I mean, the temptation is to say "this is just posturing by someone who's getting their few weeks as a minister, it'll never come in, no need to worry about it". But it's worth noting that another thing that started off as posturing was Brexit (at the time Cameron promised a vote, a Tory majority would have seemed rather implausible, so really it was just electioneering). The Tories have a track record of accidentally backing themselves into a corner and having to do the silly thing they talked about.

Great, another country with different set of rules that developers need to think about instead of focusing on doing actual work.

Bring in more countries with different set of rules, and lots of technological development will be blocked because of trying to deal with different laws instead of the creative freedom and time to do actual work in good ol' free web.

https://www.cvedetails.com/product/25084/Haxx-Curl.html?vend...

Instead of only "thinking a lot about text-based browsers", I have been actively using them on a daily basis for the past 26 years.

Links already uses ncurses. I am glad that it does not use libcurl and that it has its own "bespoke" HTML rendering. In over 25 years time, I still have yet to see any other program produce better rendering of HTML tables as text. I have had few if any problems with Links versions over the years. I am quite good at "breaking" software and for me Links has been quite robust. The source code is readable for me and I have been able to change or "fix" things I do not like, then quickly recompile. I can remove features. Recently I fixed a version of the program so that a certain semantic link would not be shown in Wikipedia pages. No "browser extension" required.

Links' rendering has managed to keep up with the evolution of HTML and web design sufficiently for me. Despite the enormous variation in HTML acrosse the www, there are very few cases where the rendering is unsatisfactory.^1 I cannot say the same for other attempts at text-only clients. W3C's libwww-based line-mode browser still compiles and works,^2 although I would not be satisifed with its rendering. Nor would I be satisfied with edbrowse, or something simpler such as mynx.^3

I use Links primarily for reading and printing HTML. I use a variety of TCP clients for making HTTP requests, including djb's tcpclient which I am quite sure beats libcurl any day of the week in terms quality, e.g., the programming skill level of the author and the care with which it was written. This non-libcurl networking code is relatively small and does not need oss-fuzz. I do not intentionally use libcurl. It is too large and complex for my tastes. For TLS, I mainly use stunnel and haproxy.

You can sue them for monetizing your content and giving someone else the money. Even if their ToC says they can do whatever they want doesn't mean they actually can.
Honestly, you could remove the resignation, the chaos, the summer holidays (over a month off is a bit rich, but thats another matter), all of these details, and I'd still doubt they'd ever happen.

Remember when the plan was simply to add ID checks to adult websites, and how 2 years later that still didn't happen? If they couldnt get something that unambitious through, in years that were, relative to now, fairly stable, theres no chance they'd get this monster of a bill through. And thats before you add in all those bonus factors you mentioned.

OSX window management is...horrendous. I want to be able to have two monitors and simply (with a keypress) move a window to either screen, or to use half of a given screen. Both windows and Linux WMs get this right. In OSX you have (or had last time I tried) two "fullscreen" buttons. One blue button, which maybe made it full screen, but most often just filled the height. Cause it decided that you wanted to see 3cm of the desktop background.... And then some apps, but not all, had a little arrow on the right which made it super-fullscreen! But then it made a virtual desktop, and screw whatever you had on the other screen. And using anything but the mouse? Lol forget it.

I see I sound like I want a flamewar. I don't. I want to buy the M2, but first be told that apple has fixed its shitty UX since last time I tried:-P
> For instance there is/was no need to inspect any items coming from UK into the EU, since the general assumption is that the standards are still the same as they were pre-brexit, so they don't need to be treated like coming from a country like China or India.

This was never assumed under the current deal; the UK was given a grace period, which has now expired, before full enforcement, but on day one it was clear that inspection and/or barring of some goods (particularly food) would be necessary.
There's a good chance that Liz Truss will be our next PM. Which, coupled with the opinion polls on the Conservatives makes me believe that there's a good chance that Labour will win the next election. This I think could lead to a referendum to rejoin the EU, which I think would probably win. This is likely to lead to the UK reforming those EU links.
I don't see how they could be better off than us in any of the following dimensions, or the ones you mention, and likely many more:

* Health/medical technology and access

* Abundance and variety of food

* Education

* Life expectancy

* Quality (in terms of health) of life

* Child mortality

Looking at life expectancy alone, I'd be surprised if their life expectancy was higher (is this what you had in mind? https://sc.edu/uofsc/announcements/2014/05_sharondewitte_bla...). Certainly some individuals would live longer lives than some individuals, but I wouldn't expect the life expectancy to be higher, nor would I expect the quality of health of that life to be better.

In some ways I could imagine they'd be better -- e.g., amount of land they could own. If you have some data or information about their life quality, I would be interested in seeing it.

Regarding Rawls' veil, I did say, and do think, that we should be ensuring that everyone gets brought along. For someone who isn't convinced about that, the veil may be a good thought experiment to help them along.

Of course the client may be really dumb! Here is a 1930s teletype used as a Linux terminal:

In the United States. Other counties have limits.
Yeah. And that totally clueless person SOMEHOW found how to install a 3rd party app store on her phone and she was able to successfully configure it as well.

The argument doesnt make sense. The user is either tech savvy or not tech savvy.

...

And even more: You people talk as if that doesnt happen today. Nobody will try to scam anyone by creating an entire freaking APP STORE while they can just phish them by sending them an email to get their credit card numbers and whatever data they can collect.

And further: Today anti-virus software is capable of detecting and preventing most of those scams already. We are not in mid 2000s. Anti virus software will not disappear with the appearance of 3rd party app stores. So the problem does not even make sense to be considered a problem.

It just feels like some of you people (i mostly saw Americans) are SO mentally hostage to your corporations that you really defend the indefensible.
> A global pandemic caused the lockdown

No. A global pandemic caused disease and death. Governments imposed lockdowns.

