Spain would probably be around that much if my calculations are correct.

Something with enough context to write sensible test cases for a large codebase. It would be great if you could write test cases for a couple of domains, then ask it to write cases for a third domain following the same general style as the first. It would ideally have a conversation about what things to mock/stub and what things to keep.

I personally think 5 years isn’t enough time to get to that point with something that works really well. It’s tricky enough to get a junior up to speed with doing it sensibly, but cutting down on the time it takes to build a good test suite would mean we Devs can spend a lot more time on features and improvements.

Oh it’s totally normal for someone to shoot themselves15 times with a gun that holds 11 bullets. They probably reloaded halfway through.

Eh only 43% of the vote though. It’s just FPTP that cause the majority in the house of commons. It wasn’t exactly a binding win for Brexit considering the parties pushing for either remaining or another referendum won more votes overall. Plus a big part of it was a vote against Corbyn, rather than a vote for Brexit.

General elections are too general to be used as justification for a single policy IMO.

I don’t understand this argument re Scotland. Brexit was a disaster for a country which had been a member with a trading block for a few decades and which only had some regulatory compliance laws on its own books to amend.

Scotland has been fully integrated into the UK economy, political system, and legal system, etc for hundreds of years. It would be many many times more painful and damaging for them to leave, and joining the EU after who knows how many years of sitting up there isolated wouldn’t make up for what Scotland would lose by leaving the UK.

We should be arguing for more cooperation and bigger unions, not smaller ones. Further devolved powers, a better system for representation of the nations in parliament, kicking out the Tories and bringing in more beneficial policies for the UK, etc should be the priority imo. Not even more -exits.

Yeah I think it’s because there’s so much less engagement here than on Reddit. The same toxic people would have been buried or down voted to hell over there, but here with far far fewer comments those toxic trolls will remain visible and take up a disproportionate amount of any comments section.

There’s also a selection bias thing going on, people who would get shadow banned or downvoted on Reddit find that they get engagement with their content here so stick around, the people who they put off will leave, which causes the toxicity ratio to go up and eventually the place will end up full of toxic commenters and posters. With a federated system this is an incredibly difficult problem to solve.

There’s some interesting musings on how this can affect the development of online spaces here which has stuck with me since I read it. https://eev.ee/blog/2016/07/22/on-a-technicality/

Don’t bother engaging with them. They aren’t going to change their mind. That’s the downside with Lemmy. There are so few users that these obstinate trolls don’t get buried. Engaging with them just makes their bad takes and bad faith bs take up more space in a thread.

It’s possible they are a real person who’s been banned from most other platforms for spreading their bile and have settled here because the low engagement means their troll bait gets picked up, or they are a non US citizen trying to astroturf US political shit.

On the newclay websites they advertise that they are selling their IP until Dec 31st. Maybe Aardman can buy the IP and license it to a subcontractor supplier or something? Or preferably open source it.

Yeah I run Pop shell (gnome with a bunch of tweaks) and don’t miss a dock or task bar at all.

Great keyboard navigation of workspaces and automatic tiling make it super easy to organise programs and navigate to what I need almost instantly.

I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with cosmic once it’s ready.

I sure hope that’s not the case. Would mean even more long lasting harm as they are on the way out of the door.

I don’t know if they’ll have time or enough political capital to get it through before November, and the reshuffle seems to be mostly trying to swing back slightly to the center, so hopefully they just write it off as a failed policy from Suella.

Good. Who even wants this? It’s a stupid and very expensive policy that won’t solve any actual problems.

Bring on the GE. Can’t wait for this lot to get the boot.

The polity series would be really cool. It’s a great universe with lots of options for storytelling (which the diversity of the books demonstrates). Starting with prador moon and then following the war with the prador for a while would be amazing to see.

If I had another choice I’d pick the Children of Time series.

eventually

I’d absolutely love to see the whole heresy play out on the screen, but it would be hundreds or thousands of hours to show it all lol. I’ve been reading through it at a pretty good pace and after a year in only about halfway through lol.

Looking forward to seeing what Cavill does with 40k. I heard they only got the rights to 40k though, not 30k or fantasy, so it’s possible someone else gets those rights.

It’s hard to trust any of these numbers. 1 innocent death is 1 too many, but the numbers seem to come from Hamas and they have every incentive to inflate them.

Are Hamas fighters or legitimate targets being included in these figures for instance? The 500 dead at the “hospital” seen very dubious too given the scale of the actual destruction, it’s unclear whether that number is included also.

All three, plus 13 years of underinvestment in the country and mismanagement of the economy leaving us all poorer and more exposed to financial shocks.

Well this thread sure is depressing. It’s full of either tankies or people from Russian troll farms. Only one person actually trying to discuss the article, everyone else seems to be “whatabout America”-ing?

Pop shell has a bunch of lovely gnome tweaks and a keyboard focussed tiling manager and workspace navigator. It’s an absolute joy to use. Looking forward to the new cosmic DE they are working on. It’s based on rust and iced so should be both performant and extensible.

It absolutely wouldn’t be. What are you on about? A big part of why Labour are polling well because they look like a safe pair of hands. Starting an interparty factional war over who the new leader should be will completely damage that and possibly lose there election.

Half of the Tory base are either indifferent to a Labour victory or would actively vote for them. If you throw another Corbyn in the mix that will change and the base will come out again. It’s simple electoral math. Please stop advocating for more Tory rule.

Oh that’s a shame. Would be nice to have more clarity on that. I’d avoid posting claims that Israel are definitely responsible for that whilst also asking for people to verify things before spreading possible misinformation.

As you say there’s enough bad to go around as it is.

Seeing promising things about a 2 state solution being discussed at the Cairo peace summit. Let’s hope after the violence cooler heads prevail and we can see a lasting peace in the region.
