Largely because the Tories are also willing to be fairly openly xenophobic, which is very popular with a large portion of the public. "Making sure the poors don't take more than they deserve" is another one of their…
Supporting the party which consistently underfunds a British institution, and sells off parts of it to their mates, in order to protect Britishness. Sums up Tory politics nicely, really.
Indeed; the reason people exonerate it is that the Tories have been threatening the population with a dismantling and privatisation of the NHS for over a decade now, and that's not what anyone wants. People want the NHS…
In the context of the thread you're in, are you trying to argue that men have no emotional attachment to family or childhood, or that they have no impact on the people around them?
Slack was everywhere, years before Discord was in common use. Discord, really, was just Slack for gamers - but more importantly, it was a replacement for Teamspeak and self-hosted forums.
If we come at this from a perspective of "people deserve to have a home where they are safe", rather than from an economic perspective, the moral question is why on earth we decided to allow and protect private…
gov.uk serves all of the UK - including the person who lives in the middle of the mobile dead spot, and the person who can't even get consistently working ADSL. 4G/5G doesn't cover the UK by a very long way, and there's…
insidegovuk.blog.gov.uk is not gov.uk.
Of course, NemID isn't actually a Government website, despite being used by the Government. Similar situation as Sweden's BankID.
The C bits of the kernel aren't even written closely to any C specification - they are written to, essentially, "what gcc does and is likely to keep doing". They also use a number of gcc extensions which are…
Ehh. Being kicked out of your home is being removed, even if it's perfectly legal. Fixed-term rental contracts are nearly entirely immoral imo. And while an accurate depiction of how this affects the people who were…
And when the rent for the neighbour gets raised double because you started attracting people willing to pay double to move there...?
That's... a list of things I already have installed, the Lua executable aside. This is a pretty normal-looking dependency list for native C software. Are you perhaps not used to building C software?
You don't. Gentrifying a place pretty inherently means removing at least some of the people who live there. Why would the people of a small town go for that? Unless you're planning on subsidising the existing residents'…
It... really depends on which bits of Europe you're talking about. The bits where corruption is endemic and the money never actually winds up going to help anyone? Sure, certain policies are floundering there. The state…
To ask uncomfortable questions is, inherently, to make someone uncomfortable talking to you. It’s in the definition. If you ask uncomfortable questions repeatedly, people will avoid talking to you. This is normal human…
If your mechanism for getting things done faster is to make your employees uncomfortable talking to you, yes.
The assumption/trick here is that you are experienced enough that you can make a guess as to how much money the company thinks they will save by contracting you, and you bill them appropriately, without actually telling…
I write video streaming software in Rust. Rust helps us make sure we've got concurrency correct, has a very solid type system to help us make sure we've got general application properties correct, and seriously reduces…
Part of the issue (in countries where you're not liable to be shot or accused by the police of running a cult or what-have-you) is that worker co-ops do not generally have access to significant capital or loans from VCs…
What I mean is that putting together a webapp without learning about something /other/ than how to put a <pick-a-technology> app together in the process isn't going to have anyone interested in hiring you. If in the…
I wish I could say I had the same experience. I don't know what to say. My experience of applying for jobs that were well within my skillset, where I had projects showing off my non-industry-specific skills, was...…
In my experience, the companies that are developing these things are either about 5 developers and can barely keep the lights on for them - so aren't hiring - or have standardised their employment procedures so much…
No, people aren't hiring junior devs, and haven't been for a long while. What they are hiring is people who have seriously built stuff; not "a webapp", but stuff in specific niches where they've essentially got past…
Indeed. A country which fails to follow its own law on privacy would likely be considered a country which does not have appropriate law on privacy.
