I think you may have it wrong, I don't believe the people thought that the Tories were the solution (specifically in the last election), but rather that Labour was a worse choice t…

I don't really agree with your proposition, I think the base issue is more fundamental, simply put I think it comes down to the atomisation of the individual due to the structure o…

TBH I'm pretty excited for my twitter footprint to be deleted

Perhaps it's already here. In reference to a different thread about Japan's population decline, it is supposed there that advanced economies lead to population decline (via below r…

Poetry is one of the worst modern solutions to python packaging, either pick hatch or PDM, they both have more and better implemented features plus their codebases aren't a complet…

Poetry was the best pragmatic tool for python at one point, but it certainly was the developers project. That is to say, it introduced different and unfamiliar version specifiers t…

Tools like https://www.rufus.ltd/ offer you the option when writing the iso to usb

Not a fan of win 11 but for those who want to make it more tolerable, you can disable the start menu ads with a regedit

Fortunately if can't or don't want to meet the arbitrary requirements you can use tools like https://www.rufus.ltd/ to bypass all of them when writing the iso to a usb

Because you can use the same toolchains, APIs, libraries, and even progressively migrate with both languages in the same project. Honestly, people who whine about Java 8 in Android…

Someone has to be able to maintain it. What happens when the one person who understood it leaves and it needs to be modified or upgraded, if they're lucky they can hack it into wor…

Nix will never achieve any wide spread adoption, the issues are too glaring. The Nix language itself is half of the problem, difficult to search for because "nix" doesn't refer to …

I recently started at a company x months ago. A colleague and I, both agree t0hat the interview process is not one we would willingly tackle again. I raised this with my manager an…

I am about to do so. Truth be told I am angling for Kotlin over Java, but I wouldn't be unhappy if it went that way. Java has come a long way, 17 has a lot of nice language feature…

Does Chrome?

Personally I'd rather the exception than a "simple" bool, which would make for noisy code and less simplicity. In reality and exception is just less bad, better than both would be …

I can't speak to iOS as I'm not a user of it, but an alternative for android users is VPN apps that enable you to block ads, however apps that have such a feature aren't allowed on…

I hope one day people realise there is a place other than kubernetes and VMs to run containers, such as GCP's Cloud Run or AWS's ECS Fargate, these are essentially plug container a…

> We're told Sonderman scoured the internet looking for interesting and desirable usernames on social networks, from Instagram to Twitter, and pressured people to hand over those a…

Would you be so kind as to share some of your top picks for build systems? As someone who wants to understand what makes a great build system, I'd very much appreciate it

It's easy to do immutability in python, just use NamedTuple for classes and tuple instead of list

While there is a want or whim, those with ability, real or apparent, will always be highly sought after. I doubt it's possible to solve without removing humans from the equation. T…

I think what you're missing here is the alternative to progressive tax is all income is taxed at or close to the existing highest rates, as that is where by a very large margin mos…