> Largely due to the expansion of the welfare state which encourages single motherhood.

That's a wild claim. I highly doubt many women choose to have a kid on their own (with all the physical and mental stress that brings, not to mention time and money spent) only or mainly because they won't starve to death with their kid thanks to some welfare.
I won't have when my bank decides their crappy app is better than Apple Pay, when an app I rely on decides to leave the app store, etc.
Sure, I can find another bank/app, but I use the ones I use because they have the best conditions/features/etc for me, which others may not have. Or I can't even switch, because the app in question is required for work/public transit etc.

Sadly it's not really that simple (speaking as someone who has shipped JUCE apps on iOS and Android) – sure, the code might compile on every platform, but in reality there are still a bunch of other factors that can make stuff not work, or perform badly, or complicated to test, or whatever. I suspect really it's that companies are not willing to do the testing or support required to say they support Linux.

Whilst thats true, Brexit was monumentally bigger and had a lot more public support. If there were a GE now and the tories silently dropped this from their manifesto, I doubt many people would notice or care.

I've heard a few people saying things like "something should be done", but nobody outside of tech circles (and even many people within it) I've spoken to supports this bill, in fact none of them have even heard of it.
i really don't want to have to learn 12342384 programs. it's much less discoverable than having a few programs with a --help (and more generally a tree-based organization of functionality on your computer).

also, if there's a new program, say, "fastrepeat" wouldn't that be a duplication of functionality between "yes" which just outputs "y" and "fastrepeat 'y'" which is, like, even more bloat since now you need both ?

They used to be the wise and perfidious grownups in the geostrategic room, but now it's all about squalid, petty things like Brexit, Scottish secession, anti-immigration; British political extremes are thriving and the middle is dead as mutton. They've lost their soft-power by the bucketful; people who used to beg for their wise counsel now ignore them. What do they want -- to be Airstrip One for any creep with a trailer-truck full of cash?

I meant like the processing equipment fucks off and starts spilling product on the floor and the half crippled janitor has to struggle to turn it off while everyone else looks on because they're on their lunch break so it's not their problem. And then they all give the one fork lift driver who stops to help clean it up the stink eye. Or the front end loader operator who leaves at exactly 5pm rather than staying the extra 10min to complete the task at hand on the Friday before a long weekend leaving the people he was supporting to do a ton of less efficient work with a different machine causing his coworkers to not leave until 7pm because they were actually responsible for finishing the task. Both those are examples from real life BTW. And in both cases management wanted to chew the people being selfish jerks out but because of the rigidly defined job requirements as a result of the various agreements with the union nothing would have come of it so they didn't get chewed out. That's the kind of toxic "not my job" attitude that unions provide a heck of a lot of cover for.

Frankly I think it's moronic that people don't realize that just because something benefits the company doesn't mean it doesn't also benefit your coworkers.
The same reason people pay $700 for a samsung phone instead of an iphone. They know windows and some may not like apple but most just go to the store and get what is there. I looked to buy an apple product last year and went to every store I could find nearby including walmart, target and microcenter. Bestbuy and the apple store were closed because of covid at the time. None had an apple laptop to sell me let along an M1/2. Apple would make a lot more money if it sold at more retail stores but they make too much money I guess?
> Chess, in theory, with absolutely perfect play, is a draw.

Even the best human players are nowhere near perfect play.

Chess engines have proven that even players that are 1000 Elo stronger than the best players alive today can lose. Just look at how each new version of Stockfish absolutely trounces the previous version.

Stockfish 7, released 6 years ago, is nearly 500 Elo weaker than the newest version, Stockfish 15.[0] That's the difference between Carlsen and the weakest grandmasters.

Need an excuse when you miss targets.
I consider task estimation as part of Sprint Planning an interesting domain, as multiple people in a team with potentially vastly different experience levels and skills are involved.

MacIver points out "if you’re doing sprint planning, and you absolutely have to do it through estimating individual tasks", give three point estimates a try. Here is the Wiki entry for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_estimation

I guess explicitly recording the best-case and worst-case estimates might be interesting.

As if Brexit wasn't enough damage already; there is always another opportunity for the UK to isolate itself even further if they are keen.

Europe - with 300 million people - can set new standards that others have to implement. The UK, or what will be left of it, not so much.

But the really disturbing thing about the UK is that there are many people in power to whom human rights are less important than "souvereignty". UK experts have lamented for a long time the backwards looking whining and longing for the UK's past glory (ironically, the same backward orietation is what made Russia go to war - glorifying and trying to restore USSR times).

>as a result of that, the world's population has been growing and growing

At first yes, but not recently, now the opposite is true, if anything. We haven't had exponential growth since the 60s and are currently headed towards a steady state population because of improved standards of living. Turns out health and properity leads to smaller families.

We do still have significant growth, but that is largely because we're filling out the older demographics in many countries, the birth rate is largely under control already, and once the current generations spread through we'll be in a stead state (around 11 billion). In fact, there's no way to _stop_ this growth now, short of killing or sterilising people, since the birthrate is already under control, we're just waiting for the last exponential generations to get old.

see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LyzBoHo5EI

Long term, we probably should encourage (slightly) sub-2 children per family to let the total population shrink, but that will take a long time (unless something disasterous happens)

The thing with high-performance x86 is that it is not really an microcoded design. The CPU is RISC-like OoO thing that can execute some pretty substantial subset of x86 ISA after some simple conversion (ie. to some fixed-width format). Thus it makes sense for such design to not have separate microcode sequencer but run the "microcode" that emulates instructions that are not directly supported through the same execution engine (with the low-level "micro" ISA having extensions to manipulate the CPU state that is not directly modifiable by user code, like filling TLBs and changing shadow descriptors).
