It's on apt. It's literally on Cargo. It's on DockerHub with ads. It's literally on nuget. You can probably find it on snap. Dude it's on portage. It's a Homebrew original. It's on pacman. You can download it on nixpkgs. You can go to pkgsrc and watch it. Log onto the Windows Store right now.

Every time I see a photo of him at one of these international events for psychotic capitalists, I take comfort in the fact that he is clearly still too scared to properly appear in public. He know's there are still many people who would attempt to place him under citizen's arrest.

It’s incredible, because you literally cannot understand current affairs without knowing this. But it can’t be said aloud, so everyone just pretends it’s all weird and inexplicable.

How is it possible to write 900 words about the Cost Of Living crisis - turns out it's actually real, not just invented by bitter leftists - and yet give no indication of how it happened (handing the country over to rentiers) nor what we should do about it (take it back from them)

The hacks have known for so long what McSweeney is - a millionaire-backed left-smashing cynic - that to them it seems ridiculous to complain about him doing the one thing he is good at. The 'comms' problem is they somehow never got round to telling anyone else about him.

The Tories embarked on a political programme in 1983 that would inevitably and by-design lead to the destruction of the living standards of the majority of the UK population. They have followed that programme though to its logical conclusion. That is not failure, that is success.

Liberals have precisely three modes: 1) intone about Jews being killed [by the Left: ominous, imminent]; 2) ignore genuine threat of Jews being killed [by the Right: complicated, inscrutable], and 3) joke about Jews being killed [general, historical, hilarious].

He's at least right that it wouldn't be as well-received now. The extremely cynical way that Westminster operates has not changed much, but the fact that it has had terrible, bleak consequences for the country at large (in a way that wasn't as obvious in the mid-2000s) has made the joke Not Funny

We could perhaps conceive of it as manufacturing consent for the "Big Other". Not intended to work on the population at large but to demonstrate the official line, which everyone was expected to pretend was true.

Amusingly, Go repeated one of Java's worst mistakes - namely launching without generics, then bolting them on after-the-fact in a hacky way. Doubly amusing since Go's designers clearly thought they were making the anti-Java.

Go at 1.0 was a bad language, but after 13 years of a tech giant pumping in colossal resources, 1% of which would make most open source projects weep with gratitude... it actually feels like a worse language, since now we have Rust to compare it against.

As usual the plain conclusion is 'The left were right all along and I was wrong, some self-reflection required' but instead his conclusion will be 'The left were right but in a bad, ideological way, whereas I was wrong but in a good, academic way, some sad head-shaking required'.

If you didn't have to mark it as `mut`, but then tried to pass it to a function that take an `&mut`, and then the borrow checker worked out it couldn't be passed as `&mut` because the borrow is aliased... and then you realize you have to totally rewrite the function... could be confusing/annoying?

You have to take into account NICs, and also that above £100K you start to lose you £12.5K tax-free allowance. Also you lose your free nursery benefit. TBH the income tax system is a mess and it does tax the upper-middle class much higher than the truly rich (who tend to pay capital gains instead).

Operation Trust Placeholder @slooow.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

Make no sense on its own terms? A pay rise to above £100K would tip the husband into the 60% _marginal_ tax bracket. He is not less well off than before the pay rise - obviously. These sorts of articles are always sketchy once you look at the details.

It surely isn't terribly important in this case. But, there are such things as bad languages, and there are such things as bad languages which got very popular and I therefore occasionally have to write for feed family, and I don't want that. It's not just ego.

Yet to find any Starmer supporters directly reckon with the fact that he straightforwardly lied to the membership about his politics, and has lied many more times since. The blackhearted cynics on the Labour right usually applaud this as 'savvy' but shouldn't the "soft left" find this troubling?

Infuriating because there is a really important book waiting to be written about how Starmer became Labour leader then PM despite having no identifiable politics and being personally repellent. But that book would not make the Times or any other part of the British establishment look good.

Absolutely Jokerfying scenes here, as the lads again explain - in positive terms - that Starmer’s Labour was always a bleak fraud going all the way back to the start of the Labour Racism Scandal. Also, the PM is a clueless ambition monster and may as well be a cardboard cutout of himself.
