It wasn't his job to manipulate the public into voting against it, nor was he able to do so. It was his job to present his honest opinion and he did.

If you want somebody to blame you need to look at the British media barons. Lord Rothermere, etc. They were the ones who manipulated two rather pathetic warring tribes into existence and played them both like puppets against each other.
Fascinating. I guess everyone has had that experience of "hey how does that guy never f*ck up his exams?". To an extent I was that guy in high school. In uni I wasn't, but I knew people who seemingly always got top marks. I guess everyone hits a wall at some point.
Children in the UK are born without parents, so it's a valid point by OP.
No you've misunderstood my point. This doesn't work for cases where one child is in fact a property that is a complex object.

XML claims to solve the problem of attributes vs children but then falls short at the first hurdle by not discerning between a single complex object as an attribute and an array of complex objects as children.

JSON and YAML do not have this problem as they are explicit in their representation.

YAML example:

parent:
child: name

vs

parent:
- child: name

Try converting each of these to JSON. The former will give you an object property called child, the latter will give you an array property called child with one element

It was kind of the opposite - the party forcing Corbyn to support a second referendum lost a lot of votes in the North and led to them losing the election.

The alternative that possibly could have happened was a sanely negotiated Brexit, which would have been fine (lots of countries aren’t in the EU but have extensive trade relations etc.) but no brexit wasn’t really going to happen at the time.
Indeed.

Jumping to specifics, Evolution Theory is relatively easy to demonstrate on short time scales of under a year with fruit flies, and can also be demonstrated on longer timescales of five, ten, thirty years given patience .. with ongoing field observations of some two centuries now in various locations.

Serious question: Why use MongoDB when Postgres supports indexed dynamic json?
No it's YAML's fault - the fact that type coercion was once part of the serialization spec and not part of an adjacent schema spec is a tragic mistake. Now there's a bunch of outdated parsers that exhibit the issue and some that have it fixed. Meaning even more inconsistency and frustration. In an ideal world, YAML just shouldn't exist.
The point would have been to make the UK richer.

Wind power has been the cheapest source of energy in the UK for a decade. The Tories effectively banned it, why did they do that if they're all about the money?

Maybe because they're in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry, and/or appealing to voters conned and disinformed by that same industry?
I try to avoid it, primarily because the badge spam obscures anything you might actually be looking for. OSM works for me.
Zigbee Sonoff relays paired to one of their coordinators flashed with Tasmota. Although if the walls are too thick or tge sistances too high it could pose an issue for 2.4Ghz.
This is hilarious. Whereas I have to say, when holding a job means doing what other people want you to do, well, which person of high intelligence would be interested in that?
What is the point of substituting yaml for something even worse?
XML is whitespace sensitive, unless your particular schema just doesn't care about whitespace text nodes.
And Javascript doesn't need semicolons in all but three exceptional cases, but I still consider it good form to strongly type values whenever possible.

Getting in the habit of not doing so will lead to schema violations, like the Netplan problem you linked, which can crash the program trying to read your config. If it bails out at an unfortunate time, like most networking tools seem to do, you'll need to use a recovery boot image or serial console to fix your config.
Why use a non-FOSS database at all?

> The Bayerische Staatszeitung described Reitschuster's website as "a controversial, right-wing online Platform". "Depending on one's point of view, it gave "COVID belittlers a podium o took a critical look at" the federal government's corona policy. The Handelsblatt and the Stuttgarter Zeitung called Reitschuster's Blog "right wing-conservative". journalist and lawyer Liane Bednarz described Reitschuster on Spiegel Online as the operator of a "blog with right-wing populist bias". According to NewsGuard, Reitschuster.de is a news blog "that reports on German politics from an undisclosed politically right-wing perspective." According to a September 2021 study by the British non-governmental organization Hope not Hate, Reitschuster's page was "among the most shared [on Facebook] by AfD profiles, alongside that of the German offshoot of the Russian state broadcaster RT."

> and at the very least they generally do no harm.

Except taking money from whoever hired them. Fine if CEOs of private companies want to lose money, but at least public entities should be forbidden from spending public money into those jokes.

> doing something without taking responsibility

Also CEOs tend to get a very high salary because of their "responsibilities", so I don't like the idea that they get the high salary but have a way to not get the responsibilities. Probably they should just not get the indecent salary in the first place.

I've had windows break my truecrypt disc. And this was recently.

