For Japan, shrinking population will mean an aging population with no one to care for them.

If you use a credit card, but can’t pay it immediately then you pay interest. It’s a trap the less wealthy fall into.

Same with my sister and her husband (London) Worst flu they ever had, I was looking after their kids. That said, later they tested positive for Covid antibodies

I’ve never seen any knife crime anywhere.

There isn’t really any location. Its socioeconomic. It’s young black men 16-24 who disproportionately end up dying to knife crime.

Male genital mutilation is very common

Are you still talking about Opus 4.5 I’ve been working on a Rust, kotlin and c++ and it’s been doing well. Incredible at C++, like the number of mistakes it doesn’t make

Had to look it up but I found Indian and Nigeria specifically as country of origin for work related migration

I’m hoping this is a puppy trait. Thats what my one year old golden-doodle does

I’ve had this scenario several times.

The last was when the company I worked for was acquired. We needed to adopt their CSS library for all our applications.

I changed their component based library to have semantic style css and dropped it right in.

Depends where you are socio-economically

I’d rather be poor in the UK I’d rather be chronically sick in the UK, that is if I’m not already wealthy and insured I’d rather be in the US and middle class - particularly with inherited wealth I choose to live in the UK as an high level (middle) manager with my similar status American wife

What about vaccines? In the UK we all have a scar from BCG vaccine

Seems a bit of a stretch. Git is not linear, and there’s no consensus mechanisms

I’d argue in the UK probation periods are effectively 2 years long.

Yes, it’s a great tool for integration. We have a product suite and it’s our chosen way to connect products.

So the opposite of encapsulation?

It’s an interesting topic but I find the article’s writing style impenetrable.

For example:

> The polish applied in adjectival designation inclines one to believe that a definition has been achieved, a conclusion won. A pile of qualities furnishes a synoptic view of the whole, and so begins the slippage from the conditional mood to the declarative.

Sorry, me too dumb to parse. This is just one sentence picked at random

Portland closed mental health institutions before (unrelated to) decriminalisation.

The west US just isn’t the same as Portugal in terms of care. It’s not there.

Just walked by for the first time in years.

I was surprised to see the buildings across the road demolished and Jamie Oliver restaurant is now called 411 bar.

Scrum is easy to criticise. Agile less so. One such Agile criticism is about principle “that working software as the primary measure of progress”. I understand the sentiment but it’s not enough, it’s got to meet the customer’s needs. Scrum is far too sprint release coupled. Sure you could separate them, but are you really doing Scrum then?

Did Google really use the “DevOps model”? Observing from the outside it looked like SRE was their alternative

I like it, but too often there are words that you never use!

You’d need to agree this with your employer

It’s how I’ve managed it in the past with a subordinate. We discussed the nature of his other work and agreed no conflict of interest.

Analogy that Americans won’t understand, “You can’t stop firearms deaths by banning guns.”

ICO pretty much said they were only going to enforce it like previous data protection laws anyway.

They were wrong, potentially and have adjusted their stance since.

They’re still poorly managing it because they lack decent information. I’d argue it’s the fault of the civil service that they’ve been crippling and obvious cronyism (e.g. Dido Harding) not equipped to provide decent information that they need for decision making.

We shouldn’t need to engineer around this. The fact this is needed shows Facebook wrongdoing.

As the only person doing that role within an company, you’ve probably been promoted as an acknowledgement of what you’re already doing what your superiors expect.

Keep learning always but the only person who can tell you how to be a success in this role is your boss and the stakeholders who pressure him

They had all of £700 revenue when SoftBank invested £500M. Not a clue as to what Improbable needed that for? to get those military gravy train contracts?
