Are you familiar with the Korean war? There was a massive conflict which got drawn out into a stalemate and everybody agreed a temporary ceasefire was preferable to even more destruction.
Trying to topple a regime that has nothing to lose and a highly indoctrinated population is not an easy ask. We can only hope that like most authoritarian regimes they eventually succumb to the weight of their own opression. It’s better than torching the whole continent in the name of freedom.
Instead, she pointed to a £25m package that will be allocated to councils to fit “cross-pavement gullies”, to make it easier for people without driveways to charge an electric vehicle (EV), alongside £63m for charging infrastructure.
Public transport doesn’t work everywhere. It’s great in big urban areas but once you get out into lower density countryside it’s hard to run something comprehensive.
If the choice is between a diesel or an EV then we should insentivise the EV. However direct subsidies for buying cars probably won’t work as well as widening access to charging. I see they are trying to make the process of adapting pavements for curbside charging easier which I think will help more.
Charging from the socket is about a tenth the cost of public charging infrastructure and with solar it becomes functionality free.
Sorry to hear that. Good luck finding a new gig without needing to interact with Teams again.
I used to update my tickets from Emacs org-mode where I kept my working set off knowledge. The org export functions dealt with whatever format Jira expects. Nowadays I’m mostly tracking stuff so my comments are generally never more than a “thanks”, 👍 or occasionally a link to the patch series or pull requests.
Jira is alright, not great, not terrible. You need something to track projects and break down work and say least being ubiquitous a lot of people are familiar with it.
Teams is a dumpster fire of excrement though.
While they were younger the kids only had access to YouTube on the main TV. You can’t underestimate the need to review and prune the watch history to keep it on track.
Interestingly I’ve noticed the recommendations tend to change depending on the time of day with more stuff appearing that grabs the whole families interest in the evenings when we are likely watching together or with one of the adults in charge of the remote.
They can be helpful when using a new library or development environment which you are not familiar with. I’ve noticed a tendency to make up functions that arguably should exist but often don’t.
Sometimes I get an LLM to review a patch series before I send it as a quick once over. I would estimate about 50% of the suggestions are useful and about 10% are based on “misunderstanding”. Last week it was suggesting a spelling fix I’d already made because it didn’t understand the - in the diff meant I’d changed the line already.
The article implies they were already on AWS so this migration was from Xeon instances to Arm Graviton instances. I wonder how much of the AWS fleet is Arm now?
Edit to add apparently RDS and Aurora are two different database hosting solutions in the AWS service zoo.
Isn’t that like a short holiday?
This seems to be mostly about the T in LGBT which has become such a toxic political football the politicians are running away and deferring to anyone else to avoid enacting policy themselves.
The supreme court judgement is only an interpretation of existing law, anything can be overturned with new legislation. Instead they sat back and let the EHCR commission issue unworkable guidance on who can use what loos.
I know the Cass review was controversial but it called for puberty blockers too be issued as part of medical trials with appropriate long term follow up. Somehow we got from that to indefinite bans of their use.
Meanwhile the widening gulf between the louder parts of the two sides of the debate have left a large chunk of the population fearful of even engaging in the discourse lest they be accused of wrong-think.
The whole thing is a mess.
What do the inputs and configuration drop down menus say?
So back in the days of the Atari ST we had compact disks (sic).
Most games shipped on a single floppy disk (so 720k or 1.4Mb) and rarely used compression given the base system only has 512k of RAM. The crackers would strip the protection, repack the data and patch the loading routines to handle that. Depending on the games they could fit 3 or 4 games on a single disk.
Nowadays the dynamics are different - games on consoles do use compression but they have to favour speed because they are streaming assets just in time. The PS5 even had dedicated decompression hardware to keep up with the data rate on it’s fast SSD.
Why would you? Effectively you are storing the address of the address at the address. It would get more complicated if there where post/pre increments or index offsets involved.
I thought CoPilot was just a rebagged ChatGPT anyway?
It’s a silly experiment anyway, there are very good AI chess grandmasters but they were actually trained to play chess, not predict the next word in a text.
I remember the old ADSL modems where effectively winmodems. I had to keep a Windows ME machine as my household router until the point the community had reversed engineered them enough to get them working on Linux.
At least they where usb based rather than some random card. I think the whole driver could work in user space.
Seems fair enough, these things cost money and the #BBC is in a race to diversify it’s income in preparation for the license fee going away. The dynamic description sounds like they want to preserve the casual visitors experience of an open site.
I get ads on my BBC podcasts when I’m abroad. I assume that’s all part of it.
Well Trump had a go in his first term but unsurprisingly didn’t get far.
