And national service unless you leave the country long enough to age out.

So this was going to happen anyway?
Sounds like it, so it’ll be part of the already planned spending.
I hope there’s more reasons than just getting objective advice. £⅔B is a lot of money.
So in your head, people are rich because they throw away their money?
Nothing says “cheap” more than clothes which are pretending to be expensive. If you’re going to dress up, wear your better clothes that are in your normal style.
Personally I wouldn’t bother. Just wear what you normally wear. Not everyone is interested in clothes even if they have money.
If I take a sabbatical from my career and go work for a charity, I’m still taking a year off from my original job. What you do with the time is irrelevant to the language used.
Should people get parental leave? … absolutely. Is it “time off” from your job? … Yes. Are they taking a holiday? … No.
If 20mph zones were limited to specific areas I think they’d be better received. Richmond borough has made 20mph the default speed limit with exceptions for the top tier major roads (those with A numbers plus possibly a couple more).
It’s not even like it’s a borough with good (for London) public transport. Everything is busses.
Hard disagree. We can all survive without data centres. The transition from having them, to not having them is chaotic (as crowdstrike showed), but I think 99% of us would benefit from our financial / credit records being wiped out.
Part of it might be that I’m often having similar arguments with the team I run about introducing dependencies.
Engineers have a tendency to want to use the perfect tool for a job at the expense of other concerns. It could be ease of maintenance, availability of the skill-set, user experience, or whatever. If there’s pushback it’s normally that they are putting their own priorities above other people’s equally valid concerns.
Often I’m telling people to step-back. Stop pushing, listen to the resistance and learn from it. Maybe I’m on a bit of a crusade when I see similar situations in open-source.
That’s where I assumed it was going.
Unlikely. You probably will injest the poison and die, and depending on if the poison also acts as a venom they may / may not.
It’s probably more accurate to say "Venoms are injected. Poisons are injested. "
I think for python tooling the choice is Python Vs Rust. C isn’t in the mix either.
people like and want to program in rust
I think there’s a survivor bias going on here. Those that have tried rust and stuck with it, they also like it. Far more people in the python community haven’t tried it, or have and not stuck with it. I like and want to program Haskell. I’m not going to write python tools in it because the community won’t appreciate it.
Tools should be maintained by those that use them. Python doesn’t want to rely on the portion of the venn diagram that are rust and python users because that pool of people is much smaller.
Those languages bring different things though:
Python is the language the tool is for
C is the implementation language of Python and is always going to be there.
Cython is a very similar language to Python and designed to be very familiar to Python writers.
Fortran is the language that BLAS and similar libraries were historically implemented in since the 70s. Nobody in the python community has to write Fortran today. Those libraries are wrapped.
Rust is none of the above. Bringing it into the mix adds a new barrier.
I don’t think it’s a dream of “everything in python”, but “python tools for python development”. It means users of the language can contribute to the tooling.
How about “To learn it to that level will take 10,000 hours I don’t have”? Does that make more sense to you?
“learn Rust” in this case is learn it to a level where all of the little behaviour around cross language integrations are understood and security flaws won’t be introduced. Expert level.
It’s not “I did a pet project over the weekend”.
equivalent to one in every £3 spent.
Why not just say that ⅓ of money spent was on contracts that had red flags? That’s what they mean, but they’re trying to make it sound more damning and speaking nonsense.
Journalists and numbers is a bad mix.
On the topic of the actual story, I’m not surprised. When are we going to bring a case?
The better response was “It’s my private study and I can have any pictures I want in it”. Unfortunately he said that second.
…and people worry about the name of a git branch.
So are they really mammals?
