Brexit was sold to different people as different things. You're right for some people but you're missing a much bigger voter block: the lazy and jealous.

A shit tonne of brits haven't done much with their lives. They've just sat and grumbled that their job doesn't pay enough (while refusing to work harder or change employer or get a qualification).

At the same time, for the last 30 years anyone who worked hard, invested, got skills, started businesses etc has been rewarded.

The first group are really upset they're being left out. That's why you get all this talk about mysterious "elites".

The first group voted for brexit to fuck with people just trying to get on. They're actually very pleased that those companies are struggling and their workers are suffering. The first group would never have started a small business exporting to the EU. They'd have stayed in the pub moaning over stale lager.

This is result (and many more to come) is exactly what many brexiteers wanted and voted for: a fuck you for trying hard.
In Britain, Humanism was an early 20th century movement to try to bridge between the social benefits of church to - what was increasingly obvious to most people - the fallacies of legacy Christian doctrines.

It wasn't a total failure, but humanism never reached the mainstream.
Your right - where this comes most in to play is that the wine isn’t stationary. Every time you pour, which will happen more often with a magnum, you encourage interaction between the wine and atmosphere.
China successfully blocked the sale of NXP to Qualcomm, as said in the article. Neither company was Chinese.
I don't miss shoving myself into a q train to stand there with no excess space for 40 minutes despite the fact that I got through a lot of podcasts that way. Especially in winter, where everyone is wearing jackets, the train gets super hot and you're just sweating next to some guy who won't take his damn backpack off. Oh, train traffic ahead. Great - now my commute's an hour.

I do miss the view in the morning and evening crossing the Manhattan bridge, though. That was nice.
Meh, the Monarchy has no power it’s just a ceremonial position, and as for the lords yes the process of becoming one is not great (it is no longer hereditary however) but it actually is a bit useful these days and many in the upper house are genuinely experts on some aspects of policy and do provide some valuable input.

I don’t think you can really compare with the American system where you elect a de-facto king every 4 years...
Apparently not everyone gets it, seeing that many are arguing against it, and every time this subject lands there are many ignorant users that say “Just upgrade your code.” as if that be free.
And the opposite -- tons of little unimportant scripts sitting around that add a lot of value as a whole, but just aren't worth devoting to rewriting on a whim of poor decision making skills of the Python developer team....

I have Python code dating back to when I was an undergrad. It's sad to see the Python team decide to nuke that. My C code from then (mostly) runs fine still.

The team decided to externalize a massive cost on its community without much benefit. That was sad to see at the time, and it continue to be sad to see.
I'm not aware of how good the clients worked at the time, but I believe there still are some features that were developped in the meantime that were not there:

- privacy in general, with asynchronous e2ee with forward secrecy and minimization of metadata

- reactions. They might sound childish but they're a good way of acknowledging something without polluting the chat itself

- proper support of files, including easy display of all media and search

- probably the biggest: voice/video calls. "Some support" clearly wasn't good enough.

Now it's a really hard place for Pidgin to sit in, because it can only follow what the protocols do, not push them to do more or to standardize.
Sorry, by “independent servers” I meant self hosting / on prem. And while that hasn’t gone away entirely it has diminished massively as companies deprecate on prem hardware as hardware ages and replaces those resources with cloud services.

Stuff like NFS made sense for on prem but it’s a terrible solution for building services on AWS (for example).

Security wise, any popular CMS will be a security nightmare. It’s not even a PHP thing. In an ideal world you’d stick your CMS behind a WAF and put some additional policies around your admin APIs (if at all possible). Wordpress, for all of its warts, actually made those parts easy to do.
It begs the question, irregardless of whether we want to maximalize understanding or minimilize confusion.
Re: Dependencies - There are at least two well known, well supported, rock solid ways of managing dependencies that are in very common use in the python deployment world.

Some combination of requirements.txt (which lets you dial in, with great precision, each of the libraries you need, and is trivially created in < 50msec with "pip freeze")

1. Containers - That's it. You control everything in it.
2. virtualenv - Every environment comes their own version of python and their own set of packages and versions of those packages. Add virtualenvwrappers and you can create/switch trivially between them.

