I think it was actually great on so many levels. Original, spectacular and pissing all the rabid bigots off. You have to love France for that fuck you attitude.

Not just Americans having a meltdown

Man is a complete tit, but still funny to see!

How do you know what’s it supposed to do, if no one actually wrote that down, other than

As a person.
I would like it to work
So i can do the things.

To be fair, at least that’s something…

Or maybe for testing the documentation is the code. The code does this, write a test that accepts it does this.

I like the concept of describing things in scenarios and having data objects embedded in the scenarios. I think gherkin if a bit too restrictive, the same way user stories are, but a more natural verbose scenario that was parameterised with variables tied to actual data makes it explicit what is supposed to happen and what data the system will consume, create or manipulate.

E: there is of course other types of documentation available

Apple greedy and bad right?

Yes.

No, I’m a lazy shite, I just did an image search for clippy 1984. I feel bad now I didn’t make more of an effort 😕

Cool! This seems like an good write up on it

Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time (BBR) is a TCP congestion control algorithm developed at Google in 2016. Up until recently, the Internet has primarily used loss-based congestion control, relying only on indications of lost packets as the signal to slow down the sending rate. This worked decently well, but the networks have changed. We have much more bandwidth than ever before; The Internet is generally more reliable now, and we see new things such as bufferbloat that impact latency. BBR tackles this with a ground-up rewrite of congestion control, and it uses latency, instead of lost packets as a primary factor to determine the sending rate.

This is pretty funny, kinda suggests they have no faith in the engineers they work with… ffmpeg is an awesome piece of work, but if it’s a bug they can repeat to some level, then like you said, it 100% a them problem!

E: oh, was thinking it was a pm raised it, but seems it was possibly one of their developers, brutal…

Completely agree, charity is a symptom of something wrong in a society. If something needs support and is worthwhile (and you assume charities are for worthwhile causes), why as a society is it not being done?

If you look at a lot of charities throughout history, it’s almost like they’re really there for the powerful to play with their pets …

explaining “wallpaper” to the currents in the ocean…

If this isn’t just a saying I haven’t heard of, I’m doing my best to make it a common place phrase, absolutely perfect in this context!

This, he’s also really pissed the unionist lunatics off in northern Ireland by laughing in the face of their leader with the leader of Sein Fein. Poor Jeffrey was so excited that day too…

Not useless at all, this is why there is so much shit code out there.

It full implies, document and test your fucking code people!

Ah, but what about the economy rich peoples yacht money

You mentioned Cameron seeming to be a bit limp in opposing it and actually campaigning on it originally. Some interesting context

When in fact it wasn’t fine, it’s just a bigots fever dream

9% say it has benefited the NHS

Are 9% of the UK shareholders of plantir or something? Cunts!

Is it the fault of the people being manipulated, rather than of those doing the manipulating? Fuck no.

Fair point, but there does seem to be plenty who do seem like they should have the capacity to understand, but choose not to.

And as you alluded to, lets not pretend Labour gives a shit about disabled people either (nor that this problem is somehow unique to the UK), so it’s not like we have anyone to vote for who will not fuck us over.

True, although if enough people understood they were being fucked, things could change. Like if the Murdoch rags told them (sorry, I’m miserable facetious cunt)

Yeah this is just the first step in removing state support for disabled people. Everything these evil cunts have done from the beginning has been so fucking obvious.

The big society, where private individuals would contribute to things like food banks, while they gut state support. Reducing support for GP practices while incentivising fully private practices to be set up, handing contracts to big American healthcare/insurance companies.

How is this not obvious to people in the UK, or do they know and want the UK to turn into a hellhole?

E: seems the council is about half and half for conservative and labour members, but labour are now just Tories so probably not worth checking…

Ponzi scheme with some confusing mathematics to make it appear legitimate.

It’s not really suddenly. They’ve been trying to help Russia from the beginning. The attack by Hamas on Israel was very fortunate for Russia, since the republicans have been able to conflate the two so now the funding is stuck in limbo, funding Israel doesn’t need for their genocide as it happens. Completely coincidentally Iran, who likely helped get arms to Hama’s is a great friend of Russia. Israel being strangely myopic about that attack when they normally have eyes on everything is also very fortunate for Russia. It seems too elaborate for Russia to have orchestrated this in any way, but Putin has proven to be a conniving cunt in the past.
