So the benefit of being in the EU is that they're shit at basics like vaccinating people to stop them dying, but it's ok as at least they'll let you avoid taking part in that since you know they're going to be shit?
Thank you for your comment. One minor nitpick: The words app store shouldn't be capitalized because Apple does not have a trademark on that term. They have a pending trademark and when Amazon started their "AppStore" app store, Apple took them to court over it and they ended up dropping the case before it was concluded because they would have lost.

Of course your iPhone automatically capitalizes it and it's still listed as a trademark on their site because Apple is so petty.
Yes. I would assume that any service platform or services for that matter may have open ports as default and that you should place it in a private network with a proxy in front of it.

This has the potential to go off the rails very quickly.

51% of the electorate who voted 5 years ago said they wished to leave the EU. This is absolutely true.

The nuance here is that of that 51%, their reasons for voting to leave and their intended/desired future arrangement with the EU was not uniform. Some wished to maintain close ties (common market, freedom of movement, regulatory alignment etc), others wanted a clean break from everything, and a spectrum of opinion in between the two

Brexit was many things to many different people. It’s this ambiguity and room for manoeuvre in defining what exactly “Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union” is, which has been seized upon by the power-hungry, who are a minority of all Brexiteers, but a sizeable portion of the Eurosceptic MPs of the Conservative party at the time.

It appears obvious that Cameron intended the referendum to silence the eurosceptic wing of the Conservative party once and for all, as the Alternative Vote referendum did to reform of “first past the post” in the previous administration.

This backfired on him spectacularly. And he resigned immediately once the gambit failed.

It's hard to static type with DRF, even with drf-stubs package. Good luck with static typing your managers, it's impossible due to circular imports. It's easier if you add services layer but not many people like it. There's also a lib which allows you to convert db entities into dataclasses so it's easier to throw around types but it's not a "Djangoese" approach so I'd be very careful with that.

With microframeworks it's easier as you can structure your project as you like add more layers of abstraction so it's not that tightly coupled. Fe. sqlalchemy -> pydantic schema.
It is the opposite.

Browser automation tests are horrifically expensive. Unit tests are cheap if (1) you don’t let them get expensive (yesterday I wrote tests a process that needed key pairs, I genned keys once and hard coded them) and (2) the design is appropriate.

One design might be untestable. Another design might sacrifice design for flexibility. There is another design which is testable and good in other respects.

The worst cost of tests is that they take a long time to run.

The whole point of Brexit was to destroy social democracy.

All the elements of social democracy - worker rights, environmental standards, democratic representation, a welfare state - will be replaced with profiteering and spivvery.

Of course if Brexit had been sold as that, hardly anyone would have bought it.

The UK is now in a race between fascism and incompetence. Neither is a good outcome, but an economic implosion followed by popular protests might just about turn this around before protest and resistance are banned by diktat.

From another point of view the UK hasn't been a true democracy for decades. This is the country which hatched a number of coup plots against Harold Wilson, who was a rather stodgy and mainstream left-of-centre politician by European standards, but was considered a Soviet extremist by the Establishment - while that same Establishment protected insiders like Anthony Blunt who actually confessed to recruiting spies for the USSR.

Blunt had gone to the right schools, so was given immunity from prosecution. He was allowed to keep his knighthood, and continued to work - for the Queen, no less - until he retired.

If the intelligence services had had their way the public would never have been told. The story only came out in 1979 because a journalist broke it.

The UK continues to be motivated by a very strange kind of class-based nationalistic extremism. Establishment insiders get almost infinite privileges, no matter what they do or how much they damage the country, while outsiders are treated with suspicion, contempt, and abuse.

Brexit is just the latest twist in that story.

>Does that mean we need to pay each of them so much that they are effectively unbribe-able?

Why don’t we use the security clearance model? We don’t pay people that work in intelligence operations huge salaries, but we also don’t want them sell secrets to Russia. Any of them could be bribable. So we do extensive background checks and evaluate their finances, criminal record, foreign contacts, etc. for red flags. Then investigate, suspend, or revoke clearances based on any new red flags that come in. We could do a version of that for legislators. We won’t, but we could.

artickl – your agent for job searching
Hey everyone, my cofounder and I have been working on a tool to help give engineers more power in the job search process by making it easier to understand what companies recruitment process looks like, generate and manage tailored CVs more easily, and help optimise the compensation negotiation process. We're just getting started, but would really appreciate any feedback or thoughts on our landing page and value prop.

Crucially we don't want to be a jobs board or be paid for companies and turn into an automated recruiter because of misaligned incentives.

Some of the key problems we're trying to solve are:

- Opaque hiring processes

- Lack of leverage from SWEs mean companies can dictate candidates must do things like take home tests

- CVs are broken (why can I not have one "main" CV and automatically tailor that to a given job spec, or at least see where my CV is strong and weak for a given job spec)

- Generally it's a pain for me to manage job applications over 20+ potential jobs

- I don't know when I've been ghosted

We're super early days and we're looking for beta testers who are looking for jobs now or soon and can give us feedback on where we are so far, so please if you or anyone you know fit this description please let us know!