It's been at least 2 years since I've run into a issue with python and dependencies that wasn't solved by both of those approaches.
Aha, I see. Well, extremism is a relative term, depending on environment. In certain cryptocurrency circles I'm sure your stance is normal, in society at large it's rather extreme though, as is equating "kill everyone who doesn't agree with me" with government action in any way.

The problem with this line of argument from my point of view is you oppose and obstruct highly needed government action on principle, without providing an alternative solution. The plan to offer billionaires a new start on other planets doesn't count as an alternative, sorry.

But as mentioned before, if you have an alternative solution to the problem of the constantly accumulating toxins in the environment that subtracts government action from the equation up your sleeve, I'm all ears.
My understanding was that Apple already reimplemented large parts of the IP and that they are now mostly a licensee of the ISA.
I think MicroPython already claimed that place.
2to3 needs manual assistance. Most projects couldn't drop Python 2 right away.
For the character mappings, it might be useful to have a look at the config for https://tatoeba.org (or rather, the PHP script that generates the config): https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/blob/dev/src/Shell/Sphin...

There's one big list of mappings for almost every script under the sun, including Greek. (With mappings like 'U+1F08..U+1F0F->U+1F00..U+1F07' turning U+1F08 Ἀ [CAPITAL ALPHA WITH PSILI] into U+1F00 ἀ [SMALL ALPHA WITH PSILI], and the same for seven other accented alphas. I've considered turning them all into unaccented alpha instead, but I don't know enough about Greek orthography to decide that.) https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/blob/3170f7326ad2939c691...

For Latin, there are some special exceptions so that "GAIVS IVLIVS CAESAR" and "Gaius Julius Caesar" are treated the same: https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/blob/3170f7326ad2939c691...

It's not beautiful, but it's used in production. People who don't need to support quite as many languages as Tatoeba will probably want a simpler config, but it might still be useful as a reference.
Small nitpick: I think the verb in this context is "bathe", bath is the place. One of those "joys" of learning English as a second language.
> Among Christians it’s also common to interpret it as recognising that going against the “will” of this force that created us (concretely natural selection as well as however the universe and life of earth came to be) will bite you in the arse, such as rejecting family (life) for vanity for example.

This is just one of the possible interpretations. If you are a Christian then you believe the New Testament has a priority over the Old one, and you know that someone already asked Jesus the question what is most important, and the reply was, briefly, "love". So, logically, if you follow love (not fear!) in your life, trying to be kind to others and helping them within your means, this should be understood as living perfectly within the spirit of the teaching of Christ, even if you have nothing to do with any Church.
What are the issues with using docker to solve this problem ?
The loupedeck you mention looks very interesting! I just found https://petapixel.com/2017/06/12/going-open-source-make-loup... which is rather interesting on using a MIDI controller for photography editing which I'm going to look into further, as the loupedeck is a bit pricey for me at the moment.

The photos you linked are really impressive, I'm curious how you managed such large DoF with the macro shots. I've only used macro rings before but found the DoF very shallow, do you use a tilt-shift lens out of interest?
> what this does in practice is that these companies will likely no longer provide videogames at discounted prices for countries with lower purchasing power

Do you have any examples of this? Valve didn't lower the price for low income regions out of the kindness of their heart, they did it because otherwise nobody from those regions would buy the product at all. In cases of price discrimination like this it's the high income consumer that gets screwed over. Without it Valve has no choice but to offer the same low price, doing anything else would just reduce their revenue further.
>irregardless

That's not a word, ironically enough.
> The Python developers chose to sacrifice backwards compatibility.

And it is quite clear that that choice was not based on accurate estimates and insights.

The original e.o.l. was laughably short and then had to be doubled. It was quite clear they based their choice on the assumption that consumers would have all switched to e at a time when 2 was still used by 80%.

They made that choice based on what can only be seen as complete ignorance of the cost of rewriting software.

Right now, the biggest reason to drop Python 2 for most serious consumers is not any of the improvements that Python 3 brings, but that it is e.o.l..
There was a fine article about how to properly deprecate an API yesterday, so perhaps the same guidance applies?

Track usage, set deprecation headers (air quotes?), update documentation (might take a while), etc.
Paradoxically, I think one of the reasons companies will go back to the office is because a lot of administrative staff has been shown to be completely unnecessary in work from home environments.

