up his notes after every class you're sorely mistaken.

> there's no relative routes https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/issues/2172

I've been managing "relative" routes by just using `match.path` and `match.url` from the previous route. Works fine.

function Parent(props) {
return (
<>
<Link to='/child'>Child</Link>
<Route path='/child' component={Child}/>
</>
);
}

function Child({match}) {
return (
<>
<Link to={`${match.url}/grandchild`}>Grandchild</Link>
<Route path={`${match.path}/grandchild`} component={Grandchild} />
</>
)
}
I'm sorry, this is emphatically not true.

May has made several easily predictable errors in her handling of this issue. She has steadfastly refused to shift her position in response to events, has miscalculated response to her interventions repeatedly, and has spent substantial time in the past several months publicly blaming everybody but herself for this outcome.

Her political career will be over not because she was "stuck between a rock and a hard place", but because she refused to acknowledge political and technical reality. I have literally no sympathy or respect for her behaviour or position, and I genuinely struggle to see a way in which this could have been handled less competently.

I think and assume part of the process, some Nokia Phones which were only meant to sold in China, or Software that were only meant to be installed in China's version of Nokia got muddled up into International version.

If you have been following the Nokia's Android phone, you will know they have always been launching new phones in China first before making slight update or shipping exactly the same one to International Market. So it could happen this is part of the logistics and Supply Chain mistep. I am giving Nokia the benefits of doubt here. Since HMD do have many original Nokia employees, it could be an oversight.

I think she has handled this dreadfully. She should have built a parliamentary cross-party consensus on what option to pursue well before now. Her only negotiating tactic with parliament is pushing things up to the deadline and saying my deal or no deal.

Performance is often a critical feature in games.

Nobody will play a janky game and go "yeah, it's a bit rough but I'm sure the floating-point operations are done sensibly if it were to run under emulation, two console generations in the future".

Console games are not like ordinary/business applications where being 15 ms late is almost always better than tying the code to the hardware.

Depends on the events you visit, I'd say I saw a 40/40 split of ThinkPads and Macs with 20% "other" - but I know it's not really representative, as I've mostly visited smaller events focused on non-enterprise stuff, or DevOps confs, or close to the CCC. In my web dev days in small companies there were more macs though.
More importantly, a video is less accessible. I may not be in a place where I want to watch a video. It makes it an extra hurdle to pass to get to the job ad.

You first need to capture my attention with the text. Once I'm interested, I might click on the video, but if it's just a video, the only chance I'll watch it if it's the video ad I need to watch before the video I actually want to see on Youtube, and you manage to capture my attention in the first few seconds before I get the opportunity to skip the ad. That can be done, but you really need to lead with something extraordinarily cool.

According to The Economist, Feb 23, reporting on a YouGov survey in December, 49% support Remain, and that number hasn't changed much. However, the 51% who don't support Remain support a variety of different proposals. To me it seems highly unlikely that any particular proposal would beat Remain in a choice between those two options. Remain is the Condorcet winner.

That "61%" is probably about right for what would you'd get for a two-way referendum between Remain and No Deal, or between Remain and May's Deal, but if you were to repeat the Remain-Leave referendum (which would be an insane thing to do - it was madness the first time), I wouldn't be surprised if Leave would win again, by a narrow margin.

“Python is more than 2x as productive as Java in the above study.“

How about compared to a functional language like Haskell, OCaml, or F#?

I agree that we should choose productivity over performance when possible. However, Java, for example, is extremely verbose.

My impression is that people who use functional languages are quite productive.

Plus, they need fewer unit tests.

These observations have confirmed the pattern of CP violation described in the Standard Model by the so-called Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) mixing matrix, which characterises how quarks of different types transform into each other via weak interactions. The deep origin of the CKM matrix, and the quest for additional sources and manifestations of CP violation, are among the big open questions of particle physics. The discovery of CP violation in the D0 meson is the first evidence of this asymmetry for the charm quark, adding new elements to the exploration of these questions.

Even though it's not an Xcode complaint per se, the single USB-C port has been a real sticking point.

It's slower than I'd like, so I do my daily driving on a desktop, leaving it for on-the-road sorts of work, which it's capable of doing, though the screen makes dragging from storyboard to code a challenge on occasion.
> It's novel for an LED lamp, though.

Kinda? It already exists, but usually to better spread heat to the sink in high-power LED lamps (50W+, not equivalent, actual).

And my point is outlining that it's "satellite technology" is complete bullshit marketing copy.

I would expect more or less every laptop with fans[0] to use heatpipes, even for gaming / workstation laptops it hasn't made sense to stick a radiator on the CPU/GPU in a long time.

[0] apparently fanless devices don't, I guess there wouldn't be enough of a heat differential between the CPU and a hypothetical heatspreader for it to work?

>I don't really understand

Ok I get your sentiment and I agree that peaceful protest is just woefully ignored in the UK - but someone with a job and a peaceful life typically doesn't want to risk getting arrested, and potentially convicted, trying to cause trouble on a march.

