I’ve had the joy of working on a python project with strict type checking enforced in CI and wow is it a different experience. Am a big fan.

The mac comes with 256 GB though, and 256 > 1

Support for M1 and M2 is pretty good now but M3 is not quite there yet and it’ll probably be years before everything works nicely on M4, sadly

Just start wearing a “make fascists afraid again” hat and let him do the escalation (or something more subtle if necessary in your workplace)

“doing nothing is a decision” is a legitimate position you can argue for, but it is not some kind of settled moral fact that you can just assert without any justification.

Yes that’s my point exactly, people love to dogpile on anyone who doesn’t jump at the easy consequentialist solution, but there are other valid interpretations

That’s another way of looking at it

Right, and one of the main, basic ways in which one can consider the trolley problem is that, regardless of the difference in outcomes, pulling the lever makes you morally responsible for what happens.

Sure, I agree

Agreed with the privacy concerns but

So, 15s saved per person. Which is handy, but 25 seconds fits squarely in the “blazing fast” category anyway.

This is huge when there are five 787s worth of people in line for ten passport control machines, it’s the difference between waiting half an hour in line or five minutes.

It is the standard means of passport control in Europe and UK, just with the passport added, but all by machine. Once they are convinced the biometrics are good enough they’ll do this too to speed things up.

Paris has pretty good food but it’s below average for France, the south is where it’s at.

Another Brexit success story

Yeah it wasn’t meant to be a knock, just an observation about onion size really. I haven’t tried them enough times to judge if I think they’re good or bad. But they’re definitely big!

Yeah in normal countries but in America they have huge onions

4 large onions

So, like, 6 tablespoons of caramelised onion?

Maybe, but “profit” can mean “just lead a basic live with basic dignities instead of being in abject poverty”

the increasing commercialisation pressure leading to the dismantling of cold-war era institutions

Another thing achieved at gunpoint (or rather nuclear-warhead-point).

Also, it’s not prejudicial if I’m judging you on your actual words.

The point I’m making is that it’s naïve to think that legal mandate has so much less a power to influence people than social pressure, ideology, marketing etc.

That’s why Coca-Cola are more powerful than most governments.

lmao.

What an embarrassing thing to say. I’m sure you think you’re very smart, using a diaeresis, but stop and think about what you’re actually saying for a minute longer.

If it doesn’t become clear to you, no, social pressure is not stronger than physical coercion with the threat of death from a police force nearly indistinguishable from the army.

And the thing about Coca-Cola is a complete non sequitur. It’s possible that they are more powerful than many governments because they have unfathomable amounts of money and most countries are tiny with only a few million poor inhabitants, but it’s got nothing to do with marketing.
