Sounds a bit like the S&M methodology. SpaceX & Musk

Of all the comments to argue against the use of a mysterious “they”, I think you’ve picked the wrong one.

It’s pretty clear who the “they” is here: Conservative politicians in the pocket of corporations who would stand to lose from cheaper, cleaner energy sources.

I’d go one step further and erase “Conservative”, because it doesn’t matter your other politics if you’re receiving bribes lobbying money from big business. It does at least seem to be skewed more towards politicians in Conservative parties though.

Cygwin on Win7 back in the day was pretty close tbh.

JavaScript, like some other languages of the time, was designed with the Robustness Principle in mind. Arguably the wrong end of the Robustness Principle, but still.

That is, it was designed to accept anything that wasn’t a syntax error (if not a few other things besides) and not generate run-time errors unless absolutely necessary. The thinking was that the last thing the user of something written in JavaScript wants is for their browser to crash or lock up because something divided by zero or couldn’t find an object property.

Also it was originally written in about five minutes by one guy who hadn’t had enough sleep. (I may have misremembered this part, but I get the feeling I’m not too far off.)

Headline in three months: “Less work getting done than in five-day week.”

Government and management will blame lazy workers. Workers will blame government, management and burnout. Truth will be closer to the latter, but a few actually lazy employees and some innocent scapegoats will be fired to preserve the bottom line. Burnout will increase.

But at least the bosses got their bonus this month.

Pity the person of Scottish (or Welsh) ancestry born in England who has to choose what they are on some forms, especially legal ones.

But then, there are worse problems to have.

I don’t know about that. Non-binary files have been put into bin directories for decades at this point. (Feel free to marvel at the analogy.)

Delete the contents and it’s not just binaries going to the bit-bucket.

The joke here is more “Tony Lazuto said to execute these files.”

“Briton” is generally used as the noun form of “British”, so when “Brit” is used as a noun - which is most of the time - it’s abbreviating “Briton”.

As for who gets to be called “Briton”: In the loosest sense, anyone with residence in Britain can be counted as British when they’re here, whether or not they’re considered ethnically British (by themselves or others).

Bear in mind that “Briton” originally mean “an inhabitant of the British Isles before any of the Romans, or various flavours of Germanics turned up”. There’s been quite a bit of admixture since then. It makes sense - to the chagrin of the Welsh, no doubt - that the term has mutated a bit over the centuries.

I’d say it’s more like setting up a handler for a callback, signal, interrupt or something along those lines.

Function declarations by themselves don’t usually do that. Something else has to tell the system to run that function whenever the correct state occurs.

That doesn’t account for unconditional come-froms.¸but I expect there’d have to be a label at the end of some code somewhere that would give a hint about shenanigans yet to occur. Frankly that’d be worse than a goto, but then, we knew that already.

That’s called “time to get a new job.”

Before I came in here, I assumed that’s what “or else” meant, and I’m still not sure it doesn’t mean that.

Just gonna leave this here: https://imgur.com/C5nBQ9Q

NK’s narrative is that SK is separate from the one true Korea because it’s occupied by, or at least heavily influenced by, the US. That means that if Russia were to, say, declare war on the US - however unlikely that might be - NK would theoretically be in favour.

Kim would almost certainly be interested in finally getting to lob a couple of bombs at an actual target.

Less seriously(?), you could also argue that Putin’s pining for the glory days of the USSR with its empty stores and downtrodden, starving citizens fits right in with what’s going on in NK, so perhaps Kim had better watch his back lest he become the former dictator of a new SSR.

The first one is clearly wrong because no-one (oh alright, almost no-one, Toe-Jeans Georg) wears leg-wear on our toes.

Third option: The top layers are covered by a poncho and only the eight pairs at the bottom have leg-wear. This works when considering each subtree as a separate tree in its own right, up to arguing about how many ponchos are then required.

Fourth option: The top two branches wear leg-wear and those below go in footwear of some sort.

They used a current world event as an excuse for an atrocity that they might well have found a different excuse for otherwise.

They could have chosen any Jewish person and any “punishment” but they chose her, and that “punishment”. That’s because they wanted to mete out that “punishment” in particular. They’re disgusting.

And yes, that’s true of neo-Nazi violence too. The violent ones are usually nutters spoiling for a fight, or worse. The prejudices they hold are merely their excuse for it.

One downside to this is that $10 is worth more to one person than it is to another, and I can’t see how that can be fixed.

There are plenty of stupid and/or devious people who will see what’s going on in some part of the world and believe a narrative or use that narrative as an excuse for their own ends.

If it wasn’t her, it would have been someone else. The whole human race has a problem with human garbage who can’t control their actions. Some of them end up running countries and turning a blind eye to war atrocities, if not asking for them outright.

This doesn’t lessen what happened to this 12-year-old victim, and it doesn’t lessen what’s happening elsewhere in the world, nor the ramifications. My point is that the link, while there, is tenuous.

The perpetrators are human garbage who found a reason to stop pretending not to be, and now should be treated as such.

Kim inherited his mess. Putin made his own.

That’s not to say that Kim isn’t allowing things to continue mostly as they were, but it could be beyond his ability to change things even if he wanted to.

Putin, on the other hand, only needs to call off the “special military exercise” and most of his immediate problems will go away.

My gut says there’s grudging admiration between the two blue-suited balding megalomaniacs, but of the two, only Putin talks to Xi often, and even then, only because he has to.

The smarter you are, the less likely you are to want kids or have “accidents”, and even if you do, you won’t have many.

Spot the bad trend.

Exception: Rich people have kids regardless of how smart they are.

This is another bad trend.

We’re not quite at Eloi and Morlocks yet, but given how things are at the moment, I think we’ll be there sooner than H.G.Wells thought.

Forgive the tangent, but who in their right mind names a competition with a year-like four-digit number?

Or am I being whooshed and this whole article is an AI hallucination.
