Distract it while someone sedates/shoots/whatevers it…

Even if you guess the move, it doesn’t say it’ll be alive or intact, so the safest thing to do is not to play.

It’s not the policy, it’s knowing when to enforce it and when to treat it as guidance.

Then don’t follow them. This is my number one gripe since moving to the US, if company policies are stupid, you don’t follow them, whereas in the US, it’s too bad since it’s company policy.

I know it’s due to more fear of being fired, but still, it’s so annoying to be in a situation where neither of us wants to follow the policies and yet you’re enforcing them.

Israel results in reduced contrast? That’s news to me…

(I appreciate the point of the comparison is all the devastation, but editing the photos to make it look better before, when the difference is obvious without it just gives people with different political views something to grab on to)

Russia sponsored it, despite being huge and present colonisers, but the text of the motion was pretty lacking.

France, China and the US are the other big two these days (excluding the more minor offenders and the ones that are more imperialist or genocidal than colonialist like Israel, Armenia and Azerbaijan), the US voting against is unsurprising, China like to reframe their colonialism as “Not Colonialism™” and France probably didn’t want to get the bad rep of voting against it.

the effigy underscores the West Midlands’ rock heritage

Would Stoke be happy being associated with the West Midlands?

I always had them down as North Midlands and associating as closely with Manchester as they do Birmingham, which is only a “very slightly” for both

Yeah, racism in europe is largely stereotypes directed at whole groups that are rooted in truth but grossly overblown, eg “black people just want to commit crime”, “arabs want to install sharia”, “east asians want to eat your dog”, “indians want to outgrow the native population” and other nonsense.

If you ask the huge majority of the people who are saying these things if they interact with people in these groups, they’ll say “yes, but they’re some of the good ones” not realising it’s only a tiny fraction who aren’t, but also accepting that race doesn’t automatically make you anything.

Comparing that to the US where (from what I’m aware of) there’s both “I refuse to even speak to members of xyz race because they’re subhuman” and “xyz race needs all the help they can get because they have such a tough time” it seems so hard for individuals to just live a normal life in the US?

European racism is casual compared to even everyday American racism, even considering the likes of AfD

Us politics isn’t about economics anyway, especially when you’ve got Republicans raising taxes sky high and restricting free trade. It’s about social and cultural issues more than ever these days.

the joke is 0300pm => 3pm = 15:00

You’re taking miltary time but putting it on a 12 hour clock, so you have to specify am or pm

Art isn’t about making something pretty, nor is it really about design, it’s about wanting to do or make something with no ulterior motive, or going beyond what you have to go make something inspiring (these are the same thing when you think about it).

Clip art, a lot of corporate design, a lot of architecture and more isn’t meant to be art, it’s meant to fulfill a purpose and maybe look pretty doing it. That’s not what art is.

Cameras largely killed off commissioned portrait because people don’t care about the process, they just want a picture of themselves, therefore the portrait wasn’t art, it was utility.

That doesn’t mean that it’s impossible for a portrait to be art, nor that photography isn’t art, just that unskilled people were suddenly able to make what they were looking for to a “good enough” standard much more conveniently.

The same can be seen for so many things, including AI being used for clip art or supplementary images in articles. In the case of AI, if all you want is any picture that help support part of an article you’re writing, you didn’t want art in the first place. If you use AI to help you make a statement, or to match a vision you have in your head, or even do things like poke around at the internals to distort the output, then that is art.

If it’s Hirevue, I stopped bothering after 5 or so, I’d never got through one and yet managed to get through every single HR phone screen etc.

It depends if it’s AI grading it or not I guess, as AI has no understanding of nuance so will just accept a very narrow range of similar candidates

Long term, probably less good of an idea than using LLVM, especially when you get into the MLIR extensions which let you define super simple transforms, however for just adding extensions to rust, using rust is probably a good idea.

If you can, put things on the walls - you can get cheap paintings from charity shops, posters etc

That’s why we invented bridges and viaducts, we didn’t want the trains to feel left out

woe is me, a news source that wants to remain independent of outside interests is taking steps to avoid having to get funded by big businesses or the government who’ll want to set an agenda…

I’d be more concerned about reading something free and not ad-supported (and like it or not, untargeted ads are next to worthless), as the money has to be coming from somewhere

Yes, but for human related reasons. Humans moved them around a lot in Africa and Asia - moving them from Southeast Asia to India and Madagascar is bound to have an impact on the currents they get caught up in.

Exactly, 60k rows is negligible enough in most cases that you can just treat it as free unless you’re doing a cross join on it or something, unless he’s doing something like using an unordered text file as his database with no ram or cache

Libertarian ≠ capitalist… It’s just a diet version of anarchism at its core which hustlers are trying to rebrand as being purely pro-business.

There’s even Libertarian Socialism

My sister did, you just need approval from some government offices so you don’t get mice that’ve had rabies-ebola-smallpox-anthrax tested on them getting out