Installed W10, after Fedora - Windows does a scanning and repairing drive and destroys a 1.5TB 60k hours drive with a full truecrypt disc encryption unrecoverable with the backed up TC headers. Annoying but not the end of the world. I've had issues with Windows installs in the past not knowing the file system on a drive and just using it. A reason which made me paranoid and I will always unplug drives I don't want used during a Windows install.
The big question is at which level this auth is enforced:

- official Hue apps - who cares

- hue bridge - bad, would break apps like HuePro and would force more complicated setup for some

- bulb - unlikely, that would mean everyone buying this for IoT lighting can throw out their whole set
It's honestly behaving better than MBR since you don't need to boot a Linux liveUSB to fix the UEFI boot order. It requires some CMD commands but recovering (or heck, just installing) rEFInd is a rather painless affair compared to recovering a busted-up grub installation.

That's why when making request related to realtime data in the server, a POST is always needed! GET is ONLY get for static content.
> They used to require sending a copy of an ID card as proof that you are who you say you are. I guess gdpr put an end to that.

That was the case for me when I registered with Hetzner, though that was a few years ago. Then again, I registered for Contabo this month and still had to send my ID and something to prove my address. Their justification was that they're required by law to verify that data (KYC or something), so I guess they have to process that data even with GDPR being a thing.
Interesting that they used "Bharat" in the name. Without going political, sounds like an article one can ignore.

And some universities still award a DPhil rather than a PhD (in the UK I believe Oxford and Sussex do - I have an Oxford DPhil and I always have the very mild quandary of whether to call it a PhD or DPhil - everybody knows what the former is and it is equivalent, but I feel like I am being inaccurate if I call it that!)
"They routed traffic through approximately 34 servers located in nearly 20 countries to obfuscate their true location, used encrypted communication channels within Equifax’s network to blend in with normal network activity, and deleted compressed files and wiped log files on a daily basis in an effort to eliminate records of their activity."

I wonder how they managed to figure that out. Did they have to look into each of the servers?

How did they get the names?

Either this doesn't do what you want, or you just haven't discovered it yet, but in case it's the latter: I can e.g. search for "restaurant" in Organic Maps, then tap the Floating Action Button with the map icon, and then it will show all search results on the map, even when zoomed out.

You aren't tied to only referencing things from JS: you can have Webpack emit a manifest file with a JSON object mapping from the original filename to the hashed one. Then oldschool web app code can reference these fingerprinted files using the manifest.

To fingerprint files you normally wouldn't import in JS, you can 1) import them in JS anyway just for the bundling side effect or 2) use a Webpack copy plugin to copy all font files, for example, to the build directory and fingerprint them.
It's not the rank that counts, but the overall share. Niger's uranium ore can easily be replaced with Australian or Canadian ore in the next years. The price of ore in the final electricity cost is meaningless.

Niger is the top recipient of international aid in the region, worth 1.8bn$ last year. French taxpayers contributed 131M$. Most of the population still live under the poverty line (2.15$ a day).

Where will Niger get the capital to double its power grid in the next 20 years? Territory size is meaningless, by your standard Hong Kong should be poorer than Russia given the extreme density differences. Most of Niger land is aride and can't be cultivated anyway, so food needs to be imported. Parabolic population growth will only make things worse.

Regarding multi-ethnic empires, can you give me a source? I believe that it's mainly tribal oppression against enslaved dominated ethnicities. Similar to Pygmee slaves still owned by Bantu people.

Improving the region would mean understanding what's wrong instead of blaming the white men for all of the trouble. Not sure we're on the good path.

Accepting a boolean from a user config when you expected a string is unforgivable...
actually the story is detrimental to helping people understand how technical systems and troubleshooting work, because it's so poorly invented.

lots of people, both technical professionals, and non-engineers who are observant and have an appropriate level of belief in causality, troubleshoot transient failures like this all the time. a difference in the amount of time between shutting down the engine and starting it up is one of the first things that someone like this would test, or control for. it's beyond implausible that the second time the guy got vanilla (after riding along for 4 trips, two long and two short), the engineer didn't raise the question of how long he was in the store.

people troubleshoot things like this by being able to separate causes which are plausible, although unlikely and surprising, from things which aren't remotely plausible. the 500-mile email story and the stories above about sunlight interfering with sensors demonstrate this.

