The system has already been changed and numbers are falling (and have already fallen) quite dramatically. See Fig 2 here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populati...

As a former software developer, now turned student (studying theology while I train to become a pastor), Typst has been great for writing my dissertation with one notable exception: it really doesn't handle footnotes well. Specifically

Rust needs to be careful that it doesn't invite the type-programming crowd in too much. Even if individual features are helpful, the cultural effect on the programming language in terms of the community (i.e. libraries and idioms) can

Thanks too for the detailed reply. You've made a good case and persuaded me to take a closer look at their reporting in the future!

I completely agree with criticism of expansion of government powers in some contexts but my original point was about gaining perspective and avoiding sensationalism, which I argue the article and many comments here fall into. > Why does

Thanks for your considered reply, and I do appreciate my initial post was somewhat exaggerated and done in frustration. Your own evidence, however -- albeit expressed less polemically -- seems indeed to support my conclusion, namely that on

100%. Unfortunately, rather than rebut the substance of your argument, people are voting you down (and the same for my own similar comment). It is convenient for certain parts of the US right (Fox and also Musk come to mind) to present a na

As a Brit, I find it very hard to believe that the majority of comments in this thread are not either written out of ignorance or are bots. The article is from an anarchist organisation and sensationalist. 'Precrime' in the sense

Just to correct slightly, I suspect most people who write Go WebAssembly are using https://tinygo.org/ , which also achieves starting binaries in the 10kb range.

The brigades are out, but most people in the UK have a high level of trust in the BBC ( https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/45744-which-media-out... ). This whole incident is a storm in a teacup; yes the program

The problem is that people are frequently using SPA JS frameworks for things that are clearly not gmail of figma -- i.e. news websites and other sites with minimal interactivity or dynamic behaviour. If you are genuinely building an &#x27

AMP is both a Javascript framework, and a wider page contract that facilitates CDN inclusion. I believe the parent is referring to the Javascript framework, which itself has many nice properties for interactivity and performance.

While I agree with this article's conclusion, I think it conflates political/market objections to AMP (i.e. abuse of monopoly power) with technical concerns. For a time, I tech-led the creation of the AMP site for a major news pub

You are correct, I meant John Mark :(.

The article is polemical, which I don't mean as a criticism but simply as genre description. There is no attempt to engage with the scholarly consensus (or indeed any of biblical scholarship beyond the named author). The piece wants to

You are overstating the case on authorship (we don't know who wrote Matthew and John) but otherwise you are wholly correct -- the article misrepresents the scholarly consensus. I.e. as you say, Greek was pervasive and Jesus almost cert

It is not correct to assert this. More precise is to say: it is unlikely that all of the gospels were written by the names we now associate with them -- at least not insofar as these names relate to the 12 disciples. The truth is we don&#x2

This is not correct. Secular academics disagree quite a lot about the specifics as we lack sufficient historical data but it is very widely accepted that: * the gospels were written in the 1st century It is therefore entirely possible that

I think your thinking is short-termist and naive. Naive because: * Putin will use any pause in fighting that doesn't come with credible security guarantees to rearm and continue (he basically always breaks ceasefires he agrees) Short-t

No, that is too cynical a take. The UK gives a lot of resources to Ukraine, has offered 'boots on the ground' as part of a peace deal, and is increasing its defence going forward.

by room271 2y ago
The problem is, Putin will not stop at Ukraine if he is allowed to take it. His worldview is that the fall of the USSR is the greatest wrong of the last century, and he is determined to recreate it. And Europe will suffer greatly if a resur

I have no beef with Rust, but objectively I think it's dependency management, general tooling, and standard library are significantly worse than Go's. The language, as you say, has a quite different philosophy from Go which many f

Haha perhaps - though I think you'll find that (with the exception of Scala) these are some of the most popular programming languages. Having sad that, I don't really know anyone with significant Go experience who dislikes its dep

by room271 2y ago
Your reply is polemical and somewhat detached from the experience of working with Go. From my experience, Go's dependency management is far better than anything else I've worked with (across languages including Java, Scala, Javasc

Graham's article is persuasive on describing societal shifts around 'wokeness'. However, I'd like to see a bit more introspection on what constitute non-'religious' (to borrow his term), or foundational, princi

'Most' is important to recognise here. I'm studying theology at Cambridge University and at least one current professor (in a small faculty) advocates strongly for an early dating of John (i.e. pre-70). It is important to not
