Don't be silly, just because there are three right-wing parties, it doesn't mean they map onto that range. The label "far right" is just used to smear people, rather than something that represents a real group in Britain

Counterpoint: > Our conclusion is deliberately modest: under the conditions Prisma Compute cares about, the Rust rewrite behaved better than the stable release we had been testing. That was enough to change what we shipped. https:/

Keir Starmer said that the levers of power aren't connected to anything. And he was right. In particular, the Human Rights Act means that the UK cannot control its border, despite the population repeatedly voting for decreased immigrat

For forty-eight minutes on the evening of Monday 23 June — a 33°C midsummer Monday — the frequency of Great Britain's electricity grid sat below 49.8 Hz, the boundary of normal operation.

It looks like quite a lot of analysis went into the rewrite https://bun.com/bun-unsafe-audit If the tests pass, then why not accept the rewrite? An interesting article of Prisma using the rewrite: https://www.pri

It is the fact that this tool would only be providing minors with these "banned books" that shows a lack of social awareness. It is the choice of the individual to base their project around these "banned books", which in

As expected, the book examples given were not "banned". They're usually school libraries that are removing books from their collection that contain explicit material, usually at the request of parents.

The ability to solve maths problems still doesn't mean it is intelligent. It doesn't know what it is doing.

Its funny that the article uses Wikipedia as an example, given it is a tool that always needs a caveat: "anyone can edit it, always use the source, never trust it directly." There are many instances where I have seen Wikipedia hav

The CoC reminds me a lot of this quote by Sowell: "...if the answer to the problem is that people should just be virtuous, then there is no problem, because we have known that for thousands of years."

I love using AI to code, as it saves me a lot of boring and repetitive typing. I only commit code that is roughly the same as I would have written anyway. It feels as good for developer ergonomics as the move away from CRT monitors.

I've used a dynamically typed language extensively. I don't think they are suited for anything but small scripts. Refactoring is a nightmare, as as types don't exist, the compiler can't help you if you try to access a pr

I used gtk2, it was ok, but I preferred Ubuntu's Unity interface when it came out. Gnome 3 seems similar to Unity nowadays, and it is pretty good. I find it much easier to use than Windows or Mac, which is credit to the engineers who w