Things have to be much worse before people are going to start taking that risk, and sadly, while things do not look good, the average Londoner is not yet uncomfortable enough to start doing so.

>Paris has real protests

It may not be your intent but "It's not a real protest if something doesn't burn down" is a bit unfair. If things turn violent/destructive on this march public favour will not look kindly on it in the UK.

Remember the student protests for tuition fees? Those who occupied 30 Millbank were vilified as criminals by _both_ sides. Inconvenient and disruptive for sure - but to the press they are "rioters" and to others in the movement "anarchists who don't represent us".

People have been persuaded by the powers that be that any form of non-peaceful protesting is socially unacceptable and that we should chastise it. Convenient eh? Especially because "Without a path from protest to power"[0] there is never going to be any change or acknowledgement from the government.

Any form of protest that could actually get results is a) too risky for people who are currently comfortable enough and b) intentionally socially ostracised by those in power to discourage it.

Be the change you want to see in the world? But one person in a balaclava setting things on fire isn't going to make any difference to the outcome of the protest without a critical mass of others undertaking the same behaviour for a prolonged period of time.

Things are worth millions when there's an actual buyer who'll pay millions, and that has a lot to do with things other than than the artwork per se.

I could see it ending up in a museum collection, but probably not MoMA e.g., unless he gets famous. Art collectors won't buy it unless he has a body of work that other people can buy, too. Until then he's looking at aviation/industrial model collectors and those values are way lower.

EDIT: which is perverse, yes, and I agree with the sentiments in your comment!
In summary, this Letter reports the first observation of a nonzero CP asymmetry in charm decays, using large samples of D⁰ → K⁻K⁺ and D⁰ → π⁻π⁺ decays collected with the LHCb detector. The result is consistent with, although at the upper end of, SM expectations, which lie in the range 10⁻⁴–10⁻³ [8–13]. Beyond the SM, the rate of CP violation could be enhanced. Unfortunately, present theoretical understanding does not allow very precise predictions to be made, due to the presence of strong-interaction
effects which are difficult to compute. In the next decade, further measurements with charmed particles, along with possible theoretical improvements, will help clarify the physics picture, and establish whether this result is consistent with the SM or indicates the presence of new dynamics in the up-quark sector.

from the paper (links in my other comment). SM = standard model.

Please do remember, polls prior to the referendum got it wrong then, probably still will as well.

I have found betting odd's to be far superior insight than public opinioin polls and with that, ring up a betting shop and ask them what odds they will give that the UK stays as an EU member, that should give you a fair perspective as unlike polls, any mistake they make costs them money.

But for me and many others, polls are futile and so often very very wrong as Brexit and Trump have demonstrated.
Glad to hear such a profound and sane reply. I feel this whole topic is just so heated up, I understand that, that it's hard to talk reasonable about it.

As a German I hope this will be some kind of a lesson for the whole EU and UK and we will hopefully have the UK back in the EU "soon" (don't know how long this might take).

But I think it's important to draw a line now and make a "Brexit". On the one hand to show the consequences to the UK and the other unsteady EU states who might think about using some kind of exit as a vague threat, but, more important, to show the people of the UK that their will and votes are respected. I think that's what's missing in lots of EU states (at least I feel this way for Germany), so this might really be a chance for all of us.

I get the sentiment (as a pro-Euro Brit), but surely the original referendum counts as being listened to in some way?
Can't edit anymore, but just thought a bit more about it: more or less every laptop with a fan would also be using heatpipes, especially with the "quest for thin-ness" few modern laptops can afford to put a fan and a radiator on top of a CPU, so it's always heatpipes from the chips to a radiator in some sort of motherboard indent.

If every vote in which the outcome was swayed with misdirection and untruth was invalidated, we’d have to give up on democracy completely. Every view and opinion was expressed and the electorate had plenty of opportunity to make a decision. I certainly feel I had sufficient information to make an informed choice.

I take a longer view. Democracy is a serious business and the fact the referendum decided on a specific outcome matters. Parliament agreed to hold the referendum and agreed to honour it. In the long term interests of the integrity of our nation and system of government, we should face up to and follow through on those commitments.

True, but I think the British (my brothers to the east and north) need to remember that Brexit was ultimately a popular movement. Parliamentary shenanigans played a role, and have been making a mockery of themselves since but...

Brexit was a popular vote, with neither party actually supporting it. The interest in Brexit also grew against the wishes of major parties, industries and most centres of power. A reason parliament can't manage it decently is because parliament was and is mostly against it, including May.

This is not like ip laws, where interested lobbies co-opt the parliamentary systems with as little popular involvement (or knowledge) as possible. This was/is an actual division of opinions among the people. It wasn't imposed from above.

I hope you guys stay in, or at least close but I think it needs to be done in a way that respects the other side too.
