Time for Liz Truss to shine!!

What precisely is your interpretation of Falkner’s assertion that trans people should lobby for a “third place”?

He had a number of unchaperoned calls with Putin. I think it’s more likely that he’s acting in fear of an unpleasant death; sometimes direct credible threats work wonders.

Joshu wants nothing on his pizza.

It means you can take out the bride’s party, or the groom’s party.

Thousands separator.

The answer to all your “okay I was wrong, but…” questions is “no”.

According to Baroness Falkner on R4 this morning, they can use their considerable lobbying power to advocate for “third spaces.” She actually said that about trans people, not intersex, but I presume her response would have been the same.

But in the meantime, going anywhere (or doing any sport) is probably off the cards. But thank goodness we have “clarity”, right?

I’m not sure if that opening sentence is fatuous or not. What errors in any industrial enterprise are not human in origin?

Yes! Steele’s Fortress-era talks are amazing. Really thought-provoking.

Did it? I thought that was Britain, in 1941.

(Edited to say: May 1940 - that was earlier than I’d thought.)

It doesn’t, but if it did that’d explain why there isn’t much of it around.

“Since we are talking about aggregating documents into an index, the word semigroup might pop into our heads.”

This is why Haskell tutorials have a bad rep. Why not use a common English term like “monoid” instead?

Snark aside, the <> approach to solving the problem piecewise and aggregating the results into a larger instance of the same type is a really convenient approach.

That’s actually the idea. It’s not general precrime, it’s a decision support tool for predicting recidivism when deciding parole cases.

That doesn’t mean it’s not on decidedly shonky ground statistically speaking.

570 recorded homicides between March 2023 and 2024.

Data on “hundreds of thousands” of people can’t provide the distinguishing markers to even have a stab at this.

It can reliably predict when people are black, though.

That’s a lot of toilets.

She (Paulina something…?) is rather famously (or infamously) banana-phobic. When the story went viral a handful of other public figures came out to say they had the same, somewhat unusual, phobia.

Sweden’s former minister for equality had a particular interest in these.

And as for your specific question: typechecked code doesn’t get to production with a type error; it won’t compile. There’s a common phrase, “left-shifting errors”. It means catching bugs as early in the development cycle as possible. In terms of things like developer time (and patience), it’s far more cost-effective to do so.
