Most rock and roll thing I heard today :)
Apart from the bit about killing people, for the most part.
In the UK the Consumer's Association and Which? fulfil the same role, and has been going since the 1950s. Before the internet the magazine was a part of everyday life for many - if my parents were going to buy something…
I've just finished Pamuk's novel A Strangeness in my Mind, where the protagonist is a street vendor of the traditional Turkish beverage boza. Boza is a mildly alcoholic fermented barley drink considered ok for Muslims…
There are university leagues for every kind of sport in the UK. Most of the people involved take it very seriously but it's still just a form of recreation and doesn't attract crowds and money. I've never spoken with…
Given what he did to the British economy in the shortest tenure of any chancellor, it's easy to believe he doesn't know what day it is.
Same way that Shakespeare "invented" the word "elbow" and thousands of others.
Yep. That's me. I bet you're wondering how I got myself into this situation...
What's the little book of his about a man and a woman trapped on an island where they geekily explain things to each other? I might be misremembering the setting...started it once but it was pretty cheesy.
I think the tobacco industry has been no slouch in the marketing department, but the real difference is that there's no way to use tobacco that is safe and beneficial for you.
I don't know who John Cleese was talking about but the great comic actor Ronnie Barker (of The Two Ronnies, for you Americans) was like that. Always playing a Cockney barrow boy, Welsh housewife, upper class patrician,…
You need this ominous sounding permission to intervene and pause an app when a call comes in.
A lot of the points you raise aren't much to do with it being dated IMO, merely the style in which its written. You say "we'd do this, we wouldn't do that" (where "we" is presumably modern day fantasy writers), but he…
What's dated about it?
It's a humorous lament on the fragmented state of devops, not to be taken too seriously.
Ezra Pound's ~ABC of Reading~ changed the way I read poetry and literary fiction. When, much later, I started to be interested in technical things I don't think I found it too hard to adapt, but I still focus on style,…
That doesn't seem like something a compiler should care about, I think it would be better to add it to something like hlint.
> The UK is a net payer to the EU This is true in all areas except research funding. That's because researchers can take part in EU-funded projects (e.g. Horizon 2020) where the funding was awarded to a multi-national…
It wasn't a general election and I didn't vote for either of the sides. If "Leave" (as if that were one organisation) said "it" was going to do something, how could that be guaranteed, unless they were able to form a…
> The native working class are subterfuged for the non native working class Subterfuged isn't the right word there but I'm not sure what is -- "passed over"? There has been so much snobbery about Leave voters. I find it…
Sounds like a great idea if you want to visit a war-torn area to make a protest about sexism and Sharia, not to mention risk getting mixed up in an international incident or worse. Not so much if you want to run a…
Wariness and a generally circumspect attitude to what is revealed predominate in the relationships between workers and bosses in workplaces like that. At least, that's in my limited personal experience of working in…
When it comes to being examined there are also the prerequisites to advancing the state of the art, which include demonstrating you've learned how to do research and have deep critical knowledge of the field you're…
> Serve the time and irrespective of the results they give you a degree I don't know what you are basing that on and maybe you've had a bad experience with this but it isn't true in my experience (which is of having a…
Why not just use AUCTeX?
