  • Reminder: the claim that Bob Crachits pay, when adjusted for inflation, is twice the American minimum wage gets economists so wound up that they try to argue that he was comparitively paid well despite not being able to feed his family at Christmas.

  • Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030

  • This is what you get when AI fanaticism combines with Rust fanaticism.

    1 million lines a month is 2-ish line per second. That "engineer" is just someone to blame when things don't work. They aren't going to be contributing anything.

  • Glastonbury is our (bi?)annual Woodstock-like music festival.

  • Bob Vylan rapper will not be prosecuted over 'death to the IDF' chant

    Jump

  • Maybe, but I think the intent was quite clear here. Political statement of contempt towards the IDF. There was no sarcasm or irony. It wasn't part of a song. He just led the crowd in a chant.

  • Reginald D Hunter: Judge quashes antisemitism case brought by Campaign Against Antisemitism

    Jump

  • The problem is that the hate speech laws are, like in this case, open to abuse. Somebody can have their career damaged whilst they fight an abusive case for over a year just because somebody feels offended.

    They shouldn't be on the books. They need repealing, or at the very least made much more specific.

  • ‘We’ve seen it decimate areas’: Somerset town’s traders oppose parking charges

    Jump

  • It's a subsidy to the shops and businesses in a town. Businesses that pay taxes back to the council. A thriving town provides more funds than a dead one.

    In a rural area there isn't public transport to get people to the centre of towns to buy things (and there never will be because the population is not dense enough to be practical). It's personal transport, or people order online and the town dies.

    In an urban area the equation is different.

  • Vince Gilligan Tells Us He Has A Four-Season Plan for Pluribus

    Jump

  • It's not a bad show. It's got a good premise and it's produced well, but its pacing is divisive. I personally found the pace ok when I could binge a few episodes back to back (I started a few week late), but now I'm watching week-to-week I'm finding the pace too slow.

  • Vince Gilligan Tells Us He Has A Four-Season Plan for Pluribus

    Jump

  • It might be most watched on Apple TV but there's an element of subscription numbers in that metric. If you look at RT audience ratings it seems to have landed on the second tier of high profile Apple shows.

    • Pluribus 68%
    • Severance 80%
    • Silo 67%
    • For All Mankind 82%
    • Slow Horses 87%
    • Dark Matter 80%

  • I doubt it'll make it.

    Having just one forward step in the plot per episode will just about get people through a season. When the season is over I think a lot of people won't return for S2.

  • Jeffrey Epstein wrote in apparent suicide note to Larry Nassar that Donald Trump ‘shares our love of young, nubile girls’

    Jump

  • Suicide note is surprising as that suggest suicide.

  • I called it. Last week I said this :

    I'm hoping for the old “it looks black until you select the text in the PDF” snafu.

  • Go Away Copilot.

  • It the "Microsoft downgrading AI targets" story that went around a few weeks ago.

  • What FOSSy Signal groups are you a member of?

    Jump

  • Signal groups?.... Oh! That's why people wanted usernames.

    No. Signal is for people I know.

  • The UK doesn't have a first amendment. It has the ECHR.

  • ‘We’ve seen it decimate areas’: Somerset town’s traders oppose parking charges

    Jump

  • Yes! Councils see parking charges as a money making scheme to bolster budgets, but having available free parking attracts people to the town centre. This is especially true in market towns that might have a large catchment area.

    There's a reason supermarkets don't charge for parking when they can avoid it.

  • How would you calm down somebody if neither of you speaks the other’s language?

    Jump

  • ...but not the 👌gesture. In some cultures that's very rude.

  • Bob Vylan rapper will not be prosecuted over 'death to the IDF' chant

    Jump

  • What were they "investigating" for 6 months? It was a nationally televised event. The decision to press charges or not should have been near instantaneous.

  • China and India Refuse to Unload Russian Oil as Tankers Pile Up at Sea

    Jump

  • Oh no!

  • Mexico is a long way from Europe and the food hasn't travelled well.