There are systems of great social and political power in administrative staffing and they don't want to be cut out, so they'll push to go back to the office. It's happened in a lot of places already.
It doesn't feel off to me. As others have discussed in considerable detail, operating in a lot of countries worldwide is a lot more complex than it intuitively seems to be, and the complexity scales superlinearly.

I suspect they might be a few percent overstaffed, but I don't think that hurts a company focusing on growth over all else, and I don't think it's even all that uncommon for such companies. It wouldn't surprise me to see a round or two of layoffs once that growth tops out, but it would surprise me if they added up to more than 10% of headcount.
Raumschiff der Exploriens im Bau
It was even worse in Indonesia. Once I realize how far behind we were in general computer news & information, I literally mailed USD$ 100 to Ziff-Davis' office

That's how I got my monthly PC Magazine subscription (this was when they were the best magazine about PC)

Also good technical books were practically non-existent

I got my first Assembly and Norton's book from a bookstore specializing in bootleg copies

Only years later I began to be able to buy good books

Things are so much better now, thankfully
> I don't think that everyone that is entirely opposed to government-based solutions to the problem (or even entirely opposed to the concept of a government or a state in general) is a "hardline extremist".

It sort of does though... for the purpose of this discussion the spectrum runs from: all-government-regulated to all-individually-accomplished.
So basically falling into either extreme of the spectrum (which by definition declines any other mid-point solution) is exactly the definition of “hardline extremist”.

Arguing otherwise seems to me more like you haven’t made your peace with it.

...in my personal opinion such views still have a very valid role to play in the discussion, but any successful solution will lie somewhere in the middle.
Neat idea. Do you have a video demo somewhere?
Government regulation is precisely the thing that accelerates societal change. It's maybe the sharpest tool for that. Remember CFCs and the ozone layer? If you manage to point a government in the right direction it's a juggernaut. The problem is that by design it's hard to steer.
Depends what long means. A 2 hour commute each way is still going to be that day you dread even if it's just once a week. What seems a more common scenario in my experience is that people get together for a few days meetings maybe once a month and people who aren't local fly in.
> performance of wordpress is excellent if you dont have many plugins

Even without plugins, WP performance will start to degrade due to how it handles post "meta" data. As the wp_postmeta table grows larger in size, it will generate longer running queries as it tries to query against non-indexed key + values. At a certain point, your only option is to start modifying WP core code and the DB tables for your specific needs...which at that point, the poor software architecture becomes an enormous problem. Granted most small blogs will never see these kinds of issues since they will never reach these inflection points, but they needlessly exist none the less.
To some those words have a hurtful meaning. You may consider them irrational, but they would consider you irrational.

Why. Maybe you're comforted by the thought that your experience was not abnormally privileged, but it was.
October CMS: https://octobercms.com/
A rather large number of companies have discovered suddenly that the overhead of exporting to the EU from a third-country position makes it far less effective to make direct sales to EU countries. This seems pretty obvious if you're familiar with the structure of international trade – but many businesses don't have expertise in this area.

One of the major goals of the EU is the reduction of this red tape, but the UK government spent a lot of time making a political argument about how everything would still be fine. Businesses obviously had to work with that advice. Now that the barriers are there and real, it's been a bit of a shock. This is particularly true for sectors like food products, which now require health and biosecurity checks (which are expensive!).

One of approaches to compensate for this to some extent is to ship products in bulk to distribution centres or similar facilities within the EU – this reduces the per-shipment overhead. But obviously this means you move staff and investment to the EU, and the UK loses out on employment and tax revenue.

The whole thing means it just becomes much less attractive to import from, and export to, the EU. That translates in the long term to a dark on the UK economy. Baffling as an economic decision, but politics seems to defy practicality in the UK these days.
> it's a horrible prospect to not expect to make friends at work

But I already do have friends, and I see no reason to replace them with my current coworkers.

For me, a horrible prospect is that a corporation could hold my social network hostage, so that if they fire me, I not only lose my income, but also my support group, on the same day.