if you're the sort of person who believes that the type of ice cream you get might affecting your car's ignition - the type of person who buys ice cream often but never thinks about how long the errand takes, you simply never get the point of being able to make a pattern between those two things. the second time your car doesn't start, you blame it on the scratch-off lottery ticket you won $2 on which used up your supply of luck for the day. the third time, you conclude that the car ignition knew you were late and likes to choose its failures to cause maximum annoyance. and the fourth time, you realize that your mother-in-law gave your car the evil eye that morning.

the story as told, especially when presented as a real parable about engineering rather than an amusing myth, is frankly insulting to the other type of person. the untrained, not necessarily educated person who cares about machines and believes in material reality. the person who starts checking their watch each time they go to the store and a couple of weeks later is telling their mechanic friend "if it's more than 3 minutes or so, it's fine. but if you try and start it before 2 minutes, then you have to wait another 5 before it's ready to go".

Was it? My opinion is that we should invest much more into public transportation and much less into individual cars. Those who really need an individual car should get a small electric vehicle, not a Tesla.
This is a rampant industry in the US as well. The Telemarketers mini-series shows how these call centers operate, the scams they run, how police associations are involved, and how the government is basically complicit with what they're doing. This must be even easier and more profitable to operate from a more corrupt country with no regulations or law enforcement of these activities.

AI will make this industry even more successful. Telemarketers read from a script anyway, so it's only a matter of time until these scams are fully automated. We're starting to see some of this already, but it will be fully adopted in a few years.

I guess I will loose this on the ground of not being a native speaker. But to me, the little word "other" makes a difference. At least if I translate to my native language, the phrase "andere EU-Staaten" clearly implies that UK is also a EU country. Removing "andere" fixes the sentence to actually tell the truth.

And yes, this distinction is important. The british people have democratically decided to leave the EU.
All of them are easy to parse. I personally prefer the clarity of indented YAML over the endless nesting of {} JSON brings, but all formats are easy enough to read or write.

Lack of comments in JSON is a huge problem for config files. It's not an issue if you're just exchanging data between APIs, but for config files, comments are essentials.

There are some JSON specs that will do comments, but they rarely specify what dialects of JSON their parser accepts. There are also workarounds that abuse the fact duplicate key handling isn't part of the spec by specifying each key twice, once with a comment and once with data as most parsers only make the second key stick; those are even worse.

You can't add backwards compatible comments to JSON, there's no space in the JSON spec to retroactively insert comments somewhere. The closest you can do is the duplicate key trick, but as the spec doesn't state which of the keys to read as a value, that trick only works with specific parser implementations.
His (and others) comments and social media behavior during the SBV thing really opened my eyes.
I gave it a try for a while - I really like the syntax and some of its capability. But somehow my head was just spinning. I can't explain it, it was horrible to use. The moment I switched back to C++, Python and similar, I felt relief. I genuinely gave C# a chance but it just didn't work. There's nothing specific, it has all the "right" things, but it forces you to work in a way that's just so unusual. I never experienced this with another language. It feels like a language that's intentionally aimed at bloating headcount in development teams where everyone works on that "little" thing that somehow becomes a project in itself.

He frames it differently; more optimistic than the reality on the ground. He is also conflating things in a way that does not work (just because Intel ships something does not means that it is a standard to benchmark compliance to spec against it; it creates unnecessary confusion. Intel has a right to implement things above the spec, but it does not mean that spec mandates such things).

You can ship your own filesystems, volume managers, device drivers... but they should be signed with a key trusted by Secure Boot, if you want them to be useful at all. Most users are not going to disable SB for your snowflake of efi binary; especially if it is OS installer.

As a result, nobody (nobody in Spolsky's sense) really bothers. When you are shipping bootable media, fat is good enough. It will boot your binary, do stuff it is supposed to do, and everybody goes on with their lives.

Blaming Corbyn for Brexit is one of the dumbest agro-centrist bits of nonsense that will not stop. It was concocted on the day after as part of the "chicken coup" to try and push out the democratically elected party leader and hasn't stopped since.

You'd think the head of the Remain campaign might deserve a little blame? Totally blameless for their failure apparently. The actual strategy of the campaign is never even discussed. It's just "how dare Corbyn cause Brexit! The Fiend!" How about all the other names and faces leading the Remain campaign? Cameron, Osborne? Nope. He gets more blame than fucking Farage.

I have no respect for anyone that pushes this shit. It's just disgusting post-factual factional lying crap. Stop it.
