You mean things like this?

It seems flying the English flag is now as transgressive as posting you're not a big fan of mass immigration on Facebook. And given that the latter is already likely to land you in trouble with the increasingly authoritarian state, it seems likely that the former might soon too.

I'm not exactly using Xitter, and his blog looks like a lot of reading only to find out who DHH is


Edit: oh, it seems like not much reading was needed, I'm starting to see your point after reading how good it feels to be in the Reagan's era again:

[L]et me tell you about the 80s. They were amazing. America was firing on all cylinders, Reagan had brought the morning back, and the Soviet Union provided a clear black-and-white adversarial image. But it was the popular culture of the era that still fills me with hiraeth.

[…]

It feels like we're finally emerging from this constant 90s Seattle drizzle to sunny 80s LA vibes in America. The constant pessimism, the cancellation militias, and the walking-on-eggshells atmosphere have given way to something far brighter, bolder, and, yes, better. An optimism, a levity, a confidence.

Thanks

Not gonna visit barcelona any time soon with this toxic attitude.

There was a comment here along the lines of ‘make tourists not want to come and your problem is solved’, maybe they want to be toxic to scare everyone off. If that's the case, I hope they will find out if it worked the way they wanted

Was there tourism in Victoria and what happened to it after the ban? I'm not clever enough to predict what exactly the consequences might be, but I was always interested in what could happen from banning all short-term rental (although maybe that's not the case?)

Can you link to the news you refer to? I also seem to haven't read it

Oh, I'm sure the plan is to not need senior engineers by that time, and just replace them with AI, too

Only if the crate she comes from has her properly exposed

Or it could melt. Not exactly sure if it could realistically, though

They are still amazed not to have found a person whose tendons will show on an X-ray… yet

And the princess doesn't live long enough to be returned from the castle

Man, 18 stories sounds like a bit too much even if it's not wood. I mean, I like the aesthetics, but not sure about how good high building are for the quality of life anymore

I imagine, healthcare case comes from when a medic announces bad news and tries to express compassion only to get sued because obviously that's the correct person to blame

I'm not entirely sold on the idea, because the article shows no example of defining and using special error codes. It leaves an impression that if anything you want to recover from is IO and HTTP (no HTTP/2, too) then it's all good.

Still it looks interesting and I will take a deeper look into it later
