If you were British, you'd remember that these are the same people who assured the population that simply voting to leave would trigger a massive recession that'd destroy half a million jobs in the best case, before leaving actually happened, just due to "uncertainty".

They were completely wrong. Not just wrong by magnitude, but wrong in the wrong direction. The economy boomed.

This sort of report was written by civil servants who hate Brexit and want it to die, for ministers who hate Brexit and were looking for reasons to cancel it all together. It has no credibility, simple as that.

Many British people do remember this, and have watched for the last three years as their political leadership mendaciously manipulate things as hard as they can to try and avoid doing what they said they'd do. That's why polls show "no deal" to be significantly more popular than, for example, the opposition party taking over.

> student without private health insurance(which was only added as a requirement after I started my studies)

As I understand it, that was always a requirement due to the wording of the treaties (or regulations / directives).

It is just that UK government hadn't previously highlighted that they viewed NHS entitlement as not counting as "medical insurance".

There is supposed to be an ongoing dispute with the Commission over this point.

Not always - when you want to document the requirements (in whatever format), having them be separate from the code is often a plus. The code might implement the requirements incorrectly, so being able to recognise that is important.

I find this very similar to writing tests that are separate from your implementation. In fact, Cucumber/BDD tests try to make product requirements executable to validate the software has been written correctly to meet the requirements.
That's a huge long-running mess. The EU rules on free movement are written around the assumption that health care is insurance-based, and contain a rule stating that people must either be employed or have "comprehensive sickness insurance" in order to exercise that right for more then three months. This clashes badly with the UK's unique setup of healthcare for all that's free at the point of use. Other EU countries with "universal healthcare" are set up as state-run insurance schemes where you must either be employed or claiming one of a specific set of benefits to have healthcare, and this works fine with the EU rules - they can just charge an insurance fee to students from other EU states. Non-EU nationals residing in the UK pay a similar surcharge to fund their use of the NHS, but EU nationals can't be charged that because it technically isn't insurance. The European Commission's interpretation of the rules is that the NHS counts as comprehensive sickness insurance and every EU national who moves here should be able to get free healthcare forever even if they don't pay a penny; this would be fine if it wasn't for the fact that we're basically the only EU state that has to do this!

The right to permanent residence after five years is then restricted to "Union citizens and their family members who have resided in the host Member State in compliance with the conditions laid down in this Directive during a continuous period of five years".

> Of course no school would do that because it would be a nightmare.

In France if you are a dorm resident in high school you do have such mandatory "schoolwork" classes. You start with a mandatory 10 hours (IIRC) of classes of study that you have to do each week. These are done in specific rooms at specific times, but you can choose when to go (usually there is one hour open during lunch period and 2 to 3 hours in the evenings).

Depending on your grades the amount of mandatory hours goes up or down. If you are good enough it can go down to zero. When I was in high school these hours were largely enough to finish all homework, including the mandatory reading assignments.
In the U.S., if you're lucky enough to have decent health care, you will usually see a general physician of your choice regularly. The idea is that your doctor over time understands your medical history, lifestyle, etc. better than a doctor seeing you for the first time. Ideally, you develop trust and follow your doctor's advice, and maybe your doctor notices changes in your health in time to prevent the worst of an illness.

People will also develop regular relationships with specialists if they need them for a chronic condition or something like that.
I do love the technical parts of the discussion here but do allow a slightly different perspective: You say it is for a client and you (presumably) can bill the client for this extra service. That being the case, aren't you better off using a commercial solution like others mentioned below (CrashPlan/rsync etc) and charge the client for the same? This way you have a level of support and accountability than being liable for everything that can go wrong with the hacks.

I would, of course, encourage your quest for a hackable Wireless SSD for your personal projects :-)

The fact that it works doesn't mean it's good code. A switch statement should not be used like that IMAO because every developer just like the author is confused by first sight. Readability is an extremely important part of good code.

Very true, then somebody else ends up maintaining the code and gets a ticket to add this feature and chaos plays out.