Cheers,

Cameron

> even though I was told I won't be able to

Think for a second, for fuck's sake. You could order from China, Venezuela, or Kazakhstan before. Why on earth would have been ordering something from the UK impossible?

The problem was not individuals getting their packages from Amazon.uk or M&S. The problem is that taxes are mechanically going up, that paperwork is more expensive and complicated, and that there are delays at the borders, which make exporting anything perishable a non starter.

Also, you now have to pay additional dues and taxes. This seems inconsistently applied: I have several packages from the UK who went through he border fine, but other did not. But it still is a problem when it happens, and illegal when it does not.

Also, it now takes weeks where it used to take days.

Also, a lot of things cannot be exported plain and simple if standards diverge. Which they will, otherwise the UK won't have a deal with the US.

> Maybe it will get worse but the anti-brexit campaigns at the time painted a much much more negative picture than what I am seeing.

You should not have got your points for remaining from the Telegraph. Even the Grauniad never said that nothing whatsoever would be going to cross the border.

And again, we are only 6 months in.
Well, we have to compare against the practical.

I ran single digit labor in our restaurants, and this wasn't negatively affected by the number of deliveries because drivers contribute labor elsewhere.

If you think it's more cost effective to use a delivery service in lieu of staffing, then you'll need to compare against the cost of not having that staff and the sales volume increase having delivery provides.

During the pandemic, fewer family owned restaurants shut down than corporate chains in my county. When talking with owners, each said that delivery services had at minimum doubled their average dine in revenue despite fees. It was less expensive than employing the people required to run deliveries at their volume, and less costly than if they had attempted to do it with existing staff.

You don't want to fire people in a recession or a pandemic, and this was a way that many of those businesses could keep everyone on the schedule without taking on the risk and frustration of attempting to hiring new people who might not work out (or who might have car problems on the same day) or good people who they might not have enough hours to schedule.

Also, some fees are flat, and the percentages are there to compensate. There are also minimum pre-tax totals to qualify for delivery starting around $20-30, so your scenario of $10 delivery orders doesn't apply.
This hits home. I often find myself spending extra time on something to make it more flexible. Often that flexibility is never needed. However, this is partly driven by the reverse experience. Many times I've built something with very little flexibility only to have to rebuild it or at least make a lot of changes to enable some new use case.

I can't count how many times I've asked a product owner "will this ever need to be able to do X?" and been assured that it would not, only to have X be requested months or even weeks later.

When I'm building something I focus on getting it to meet the immediate requirements, but when there are opportunities to make something more flexible/configurable/reusable without hours of extra work I take them. It's a constant balancing act.
Just because you insist on braindead reductionism doesn't mean that other people are also incapable of forming complex sentiments. Even the most abhorrent hatred can be examined for its core lie.

How Billionaire Rebekah Neumann Put the Woo-Woo in WeWork
A few observations: we don't yet know how to perform long-term qbit storage, so all multi-day storage at present is classic bits.

If the proposal is to hash all of the possible lattice points using irreversable computation on Earth in a reasonable amount of time, for a cryptographically useful lattice, the waste heat would literally boil the oceans. That's limitation doesn't hold for quantum computers, but results need to be converted into classic bits for storage. Presumably rainbow-table-like operations could reduce the storage space and waste heat necessary in storing these bits. Maybe quantum rainbow tables are a fruitful area of research.

If we're not pre-hashing all possible lattice points, then either we has the public value and we have some heuristic that allows us to hash only some small subset of lattice points for this particular value (... but then why use a hash? ... just compare points in your heuristic sequence) or we have some inverse hash operation where we hash the public value, then explore the "un-hash space" of lattice points corresponding to the LSH for the point in question.

This last general line of inquiry (trying to find search-space reducing heuristics) is probably where most of the research effort is going, though perhaps not specifically using LSH. In order to be useful for the lattice problem, the distance metrics for the input and output spaces of the LSH need to have specific relations to the lattice distance metric.

So... yea... maybe it helps to re-cast the problem in terms of LSH, but not in any obvious way. Also, any search-space reducing heuristic could probably be re-interpreted as a LSH if you squint at it hard enough.

You're awfully arrogant for someone who has no clue in how to properly architect systems.

If you're using Kubernetes then it's very common to have a service mesh in a Production environment to enforce certain safeguards e.g. mutual TLS and provide circuit breaking, auditing, logging etc. In which case MongoDB would be running on localhost.

If you're not using Kubernetes then it's also common to have some form of middleware to achieve the same as above e.g. HAProxy, F5. Again, in which case MongoDB would be running on localhost.