(I am not opposed in principle to finding a friend among my colleagues, if we happen to click on the personal level. But I am not going to force it; my standards are quite strict. It happened twice in my life, and we meet regularly despite no longer working together. They have been upgraded from the "colleague" level to the "friend" level.)
I believe the entire comment was tongue-cheeked.
A plan that was not "let's screw the EU from the inside to our advantage".

Can't find that interview from a Norway official or EEA representatives that basically said "Hell no, we don't want you to screw up our relationship with the EU like you did. You are toxic.".

I wonder what polls are saying about how Europeans see the UK right now.

edit: found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=189&v=tsyudJFE8DA

edit2: just found again this interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtNr4z3YrYo in which Farage says the UK will be (I think he meant remain) a member of the EEA on Brexit day. It didn't since they were only member by virtue of being a member of the European Union.
A bit like @newscracker, I'm on the lookout for a messaging app that works for me. @motohagiography addresses the privacy claims by asking good privacy for what.

I've discussed nothing on a conf/video call or exchanged messages that are so sensitive as to absolutely require encryption. There are no absolutes in security anyway. Sorry, but I'm sublimely unparanoid at my national government reading my emails. While I could probably be accused of being a member of the metropolitan elite (c.f. suburban-bourgeoise), I've never said in real life or written online anything to threaten anyone.

Instead, @Barrin92 argues that the concern is leakage to allow corporate use of that data. I agree with the concern, but contend that regulation is the answer. I don't believe I've received targeted ads based on the content of my inbox, yet my inbox arrives over unencrypted SMTP. A special case can't be claimed for messaging. The problem isn't weak regulation, the problem is that messaging apps are largely in the hands of few -- and not interoperable.

Jabber and SIP aren't in the hands of a single company and for me, the direction of travel has to be federated across autonomous providers along the lines of interoperability.

I haven't tackled any of my acquaintances about it but suspect that the remainers from the defection from WhatsApp that Facebook provoked include a fair number that take a "out of the frying-pan and into the fire" or "better the devil you know" stance moreso than inertia.

There isn't money in it in the sense of the unwelcome TeleGuard HN spam. But, rather than banging-on about encryption, espionage, and elites, what those with the resources need to do is to use them to help democratise messaging.
To suggest that inequality is due to people being lazy is not supported by the facts. Opportunity is not equally distributed and there’s a reason many people felt left behind.
“Men are evil.” can also refer to humans in general.

I just searched for the phrase and it's about half split between either meaning from context inference. Yet, the meaning pertaining to the species is mostly from discussions by educated philosophers, and the other one are annoying identity politics arguments about why one's North American dating life is disappointing, — not exactly the audience I am ever interested in reaching, frankness be.

I feel like you’re disagreeing with a pointlessly weak version of the comment you’re replying to.

It seems a bit like you are describing university as something only about learning and ignoring the social aspects of it. I strongly disagree.

Firstly let me say that what you have written implies that university merely puts you through some lectures (and maybe some exams and gives you a bit of paper at the end), and you complain that you could learn things better yourself. It would be cynical to think that university is just a book but worse yet necessary for the credential and I will assume that this is not what you think.

As universities are different, let me say what teaching mine provided to frame what I will write below. We began with everyone taking the same courses and over later years there was more choice. Teaching was done with lectures, occasional small group workshops, homework, and 1-on-2 sessions going over that homework. Attendance to lectures (or other teaching) was not required although it was encouraged and assessment was done in exams which included questions from all courses so one didn’t need to commit to certain courses in particular.

While self study was important I think the two key things provided by the university were the small group teachings which gave expert feedback, and discussion with one’s peers which provided non-expert feedback, good sources of inspiration and ideas for things to try, and discussions to build a better understanding. I think this aspect would be hardest to replicate remotely.

The other social aspect was also important: unlike school, you’re no longer surrounded by people who don’t really want to be there and it is an environment where people are particularly similar without all having the same goal. If you go to a sports club, social interactions will be mostly dominated by the interest in the sport. I don’t think it’s a good substitute for socialising with students of other subjects at university.

The least important social aspect was going to lectures although I think it provides a more informal setting than a book to see how the sausage is made (or rather to watch it being made on the blackboard in front of you.)
I'm pretty angry with the first group for doing this to the country. I've had to get an EU passport as it was vital to keeping my domains as a consequence. I shall keep fighting until the day the UK reconnects.