One thing I learned early on - true and false vary across platforms. Hence I learned to define true and false at the start of the code with realTrue=(1=1) and realFalse=(1=0). As some systems have 1 or any positive value as true, some have -1 as true. It can get messy, bit like endians (big or little) the same holds true for true and false.

If you do the substitution as you suggest and then add a unit test, then you have something ;-) Something on the lines of "describe countries with sales tax dependent upon the days of the week => Kerplakistan doesn't have sales tax on Mondays" So now it's self documented and self testing.

But I agree with your statement that there should be a pointer to the business rules somewhere. Otherwise it's difficult to have a meeting with the business side and ask, "Has anything here changed?" I think that's the biggest thing people miss out -- It's not that hard to find the thing in the code if things change. It's super hard to make sure you are on top of all the business requirement changes.

For what it’s worth, I have been able to get the Yggdrasil Network (https://yggdrasil-network.github.io) to peer over AWDL, allowing nearby Macs to mesh without even being connected to the same Wi-Fi network, or any network at all.

It’s not perfect - there are trade offs, like how the wireless performance is reduced somewhat when AWDL is active due to channel hopping and how AWDL expects a single node to play the role of clock sync source. It’s also not very well tested yet.

However, it works and in theory it allows an infrastructure-free IPv6 mesh network to be built ad-hoc.

> Of course it is US-centric, the post is from a US newspaper.

What is your point? Whether this is a US-centric or global issue seems like valuable information for the discussion. If it really is a US-centric problem, the solution, for the US, might be to look outward at other countries. If it were a global issue, we'd all have to look into our past to find a solution. It is important to know the scale of the problem don't you think?
I think you have to find a couple of possible co-founders, evaluate who you want and who wants to join, and have a frank discussion with them about an equity split.

It's really hard to recommend in the general because you might find a co-founder who brings so much to the table (money, skills, relationships, experience) that they deserve 50% or more) and you might find one that only brings technical skills in which case the amount might be much much less (15-35%).

It's really all a negotiation, but you can't figure it out until you know who is interested in joining. Maybe no one will be and all this discussion will be for naught.
Moreover, some archives were destroyed a) to prevent them from being captured during the war, especially in the 1941 defense of Moscow, and b) to cover up whatever the leaders considered too sensitive later. This second portion also includes docs relating to post-WW2 events like the Totskoye nuclear exercise [0], destroyed decades after the fact because "the archives ran out of space".

I typically code in c and c#, and have been told by older engineers that it's important to avoid early returns because they can be confusing, especially when skimming through the code.

I kind of see what he's talking about. It seems like it's a little easier to reason with the code and easier to set breakpoints sometimes.

All that's to say: I'm curious as to why early returns would be better in JS.

I've started to make a Tron clone where the playing field is a polyhedron instead of a plane[1] but as usual with my projects it's been lying around unfinished in a corner for quite a while now.

There is also a puzzle game about creating clones that repeat player movements starting with their first[2]. It was created for a game jam together with one other person and has also not been touched since then, although we agreed that it might be worth polishing.

Did you realize what an important year 2016 was numerically? It was the 4th iteration of 504. The Abundance of 2016 is 2520 which is also the 5th iteration of 504. The only year in the 20th century to have a higher Abundance was 1980; an Abundance of 2592. Coincidentally (?) 1980 and 2016 were election years in the United States; the first in which Ronald Reagan was elected (for better or worse) and of course we know who was elected in 2016.

> Holding millions of EU nationals hostage is a grossly immoral way to do that.

Firstly, there will be accommodations for existing EU immigrants, read the actual government website and not some jumped up news article [1].

Secondly, I agree holding people hostage is immoral, but you're conveniently forgetting the Irish backstop clause.

> And it's not likely to be effective either.

Thirdly, the idea of negotiations is that both sides have something the other side wants to negotiate about. So far negotiations have been very one-sided, with the UK wanting to continue negotiations and the EU cutting it off completely (hence May submitting the same deal three times to parliament despite demands made to change it). The idea of having a large stick is not having to using it, but sometimes it's needed to encourage the donkey to move.
